Finally got a website sorted out:
http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/

This could turn out to be my official best ever game ever, ever.

Download the video for extra awesomeness.

How do I go about downloading the videos rather than just playing them in a window? I MUST HAVE MUST!!!

can't wait!

on a related note, what GTA theme would you like to see?
I thought a wild west style (grand theft horse?) would be good, stagecoach robberies, rampaging indians etc, but Rockstar have made 'red dead revolver' now

San Andreas is mid/early 90's right?

yeah, think Boyz n the hood

Yay

loved Vice city. Hope they get their skates on with the PC version though.

wooyay!
pre-order (http://play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=PS2&title=159960) yours now!!

I been reading about this alot recently. Things that I am most impressed with:

Improved animation: loads of gangs doing their rude-boy walks and secret handshakes in the street. Even people smoking suspicious looking substances.

New health system: Realistic in the sense that you have to exercise to stay fit. You can exercise by going to the gym and doing various stuff there. Or you can simply go for a bike ride/swim in the ocean. YES SWIM!! Also you gotta eat. If you don't eat enough you'll get skinny and end up loosing all your fights. If you eat too much you'll get a fat arse and people will make comments at you. And it will have loads of rammifications when you are legging it from the coppers, obviously.

Character customization: You can basically dress your character (his name is CJ) any way you want. Obviously the more you progress in the game the smarter you will look. Just go to the nearest clothes store and buy whatever you want. I think you can also go to the barbers and get whatever hairstyle. Tatoo's are available too but I think it depends on what gang you are involved with.

House robbery: Yes. You heard me right. You can go round various neighbourhoods and rob houses. It's mini game but it sounds like a whole lot of fun. I hope we get the stealth treatment. I hope there is a certain skill to robbing houses without waking up the occupants or disturbing the neighbours. And if your good at it you get to rob bigger houses with higher rewards. If they just throw in this mini-game purly for the novelty of robbing houses then I wont be impressed. They really gotta make this worthwhile.

Graphics: When vice city was released they said they had improved the draw distance in the game and they had twice as many people on screen as with GTA3. That was a streight up lie. With GTA:SA they are saying they have doubled the draw distance for the built up city areas and quadrupled it for the countryside areas of the game, all the while running at a steady 30fps. To be honest I will beleive it when I see it. There is also said to be twice as much detail in this game than before. They say the game is to be crammed onto a dual layer dvd disk so that is around 8-9gb if I'm not mistaken. If that is true then well done Rockstar North. At least its gonna leave the ps2 game backup crowd in a pickle.


So its seems tha Rockstar North are turning this game into a a sort of Sims-like life management thing. Sims is probably too extreme a comparison maybe, but I think the new changes are good ones. Your still getting the big storyline and plot twists only this time you've got even more control over you character. You can still do all the crazy shit that makes GTA so fun to play.

October 22nd. Cant wait.

To save the video right click on the link and click "save target as" thats it!

This game looks good....but do i get it for the ps2 or the pc..... i just don't know :(

Anyone know if it will be out on XBox?

Hopefully not for ages and ages and ages and ages.

:)

Neither pc nor xbox versions have been confirmed, i believe it's ps2 exclusive until january so i'd expect to see conversions early next year!

Awesome.

Somehtnig else I heard along these lines is that everyone leads a full and unique life... so you can actually STALK someone going about their normal daily business.

If thats true then that would be ubercool. Although there are a lot of rumours with every new GTA game. Take one look at this (http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?fn=browse_forum&f=6506) forum to see what kind of info is being thrown about.

I read on that forum that GTA:SA could have ragdoll physics. Which is fucking awsome. Most people don't notice the physics of games but you'll notice the difference in San Andreas. We are so used to the dying animations in GTA that its gonna be a huge diffference. Bailing off a motorcycle at full speed is gonna be a truly sick thing to watch. :D

I seriously just wet myself....damn I can't fuckin' wait
w00t!

I know i know i'm considering buying a ps2 specifically for this game.

Good man.

I can't wait at all!! Sooo excited. :D

According to the ign (http://ps2.ign.com/articles/534/534690p1.html) gaming site the state of San Andreas is roughly five times the size of Vice City.

That thought alone is quite staggering.

I got GTA3 and Vice City as a box set for christmas, and love GTA3 - getting stoned and just noodling around town is a great, cheap and harmless way of spending an evening, so much so that I haven't even gotten onto Vice City yet. I can see I'm going to have to ditch the job/social life/girlfriend if my house is to be in order by Oct 22nd :broken:

sounds good, as long as it doesn't mean you'll be taken to a load screen for every five steps you make.

I haven't even gotten onto Vice City yet.

I can't begin to explain how much of a treat you're in for. :)

I can't beleive you've not doing it the other way around, i've still not played GTA III.
I love my helicopters.

That's why I did it that way round - I knew I wouldn't touch GTA 3 if I played Vice City first.

And now I haven't touched Vice City...

Ah well, the best laid plans of mice and men...

Right now I hate every PS2 owner, wth a vengeance.

:yarr:

Don't worry, it'll come out on PC in about 3 months time with 10X better graphics and superior gameplay and AI.

XBOX owning friend - "Wow, Morrowind doesn't look like that on XBOX!"

Me - "I know, thats because its running at 1280x1024"

XBOX owning friend - "Whats that little '50' in the bottom right hand corner of the sceen?"

Me - "Frames per second"

XBOX owning friend - "God, consoles are shit aren't they"

Me - "Why yes, yes they are"

:D

I hate playing games on my PC (Laptop).
I have an XBOX

:yarr:

Ah well... ahem. Is that the time? I really should be going...

PC Gaming is great if you have loads of money to throw at it. I like my PS2. There are tons of titles available, loads of web support and most importantly:

I HAVE SAN ANDREAS ON PRE-ORDER!

Release date pushed back to the 29th of october.

Awesome! Maybe it might catch up to the xbox release date!

Also, my birthday is on the 30th... woop.

Interview with Sam Houser, Rockstar Games' president.
http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3134519

Only Three days left people!

A mate of a mate has already got a copy and says its amazing - you can do soooo much more than before.

Btw the copy he has is a illegal copy of an internet leak and he it bought down the barras for £5 (place with hundreds of stalls selling black market stuff in Glasgow).

You need to have you PS2 chipped aswell to play....I am not that bothered and I am just gonna order it from play.com for £32.99 delivered :)

Quality if you havn't allready ordered it get it from amazon its only £29.99

wooyay, roll on the 29th!

(hopefully my preordered copy from play.com will arrive on friday. I doubt it though)

ok, ordered from amazon (uk not .de, I got stuck with a german 16 rated vice city last time, no blood or rampages!)

Realistic in the sense that you have to exercise to stay fit. You can exercise by going to the gym and doing various stuff there. Or you can simply go for a bike ride/swim in the ocean. YES SWIM!!

And it will have loads of rammifications when you are legging it from the coppers, obviously.

Oh-oh. Anyone thinking "Oh no! Not The Sims!"

Oh-oh. Anyone thinking "Oh no! Not The Sims!"
But this game will have a definate goal at the end of it. With the sims its just get the best job and house you can get thats it. Plus you can't gun down people from a BMX in Sims.

ah ha! looks like play.com are gooder than good...

Ditto for me so I should have it for Friday. The problem is though I've already got a meal and evening out arranged fro Friday so I won't get a chance to play it then. Saturday I'm looking after my nephews and nieces so no playing of it then either what an utter pain in the arse.

I've already got it. A pirated version that is (I will of course be buying the proper version as I have done for every single game since the top-down gta game that was released in the 90's).

Been playing it for 3-4 days now. I have to say that this game is HYYYOOOOOOOOGE!!!!!! It is fucking big big BIG! And I havent even unlocked the second island yet. The first island is easily bigger than Vice City in its entirety. The city on the first island is about 1.5 times the size of Vice City and then you have the countryside parts that will make it even bigger.

There is so much improvements to list it gonna take me forever. Voice acting is awsome. So immersive and beleivable. Here are a list of the actors involved in this game.

* Samuel L. Jackson (Officer Frank Tenpenny)
* David Cross
* Ice T (Without a doubt, Maddog)
* Charlie Murphy (Without a doubt, Jizzy)
* James Woods
* Chris Penn
* Peter Fonda
* Axel Rose (Classic Rock DJ)
* Chuck D

What can I say. With a line up like that you know your in good hands as far as the acting is concerned.

The one thing I am disapointed in is that (at least in leaked pirated version that I have been playing) there is no Karma physics to speak of. We had been promised Karma Physics but it is not in the game. We still get the same or similar falling animatios when CJ bails from a bike. This is somewhat typical of Rockstar North. Making promises that they cannot keep. They made similar promises about Vice City and ended up dissapointing people. But its only a minor gripe really. After awhile I had forgotten about it.

The graphics have improved. Or rather the detail that is now shown on screen. Twice as much polygons at any one time and the draw distance has been improved also. Your still getting buildings that pop into view alot when your speeding down a street on a motor bike but not as often and garish as before. Again the promises regarding the graphical improvements have been exaggerated. There are impovements but just not to the extent which we were promised.

What I am most pleased with is the new ability to climb over walls and fences. It gives you a whole new sense of freedom in the game. Vice City was frustrating because you alway had to take a detour to get to certain areas: now you just leap over a wall.

The aiming system now works perfectly. In Vice City when you hit the L2 or R2 buttons to scroll through your targets it always fucked up on you, aiming at pedestrians not involved in the shoot-out or people you have already killed. This is all fixed and you will now have a seemless shooting experience. ;)

The BMX is easily my favourate new edition as far as getting around town is concerned. Bunnyhops, endo's, wheelies and all sorts of stunts can be acheived. Its just fun to ride about bunnyhoping over cars and walls pulling off all sorts of stunts. The environment offers up endless possibilities for goofing around on you bike.

Just down the road from CJ's house you will find a bar. In the Bar is a pool table. Standing next to the table is a bloke who is willing to bet up to £1000 per game. It's not a perfect pool experience but its still fun and I've already spent at least 2-3 hours in this bar alone.

Look, I'm not gonna spoil the fun on you guys and tell all. I'd be here forever if it did that. I've only truly revealed the tip of the iceburg here. There are plenty more surprises in store.

This game is polished. It is detailed and beutifully crafted. Its a pure gaming experience. It is easily the best game that has ever been released for the PS2 by a very wide margin. I say this because I reckon the first island is worth the price alone but I still have almost 3/4 of the game left to unlock and explore. There goes my Christmas.

I aint reading the above post just yet, 'cos as eagerly anticipated as this game is, I've managed to avoid hearing too much about it.
Bought mine from Curry's this morn' and it's been sitting beside me on my desk all day.

I think I have enough food for about a week. One question though: Blinds up or blinds down.

I just got back from Lakeside where I managed to snag a copy of GTA SA for 49 pence!

Traded in 4 very old crap games to bring the price down to £7.99 and I had a reward voucher for £7.50

just in case you wanna know the games I got rid of were
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Capcom Vs SNK 2
Dancing stage fever
Spiderman

In comparison not a bad trade to be honest, from what I hear GTA is supposed to be HUGE (Not fired it up yet, just savuoring the moment.)

