the mo beats experience Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Chech this out, it sounds massive "This early 1990s fictional interpretation of a combination of California and Nevada isn't just a greater Los Angeles called San Andreas (New York or Chicago's Liberty City of the west). As Game Informer goes on to elaborate, it is instead an amalgamation of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and all of the countryside that would lie between them. Each of the three areas corresponding to the three real-life cities upon which Rockstar drew inspiration is said to be as large as all of Vice City. Put them together and add in the in-between roads and you have a map that's substantially more than thrice the size of the last GTA. This is our backdrop for the latest crime spree. Replete with gangs, underlings, bosses, bystanders, and the promise of eventual cameos by GTA memorables, the adventure through San Andreas promises to be an extremely large one. A new streaming technology will ensure the changes in scenery are immediate, but will also allow for more detailed environments than before. This technological expansion also apparently goes on to include subtleties like real-time reflections, softer shadowing, ragdoll physics applied to fallen adversaries, and independent models dedicated to day and night cycles. All of this visual splendor is only in place to help develop the actual game, of course. When not criminal-ing, players will have to maintain their characters by consuming food. Eat too many donuts and you turn fat and lose stamina, speed, and respect. Go to the gym regularly and your boy will be a right and proper killing machine. Even his appearance will change, depending. So, if you want to swim with some skill (you sure can now), then you'll have to lay off the twice fried Twinkies.

Slim Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hmm, I'm not sure I fancy the whole 'tamagochi' style needing food and exersize thing. I just want to blast around a city shooting people. The countryside stuff sounds nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I wouldn't mind lending someone a copy of GTA San Andreas and a memory card if they complete all the missions and save it to the memory card. Just give it back when it's completed! (I can only play these things with all the cheats and levels complete, I get bored trying to beat clocks and be somewhere at a specified time etc. My life's to short for that!)

The countryside stuff sounds nice though. I guess it's adding a tiny RPG stylee element to it. As long as they don't go the whole hog and have you gaining experience after each kill it should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
