How can you say a thing like that without being racist? You know I've never heard any black people complain about being a white guy in a game, which almost every game I've ever played has a white guy as the main charater. Now that there's one game that has a black guy and your already bitching! [/b][/quote]Because I prefer being a white character? Dear God I AM TERRIBLY SORRY for stating my opinion. Racist? My post was not even slightly racist. :rolleyes:

You said that "I hate being black" and you don't think thats slighty racist?! Whatever your right I completely misunderstood.

I do hate being black. That isn't racist, that's a character preference. This game more then makes up for it. Hell, with the right clothes I can "Act" like a cool black like Samuel JAckson or Denzel from Training Day.

Finally some scans of the city San Fierro.......













The new San Fierro information comes from the October issue of the german magazine Play the Playstation. It is being released this Friday. The highlights:


There are 150 core missions.
Golden Gate Bridge is called the "Gant" bridge.
There is a district which is very reminiscent of "Doherty", a place in San Francisco which got hit by an earthquake in 1989.
There is a hippie festival in San Fierro by the name of "Hushbury & Garcia Joint Festival".
Weather will be very specific. It can be raining in one place, sunny in another.
San Fierro will introduce the character Cesar.
When talking to people, you have a choice of dialogue you can browse through.
You can install nitro boost on your car, which when activated will speed up your car considerably and present you with a blur effect, similar to the one in NFS: Underground.
Chinatown is in San Fierro.
In Chinatown you will encounter the Triads, and you will work for a blind guy by the name of Wu Zi Mu. One of his tasks for you is to rescue fugitives in a container. (connected to human trafficking)

New screenshots include:


A huge never before seen artwork of a guy in a black suit, wearing sunglasses. Assisting him is another person, in the same clothing, with a golden earring. This must be our first look at Wu Zi Mu.
A "VW Bully" with a peace symbol.
CJ in a blue sports car under a sign "Hushbury & Garcia Joint Festival".
CJ with 2 guns and an afro behind a red ferrari. There is an open garage with a sign "Transfender".
CJ in a boot wih two motors under a giant bridge called "Gant bridge".
A GT-40-like red sports car with white racing stripes. In the caption: "You can also steal a cable car" (which is shown behind the sports car).
A street with 6 cars on it, in the background is a giant bridge.
CJ on a motorbike with a yellow/black "1" painting. The bike looks awesome, you can see every single cogwheel. And there is a police helicopter above CJ.

I'm there now!

Guys im starting to go crazy in anticipation

I know what your all thinking. "Man this kid has no life." But when it comes to the GTA series, for some reason I go nuts before every release. The next month and a half will be the longest ever. But of course thats what I said about the same time last year.

thats how i was about vice city. ive played the gta games since the original one but when gta III came out i didnt pay much attention to it until my cousin gave it to me. after that when i hurd about vice city i was how to say extatic about it now san andreas comming out it starts all over again

i have some questions:
what about an xbox version?

will the pc version be controller supported?

any cheats?

The XBOX version is supposed to come out in late Spring/Early Autumn

yeea!

Electronic Gaming Monthly's latest issue is very nice with a great preview article for San Andreas. Most of my questions were answered about the game in the article. There's a lot of information about the game in the article. It was money well spent if you want to know if not everything about the game. I can't wait for the release now.

This game is shaping up to be great.. The one thing they seem to be keeping under wraps is 'Las Venturra', the Las Vegas imitation city.

That's probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, with the ability to play cards and gamble and own casinos. The previews don't seem to want us to know much about that yet.

The latest article in EGM went in to moderate detail about Las Venturas. You can play a lot of games and such in the casinos, and most of the casinos you can enter. What disapointed me was that table poker such as Texas Holdem was not listed as one of the games. The only kind of poker they had was video poker. Im pretty pissed about that.

yeah.. doesn't sound too great. I'm a pretty big poker fan. Hopefully the rest will have some good development. Thanks for the information

New and absolutely fabulous trailer right here!
Trailer2

anywhere, where we can see the teaser trailer for free? I'm not a memeber and don't plan to become one.

Ditto Don Lights. I really want to see this, but I aint gonna pay for a subscription.

You only have to be to watch it with quicktime. Hit the realplayer link.

Oh my dear lord...

That was absoluteley amazing. But it just made wait that much longer. Wont the time ever come?

Guns N Roses

I can only hope Nirvana and several other rock bands are on the stations.

That's awesome!

I don't understand why people have a problem with playing an inner-city thug. I mean the last two GTA "heroes" were friggin thugs, so whats the difference?

Besides, I give Rockstar Games for trying something new instead of being way too formulaic that has occured to some hit videogame series. Besides, from what I've read and understood, there will be references/homages to such gangster movies we dig like CARLITTO'S WAY, CASINO, GOODFELLAS(especially in a mission where you have to sneak into someone's house and snipe the snitch or whatever without waking up the neighbors)...

But also it will cover the "black gangster" films that were so dominant in the late 80's/early 90's like DO THE RIGHT THING(not really gangster, but often associated with the genre for some reason.), MENACE II SOCIETY, FRIDAY(a comedy but again placed with this group. Beats me as well), and of course the Oscar-nominated BOYZ N THE HOOD.

et my cop the game the day it is released ordered from amazon.

theres also a part that pays homage to scarface yet again with 1 of the characters sayin the onyl friend i have is this bird tony and the bird goes " i never fucked anyone over i my life that didnt have it comin to em"