Alright. Huge game. Huge possibilities. Bloody useless map tho. Anyone been in the leer jet yet?
The base jumping parachute is quite fun :D

Maps have never been much good on GTA

Like the way the cars go really fast on the freeway; and the way you can cause mass pile-ups if you stop on it! :D

One thing I dont like is the way you cant use the d-pad to steer. Gotta use the analogue stick, which I find annoying. :meh:

Do you know that you can set a marker on the map by moving the crosshairs over your destination on the map and pressing circle? A big red cross is then placed on the radar wherever you go.

Where's the BASE parachute? Tell me! Tell me!

I fucking love this game. I'm about three missions away from San Fierro and I don't think I've seen 10% of the city yet.

Ok, a couple of gripes:

1) Health, Muscle, Fat, Stamina etc...

These piss me off a bit. If I wanted to worry about my health, I'd just turn off the PS2 and look in the mirror, right?

2) The girlfriend thing

See above.

Minor, minor niggles though. Fucking unbelievable game. Can't wait to see Love Fist again.

still waiting for it to come.....

(i loved love fist, particularly the fact that one of them had an Argentina top on)

still waiting for it to come.....

(i loved love fist, particularly the fact that one of them had an Argentina top on)

I didn't notice that. Heh.

Can't you get it in the shops in Germany?

the german version is 16 rated (and in german) so no blood n guts and rampages

I'm quite pleased with the maps this time. More than vice city anyways, Vice was pretty flat where as gta 3 and san andreas have many areas where there is variety. I like how in san andreas you have different styles of maps in different areas. Los Santos (urban ghetto type area) is dirty and busy with loads of people and traffic whereas Los Fierro has wide clean streats and some hilly roads. Its obviously modeled on San Fransisco. Of course the huge golden gate bridge is a bit of a giveaway.

Cannot wait to unlock Las Venturas. (Las Vegas)

The countryside isn't as barren and lifeless as people thought it was going to be. There is still loads to do. Some awsome car races. Plenty of secrets to find also: there are rumours on the net about BigFoot sightings (not yet confirmed) And a beaten up ghost car that drives by itself. (confirmed: I seen it myself).

Base jumping parachute is in the tallest building on the first island. If you look at the two major junctions in then city, the tower is in the south western corner of the northern most junction. still inside the city

It takes a bit of looking for, and so does the door to get in. Its behind a post.

Vague as fog, sorry.

Minor, minor niggles though. Fucking unbelievable game. Can't wait to see Love Fist again.

They're back?! Don't remember seeing Kevin McKidd in the cast list....

A few of my favourite things:

Stealth Kills
Mountain bikes & BMX's
Playing pool
Robbing people's houses


I'm a bad man.

How HUGE is this game? Is it really possible to get 100%? There is soooooo much to complete; when you have finished a mission you may be required to talk to your girlfriend, defend your territory, build up some muscle so you can climb over walls faster, eat. There are odd job missions to complete, plus the numerous threads and contacts you have got to get through. This game will keep us happy till GTA4!

Found a cool plane - like a small boeing plane at the airport in los santos. Its pretty cool - if you can find the dodo in there then you can take these directions... simply follow the airport round till the very edge where the road goes underneath. Look around the sheds its on the outside of one of the sheds. It's cool! but i got shot out of the sky by police as i tried to land at las venturas airport - u automatically get 5 stars!!!

i was wrong, this isn't GTA5

woo, that rocketh!

shame you can't use the parachute again though..

theres apparently, also one at the top of Mt. Chiliad

update: after taking absolutely ages (on a mountain bike) to get up Mount Chiliad to try and find the other parachute I fell straight off the sheer edge and died. Frustrating doesnt come into it. You should ride off the edge on a bike to get far enough away from the mountain. Then jump off the bike put on the parachute and pull (at the last minute)

just got it today

reading the cast, 'Kent Paul' has a new friend, Maccer - Shaun Ryder!

why oh why oh why is it not out on xbox???
Anyone know when ior if its coming out for xbox?

Spring 2005 I think. Along with a pc version.

[picky bastard]

this is GTA5

[/picky bastard]

Are you sure on that?

GTA: London wasn't GTA3...

GTA: Vice City has never been touted as GTA4, nor has GTA: SA.

A whole new GTA game (with a different engine) would make sense to be called GTA4. Especially if it spawned a whole new range of "GTA: Some City Name" follow-ups... much like GTA1 has.

I think if i remember correctly didn't Rockstar say something like that when Vice city got released?

Something along the lines of THIS IS NOT GTA4

they were just considering VC and SA to be add ons

Can it get any better than two player? Oh the carnage, oh the wasted civilians, oh the fun \m/
For those who haven't seen it yet. there is a two player icon that is always available just near your first house in Ganton. Go out of the close, along the road until you go under a bridge. Turn sharp right, the icon is in the 'open' house, on the left at the end of the tarmac. Useful for practising those co-ordinated rampages.

Me loves the Leer jet, jet fighter dog fights :D

Oh.

Oh.

Get. In.

Has anyone met the insane Mexican chick yet? I'm developing a bit of a thing about her.

GTA: London wasn't GTA3...

Thats because it was a proper add-on for GTA1 - as you usually needed the disc for GTA1 to play it.

ah yeah, I remember that. Ok I was wrong then :|

If you mean Catalina, then yes. Her robbery missions (apart from the tanker one) are as annoying as arse.

Hah. Just wait until you gedt to the Badlands racing missions.

Actually, I found the burgalry missions to be fairly easy. Equip a shotgun or an SMG and drive like a motherfucker.

I found that 'Reuniting the families quite hard and those fucking lowrider races...

Lowriders handle like cows with supermarket trolley wheels attached and spin around if anyone so much as looks at the rear wing.

You're all bastards for having this game.

I need it.

I have an x-box.. hence my frustration....

The trick with racing lowriders is to go slowly round the corners and burn it like hell on the straights - and do not use nitrous. Unless you want to crash and burn.

thats what i did

Has anyone noticed the awsome cameo appearance from one of the previous GTA games yet? I'm not gonna give away the surprise but I was blown away to see this person back in a gta game even if it was only a silent and short appearence :)

Here it is in spoiler tags:
Fido, the main guy from GTA 3 appears as Catalina's love interest during the racing missions in the Badlands.

yup - i just did that bit earlier on. He must be a mute.

He doesn't say anything in GTA III though, does he?

No he doesn't say a thing in gta3, at all. I think he might re-appear again near the end of San Andreas. Some people have said that Catalina called him Claude. Sounds like he might come from France. It could be a clue for the next gta game. Set in Europe, maybe? Rockstar are always dropping hints on future games. e.g: San Andreas was rumoured to be in the works way back before Vice City was ever released.

I suspect that they used Vice City as an early (Theta?) release to finance the ongoing development effort on San Andreas. It was still a fucking good game though. Still is.

How about GTA - The Renaissance, set in sixteenth century Italy?

GTA Latin QUarter, where you vie for supremacy among miserable Existentialist Philosophers in Early 20th Century Paris on the Left Bank?

GTA GDR, where your ultimate goal is to steal a bulldozer and knock down a wall in Potsdam in the late eighties?

GTA Berlin, 1936, where...[Stop right there]

I've found a new weapon. :D

In the police station in Los Santos if you go into the cops shower room you will find a giant purple dildo. Fucking awsome. I went down to Santa Maria Beach and went on a killing spree with it, wacking the shit out of everybody.

Fun times with my lovely purple dildo.

:rolf:/-{}-\:rolf:

:stupid: there is a bunch of flowers available in the cemetary too.

I have become addicted to K Rose and the truck driving missions. No progress has been made of late.

there are flowers all over the place - hidden in flowers, believe it or not. Not only are they weapons (ha) you're supposed to give them to your girlfriend too, but I havent bothered with this as they just nag too much so I let them go..

I'm upto the plane flying missions at the abandoned airfield, in Las Venturas. Tis bloody annoying to say the least..

methinks that is many hours spent. Got club hand yet?

I got this game last Saturday. It is massive. I think it will be impossible to complete everything. I've completed a fair few of the missions on the first island, and that's about it. I just don't have enough time to play it!!! I'm at work until late in the evenings, and those days where I do leave earlier it's because I have something to do like football or band practice or summat. I need an extra day in the week just to play this game.

/me considers taking days off work as "GTA - SA" days

:D

The Andreas Flu can be quite tricky, sometimes forcing sufferers to take days on end off. Thing i've found out about it is that it does take a long time to get anywhere- progress in the game that is. Have only just open other island, still got cacky weapons tho.

Try and steal a train. :))

I completed it last night. The final mission is a total eye opener. I'm not gonna give it away but its fucking amazing, easy but amazing what they did. I'm not even gonna use spoiler tags for this one. ;)

There is still plenty to do though until I get 100% completion. Complete loads of side missions and find all the horseshoes, tags, and pearls. Loads more to do.

Plus there is this BigFoot phenomenon that is all but taking over the GTA community. Does he exist? Is it all a big elaborate hoax? This last three weeks I've watched one of the biggest most hilarious forum flame wars ever. People getting banned, people cussing at one another about posting fake pictures and moderators deleting posts all over a hairy thing that may not even exist. :D

I know the UFO's exist and I know the ghost car exists in the Back O Beyond because I've seen them both myself. BigFoot... I remain to be convinced.

What the fuck are Ghost cars? Any chance of a link to this GTa bun fight?

I saw an old banged up car last night in the Back o' beyond, it wasn't driving anywhere, but it was just sitting in the middle of the forest.

Ain't seen no BigFoot. As for the UFO's, are they in the desert, any chance of finding a crashed one?

Yeah, i've seen those old banged up cars, there is one parked in a farm barn and another, strangely, sat out in the open, miles from anywhere. Maybe the ufo's are in the restricted area?

Ok, if you look on the map and move the little pointer to the place called Back o Beyond, if you zoom in close you'll see two horse shoe shaped rocks. This is where you'll easily find the ghost car. Its a battered up Glendale car. There are actually two in this area but only one of them is a ghost car in that it appears to drive down the hill by itself. (really it just spawns at the top of a hill and rolls down it) It rolls to a stop and lodges itself on a rock at the western-most horse shoe. If you missed it then just blow it up and walk away and then come back to the area and have your camera at the right angle to see it rolling down the hill again.

This horse shoe area is also the same area (amongst orthers , like Flint County, Mount Chilead) where bigfoot sightings have taken place. So keep your eyes peeled. Here is a threads to the all the Big Foot shenanegans. It's had to be restarted 3 times already because it has gotten so big.

First Thread (http://neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?fn=view_thread&t=455358&p=1)
Second Thread (http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?fn=view_thread&t=457086)
Third thread (http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?fn=view_thread&t=459447)

This forum is very crowded and sometimes gets sluggish in the evenings.

Also you can go to this (http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showforum=118) other forum for more Bigfoot stuff and general san andreas threads.

Most of the pics on there are fake. But there are some genuinly interesting pics on there too. I personally haven't seen any that has totally convinced me yet.
I do know that rockstar are famous for putting easter eggs in their games. There are plenty in both GTA3 and in Vice City so I think there is a real possibility of there being a bigfoot in the game.

As for the UFO, I have seen it twice. Both times I've either been in the helicoptor or the Jet. Its like a white pulsating orb thing that flys close to you and then speeds off and out of view. Both times I've seen it I was flying near Mount Chilead at a pretty high altitude. Although there have been other sightings all over the place so its seems pretty random.

Cheers, Poop.

