If it is indeed GTA 4, then I'm sure it's going to be great... if it's just another rehash using the same engine then I would rather beat off in front of a crowd while tight rope walking over a tank full of jellyfish than play this game.

it wouldn't be that bad.. it's just like they add a whole new map and new vehicles to the game..
i don't think they should call them whole new games though.. maybe addons or something..

depends on which context. it was defineatly not funny now - and can never be funny when told alone. You suggesting that it may be funny (by asking), is a little bit funny though.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2004--Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing division of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.

with how fast they are churning this one out, I have a feeling that it's still the same engine... and for PS2 only??? Fuck Rockstar, apparently they think they can make more money by releasing it on one system than releasing it on four?

This is what you get for quitting computer games for almost a year. Another GTA out of the blue.
With the money Sony keeps pumping them for exclusive rights, they ARE making more money!

Think about this.
Vice City has been around for sometime now. I am not sure how closely anyone here follows rockstar but it was the same before vice city got released. At first there was the "preorder to avoid disappointment" then after a month or two a screenshot and a fake website got put up. Only within the last four months before the game made its debut did actual information/interviews/pictures get released.
If you followed the development of VC then you may remember that there were a number of things that should have got implemented into the game and were thrown out during development. Kind of like how they said the motorcycle in gta3 couldnt be done. Well it was in vice.
Structural damage was supposed to be in VC. You cant even knick a building. All buildings were supposed to be accessable for realism... during that process they changed their minds and stated "that would be too boring".
There are going to be a lot of improvements and additions to the game. This isnt just some add on pack (to my knowledge) it should be a standalone game.
Overall i look forward to more information to be unveiled and i will keep you all updated!

Oh, I'm sure there'll be plenty of improvements using the same engine, but in my opinion this game can't really be ground breaking without a new engine. I'm not saying it isn't going to be a fun game or very rewarding, I just think Rockstar should stop trying to reap the big profits and start trying to push the boundaries again, like they used to do.

The follow-up to Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This time around, developer Rockstar North and publisher Rockstar take players to San Andreas, California. The choice of San Andreas goes back to the original 2D game Grand Theft Auto, which featured a three-stage structure, offering the levels Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas. San Andreas was the second area players moved to as they progressed through the quest. Expected to feature a look into Chinese and Mexican gang life around San Andreas, the anticipated third-person action game is slated to be released exclusively for PlayStation 2 in October 2004.

Looking forward to it, kinda. I hope they shake it up or give it a huge facelift. The game looks horribly aged... but it's still fun as hell, that's what's important.
That new MechAssault game looks interesting, takes a page from the GTA book, except you're jacking MECHS, not cars. Sweetness.

this is the last game on sony's exclusivity contract with rockstar, which was modified last year to allow an xbox port 1 year after the game is released on ps2. i personally love this because they spend the extra year modifying the graphics engine like they did with the other 2.
also, the pc versions always come out 2-4 months after the ps2 version. i don't see any reason for rockstar to change their release pattern from the other 2 for this one.

Info taken from Gouranga
Very little is known about GTA: San Andreas at this time. Rockstar has confirmed the name and an October 2004 release date, but that is about it. Retailers are currently estimating an October 18th release, but at this point it's just speculation.
If information is released on the same schedule as past GTA titles we are likely to see the next big influx of information just before E3. I'm guessing that prior to E3 Rockstar will launch a side/spin off San Andreas site that will slowly leak information and screenshots. Just before E3 we'll probably see one or two print previews, followed by a full fledged media onslaught just after E3.

I think people are forgetting the important thing here:
Vice City had the awesome 80's soundtrack. What are we getting for this one? I want a fully rephlexized soundtrack!

I think Vice City was a fluke of GTA evolution... San Andreas will most likely see a return to the retarded shitty faux-radio.
