I found it on Kotaku.

Epsilon Program was a Scientology spoof that was mentioned a few times in San Andreas

And incase anyone thinks its a wild coincidence, here's the details of who owns that domain name:

Hello,

I love the site and I'm also very interested in getting more information about epsilon as I could see myself as a member.

Any additional info would be great

Kind regards

I'm not holding my breath, I'd be shocked if I get a reply. I'll post the reply if I get anything back

The domain name was registered in 2004. Has the website been like that for that long or have they just put it up? Any way to check with google cache or something?

Apparently the site has been operational since the 7th of June, 2004. That's strange, I've scavenged the Internet for anything directly San Andreas related since it was released and I've never seen this before... Interesting, it's not anything GTA V related, I'm sure, but a bit of undiscovered fun from the San Andreas era, ahhh the memories!

Edit: Opinicus got there first.

The twitter site only has 3 tweets and the first was on the 25th of July. So I'm sure they have revamped it.

Well the email bounced back. So it's dead. But on a brighter note, there has been another cryptic tweet by epsilon.

That epsilon site has been around a while.

We are aware it been around a while but the fact that R have updated it and included a tweeter a/c is rather interesting

Back Prince · 06-08-2012 09:56PM

that epsilon program twitter feed is after tweeting to @THmilj and he is tweeting to a @_AlbertDeSilva_ who is answer questions about Los Santos and himself with loads of twitter accounts with little followers and following little people so either, Rockstar are giving out information without people knowing like an easter egg or all them twitter accounts are fake!!

Two tweets there asking when was the best time to visit Los Santos and that Albert replied with Spring 2013, make of that what you will

Wasn't Albert Da Silva a rumoured name for the main character in V?

Back Prince · 06-08-2012 10:01PM

Yeah he was has been talking to a load of past GTA characters on twitter either some people have no life or rockstar are giving out information

Just went through all his tweets this seriously looks like the real deal created about 8 hours ago, talks about loads of stuff in San Andreas, what you can do what not, even a tweet about rockstar using this as a new way of marketing and another tweet saying build it and they will come. I honestly think this is a real account of rockstars its so so so in depth. Anyway make yessir own mind up.

CMpunked · 07-08-2012 02:01AM

That accounts been deleted now.

Carroller · 07-08-2012 02:10AM

See, that's why rockstar are waiting all this time, so clever people can come up with clever parodies to the trailer.

*clutches tighter at straws*

little big planet 2 · 18-08-2012 03:02PM

is it known if you can drive trains again and is there anything known about multiplayer

wnolan1992 · 18-08-2012 03:20PM

Could we get the thread title changed to have the date when the new screens were announced in it? I keep hoping that there's two more new ones. :pac:

I'd rather leave it as it is. If I start fiddling with it now some might see it and (even though it's an old date) they might just glance and see its a different title than before.

I can't see us being too far away from something new so hold tight.

Cool. Just getting restless waiting...

Thought we'd have heard something this week.

Here's the clip for anyone wondering; Jump to 1.50ish

R* are confirmed as an exhibitor.

Linky to page a-here

I know its a c/o under take two, but the fact that they are named means there must be news from them and if its not going to be an announcement for bully 2 (which i would love also) then it can only be..

15 of august, mark your calendar, lads!

Did anything end up happening on this date?

I presume not but were Rockstar there talking about another game or anything?