I just spent a considerable amount of time reading through those threads. Don't bother (only got halfway through 2nd thread) - the highlights are about 100 people claim to have seen it, chatted with it, been killed by it, fathered its children, but nobody has managed to take a good photo that didn't turn out to be fake. Somebody e-mailed Rockstar and got a message back saying that there could well be something lurking in the mountain tops (a sea serpent was also hinted at), and that there were about 30 easter eggs in the game. This mail could've been bullshit too, though.
Finally - (and I haven't checked this out), somebody posted a photo of the last page of the GTA instrauction book, in the "thanks to" list - Big Foot and Sea Snake are thanked.
This is either a coinsidence, a clue or it's what sparked the myth off in the first place.

Bottom line is that like the 'real' bigfoot, everybody's seen it, but nobody's got a decent picture, and how hard can that be?

Still, it's enough to get me hunting. For those of you who have time to waste - it's meant to be lurking in the back o' beyond in a sort of horseshoe bit where the ghost cars appear.

Check my latest post in that forum. I've entered the gamesradar competition to find evedence on bigfoot. :D So far I think its probably the only clear evedence yet that bigfoot might be in the game.
heres the link to my post:

I smell PR hype.

Probably pr hype. So what? Its a truly awsome game. Whats wrong with a bit of pr hype?

Anyways. Here is a nice cheat for y'all.

If you don't mind a non plot related spoiler then during the game press:

L1, L2, R1, R2, up, down, left, right, L1, L2, R1, R2, up, down, left, right

You'll get a nice flyable thingy. :)

Don't save the game with this or any other cheat activated, because it will make it permanent and screw up your game progress.

oh yes! a jetpack!

fandabbydozy

Right Iv'e completed all the stroyline missions I can't be arsed with the rest anyone want to buy a ps2?

got the jetpack a while ago, through the storyline

can anyone tell me where exactly are the boards for what cars are wanted at the import/export? I've just been delivering any cars I get the message in

Hmm did you know that the old cheats from Vice city and GTAIII work on San Andreas.. most helpful if you still have the walk thruu books ;)

meh, I'm still at the flying school part (on the abandoned airstrip) but I've just realised I still havent done them annoying as hell missions for Zero..

When does Wu Zi Wu get in touch again?

Hmm did you know that the old cheats from Vice city and GTAIII work on San Andreas.. most helpful if you still have the walk thruu books ;)
We don't talk to cheaters on this thread ;)

Smiff - as for Wuzi - he turns up in San Fierro, after you race against that crazy mexican honey and the protaganist from GTA 3, she gives you deeds to an abandoned garage, he turns up there.
Or have you passed that bit?

Zero's missions are horrific, but I found the first one the hardest, second one second hardest and the third one was easy. It's as much about luck.

Or have you passed that bit?

yeah, I've done the missions for Wuzi - up until where he says he'll phone back when he's got a new place.

When do the other aircraft become available? Just about to start on those god awful Zero missions and getting very fed up with driving everywhere. Have found a couple of helicopters hiding in airports, ( theres also one in the marina to the right of the big bridge on the northern island) but i can never get into them. Suppose it's something to do with the aircraft liscenses but its odd how you can get into some, but not others. :\

More aircraft will become available when you complete the flying school missions. That will happen just 3-4 missions into the desert area. Then just after that you'll be sent to Las Venturas to see what Wuzi has been upto. Just south of San Fiero there is a large hill. Take a Heli up there on a clear day and you should see a little house at the top and there will be a crop duster plane parked outside.

This is a link to loads of FAQ's about the game. It's being constantly updated and it should also show some info about the improt/export missions as well.

http://www.neoseeker.com/Games/Products/PS2/gta_4/faqs.html

Check this out too. It shows item locatoins for all the collectables. You'll need them if your gonna go for 100% completion.

Theres one behind the quarry too. Or is that the one you mean?

If you go on a two player runaround, and one of you gets in the cropduster - the other can jump on the wings (a la wingwalking) sniping passers by. Lovely.
Flying the plane too vertical though, will make the second player plummet to earth - which is nice.

You don't need to complete the Zero missions to complete the main story strand. I'm going back to them after I've finished the story.

As soon as you have you pilot's licence, you get to go into all of the airports where you can fly the jets in there. You also get a military VTOL jet at the airstrip after completing one of the Las Venturas missions.

Dammit! Zero's missions took me the best part of a day!

I heard that the NRG500 is the fastest bike in the game, anyone know where I can find one parked?

down by the docks, in the dry dock shed thing next to the import/export crane. it's a weird stunting sub-game thing but just ignore it and take the bike
I'm not sure it's that much quicker than the fcr900 tho
(bit 'out of era' too with it's Valentino Rossi number boards)

I think there are a couple in the multi storey in the centre of town on the first island.There is also on in the dry dock opposite the garage in the second island. This one is linked to a small challenge though, and its a lot of fun

You know what this game needs? A speedometer when you get in the vehicle.

Should start a gripe thread...it also needs a menu so after you finish all the story mission you can go back and select them later and play your favourites.

It'd be nice if you could use the taxi's whenever you want, just get in, pinpoint a bit on the map and sit back, go and make a cup of tea or skip time, just to save the hassle of driving everywhere.

You can find import export cars using this map (http://img99.exs.cx/img99/1818/6234.jpg)

How bad is the mission in San Fiero called "Supply Lines" - its in the Zero Strand. I left it out due to its inconcievable hardness! It is the WORST mission in GTA history! Having now wanting to go back and complete that strand I find it just infuriating - any hits/tips/aggre-ances?

It is a difficult mission and I found it very infuriating. But it is good practice for when you have to fly a plane later on in the game general tip is to go for the couriers closest to you first then take the 2 out further away. The on courier is on a motor bike with a pillion passenger with a gun try to get it so you are flying towards him from the front this will giove you more time to shoot him.

