GTA SA: Trailers, preview sites, teaser sites etc

balkieb2002

This is one game i cant wait for and after seeing the trailer [even though its only one minute long], i want it even more :eek:

You can get GTASAtrailer1_320x240.wmv 8.6mb [regular]

or GTASAtrailer1_640x480.wmv 9mb [extra large]

Alternatly check out http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/ for quicktime versions [31mb online version or 100mb online version]

All i can say is roll on October!!

SantaHoe

Niiiice... gonna check out the quicktime versions now... or are they all just the one trailer?
[edit] Yep looks like it [/edit]

read a review of driver3 in the edge ,thrashed it and gave it 3 out of ten, is it really that bad?

and swimming too, thank f***

SantaHoe

Yeah it's brutal.
Filled with annoying things like having to chase a CPU car for miles through winding streets and having to do it about 200 times before you can finaly complete it because you keep hitting lampposts while the CPU car also can't avoid them at that speed, but doesn't have to because they can drive right through them, not to mention the fact that if you try and ram them, no matter how perfect your angle it's you that gets spun out while they don't budge an inch... also the AI sucks and the missions are pretty dull.

I think it's gonna be a let down.

But the trailer imo looks terrible. it's not exciting, like gta should be! but it'll stilll sell a rake load

midget lord

Im looking forward to this too, although i may have to wait til the new year to buy it as i have the finals of my professional exams in december and the studying could get in the way of some hardcore gaming.

Brock

like evad says the trailer is terrible it shows nothin new or spectacular apart from some dude gettin a hair cut this game is getting more like the sims with having to eat go gym etc. the vice city formula was grand why change it
Brock

Retr0gamer

Well they got the 'hood' atmosphere down to a tee. Can't wait for this. Even a rehash of vice city would satisfy me.

The Real B-man

yeah boyz in the hood cant wait

Giblet

Jesus you think they would show a trailer that wasn't bogged down by FPS problems.

Placebo

wtf was that, sims 5 ?

projectmayhem

the biggest problem i've found with gta is people slate it without playing it. lots of people have spoken about the trailer looking bad. and the screenshots looking bad. but they never look that way in-game. they're always really nice and slick.

i'm dying for this game. roll on october..

seamus

It's GTA. You drive around blowing **** up, and jumping off things. How could it possibly be any worse? This time you have more room, and different stuff to blow the **** out of.

Sounds good to me.

They done exactly what they wanted at this stage, and rightly so. For most people - well for the people Rockstar thinks are fans of the games - the trailer should have installed a sense of anticipation.

I can’t see any radical change in the GTA 3* formula?

* Vice City is just GTA 3 in a different city with a few bits added on, GTA3 was just an update of GTA1/2, SA is the same again.

Also, as I understand it, the trailer was really supposed to be watched (along with the smaller ones) around the same time having a look around the flash promo site introducing the first city.

balkieb2002

The trailer was only a teaser trailer not a full blown advertisement for the game so i wasn't expecting much from it [unlike alot of other people here]

San Andreas has 3 cities each the size of vice city as well as all the country roads in between, so like monument said there radical changes only changes for the better.

I also can't see where people keep comparing it to the sims, the only thing your doing if changing how your charater [personalising him as it may], which is what happens in many rpgs or other pc games.

Like Seamus said GTA:SA is VC/3 only bigger and better [with more stuff to blowup/kill/steal etc.. ] Whats not to like!!

Tusky

Wait until you play it ! GTA always delivers .

balkieb2002

I should also have mentioned the mini-movies that ya can watch detailing places that you can go in SA. on http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/ [ i didn't see it before as it didn't work through opera]. Some of the police comments are cool and have the usual GTA humor on those places!

SantaHoe

I didn't see a mention of the PC release date... probably 6 to 12 months as before?

balkieb2002

Yeah it will prob be same sort of release schdule as vice city.

