Q&A Session with Rockstar (GTA:SA Related)

Axyon · Oct 23, 2004

A number of fansites sent away questions to Rockstar about San Andreas, and they very recently got the answers back. Read!

Firstly though, allow me to divert your attention to:

"19. There were 97 vehicles in gta vice city, how many are there going to be in gta san andreas? - (Martin Glomb) / www.gta-action.com

ROCKSTAR: San Andreas will have over double the number of vehicles in Vice City."

195+ vehicles. 195. Just think about that.

JimmehH · Oct 23, 2004

Wow. I can't wait to play this game.

Roll on the 29th!

2. "Have the helicopter and plane height limits been increased?" - Gta-Expert / www.gtagaming.com
ROCKSTAR: Massively increased. Mount Chiliad is over half a mile tall, and you can fly well above its height.

Jesus. :O

Ditch the ps2 rockstar, go to PC. The PC is booming baby!

oldagerocker · Oct 23, 2004

this game will rock ...

I thought the VC was pushing the ps2 limits... how'd they squeeze out all thsi level space from it?

No clue. This game is gonna be monstrous. I just wonder how or when they're gonna top GTA:SA. Maybe they'll decide to take it in a different direction or something. It seems like they could be hitting the ceiling on the GTA series in it's current state...but then again...I don't know what exactly is in SA...so I don't know what they have left to include.

I hope when they port it over to the PC, they take advantage of the PC's graphical capabilities. I better see pixel shaded water instead of a generic texture.

They should take the food system to the extremes.

If you eat to much your heart stops from blood clots and you die.
If you eat little you starve to death.

Also this will need a Coke bar too, if your coke bar is to low you need to go get some.. from like a vending machine.

(If you cant tell I dont like the new rpg elements of gta)

9. What will be blocking us from entering the other cities/locations? - (Dead at 4 PM) / GTA Network / GTAScraper

ROCKSTAR: There is some story wrapped up in this, but to answer your question, a 4 star wanted level any time you leave the areas you've opened. And this particular wanted level you cannot shed with things like Pay & Spray or Police Bribes. This means that you can explore areas of the state you haven't opened, but only with a small army of police officers hunting you down!

Cool, so there are no magical barriers blocking you from leaving other areas. I bet you must be on parol or something so you can't leave the area without being hunted.

Burn · Oct 23, 2004

I guess the man charater has some sort of ristraning order. Cool.

That is lolable.

Adidajs · Oct 23, 2004

i'm not normally a penny arcade fan, but that was hilarious.

mchammer75040 · Oct 23, 2004

Im really skeptical about this game, I mean they have so much more stuff in this one it just seems like its going to fall flat on its face. Who knows though, we will find out when reviews come out..which btw no reviews and the game is going to be released in 2 days~!? What the hell...

I voted in that poll

I still wonder though...the poll and discussion doesn't really bring answers to the table (not that I expected it to). I would really like to hear about Rockstar's next project more...if it's gonna be GTA...or something else (not Manhunt 2 please :hmph

Jesus Lincoln · Oct 23, 2004

Uh guys, can you give me the source of these interviews? They look good

Edit: Forget this post, i didnt see his hyperlink

Atomi · Oct 23, 2004

Oh man, If I were a millionaire, I'd buy the game on PS2. Now I'm lucky if i can spare money for HL2.

BabyHeadCrab · Oct 24, 2004

yes I get to pick-up my copy on monday.. im so excited (at 7pm) I could piss my pants

w000000000000000t I finally get to play SA -creamage-

Sai · Oct 24, 2004

Baal · Oct 24, 2004

6. "In Vice City, driving a car up onto the packer and then driving the packer results in the car sliding off. Have the physics been changed so that trucks and trailers can carry cars properly? - (GTA3Freak-2001) / GTA Network / GTAScraper

ROCKSTAR: We have a surprise in store for you on this one.

Hmmm.... Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?

(using those big car-transport vehicles to steal a number of cars for a mission)

(Are they really called Packers?)

-TaNaKa- · Oct 24, 2004

Just to give you a little impression of how big the game is: http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/611/611957/vids_1.html

Look at the "Best Jump" video, man that shit rocks. This is way bigger stuff then in VC

Probably in GTA-world. They use weird names like that. Bansee - Sentinel - Idaho etc.

Ahhh crap. I can't click on anything on my desktop again...I hate that. Gotta restart.

On how many VC sold i dont really think anyone will even consider if this game gets a good or bad review because they know if they liked VC they will love this one even more - Whats not to love about GTA:SA? :E

MetalHead · Oct 25, 2004

hey a bit off topic but anyone no if the game is gonna b censored in Australia cause that would b so gay.

Bad^Hat · Oct 25, 2004

Would someone PLEEEEEEEEASE think of the load times?

Frank · Oct 25, 2004

What?! There weren't 97 vehicles in Vice City!? That's bull unless each new color is a new vehicle...

There are none.

I'm not joking, it does not load...EVER.

It does jerk around some though, bit of a let down. But other than that it's B A D A S S! :naughty:

Now if you'll excuse me, i have some bike skill to upgrade

Burn · Oct 25, 2004

Wait.. what? "Bike skill upgrade" Tell me more or die!

Alig · Oct 25, 2004

You learn things in SA (i have'nt got it or a chipped ps2

) like fighting style's so i guess you can learn to ride a bike better (BMX) like bunny hopping and wheelies and endo's and other tricks you can do on BMX's irl.

Burn · Oct 25, 2004

Whoa thats allmost as pointless as the eatting system. The BMX bit not the fighting, that could be handy.

Yeah, lets make VC with some more cars and a bigger city with actually nothing different to do!

You should be glad Rockstar are'nt like EA games.

Asuka · Oct 25, 2004

Iv hated every single GTA game. Its so boring and pointless. No story, no replay value, easy, boring doing same thing over and over again.
:/

Yea, having to stop off at a food place every so oftern really adds fun gameplay elements to the game. Ohhh I could ignore it and become really weak if I wanted! So much fun. I cant wait.

B-MAn · Oct 25, 2004

That's what I was thinking... couldn't be more than 50.

Vehicles. All the vehicles - that's including boats, helicopters, planes etc. It actually comes to about 85 if you include 'special' vehicles in the game.
