if Sony was has big plans for the HDD and GTASA requires it, they'd be really smart if they get Rockstar to bundle the game with the PS2 HDD for an extra $30 or so.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Each passing day I become more and more excited about this game.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

if you think about it, the ps2 doesn't have enough ram to do that big of city, remember how long it takes to load the GTA games? long time... imaginging having to load each time you left one city... i'm betting they'll use the harddrive. that way it can load on the fly ala halo. but they will have to do something about the price of those things. (could it also imply online play?)

Crash, I'm intrigued by your powers of deduction and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

I read the rumors at a site for this...and they filled my head with speculation and whatnot.

But i also read( not a rumor) that breaking and entering wont be as lame as robbing stores in VC, because it says breaking and entering requires "Skill and planning" which hopefully means you can ransack it.

I also read that San Andreas will be a direct sequal to GTA3, but i find this strange. Isnt SA supposed to be in the early 90's....while GTA3 was late 90's. So how can SA be a sequal?

And the idea of multi-lay would 100% (IMO) have to have a hard drive or two. Think about it, if you stray too far from eachother, and one of you goes into an are that needs to be loaded, then everything stops for both of you. Uber annoyng.

And it will probably require a HD, because they are a company, and companies like money, so they will do what htey can to make more of it. And they have the right formula too. Make 1 awesome game. Hype up awesome game. Make awesome game need a HD. seemed to work, because i know i'll buy i HD if it needs one, but nly if it isnt too expensive.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

maybe have multiplayer be real time... such as if one player plays more than the other, it'll effect the stream of events the other player goes through.

say you could be playing with the other player at the same time, and then when he's sleeping at his apartment you could be playing and getting ahead, or maybe just having fun, and it'll show on the other player's stats, that would def need the HDD to store both player's individual happenings.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

This game sounds great to me, and I have an HDD so no problems if it requires it or not. If this game does require it, though, I think they should put some type of online features in it because it's impossible to install a HDD on your Ps2 without a Modem.

This game and Halo 2 should be enough to rip me off of FFXI.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

So you have to by a modem AND a HDD?.....lame..

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Yep, the modem connects to the back of the Ps2, and the HDD connects to the "back" of the Modem. With that said, this game better have some damn good online features if it's going to require the HDD.

Oh my god. This game sounds an looks awesome. I cannot wait till it comes out. HEHEHEEH im gunna make my guy the fattest thing uve ever seen.. :D

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Hard drive, No prob. if the rumors are true about Gran Turismo 4 then i'll already be getting a Hard drive for that. :) (rumors are that GT4 will use a hard drive and let you download new courses and cars from the internet)

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

If the new PS2's come with a HD, then i will have one by Friday *crosses fingers*....but if they dont...i must wait until Friday....dam long wait.... :p

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Images look great.

Dunno about eating? We'll wait and c. I'm expecting big things from this one.....hopefully it won't disappoint me like Vice City.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Are you all ready for new screens? Fifteen of them! They're all scanned from a magazine though.



You can get different haircuts!

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Awesome! The haircuts seem kind of cool, lol. I think I'll defintely have to rent this game first to see how it is before I make a purchase. I would not want to buy the game and the HD and end up not liking it, lol.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

where was it confirmed that it needed a HDD?

screens look great, thanks D-man

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Just assuming cuz of the game's vastness.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Woah, I didn't know Eazy E was in the game! :cool:

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

LOL! :rofl:

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Nice acebot....nice, lol.

Yeah, no confirmation has been made as to if you need an HDD or not, its all assumption. You might not need one, because the PS2 is a very powerful machine indeed.

But im getting it the day it comes out, because i already have laid a claim if you will, and pre-ordered a copy fro EB. But sometimes they chooch you out, and say you never were on the list...lowsy conglomerates.

But regardless, i will be buying it no matter how crappy or good the game is supposed, or may be, and regardless of its possible HDD supported gameplay.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

That's why you keep the pre-order receipt becuase thats your secondary proof that you did make a pre-order. If you lose it and they say you weren't on the list, then tough luck. Learn from mistakes:p

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

My EB guys have been great so far. I've preordered stuff up to like 8 months in advance, and never kept the receipts... and they've never screwed me over.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

I've only been screwed over once, where they sold my copy to the guy right f****** in front of me. i went up and said:

" I pre-ordered a copy of Vice City"

"I'm sorry, were out"

"What?...i pre-ordered it though, you have to have more in stock"

"Nope, we sold the last one to that guy" *points in direction*

"Did he pre-order it too?"

"no"

"you f****** a******"

And that so far has been my experience with pre-ordering games from EB. I honestly think nazi's run the place.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

A nice SA IGN article. Lots of information.

Article

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

They are taunting my soul by not telling me if it needs the Hard drive.....

regardless, i say this will be the best game of its type ever...EEEEVER!!!!!

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Which system will you guy's be getting it for?

I know for sure that if the PS2 version needs a hardrive I'll wait for the Xbox version. It will probably have custom soundtracks too so I guess I'll be waiting a few months for my game.

Anyone going to get the PC version?

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

There won't be an Xbox version is what I read in my Official Playstation magaine.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

Vice City and GTA3 were also not going to be released on the xbox/pc.

It's exclusive until they decide enough time has elapsed for a port.

edit: and as I said previously, I will wait for the PC version. The PC version of Vice City didn't take long to be released.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

In the IGN article you posted, it says that the PC and Xbox version will arrive after the PS2 version in 2005.

It would be a shame if it didn't come to the xbox :(

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

I doubt it will come for the XBOX, considering its slightly exclusive.

With that said, i will be buying it for the PS2.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

It obviously will come out on the Xbox... it will just take a year or 2.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
 

best bet by far is PC....better visual quality (assuming your computer can run it), plus custom music, I'm waiting for PC (both becuase i like PC more, and the fact htat err...i don't have a PS2 :p), although i'm guessing the PC release will be about 3 months later

Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO
