New GTA: San Andreas Trailer Released 44

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday October 20, 2004 @11:45AM from the i-still-want-lazlow dept.

Thanks to Gamespot for the heads up on the newly released San Andreas trailer. It features, among other things, landmarks, dialogue, combat, and a new game feature: parachuting. The trailer is set to a song with explicit lyrics, so viewer discretion is yadda yadda...

OH SWEET JESUS! WON'T SOMONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Yet another game for people to boycott and claim is deconstructing the fabric of society. *shakes head*

  Well, if it doesn't have it, I'm pretty sure GTA: The Next One will have it, since it seems many people really noticed that part of the trailer.
  
  I just want to drive the combine harvester. And the bulldozer sounds interesting as well. And thank god the boats won't be such deathtraps as before. You got in the boat but you never got out. Either the boat exploded with you inside or you missed the shore when jumping out.

I'm really excited about this game. I think one of the nice additions is the weight change that your character can go through in the game. Apparently, if you eat junk food all day and never work out [just drive from place to place in other people's cars] you'll gain weight and become a fat mess. Pretty funny.
It seems like more and more, GTA and The Sims is set to converge into a game where you buy a house, decorate it, and kill people in the streets. Time to build a new garage!

  Lol... the feature you're most interested in is your character gaining weight. Perhaps you'd be more interested in something that skips the violence and gets straight into what you're interested in? [amazon.com]

Forget parachuting, will they be adding the ability to swim this time? Or will they continue to treat water as some ultra-toxic substance that paralyzes and kills you the second you fall into it?

  Yes, there is swimming in the new GTA. It also counts as exercise and makes your character stronger.
  No more toxic water!

Makes me want to fire up Vice City just to stay in practice.

I like the idea of having a parachute. It'll make running from the cops more interesting.

Parachuting... Maybe? (Score:1)

Based on that trailer. It seems that the ability to parachute is tied to that mission. As in: Get on play, Do thing, Jump out back. Cut scene: You, jumping and parachuting. Personally, I hope that's not true. I want to grab a parachute and use it as a way to escape something or whatever. I'm just saying what it looks like.

I really did enjoy GTA. Actually all my brothers love it and are sickened by the fact that we liked it.

I hope these guys spend more time on the physics engine though. If they could get to 70% of Driver3's physics I'd be happy.

I really just love getting a fast car and driving (running over people is secondary).
