Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas 522
Tickenest writes "According to a Yahoo-reprinted press-release, Rockstar Games has officially announced Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the latest in the GTA series. The press release continues: 'Developed by world-class designers Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be available exclusively for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and is expected to be in stores in North America on October 19, 2004 and in Europe on October 22, 2004.'" This confirms earlier rumors of (initial?) PS2 exclusivity and possible name for this much-awaited game.

=P Seriously it would be awesome to have an earthquake in a game, I don't think any other GTA-style game has done something like that (i.e. disaster scenarios).

then in grand theft auto: los vegas, you'll deliver hatian hookers to cubans and vice versa to promote love between them and settle the gripes of the previous game by the cuban community.

developer #1: well, lets take the already written game engine and capitalize off it's success by making the same game over and over with different cities!

What kind of crap is that? Everyone knows that in the real world when you plow your car into the water, you should just sit in it until it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. You'll just wake up in front of the hospital in a few hours.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have to pop this adrenaline pill and jump on the roof of my house. I think someone left a shotgun there.
Now, to reply seriously, the #1 feature for me in VC was the property buying. I too would like to see it expanded. I would also like to see more use for money in the game - you always finish with millions of dollars you never need.

-To better accomidate the casual player market, there will only be one car model. It will come in 196 colors, but they will all have the same handling and radio station.
-The "New and Improved" physics engine will allow players to jump their car over a mile. Crashing into a fence, however, will still ruin your ride.
-There will approximately 600 blocks to explore, each one requiring a 30 second loading delay.
-To avoid the "What do I do next?" question, the mission system will be replaced with a multiple choice plotline which will feature the same exact missions but one path will always lead through a vent.

I heard it was going to be GTA: Spira. You'd play as Paine after she goes insane from snorting tainted megalixer crystals. They said you'd be able to jack chocobos, do jobs for the LeBlanc syndicate and pick up lesbian hooker nuns in Bevelle.
And Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan was going to be a playable character with a +7 bowel disruptor.
Or maybe I just dreamed it all.
Oh well.