Hopefully have it finished on the PS2 by the time it comes out on the PC so i can start it all over again

Stephen

Hopefully it won't be out on PC until after May, otherwise i'm not going to get my degree

www.epsilonprogram.com

robbie1876

What's the connection do you know?

Delta_ie

The first one is a singer from manchester and is involved with drugs and san andreas gangs.
The second is a site of a cult religion.

lee_baby_simms

It has to be Shawn Ryder doin the voice:

Vice City was kinda a let down but i think this is going to be the dogs bollocks

Blisterman

What's the song playing in the trailer? It's pretty cool.

I actually felt vice city was a big step in the right direction [espec reintroduction of bikes], with good story and plently of side missions as well as a big map. Only let down was the aiming though that was sorted with the pc version.

If SA promises all its imporvements over VC then i'll be very happy next month!

exciting piece.

balkieb2002

Thanx mate thats a sweet preview and whetting me appetite more :P

balkieb2002

Rockstar have updated their site so it now shows off san fierro (san francisco) plus they've also realeased a very nice offical trailer.

http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/trailers/GTASA_TRAILER2_480x360.wmv (8mb)

only wets my appetite for this game even more...

projectmayhem

Fast cars, insane stunts, exotic dancers, 'be proud mister woo' dual Mac 10s and G n' R playing in the background. Instead of being 99.9999% likely to get my money on release day Rockstar are now 100% likely to receive it. In other words I'm going to make sure i stay alive until its release date. People who thought the first video wasn't action packed will see a big change in this video. Get it from www.eurogamer.net or just google for it you lazy slob.

tman

http://rockstargames.com/sanandreas/

they've also added a San Fierro section to the flash site... with some video clips sneakily hidden about the place.

G 'n' R - Welcome to the jungle
Chakachas - Jungle Fever
A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray

^ tunes recognised from the trailers and site so far. looks like its shaping up to be another stunning soundtrack.

ixoy

Yeah but how much of all this is cut scenes and how much actual footage of the world you can play in? I really hope that cool shot of the bike vaulting over all the exploding vehicles is something you can recreate...

I'm sure there's plenty of it that u can do yur self.

I justed that video there and it is sweet. Also looked at the site, San fiero(aka San francisco), i think its tight they have recreated actual real buildings and landmarks in San fran like Lombard street(the reall windy street) and the Pointy building in China town, and they even put in Haight Street(the hippy place) and Castro Street(the gay area) completed rainbow flags an all. Man this game is going to be soooo sweet. Pity about having to wait another 6months for the better PC version

[CrimsonGhost]

Right, well I watched this late last night when I got back from having a meal, I'd left it downloading. Holy Sh1T! Wow. Goddam I cannot wait. If I wasn't starting a new job I'd be taking time off work for a week or so to play it.

projectmayhem

this game will be sweet.

as for "how much can you do?"... you can do all of it, pretty much. the same happened for VC and gta3, people questioned if various things in the trailers were possible, but actually they're just rockstar playing the game and using the cinema-camera (forget what it's called) engine to make it look nice and hollywoodish.

Retr0gamer

Thats no ray liotta or tom sizemore. I want Snoop Dogg in it. And hopefully not Dr. Dre, he was useless in training day.

[CrimsonGhost]

Snoop Dog would be cool. You could supply him with new wheels cause he "knows people that knows people that robs people".

LegacyUser

Snoop can't be in it. He was in True Crime.

It has to be 50 Cent or Eminem or both.

Please let them both be in it...

And you wonder why you have negative rep ? :rolleyes:

LegacyUser

Oh I wonder do I?

I see some people get some sort of ego boost from positive rep from their nerdy internet friends. You fool.

ahem.
Anyway, i just hope this game isnt all hype like vice city was on the ps2. Ill believe the hype when ive played the game, i wont get sucked into rockstars 'fancy camera angles and high res screenshots = great game' marketing like they did with VC.
Im sure itll be good on pc, but im wary about the ps2 version. Ive been hurt too many times
