Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...INFO

So many magazine scans I think I'm going crazy

Even more info.

- The twelve small towns often consist of only two junctions and a few buildings, featuring a liquor store, bakery, pottery and much more.
- When flying, the radar map changes into an attitude instrument (artificial horizon), so orientation is easier.
- Realistic truck trailer physics.
- You can train your muscles to become stronger.

SWEET!!!

I've uncovered more info for those of you eagerly awaiting the release of San Andreas.

Let the salivating commence!

-- Carl can attack enemies from behind, after hiding and sneaking through the shadows.
-- Carl's ability to swim and the length of time he can stay underwater for depends on his fitness and how often he practices swimming.
-- Members of The Orange Grove Families wear green clothes.
-- The Ballas gang members wear purple clothes.
-- Models will include up to 50% more polygons than Vice City.
-- Bicycles will move forward when the X button is held down, but tapping it will make the player travel faster.
-- Carl can roll to the side during combat on the press of a button.
-- Players can now pivot the camera around the car, in order to gain a better view.
-- A choice of haircuts are available, from shaven/bald heads to 'Afro' style cuts.
-- Not only can players choose new hairstyles, but choices of beards and other facial hair will be at their disposal.

Groovy... Sounds kind of like a chia-pet.

New Screens

[Dylflon]

New information:
-- Three franchise restaurants are to be included: Burger Shot, Well Stacked Pizza and Cluckin Bell, a Mr. Whoopee ice cream stand, as well as the Sprunk Soda brand beverage which was in Vice City.

-- A message will pop up onscreen when Carl becomes hungry. Players who ignore this message will see CJ's bodyfat reduce, with the effect of his clothes no longer fitting properly. Skininess won't just have a visual effect either, a thin Carl will be weak, unable to throw powerful punches, lift heavy boxes and will lack stamina, meaning cycling, running and swimming become difficult.

-- Conversely, eating too much will see Carl become fat, with similar effects of loss of stamina, poor fighting abilities (due to slow response times AND CJ becoming a larger object to hit). Interestingly, the walking animation will change, to a penguin style 'waddle' due to CJ's inability to put his hands by his sides while in this state.
