    dunno if this is a repeat thread etc, apologies if so, havent got time to look too far.

    anyways, for those of you who don't know, Bigfoot is in GTA SA. He lives in the mountains and there has been a challenge to photograph him and get it online. think it was on the Rockstar site.

    long story short, someone found him :)

    what a game!

    havent seen that before pretty cool :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭jonnybadd


    Many of these up and most of them, like this one look faked, has it been confirmed as official?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker


    yeah thats obviously a guy dressed in a suit. if you squint you can see his watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    LOL

    seriously though, i never ceased to be amazed what bored nerds do in their spare time but i draw a line at faking a bigfoot in a video game.

    anyways, heres another close up is one:

    i really love the fact that this game even has its own paranormal encounter :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    and just in case the conspiracy theorists have a field day on this one, the red writing was added to the picture afterwards.

    our 'source' did not, i repeat, DID NOT write near, or on his television.

    There are several supposed paranormal encounteres in san andreas bigfoot, leatherface, ghosts, ufo but none of them have been confirmed by rockstar but the jury is still out. I must admit that the second pic is the 'realist' looking one ive seen so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Shazbot


    is that a mountain bike race the second pic shows ? where can i do that ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭jonnybadd


    Mount chiliad


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,410 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I think these probably count towards the pictures taken statistic. Like the maoh head in the canyon area. Some Konami influence anyone? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Man that is awesome. Can not wait until this comes out on PC!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 95 ✭✭L!aM

    yes because in the code it's in the "bigfoot" sub proceedure. it's probably just a normal person with a hairy skin.

    apparently there's ufo's too, in the desert.. and they interrupt your radio. haven't gotten it at all but now with bigfoot being seen, i will be looking. the truth is out there.

    Subject: Q: Does Big foot Exist?

    Dear Consumer,

    Thank you for your interest in our technical support, Unfortunately at this time we are unable to release full details about all the hidden surprises Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has to offer, however i can promise you we have hidden a bunch of easter eggs. Be on the lookout, because you are bound to find something lurking on the mountain tops, or swimming on the ocean floor. You might even see some unwelcome bodies hidden in the wheat fields. There are over 30 Easter eggs that are not discussed in the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Official Strategy guide, however we will most likely post them at a later date. Thank you for your E-mail and i hope this helped solve some of your problems

    Thank you,

    Rob Newkirk

    Now this sounds promising.

    also notable:
    I've Been doing me some snooping around the wed, and have come acros a faction message bored called GTA: SA Myths and Legends and in one of the threads, the Admin has put up some vital info (if i'ts true), which he received from this guy:

    - You can only find Bigfoot between the hours of 12:00 to 20:00

    - You also must be wearing a Trucker Cap, a Plaid Shirt, and blue jeans

    Dunno if this works, but the guy claims he has only seen it in Back O' Beyond, in them cloaths, and never in the Airport. Anyway it is still worth a shot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    i read this and got excited
    went on a bigfoot hunt, found nothing yet though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    heres something freaky though
    theres a place ive been
    and them kinda hovercraft boats appear by themselves on the beach and drive by themselves..
    they keep doing it too.......
    ghost drivers oOOoOOoo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    I SAW!!!
    I BELIEVE!!!

    Starting at Angel pine caravan park about 15.00 head north east across the wooden bridge, then heading east towards back o beyond (i looking at the map now)when you cross river and in back o beyond, head south the last hill before the road (U shaped on map) i seen him walking across top of it , in my panic to get photo i tried to drive up , car flipped bounced rolled by time i ran up he was gone , spent another 2 hours looking , nowt.

    But he was there :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    ive been searching mostly the back o beyond and anywhere east of mount chiliad....
    even just searching is freaky especially when its dark or raining and stormy......

    Ive been looking no luck with anything yet!
    If i spot something im gonna blow its head off :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    it's such a genius - i heard there were fake web sites etc made to promote the game.

    i'm willing to bet that there is a big foot and Rockstar released a 'screen grab' and the 'real screen grab' Krusty linked to. they have started their own mini conspiracy theory the best type of viral promotion you can get.

    if it's true about the close encounters in the desert, interfering with your radio etc, i'm going to marry this! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    just saw an new zealand games mag has put a bounty on the bigfoot and the first person to slay and photograph the critter gets it.....im goin a huntin tonight :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    yeah theres a load of websites and gaming mags who are offering money and prizes etc for the first person who gets him..... and video tapes it or something.
    all im doing now is hunting the fecker...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    think how funny it would be if there was network play. bands of hicks in pickups raoming the countryside to put this creatures head on a plinth.....id play just to watch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    ive been raking all forums etc. found a few emails apparently from rockstar stating bigfoot rumour is false....
    however why then in the back of the book does it say thanks to bigfoot?
    do they mean the monster truck making people?... surely not because no cars are associated with real manufacturers.....

    even if it is false, and he doesnt exist - i will still find him .




    i am that sad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    im going to give my guy a full week in the gym, eat like beejaysus, get him a big wooly jumper and roam around the forest at night.......

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    fakes.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 95 ✭✭L!aM


    I agree, the first shot, I've seen proof of it being fake.

    But, maybe, do you think they've made him too rare? As in, there's only a 1 in a million chance you'll find him even if you search for ages?

    The only thing I can think of is that Rockstar have come up with a particular method to find him, which until he is found, they won't release.. I'd prefer the second option as I really do want to see him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    Who thought people (myself included, although I will be playing SA for the first time today) could get so obsessed with a video game?!

    Rockstar = Geniuses. (Geniie?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    You guys should check this out --->Easter eggs in San Andreas


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Assuming the 1st pic is real it would be easy to script in a simple piece of code to allow the player to see him at a certain distance , but if i had of got the car up i would have ran him over , stupid sheer rock face :/

    here we are, hot off the presses. first video of bigfoot.

    http://www.rayraynetwork.com/thingonhill.wmv

    i know its far away, i know its not clear but it can't be a person. it's far too big and you can't see character's legs moving from that far away.

    don't know why the guy didnt run towaards it but i want to believe!!!! :)

    heard theres an 'Area 69' place you can break into too and see UFOs up close.

    i wish i was unemployed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    just fresh off another 4 hour hunt.........
    didnt find the bigman but im still looking
    to be honest i was looking around back o beyond it was dark and thunder and lightning
    and jesus i was scared :eek:
    i found some more weird sh*t though
    a place up in the desert where the ground just burst into flames by itself and kept burning.
    another thing in back o beyond where bigfoot supposedly lives i keep finding loads of smashed up cars..... whats all that about?
    the camera is the best thing to bring with you its got a hell of a zoom on it, really comes in handy. i also swam out to sea for about an hour didnt find anything bar a few dolphins and jellyfish, nothing exciting there but ive been using the jetpack alot too since i found out how to spawn a jetpack i always have one - pretty handy :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights


    Did anyone hear of anything like this in Vice city? While i was playing i fell in the water from a boat a shark came and ate me? Now i was kinda drunk at the time and everyone ive told said im making it up but i swear to god that it happened, this bigfoot has made me stop doubting myself, anyone else heard/seen this?

    Sean


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    yeah there was sharks in vice city.....
    strange that i havent seen any in SA....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh

    you dont need a flash or curtains pulled. just make sure the shutter speed is set slower that 1/25 of a second.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭jonnybadd


    Their are ghost cars, or ghost boats as i have also seen.

    The most interesting thing i think is the roumered spotting or leatherface....complete with chainsaw, seen plenty of pics and a video, some looked real fake, some looked good.......The search continues


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    some links to this handbag face character?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 95 ✭✭L!aM


    Basically, any pic with bigfoot in the corner where it's dark is bs, there shouldnt be any reason why you cant take a close-up pic unless ofc he's far away and moves out of shot