Thats a tough mission. I went for the nearest two first. One trick I learned was land the plane behind the van/bike and shoot it from the ground. You can easily spin it round while shooting. This trick is especially usefull when the dude gets out of the van and starts running as he is hard to shoot from above.

This one took me a wee while, but you need to get lucky.
Firstly, you pretty much have to take out the guys/vans on your first swoop, either that or have enough space to turn around for a second good swoop.
Once you take out the two closest, look at the map, get the next closest one then go for the furthest away one, letting you take out the last van on your way back in.

As I say, it's all about luck, the time I completed this I found that the couriers had stayed fairly nearby and I made it back with a touch of fuel left.
Zero's third and last mission is easy, though.

blimey, the new rhino tank r00ls!

get your hydra jet, steal the tank from the no-fly zone, do the vigilante missions out there in the country

It is a toughy. Best bet is take off, go immediately left and take out the van, follow the road that the van was on, this'll lead you to the next one, take that van out, and turn to the left for the next one, which is the guy on the pushbike. The last two move about quite a lot, so you can never tell where exactly they'll be. The one on the motorbike is the most difficult, because you are under fire from the moment you come into range. The main problem is fuel. On the way to getting the fourth courier, you should have to fly close to the big crane in the building site. I reckon that you need at least two thirds of a tank of fuel left here, otherwise you won't have enough to make it back. I once ran out of fuel about 2 metres from the red end mission target. I very nearly cried.

im really gutted. i really really want to buy this game. ive been playng it on my bro in laws.

ive been trying to buy a PS2 for 2 weeks so i can buy this. nowhere has got any though. if anybody comes across somewhere in the mcr area selling them please let me know

(ps i want the slim line version and preferably in a bundle with a game or two)

Money making hint:

I may be stating the bleeding obvious here... but the Four Dragons Casino is practically a licence to print money.

Save game, walk in, go to Video Poker, and run around until you find the one with coin value $10000. Bet with 5 coins. If you win, run out of the Casino and save the game. If not, reload. By doing this I went from $48,000 to $1,300,000 in the (real time) space of about half an hour.

How has everybody else managed to kill Pulaski in the mission, High Noon?

I've tried doing drive bys on him, tried knocking him of the edges of mountains, tried just following him incase he gets out, and even tried firing an RPG at him - all which do absolutely nothing.

update
jesus, i finally did it. If anyone else gets stuck on this just keep ramming and doing drive bys on him for quite a while until eventually his car will blow up and he'll come out for you to pop in the head. When you're ramming and doing drive bys on him, dont look for damage on his car - because you probably won't notice any. Thats where I kept going wrong

It's much simpler than this!!!

Make sure you have a sniper rifle with you for the mission, and as he runs out of the graveyard (ie: where the chase starts) shoot out the two tyres that are visible on his car. This makes the car practically impossible for him to control, and it's easy to catch him and blow it up.

Yeah polaski was a cunt. He kept getting out pacing me. I got a few shots on his tyres first and that slowed him down. In the end it was the bad AI that made me catch him. He kept trying to drive up a cliff so I just got out and used a heat seeking missile on him. Blew him sky high. It was hilarious what he had to say about CJ's sister and mother during the chase though. The only real time that character had anything useful to say.

hmm, I'm sure I tried that and it did nothing..ah well I've done it now.

Im upto 'Grove 4 Life' now - and after winning the first gang war, can't find any more ballas anywhere to provoke another war..

I did something similar when Jizzy tried to escape from the Pleasure Domes, it was very amusing watching him slalom all over the shop.

As soon as you've got your gambling skill up, you can play the million-dollar-stake roulette tables. Put all your cash on black or red and if you lose, just reload.

smiff: you just have to be patient. look on streets with pavements at each side in purple-shaded areas. The best way is to stop in the middle of the street and look around with right-analogue until you see a cluster of Ballos gang-bangers. Ice 'em and you're away.

By the way - I found that taking homies with me to take over territories was harder than just doing it myself.

Oh, I finished the main story mission strand last thursday eveining. Still plenty to do though!

Is it true that you don't need all the Unique Jumps for 100%, I'd've thought 100% meant that you'd pretty much nailed everything, jumps included.

It is true, yeah. There are a few little odd-job missions you don't need, too.

Yup. I've discovered this too. I think it's a pity really, because at the beginning of the game you really had to earn money, and you needed every penny. $10000 for a new property required saving up. I prefered it like this. Now it's possible to buy anything without thinking about it. It was my biggest criticism of the other games: money was far too easy to come by. I really thought they'd addressed the problem at the beginning of this game, but as soon as the casinos come in to the game it's a free for all.

I think a good idea would be to put a limit on the number of times a save point will work for. ie: you could have one that only allows you to save the game at that point once, and once you've saved it there the save point becomes inactive (either for a period of time, or forever).

I dunno. Kids of today, eh?

I think it's good that money becomes so easy to come by later on - it's realistic. He's made it. Also, if you had to save all your pennies to buy burgers and body armour by slogging away on trucking missions, you might as well be playing The Sims.

Just finished the main storyline missions, although I've found that there are some missions I didn't do... it's weird because even though I've finished the story, and certain characters have been killed, when I've gone back to do the missions I missed, it continues to refer to them as if they were alive!! Bad game planning there, methinks. In my view you shouldn't be able to complete the game until all the storyline missions have been completed, otherwise you end up going back in time!

Have started on the racing missions too, and I'm finding them quite easy.

yeah, I completed the main storyline missions yesterday - but I havent bothered with Zero's 'Supply Lines' more than once.

