"Lots and Lots of GTA San Andreas Info"

I know, another GTA Topic but I can assure you that you wont be angry after you see this : [URL]http://ps2.ign.com/articles/527/527358p1.html[/URL]

Read all 5 pages of it.

Great isn't it, but I haven't got a PS2 so I cant get it until it comes out on the Xbox.

But still, Im still looking forward to seeing what features it has etc.

Enjoy!

I sort of like all these little ideas that are being thrown about, but as you say Tilt, I'm also aware of the big problems that haunted the previous games, especially the draw distance. It wasn't as noticable in GTA3 because the buildings were so close together, but there was horrendous pop-up in Vice City, and it was more noticable due to the city being much 'flatter'.

Also, there's going to be a huge countryside seperating all these cities and to me that's a little pointless, after you remove the countryside, deserts and airports, the cities really aren't as big as Rockstar make out.

BLEEEEEEEEAAAAAWWWWWWWW!

Watch out Johnson, I can't stop!

BOOOOWWWWWMMMM!!

Ooops, ah well. I'll shoot/crash into this police car instead!

Hopefully there'll be more variety in the outfits you wan wear. Instead of just walking into a large icon and changing automatically, I'd like to be able to choose what ya wear, not in a gay like the sims though.

Would have been nice really to be able to design your character at the begining instead of having to play as a set person.

I hope to god though that while adding all these extra features, Rockstar haven't totally ignored the main problem with previous GTA games, the draw distance. I want to actually have something to snipe at when I'm on top of buildings instead of having a stupidly small range. Oh and I hope also that cops aren't as stupid as they were before, the way they drive their cars into car parks if you're standing on top of them and blow themselves up was really poor.

Hey, I think it would be pretty funny getting the guy as fat as possible. Maybe even to the point where the walls would have to be torn down to get him out the house. It would also be pretty funny if the tyres burst when he got into a car, due to his weight. But hey, maybe you'll be able to unlock the atkins diet if you finish the game.

I dont like the thought of having to eat and becoming like lisa riley

Apparently you can also strafe now, so you can shoot on the run.

There's lots of little features in it - Rockstar have to implement them so they don't pi*s you off or feel tacked on.

I read in Gamesmaster today that you have to go to the barbers and get haircuts, and if your hair grows too messy the peds make fun of you. There seems to be a lot of very wacky ideas attached to this game, they could either be brilliant, or they could waste the game completely. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The RPG style stats system sounds pretty cool, hope it isn't a pain in the ass though.

Would like to see some decent day and night system. Would make more sense if the days lasted longer and shops and things only stayed open at certain times, garbage collectors appeared in the morning, more hookers appear on street corners in the evenings and other things like that.

Tasty tasty tasty :)

Is that release date for the US or is there gonna be a US / Europe release at the same time ?
