Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
holy shit...this game is sweet! not for the kiddies tho...full out swearing and everything. Samuel L. Jackson and Ice T lend their vocal talents, and the soundtrack is ace!
If you haven't got it yet, stop whatever it is you're doing right now and go get it
DO IT!

Apparently it suffers from popup and slowdown, and that's when using HDLoader, or whatever it's called.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Too many good titles coming out one after another... overload!!!
I'm looking at picking up a gamecube in the coming fortnight while I know it hasn't got GTA:SA or Halo 2 coming out for it, it's got some serious amount of multiplayer titles which I freaking miss.

While welcome, news of San Andreas for the PC was not unexpected. PC versions of GTAIII and GTA: Vice City similarly followed suit after several months. Unfortunately for Xbox purists, no mention was made of a version for the Microsoft console

That's where Nintendo have always excelled - on their multiplayer games. I've been considering getting a Gamecube too. They're relatively cheap - it's just the games that are a bit pricey.
When's the next Nintendo console out (approximately)? The GC has been out for a while - I don't want to get one and then find out a new console is coming out...

Next is the Nintendo DS which is a handheld which will be spanky cool apparrently.
I'm quite happy with my Sonic Collections, Metroid Prime and FF: Crystal Chronicles atm, got Metroid with the package, Sonic Collections and FF: CC for 15 quid ea. In total I spent only 140 quid for a GameCube, Memory Card, Extra Controller and 3 games *grin*
Sonic Collections is a perfect emulation of every Sonic Megadrive title that was in exsistence, even to the point where they've recreated the slow-mo in two player vs on the Mystic Cave levels in Sonic 2.... (the collections has Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D, Sonic Spinball, Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and 5 Locked games which I suspect will be the Master System/Game Gear/Mega CD Sonic Titles.)
Planning to head out today and pick up some more games given what a ****ing bargain a lot of the titles are for this platform.

it's not complete but it's an indicator at least.
according to SA Games, Lazlow cameos (presumably on the rock station) but doesn't host anything. IIRC he isn't producing the soundtrack this time however, so less involvement is to be expected.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
They're going on about San Andreas on Radio 1 now.
I mean, I know Colin Murray is shit, but to just play the GTA radio instead of them being on is just lazy
Although it's better than Colin and Edith.
Nerds are now ringing in talking about their experiences in the game.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Don't derail threads guys.
PS Apparently the worldwide release date was broken in Dublin on Wednesday and six copies were sold which shouldn't have been. I'm sure it was broken in many other places as well but **** you I mentioned this instance first.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I was planning on getting it today... as i believe its the UK release date.
however im going skydiving again this weekend (hoorah for me) so ill get it on monday probably.
i am SOOOOooo looking forward to this game though, it looks absolutely fantastic from what ive seen/heard. And hopefully it will be as difficult as hell to get through too (having said that, i never actually finished vice city, but meh).

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
the Local EB was mobbed, everyone and their grannies(well mothers really) were in there trying to pick up a copy or taking advantages of offers trying to get it at reduced price... (the whole trade in game stuff).
As for the staff it seems they had already played it a lot by now and everyone was just generally talking about it... I haven't seen a buzz about a game like this in a long time.

Well, it was something he said in a previous thread about experiences in a local gym shower that seemed to give me the impression, not sure why though.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
I got my copy today, I was offered the chance of some 'special promotions'
Scarface Collectors edition for just £10 (I bought it from Virgin for about £5 the other month)
and the strategy guide which can be found as an ebook on the internet!

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
If San Andreas is based on Los Angeles, Las Vegas and that other place in California, and Vice City was based on Miami, then what GTAIII's city based on?

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
how many missions do you have to do before you can go to the other islands without immediately getting 4 stars? ive done all the 'homie' missions so far (apart from 1 or 2 of OGs) and am just starting to do the ones for the bent copper dude.
I wanna go to las vegas though, i bet the inside of the casinos looks ace.