Even though I've completed the game, the garage (Wang Cars) opposite the building site in San Fierro is still unavailable to buy - is this because I havent done Zero's stuff yet?

hmm, I bought 'wang cars' as part of the storyline (the CJ missions)

just done Zero's missions now
is it just me or does using full throttle make no difference to fuel use? the important thing is lining up the van/bike, blasting it quickly till it starts to burn, then getting out of there quickly
the last mission is much easier if that's any comfort

looking around for other asset missions now, just done the 'hippy shopper' courier mission
take the freeway bike outside hippy shopper in hashbury, san fierro (near the modern church) to start this

oh and i've got a tuxedo, spats and a nice hat :)

hmm, I bought 'wang cars' as part of the storyline (the CJ missions)

hmm indeed....very wierd..

edit
ah ha! problem solved - I didnt actually complete all of the Driving School missions way back when, so missed out on buying the showroom, opening the races and cesars few missions to get the cars. Stupid really that you should be able to miss out such a big (ish) bit of the game..

http://img118.exs.cx/img118/479/bigfoot2.jpg

More bigfoot fakery. But slightly better than the others.

I'm still waiting on the guy who says he is gonna post pics of bigfoot in a cave found in Mount Chilead.

I'll beleive it when I see it. I've been inside/under Mount Chilead using the Blue hell glitch and not seen any cave at all. It's gonna really put his photoshop skills to the test. :/

I must admit, I got tooled up with the jetpack and the infra-red goggles and had a look for the large-footed beast, but saw feck all.

As for Wang cars, I've been through all of the Driving School missions (or have I?) I sat through it all once, did everything including the last mission (crosstown traffic or something). Do you have to go back and get a higher score? Or is there more missions?

You should get (at least) mostly bronzes, with a SuperGT outside (modtly silvers for bullet, and mostly golds for hotknife) if you have, Wang Cars should be available to buy and there should be a red marker outside CJs garage (opposite the train station) so you can do Cesars few missions to get hold of some cars - then theres the start of the import/export side missions...


I'm guessing you havent passed all the lessons

I was at that same point, where I hadn't yet bought Wang Cars. I've now done those missions, finished the trucking missions, and the quarry missions, and half of the racing missions, but there is one storyline thread left: It's the one where you have to pull the croupier of the casino in order to get an access card. The reason I'm finding it difficult: You have to take her out on dates etc. but the bint is never at home! I've managed about one date with her, because she's just never there!

Anyone got and ideas about this? Do I need to go to her house "equipped" with anything? I've tried flowers, (and the big purple dildo), but all to no avail. Is there a time window where she's at home?

i just parked outside her house in a gimp suit, and carrying a dildo, creepy eh and did something else while i waited for her to be in when she did turn up, she just took me straight in, shagged me, and gave me the card

I'll get the gimp suit oiled up and ready then... :)

the one in the game, that is

not your own one ;)

Damn... that's where I was going wrong! It was bloody boiling sat on the sofa all in leather, I could hardly see anything through the eye holes, and my gloves kept slipping on the controller... as for the dildo... :\

Anyone got and ideas about this? Do I need to go to her house "equipped" with anything? I've tried flowers, (and the big purple dildo), but all to no avail. Is there a time window where she's at home?

All I did was wait outside her house with the gimp suit on (couldnt be bothered getting the dildo) until her car magically popped into view and shagged the pants of her, did this about two or three times until she phoned and said the keycard is in the bedroom, so went back and picked it up - Et Voila.

It's supposed to be 02:00 - 06:00 am and 14:00 to 18:00 pm.

I have been having the same problems as you though. She's never at home.

there's a bit of a girlfriend glitch it seems, they keep disappearing

try and get the cop and the nurse girlfriends tho, you don't lose your weapons when busted/wasted

That's a bit irritating when it's essential to finishing a mission.

buy the nearby safe house, try changing clothes etc, keep saving and coming back

I tried that. I think some events in the game are only triggered by time elapsed during gameplay. Anyway, I got this advice from GTA Forums: (http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=159165&hl="Millie+glitch")

Well when you wanna pick up millie, make sure its between 12-20, and i noticed that when i park my car in her neighbors driveway (not across the street but to the left of her) and get out and walk to millies house her red blip is there.. tell me if this works for anyone!

Other posters seem to confirm its efficacy. I'll try it when I get back and report.

I don't know why I'm bothering with the spoiler tags, because they are not taken into account in the contents of the "new post" email. Anyway, the gimp outfit did the trick.

Its official! my new favourite thing in SA is getting a load (by that i mean 20+) of tractors and tow trucks hooked up together and making my own road train to brum brum around sa - yay tis just like tonka toys..in its own virtual kind of way...

ahh, the joys of having way to much free time...

fly the jetpack to the top of the gant bridge in san fierro for an "easter egg" (kinda)

also I just found out you can go to the airport and catch a scheduled flight to one of the other airports (if you can't be fucked driving/flying there yourself)

also in las venturas airport, theres a big hangar towards the south east, in there is a big 737, recreate your favourite Al Qaeda moments with this

Have you all seen the lemings easter egg?

Next to the gym in Las Venturas there is a bomb garage. Walk through it and out into the alleyway behind it. Stand in the alley way and look up and right. Youll see loads of peds jumping off the building one after the other. Its a tribute to the old lemmings game. Before Rockstar made it big they were called DMA Designs. And one of there biggest hits was Lemmings.

Have you all seen the lemings easter egg?

hmm, i must be doing something wrong - that doesnt work for me. I walk into the the back of the bombshop, but just reappear back in front of the open shutter..

Yeah I had that problem myself. Its some kind of glitch. Fix you camera so that CJ is facing you and then walk through so it looks as if he is walking toward you. Then when your out the other end look up and to your right. Just over the wall you'll see a whitish building with people jumping.

How did you do this? Do you have to pass a mission before the tow trucks/tractors will pull stuff? so far every time i've got a tow truck , back it up to a car it does bugger all. Unless i'm missing the bleeding obvious again :\

haha, I tried that again and nothing happened so i went over to the building I thought they would be jumping off and a woman launched herself ontop of me, killing herself in the process - there were no others though..

