GTA San Andreas official
Take 2 break the silence
Rockstar clearly felt they had teased us all enough up until this point, with the Take 2 division finally unveiling the next eagerly-awaited instalment in the big-selling Grand Theft Auto series in the shape of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, today. San Andreas (based loosely on San Francisco), will naturally be created by Rockstar North - with the following release dates planned: North America on October 19th and Europe on October 22nd, 2004. We can hardly wait. Oh, and in case you didn't realise, the game is a PS2 exclusive.
"In the past couple of years, we have put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to ensure we do everything possible to exceed people's expectations with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," enthused Rockstar President Sam Houser. "Even though we still have eight months to go, we are starting to become very proud of what we have achieved and we can't wait to get the game into players' hands."
Leslie Benzies of Rockstar North also added: "We are extremely humbled by the success of the Grand Theft Auto series and it has made us push ourselves further than ever to create a title in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that will hopefully redefine the Grand Theft Auto series and revolutionize open-ended gameplay and video game production values."
The series has sold in excess of thirty-million copies to-date, and this sequel is sure to be among the most anticipated releases ever. Naturally, we'll bring you as much as we can on this massive game, just as soon as we can get our greedy paws on it.

Comments
hopefully itll be on pc too
You see my name? thats all u need to know.
I wonder if it will have any gangs, and whether or not you will be delivering flowers to them rather then death. can't go upsetting anyone know, so maybe we can expect to see the invention of a whole raft of ficticous countries.
GTA: San Andreas HAS to come to the PC format!
you suck!
I rather fancy seeing some screenshots of this - could be interesting. Sadly, I'm guessing we'll have to wait at least until E3 :(
i have gta 3 and vc on xbox, people with no ps2 have to wait till fall 2005 to get it on xbox
They should of made GTA Sin City. Although i hope this ones cool.
wens it cumin 2 the shops cause i aint seen it yet
it would be awsome if on st. andreas you could make money off hookers like i do;-)
pimpin why don't you suck on a mint since you pretty much suck all the time!
when this game coming pc
Grand theft auto San andreas is set to be reallesed in the uk exactly in october 2004
GTA:SanAndreas HAS to come out for X-Box the grapix are better.
GTA: San Andreas cannot be anything else, but good. Or if I can say, spectacularrrrrr... I have 3 and VC for ps2, and I´m dig`n those...
this best have two player or someone's gonna die
GTA:SanAndreas HAS to come out for X-Box the grapix are better hmmmmmmmmmm 2 things about that statment 1. PC graphics a by far more superiour 2. ANY time u think X-box is good play return to castle wolfenstien NOW i aint ragin out the game, no on my pc i loved it 1 of the very few offline games i liked but the graphics on x-box pissed me off soo much i took bak the console (brick) to the video store told them the thing didnt work on my tv got my money back and hired out some PS2 games and lets not forget the sales STATISTICS x-brick is still behind thats for a reason X-brick sux LONG LIVE PS2 AND PC (AND PS3 IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE)
:-D
should of made it las vegas
i think gta sucks major undies man.. its like bad man d00d its l33t but i dunnno it really sux big ballz man i tested it and like it sucked man
It going to be very awesome cant wait for it to come out!!!
man i cant wait till it comes out !
words fail me when thinking about the type of people forums attract:
"you suck"
"gta3 sucks ball"
people are allowed to have their opinions but these sort of statements don't do anything.
it will be avaliable to PC ...?
the last 4 were good number 5 should be even better
Wizard ! I simply loved the razmataz of the previous GTA games, did you know I stole an automobile ! I don't think thats allowed old chap WHAT ! Tip of the dairy old pineapple.
i would be badass if the new gta had a multi player option.
Where Is that city of San Andreas????
Who says 50cent will be doing contemporary rap? I can see him as a 70s fly-boy :D Besides,San Andreas is based on San Francisco, and what other period better evokes the hilly car chases of San Francisco than the 70s? And for those who say the 70s have nothing; there's a whole stack of info for Rockstar to delve into, if they have chosen the 70s. The music can be pretty catchy and they have the influences of Starsky and Hutch, ALL the 70s crime movies, and even games like Driver to use as inspiration.
What is the next Grand Theft Auto going to be about and is it going to be a 2 player game,and can 2 player
work together on the some T.V. set if it is.
I hope it'll be for xbox
i think there you should be able to brake in to peoples houses and stell there stuff and be able to go to prison and have to brake out of jail and get pold over for speddin no seet belt and other stuff

