Title: GTA: San Andreas finally confirmed....
Post by: aldo_14 on March 01, 2004, 12:31:02 pm
(it's a shame there's not an 'about bloody time' smiley...)

Anyways, thought thi may be of interest, cos the last 2 were somewhat spiffing japery.

Just a name confirm, natch. ( http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/040301/15419_1.html )

Hardly a shock, granted - although I'd hoped they'd do a 1960's London one.  That said, looks like this'll be late 60's early 70's by the name - Bullitt, anyone?

So the next game will take place in the disco era?  Why do you think that?

I hope they don't decide to do one in the future... cuz that would just kill the seriers.

Disco era...bleh.
A 1930s one would be good :) Although that was already SLIGHTLY done with Mafia, but that game sucked.

 San Andreas is San Francisco, san Francisco is probably most famous for Bullitt (um, this is getting tenous), GTA worked backwards 10 years for Vice city (Miami, miami vice, etc).

  I reckon it makes sense.  Er, plus someone else mentioned it way back somewhere else

Man I want a present day one like GTA/2/3. None of this nostalgia jibba-jabba.

Yes and it sucked because of it, the 70's theme seems to work with me though.

I remember Driver being quite fun (the original), and it had San Franciso in the 70's.

Hell, at least the music should be better.

Well, San Andreas is gonna obviously be hilly, so that's gonna be a blast.

I don't wanna think that it's going to be in the past cuz if you go to the GTA: San Andreas website (just a coming soon page, mind u), you see the letters are in gothic, gang-like script.  I'm thinking they're gonna do it in present day.   I hope they do, at least.

Driver was a fun as hell game.  Taking red lights and the cops chasing you was a blast.  I got Driver 2, but never played it.  Driver 3 is supposed to be coming out soon though, isn't it?

June or summat.  Looks quite promising, actually - although I thought Driver 2 was suppossed to be a bit gash(?).

Driver never had the same sense of humour as GTA, though.  I remember the 'Gouranga' bonus for running over the monks in the first game :D

I got Uday's testicles, 3 very sexy virgins, 20 US Marines, 2 US tanks, a 30ft solid-gold statue of Sadam and enough imported Afghan opium to make sure I put it all to good use.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about the US Marines.

Yeah, what the hell are you intending on doing with them anyways?

Last I heard you needed at least 30 to set up a banana republic.

I have the tanks, remember.

I was gonna either sell them to Afghanistan or rip the cameras out of the tank and tape the soldiers having some fun with the virgins.

I think the next best story line would be Vegas in the 20's or something.  But someone said there's already a mafia game like GTA?
