Rockstar's forthcoming money-spinner GTA: San Andreas will definitely not feature play in any form, creative director told magazine Power Unlimited, stating that "we would have to sacrifice too much for it."

"We have a lot of script writers working on GTA, and they use so many scenarios to build the story - it's impossible to do that in an online game, that problem has not been solved," Houser added by way of explanation. Of course, whilst only the version of the game was referenced in this discussion (it being the only rendition of the title confirmed thus far), it's a fair bet that neither the or versions of the game will feature online support either - given the entirely ported nature of past games and the director's reasoning.

Houser did hint that online play might be something would consider in the future: "We are thinking about it," he conceded, "but it's simply better to do the things we want to see in GTA in a single-player game. I'm not saying that online games aren't fun, but I do believe that online games are not yet ready for the immersive gameplay that GTA has to offer." We'll bring you everything there is on San Andreas as and when we get it.

    GTA would have to be SO SMALL if it were online. Keep it offline and the maps big......Lets hope Rockstar dont pull it due to bad publicity with the manhunt thingy.....Dont think they will cos they seem to have balls.....

    I think it is a good idea to put san andrea online for playstation 2 or 3 because it would be fun and lots of people would pay alot to play it .I know i would.So peace take this thought into consideration.