Hi I am Mr. None, I am an employee of Rockstar Games and a part of the production team. I am here to present some “pre production plans” for Grand Theft Auto 4 because I know some of you wants some information. Take 2 doesn’t want get their info to be released earlier until mid 2003, which is around September but I will only give you only the pre production plans that we have been debating and talking since November 2002. Some of it may be used or not be used at all. Rockstar North people has already collected a lot of pictures and information of San Francisco, California which will be the basis of the game. I created this account to shroud my real identity because I have a contract signed with Take 2 Interactive on not releasing any info, pre production or not to the public until we are told to do so.
Here are the following GTA4 pre production plans

Others
-The game will be the last one uses the game engine used both in GTA3 and: Vice City
-Again, there will be no swimming because of accessibility issues
-10% of the missions will be taken place indoors
-We will cut the radio stations length from 8 to 9 hours into 5-6 hours
-Licensed music for the radio stations (rock, hip hop, pop, country, techno, talk show, soul)
-Assets will return. Chris needs money and influence to take out Sandro Restifa
-The respect system of GTA2 will return but only effective with limited gangs (around 4) and not with the main gangs.
-The main story on how Chris Dela Questia became a heartless criminal in GTA3, his relations with Sandro Restifa, on how he was involved with Catalina in GTA3.
-There will be no online features but still under debate.
-There will be “drunk level” which was experimented and tested in “Boomshine Saigon” mission in Vice City. There will be alcoholic drinks available for purchase and consumption.
sounds okay....these guys have a winning formula but if its on the old engine its just more of the same. I'm not bothered that's it not on Xbox but these new games such as FarCry and Half Life3 on pc are so superior graphically, I don't think it will be as big as everyone thinks. Time will tell..
I had a wet dream about GTA san andreas the other night. I wonder GTA 6 or even 7 would be like on the PS3, absolute magic, they will be a dream to play.
The Getaway 3 on the PS3 anyone?
GTA 10 set in Tokyo anyone?
When is GTA 34,567 coming out? Will anyone be alive to play it?
I want GTA san andreas, and i want it NOW, otherwise i will get very anrgy and hurt people like Tommy V from Vice City
I don’t know why people are sweating over which formats its too be released on. X-Box and PS2 will have the first realises.
A few months latter the PC version will come out. And don't cry over having to wait a bit longer for the PC, as Rockstar always have done great jobs with porting over from the console to the PC. Anyway better graphics, better playability, and MP3 player are virtues of owning a PC over a console.
I just hope Lazlow is back, for me he makes GTA what it is. And I doubt they will cut down on the radio stations.
Just one thing though. GTA: Vice City will be tough to beat, the very production values, playability, enjoyment were all neat prefect in that game and GTA San Andreas has its work cut out just too even match it.
I'v got gta San Andread coz my dad ownes R* (rock star)
tell me all the juicy details H8CK3R, what is it like to play? did you have to pay for it or did you get it for free cuz your dad owns R*, if you got it for free, can you ask your dad to send me a copy plz?
true crime 2
They should wait untill the PS3 comes out and then bring out GTA san andreas on the PS3 instead.
GTA san andreas has alot to live up to, it has to beat GTA vice city, and that is gonna be hard to beat.
i de best {or better i de GOD} of GTA
i completed vc in 4hours and 56mins
i teld ya i da GOD
GTA San andreas must to com on the pc!

I have played a demo of this game, it seems to be very good, i liked playing as BORGE as i could use the laser to shoot all the sub bosses from a distance.
Does anyone know if it is gonna be made for the PS3?

is san andreas on x box 2
Practicly everyone wants to know whats gona be new but we'll hav to wait :-(. Even worse :-( :-( THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAV A PS2(Shame on you!!!)Cause if you hav a gamcube, xbox etc you will get it after the PS2 get's it. I hav a PS2 but i still don't think it's fair that PS2 get's it first, it would be better off if all consoles had it at the same time! But we'll all hav to wait till october 2004 to find out whats new :-(.
