Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

new imformation from Game Informer Mag

Inside were some new information about how the gang territories and turf wars work in San Andreas.
Gang wars:

* Gang presence in an area colours that part of the map in the gang's respective colour.
* To start a gang war you need to start a rukus (e.g shooting at others gangs), this will make the map flash red and starting the fight.
* The opposing gang will attack in waves and once all have been defeated the area is yours and therefore is coloured into the colours of the OGF (green).
* Gangs will try to regain their turf by attacking at random intervals, you must defend your turf against waves of these attackers.

Recruiting:

* Approach a ped in OGF colours and press R1, the process will begin.
* Using the D-pad you choose whether to recruit him, if you recieve a gang symbol he is now yours to lead.
* To control these new found recruits you use the D-pad to order them to attack, defend or follow you.

I know what you mean, it's pretty equal for me TBH.

In 3 weeks you'll have a dilemma, which one do you play???

By that time most of your editing will be done on Pro so you'll be wanting to play that.......

But then you'll be purchasing GTA!

I might have to get myself sacked so as I can play them both! Come to work the Thursday before PES4, take off all my clothes and sit under my desk complaining about the elves.

That should at least get me some time off!!!

Gameplay are well known (especially in the Championship Manager\Football Manager community) for delivering games up to 2 days before they're supposed to be delivered. If you want it quickly, I'd highly recommend Gameplay (with, if you can afford if, the quickest delivery method too).

There are wild rumours circulating at the mo (Even CVG are startin to believe them) that some sort of Multi-player action could be in the offing as well now!!!!

Co-Op..................surely not?!?!?
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

Co-op, Mmm interesting. Or maybe some sort of manhunt MP game where you have to seek each other out like a deathmatch. Or maybe you can do a cops a robbers style MP game??! Either way it's a promising addition.
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

MP, that would be the ultimate, hopefully during the actual game as opposed to a kind of add-on . . . .
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

I am semenating with excitement. Give me this game now... NOW NOW NOW
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

Some stuff from the radio stations is now on the Official GTA site. There is no Chorley FM though ;)
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

More great news, this on the Radio Stations.......be prepared to be shocked!!! From IGN:

Now we should tell you right off the bat, that San Andreas looks to expand on the strong production values of 2002's Vice City by quite a considerable margin. Boasting more than three times as many tracks as Grand Theft Auto III (let me say that again: three times as many tracks as GTA3), San Andreas features 11 fully-functional radio stations with 20 completely different DJs. The song list alone is pretty enormous with more licensed music in it than in any other action videogame in history. Ranging in styles from Rap to Rock, Country to House, and Reggae to Rock, San Andreas should have a little something for everyone -- including the always-popular talk radio programming.

Lead by Audio Designer Allan Walker and Music Producer Craig Connor, the radio aspects of the game have been given a complete technical overhaul. Instead of looping the sounds heard on each station, for instance, the entire setup is dynamic -- which allows each DJ to react to events in the game in real time. What this means is, that each and every song will be given a different introduction based on who the DJ is, as well as being prefaced with comments on CJ's progress through the game. Additionally, players can expect to hear live weather bulletins, deadly accurate news updates, music blocks, custom track lead-ins and outs, and call-ins from people all over the state.


The commercials have been given a greater emphasis as well, with three times the amount found in Grand Theft Auto III. And since the whole state of San Andreas is populated with real brand names that CJ can purchase, commercials for them will be aired on a regular basis. Helmut Schein, Cluckin' Bell, and Ammu-Nation are but a few of these companies that have already paid for a considerable amount of airtime.

Perhaps the coolest aspect of radio stations, though, is the fact that each and every vehicle will play songs differently -- since every vehicle has different speakers inside them. As an example, normal cars have a more balanced sound playback while lowriders offer a huge amount of bass and low-end audio. Players will also have access to a new optional feature that allows them to adjust the sound level of their ride.

Outside of the game, fans will once again have the opportunity to purchase the soundtrack independently (Vice City did the same two years back). But to make this new soundtrack even better than the last, Rockstar has reached an agreement with Interscope Records to publish two different ways to get your hands on the music. The first is the regular edition double album that offers up key tracks for each radio station. But the second and more attractive way to get the music is via the giant box set -- an enormous package that contains eight overloaded CDs. Both versions of the soundtrack are expected to hit shelves on November 23.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

Thanks to GTASanAndreas.net for bringing this to everyones attention. Spong, a relatively small gaming site were lucky enough to visit Rockstar's headquarters in the last few days and view a preview of the game. As you'd expect they asked about multiplayer in San Andreas, but were told there is no multiplayer. What they did find out is that eventually you will unlock the ability to do some co-operative missions with a character who will be controlled by a second player. There's not too much information on this, although it could be* a brand new huge feature made public just days before the game is released.



* From reading their article, it really doesn't make too much sense as to how they know all of this, but it could very well be true. Make your own decisions until we have official confirmation.



QUOTE (SPOnG.com)

There will, however, be a dedicated co-operative mode for two players. During the game, a scene ensues when the player rescues a girl from a burning building. After this act of gallantry, she becomes your in-game girlfriend and also, a playable second character. Most of the co-op action takes place inside vehicles, with player one driving and player 2 shooting. When the co-op mode is opened, icons will display the missions available to two player on the game's map.



What's more, a plethora of two-player minigames will be included in San Andreas. Unfortunately SPOnG has no specific details regarding these right now, though we can confirm that various parlour games will be included.

I didnt have your info!

Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

I bet this is going to be some lame arsed attempt at 'making the game MP' though . . . . I want to see true MP, where u can either co-op on the entire game or maybe run rival gangs, that would be true greatness ;)
 
Re: Official GTA: San Andreas Discussion Thread

if thats a fake image, then thats a amazingly good fake :D (i mean, its done on the right paper and everything, and looks so authentic)
