Nice, and it's multiplayer this time, which is a nice added bonus - I can see long crazy nights just screwing around in the city instead of doing missions. Hurry the f*** up though already

Edit:

Found it:

Category: Action Adventure > Modern
Tech Information: Widescreen, 1-2 Players.
See GTA: San Andreas on: PC | PlayStation 2

Contrary to popular belief, multiplayer can still be just 2 people, but if my prayers could get answered is that we would get online co-op, but I highly doubt that'll ever happen.

Improved graphics. Much better framerates. Custom soundtracks.... yeah, sounds way better to me.

Im not to sure if I can convince my parents to buy me this. I doubt they would go for hearing either the N or F word at least twice every cutscene...

That was low man... I mean, I would have to shoot myself if I took a girl the the cheapie theaters on the sale night and had to get a ride from my parents.

But seriously, did they need to say all that stuff as much as they did? I guess im gonna have to hook my wireless headphones back up to my TV.

This is awesome news! Now there really isn't any game that draws attention to the PS2.

splitscreen!!!??? Oh HELL yes.....

12-16-2004, 07:56 PM

Nice. Still think I'm gonna pick up a PS2 for some RPGs, but I'll hold out buying San Andreas until Xbox gets its version.

And it'll release just around my birthday. Gee, thanks Rockstar, you guys are a bunch of ... uh, rockstars?...

Its not splitscreen the screen inlarges and if u go to far itll say player two died. You can either rampage or free roam and its not really the best part of the game.

I might be able to convince myself to get this game.. of course I'd have to play it late at night when my kid is asleep though.

They should go the extra mile and implement online play. Just imagine the **** you can do on there. Make gangs, pile up on weapons. Also could have a clan gang style type of thing. But i dont think they will and just give us a port with better graphics

Awesome news, I'm pretty surprised it's so soon as well. I figured a december 05 release or something like the double pack got.

Why keep from exposing your kid to this garbage? Don't expose even yourself to it.

If Rockstar goes the extra-mile and adds some sort of online multiplayer, then I'll consider it. But, they won't, so I won't bother. (Where was the online mode in State of Emergency?)

I hope the multiplayer feature will be in the xbox version. I will buy it unless it's on PC w/multiplayer.

Its really good on ps2 its probably gonna be way better on xbox.

Yeah okay, lets see, all games are better on XBOX not to brag, but through past expiriences and knowledge, the games will always look better on XBOX due to the inner dimensions, For example, GTA3 looks weird in PS2 the cars look fatter, but in XBOX way different, Same thing with Need For Speed Underground 1 n 2........ Yeah unless its on that new Slimmer PS2. :yikes:

I've been playing this on PS2 and its much better then the first 2 (based off this engine). So much to do compared to 3 and even VC. Only problem is it lacks polish. Its very rough around the edges. Many, many of the old GTA problems still exist and its terribly buggy for a console game.

I guess they decided it was better to pack it full of stuff rather than polishing whats there. Which is good and bad.

I still get pissed off when I have to run through 4 or 5 different sequences just to get back to the point in a mission that I got killed in.

Oh well, lots to hate, but much, much more to love.
