I've scanned and uploaded a page about SA from PSM2, new screenshots ( only 1 or 2 and they're pretty small, if someone could find them on the web :D ) and info - this thing is looking better and better :cool:

Check the 4-man car jacking :eek:

Gangs
Orange Grove Families - Carl Johnson's gang who the player will move with throughout the game. [Seen here] Game Informer
The Ballas - A rival gang of the Orange Grove Families. [Possibly seen here] OPS2 UK
The City / Map
The state of San Andreas, made up of the cities; Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. Game Informer
The three cities from above will be named Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas in the game. Game Informer
Each city is the same size as Vice City. Game Informer
The entire game will be about Four to Six times bigger than Vice City. Game Informer
San Fierro will contain hills and will be more driving based. Game Informer
You can drive from Los Santos, through the countryside, up a mountain and into San Fierro, then onto Las Venturra. Game Informer
Driving through the desert will be vibrant and alive with weird things to see. Game Informer
There will be tumble-weed in the desert. OPS2 UK
Buildings
There will be a lot more buildings with open interiors. Game Informer
The only loading times in the game will be a short pause when you enter buildings! OPS2 UK
Graphics
The graphics engine has been tweaked. Smog will be present in LA, and real-time reflections on cars, windows, and mirrors, as well as new techniques like radial lighting, which allows for more realistic shadowing, and soft-shadow lighting for interior levels will be present. Game Informer
Everything in the game now has independent models for day and night to give better lighting and shadowing. Game Informer
Shadows can be used to hide yourself, to help pick off unsuspecting enemies. OPS2 UK
Real sunlight is simulated, and shadows are placed where they would really be. OPS2 UK
There are different sets of lighting for day and night which helps create a more realistic feel. OPS2 UK
Weather effects have been added to. OPS2 UK
There are various plants and places to see in the countryside, such as farms which keeps the game feeling alive. OPS2 UK
Game Play
The game will have rag-doll physics, or “Impact Animation” in Rockstar's words Game Informer
In the Las Venturas city, you will be able to buy and build a casino and then run it. Game Informer
You can then gamble your money in the casino. Game Informer
You need to eat to retain your stamina. If you eat too much fast food, you become fat and pedestrians mock you for being fat. You also run slower. To remedy this, you can go to a gym to exercise. Game Informer
You can now rob homes. The robberies will require skill and planning, however. Game Informer
You can recruit gang members and use them to do four person drive-by’s. Game Informer
Being a Gang Member only makes up about 15% of the total game. OPS2 UK
Carl Johnson can visit The Barber and get his hair cut into numerous different styles which the player can decide. Pedestrians and characters will make remarks on your hair, depending if it looks cool or un-cool. OPS2 UK
Carl and the Orange Grove Families can take over areas and generate money from them. This is just one of the many things which can add to the replay value even after the game has been 'completed'. OPS2 UK
Swimming is now a part of the game. OPS2 UK
If you drive a vehicle into the water, you have two choices, climb out of the window and swim to shore, or stay in the car and sink, where you will have a certain amount of underwater stamina. OPS2 UK
Swimming will be involved in some missions. OPS2 UK
There are parts of the game where you will work as a gang, and parts where you will work alone. OPS2 UK
The game is now very non-linear, and depending what choices are made, it will be rare for 2 players to have the same type of game. The missions will be the same, but so much can change depending on choices you make. OPS2 UK
There will be In-Breds and Degenerates in the Countryside and some missions will reflect the contrast between the towny and the country people. OPS2 UK
The map is so big players will get lost frequently. OPS2 UK
Characters have more bones which results in numerous different facial expressions. OPS2 UK
There are now many more ways to complete missions. You could run straight in shooting, or sneak through the shadows and pick off the enemies one by one. OPS2 UK
When the player only has one wanted star, hiding in the shadows should be enough to throw police off your trail. OPS2 UK
The player must tap the X button on the bike in order to pedal faster. GI + OPS2 UK
Weapons
Your character can dual wield pistols and potentially other weapons. Game Informer
The choice of weapons will match the weapons of the early 90's. Game Informer
So far we have seen: [Chrome Shotgun], [12 Gauge Shotgun], [Uzi 9mm], [Colt. 45], [Ingram-Mac 10]. R*, GI and OPS2 UK
You will have an accuracy meter at the top left of the screen, and the more enemies you hit, the better your accuracy will become. OPS2 UK
The crosshairs which are aimed at people will change colour depending on how much health the enemy has. Green will symbolise almost full health, yellow represents half health, and red shows the character is almost dead. OPS2 UK
Vehicles
There will be [Pimped Out Lowriders], and 90’s versions of some GTA3 / VC cars will return. Game Informer
There will be [Bicycles]. Game Informer
There are [Police Motorbikes] and they will be used by the cops. OPS2 UK
There are Quad Bikes to be ridden around the country side. OPS2 UK
Some vehicles are made specifically for the countryside, while others are for the streets of the city. OPS2 UK
Artificial Intelligence
Enemy / pedestrian AI will be greatly revamped and they will think more logically. You can't beat someone to death in broad daylight and not have people notice and react. Game Informer
Your enemies will be smarter, which will make robbing houses take a lot of skill. Game Informer
Music
There will be a rap station, but there will be a variety of other stations as always. Game Informer

Thanks for that Jack Bluebirds, sounds great,

Most of this is what Jack Bluebird just posted, but easyer too read...

you can perform wheelies on bikes.

There are no loading times except when you go into houses.

You can get hair styles

Depending on how you look can afect how woemen and gang members treet u.

CJ is part of the orange grove gang.

You can get your 'friends' and take over teratorys and places.

You can goto a gym.

There will be lots of cars and detail and the game will be 5X bigger than VC

You can hijack cars in a gang and it is nessacy in some missions to have gang members.

You have to plan house breaks or you can get in alot of trouble, like the people in the house taking a shot gun to your head then the police cominig in.

The first mission is the you have some truble with some cops and have to nick a bmx and drive into the distance.

you will be able to see 4X the distance in VC.

In the desert there will be tumble weeds

You can hide in shadows and pick of enemys or go in with a machine gun.

The auto target system has improved when you target someone with alot/full health the taget has greenbits, if injured abit it is yellow and near death is red.

Police have motorcycles to, And if you are in truble they can jump on your bonet and jump on your bumper.

also police helicopters can aim there blades near the ground so you can end up acroos town and with huge gouges in a car.

A lot more Blood! i have to disagree. i think theres already too much blood. even more would make it too unrealistic. there was real diologue in GTA:VIce city and theere will be in san andreas. i ameager to find out who is doing the voices. Ray lliotta did the voice for tommy vercetti in vice city. hope its someone just as big in the next one.

so far only person i know doin any voices is the guy who did salvatore leones from GTA III. it was on gtagaming last week. dont know of any other voices.
and yeah. more blood would be too unrealistic. theres plenty of blood.
hoping the surroundings in it though are dark and gloomy like liberty city rather than the bright sun and colours of Vice city. took the edge away i thought. still. cant wait for this game to come out. its gonna be amazing by the looks of things.