How did you do this?
push the right analog stick down to raise the hook/winch on the back, and push it up to lower it (release whatever you're towing).



I read this on this (http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/grand_theft_auto_sa.txt) guide (that i was really only using to find where the euros was..);


4. Beat the Cock (555XIl4)

These are two triathlon races located on Santa Maria Beach and Fisher's
Lagoon on weekends only. They are unlocked after you unlock Las
Venturas, and span most of the state. They start with a swimming race,
which leads to a cycling race, and finishes with a sprint. You need high
Stamina and Bike skill to pass these races. The reward for each is
$10,000.


Does anyone know where Santa Maria beach is? or even if this is true, because I thought it was the one infront of the Avispa Country Club - but it doesnt look like it, as I went there at the right time, (with top stats in stamina and cycling, and lv unlocked) but there was nothing there at all. I've looked on the ingame map - but none of the beaches are called Santa Maria.



Just found this out; when you're on a BMX you can do a ridiculously high bunny hop (to get to higher places maybe) press L1 as if you were going to do a normal bunny hop, but just as you release L1 press circle. Wheeeee....

it's the beach in the far south west corner of los santos, between the lighthouse and the pier (where the lowrider race ended)

there should be a coastguard helicopter there too

I think you also have to be there on a saterday or a sunday.

Easter Egg & Glitch Guide (http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/index.php?fn=view_thread&t=468795) Yay!

Umm.

I seem to have lost all my girlfreinds. Can anyone help?

has anyone else been repeatedly kamikazee'd by crazy pilots? whenever I go up Mount Chilead, chances are somewhere along the way a stupidly low-fying plane will explode into the side of the mountain, always very near to CJ. This also occasionally happens just outside CJ's garage in doherty.

I'm guessing its just a CJ-plane-magnet glitch.

tis very wierd tho..

I found a 'secret' off road slalom/track, halfway up the side of Mount Chilead when wandering about. When making your way up, go on to the grassy bit at one of the sharp harpin style corners and carry on, or from ground level walk up the side of the hill opposite the scrapyard and look ahead of you so you see a cave in the side of mt Chilead -head for that (pref with jetpack) and you should make your way there. Theres a Quad bike somewhere around there too..

I havent got a clue what this place is for, unless its for a racing mission i havent unlocked yet..

The San Andreas Bigfoot Mystery has been solved. (sort of).

One of the main people responsible for the Bigfoot shenanegans DMC24Guy has admitted that he and an unkown collegue had hoaxed the story of the Bigfoot sightings. The main reason why almost the whole of the GTA community took Bigfoot seriously is because DMC24Guy is a very well respected member. He has been famous for discovering many secrets in Vice City and has his own "Blue Hell Exploration Team" (A clan that is dedicated to the famous glitch where you can go under the map and drive/fly around beneath all the roads and buildings). This is why the BigFoot story gained so much momentum.

But wait! DMC24Guy is not the orginator of the Bigfoot story. The first reported sighting happened over on the GameFaqs.com message board way before DMC24Guy's hoax. So there is still hope that Bigfoot might be in the game.

Anyways. It was great fun. It spawned an online petition to Rockstar to reveal their secrets in the game. It also spawned a club in which dozens of gamers decided to open the GTA:SA disk on their pc and go through every single texture in the game in the hope of discovering bigfoot and other secrets. And they did find some minor secrets and also some weird suspicious looking textures that look encrypted somehow. I have to say it was great fun watching all the flame wars and the people getting banned, people getting their account suspended (including my own, for no aparent reason :/ ).

Now were all off to hunt for ufo's...


I spent ages trying to shoot one down in the military jet, but no luck.

Rockstar have announced release dates for the pc and xbox ports of Gta:San Andreas:

June 7th

6 months away! I would have thought they would bring it out a bit quicker than that.


Also here are some new cheat codes just released:

Triangle, Up, Up, Left, Right, Square, Circle, Left.

Beach Party - All pedestrians spawn as girls in swimsuits, vehicles are beach vehicles and the player is dressed in shorts and flip-flops. Some of the pedestrians even catch some rays on the sidewalk on beach towels.
Up, Up, Down, Down, Square, Circle, L1, R1, Triangle, Down

Jumper - Gives the player a parachute.
Left, Right, L1, L2, R1, R2, R2, Up, Down, Right, L1.

and some more, newly revealed cheats..

CJ Jump High
up, up, triangle, triangle, up, up, left, right, square, R2, R2

Fat CJ
triangle, up, up, left, right, square, circle, down

Skinny CJ
triangle, up, up, left, right, square, circle, right

Spawn a Quad

Spawn a Vortex
triangle, triangle, square, circle, X, L1, L2, down, down

Spawn a Hydra
triangle, triangle, square, circle, X, L1, L1, down, up


Talking of the hydra, how do you 'properly' fly it? as in take it out of hover mode - i keep tapping R3 but it just slowly glides about (I stole it from the naval base like this) rather than breaking the clouds like it looks like it should..

Hydra is my favourate. To take it out of hover you just push R3 forward. To put it back in hover you push back on R3. Simple. It spawns in Verdant Medows airstrip after you collect certain amounts of medals in the flying school. I think you have to collect all the silver medals.

It spawns at your airfield (after the relevant mission)

Bit out of the way, quick to get home again though.

It spawns at your airfield (after the relevant mission)


yeah, thats the Verdant Meadows airstrip.

Question:

Does anyone actually bother landing a plane?

I just set my target to where I want to go, and then when I'm over it I jump out. I occasionally land helicopters if I know I'm going to need it again.

I do sometimes. It's a great sense of achievement, fyling from one airstrip to the other.

Maybe I'm just tragic?
