Thanks for posting those links! And the screenshot..

[street454]

Finally! I have been looking at Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas site almost every day then I got tired of it so I stopped looking. Cause they said info for the PC and Xbox version was coming soon on December 19th. Anyways, high resolution screens for the Xbox!! Can't wait for the videos!

Thanks for the news d8cam19 for telling us about the IGN preview (which was posted on your site).

IGN's Exclusive Screenshots:
GTA: San Andreas for Xbox Screen #1
GTA: San Andreas for Xbox Screen #2


I wonder if Gamespot will have a preview of the game soon, too.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The funny thing about the PC site of San Andreas is that it has the "PC CD-ROM" logo at the bottom... I thought it was going to be a (confirmed) DVD-ROM only release...

[murph_fan51]

Heck those XBOX screens look great!!

Its going to be CD-ROM in some countries, but in Europe its DVD only.

Edit by Administrator: Would like to point out that this person is making an assumption and the statement that the game will be available on CD is not based on any fact whatsoever. Rockstar has announced that the game will be shipping solely on DVD.

This is from the Info -> Features section of the site.

QUOTE

Player Modifications supprt, giving PC gamers the opportunity to create their own world within San Andreas.

Does this mean they are actually putting in support for mods (like Half-Life) and/or are releasing tools with the game to create modifications? o_o


(Edit: And why do the forums keep screwing up my quote?)

Thanks for the message Jordan, dont you have it how Rockstar always updates late in the evening when you are watching a movie or just relaxing..

Anyway, site is updated, news at: Official Site Expanded, PC and Xbox Screens Revealed.

The fansite exclusive PC screenshot looks really nice, and I was very pleased to see CARS IN THE DISTANCE! on that Xbox screenshot.

[blue_steel]

Awesome , i can't wait, but i guess i have to ...CRAP!!!

[Killer_Waffle]

check the rockstar website for the full screen images, such lovely detail & sharpness in those pics...
it's looking very very very good
mucho 's for bringing it to our attention

creating our own world in san andreas? are they adding a sandbox like editor like farcry had?
or is just easier support for car mods & skins? very curious statement

[Cran.]

I know it's DVD here, because when I was going to pre-order it, the guy asked me if I had a DVD Drive, which I do. Damn, those screenshots have blown me away. They said there is going to be Player Mod Support, so maybe a tool which allows you to replace cars and stuff, like GTA Mod Installer.

Edit: Woh, Replays in teh Xbox version!

[Killer_Waffle]

now the wait has begun for the first pc/xbox video to appear on the rockstar site...
and did anyone notice the drawing distance on the 2nd pic on the site? with lv in view i believe,
you can see the stars sidewalk pattern from pretty far away ....
1st pic in the thread here for the xbox, with the plane, is also giving us a quite far view...
can't wait for june!

[HinGTA]

Looks very nice. I like the in-car shot especially. Nice lighting and as Digi said, cars in the distance!!

[illspirit]

I'm almost 99.999999% certain they won't be giving us any real mod tools. By "support", they most likely mean that they've gone through and made many things easier to mod, which they have. They've listened to many of our collective complaints, and stuck more things into text files (as opposed to hardcoding them in the exe), and simplified other stuff. For the most part, anything in the game can be edited with Notepad except for the models, textures, and mission scripts. Models and textures are a proprietary third-party format (now owned by *gasp* EA), so it's unlikely we'll see any tools or docs for those. We already have user tools for them though, so it's hardly an issue. Mission script formats, on the other hand, are developed in house at R*^, but they probably won't feel compelled to give us those either since we've been cracking those for the last two games anyway.

Finally great PC screenshots!!!

What about the XBox in-car screenshot? can our men drive the car for us? it could be awesome sometimes for a drive-by shooting.

I think you'll find that its just a publicty shot since Rockstar have the power to take screenshots from whatever angle they want including inside cars like that. Having said that though its most probable that Stretchnutter will once again whip up a Cam Hack that allows that sort of camera angle in the PC version.

Anyway the ball is really rolling now, we can now see how much better SA will be with the higher freedom that Xbox and Pc offers.

[pyXL]

Woah...those are some nice shots. I especially love the Xbox areoplane one.

I can't wait for this.

[Skyline_man]

I'm guessing there will be atleast 2 weeks before they appear

Yeah, i hope they are higher resoluted than the PS2 Videos, 800x600 would be very cool

[GTAGuy]

Player modability support. Sounds very good indeed. Hopefully they've eased the burden of having to hack into numerous files of the game, finding opcodes and whatnot, to make the game do what we want it to do. And hopefully they've expanded the limits of the game (IP numbers, COLs, Dummies, etc..) to allow us more freedom to add new things to the game. Maybe we might even be able to ADD vehicles to the game instead of replacing existing ones. Or even add Vice and Liberty city into the game with SA, not that I'm getting to ahead of myself, but only if it would be possible. The prospect of being able to do all of this excites me greatly. It's only a matter of time before we find out if all of this is finally possible.
