From PlanetGrandTheftAuto.com has the translated new info for San Andreas:
The German edition of the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine contains some new information.
Some parts of missions will take place in the countryside outside of the 3 cities.
The game story will be tripled in length. If you get too fat, those that give you missions have the ability to tell you to get in better shape before starting a certain mission.
The HUD (heads up display) will be similar to GTA III's and Vice City's.
Orange Grove is the name of one of the towns/suburbs that's where the Orange Grove Families come from.
There will be less pop-up of distant objects. Houses can be seen from far away. Groups of trees will be rendered as a group from distance. If you get closer, they'll be rendered seperately. Because of this, a bigger draw distance is possible.
The magazine claims that the animations will be even better than in Vice City.
The goal of the programmers is to achieve a constant frame rate of 30 frames per second. But, in extreme situations when there are lots of cars and pedestrians on the screen, the magazine says that the game still has some slowdown issues.
The textures will be photographed ones as well as self-drawn ones.
The camera will automatically zoom behind CJ at the press of a button. Then you can aim freely with the analog stick. But as an alternative to that, there will also be the aiming-aid.
The number of licensed music tracks in SA will have tripled.
The game is now about 80% finished (probably a month ago).
Even the dual-layer DVD is actually too small for the game. Due to new compression techniques for the PlayStation 2, the game barely fits on it.

Comedy Central has a new GTA inspired mini-game promoting their Reno 911 TV series. Check it out at this link

Could it possibly be a hint that comedy centrals Dave chappelle might have something to do with GTA San Andreas ?

I've just seen a fake San Andreas video made by Rafko and RedPinguin and it was amazing. It's all been done with PC version mods of GTA3 and Vice City, but it has used everything we expect to see in San Andreas and the video has been edited to give it more of a San Andreas feel. If some of the more 'obvious' places from GTA3 and VC weren't used on the video, it would be very hard to tell the difference. Great job all of those who worked on this video!

You can download it here (WMV Format, 17MB) which is hosted on our server to save bandwidth for the guys who made it, but feel free to check out their page at:

They're using a double sided DVD I think I heard, they've already filled one side and are in danger of filling the second too :D They've gone nuts I tells ya!

Even games like Killzone are delaying their releases so they don't come out at the same time as GTA, it's gonna be BIG :cool:

i think the dvd is only one side but it has two layers. they say that it wouldnt fit on to two layers normally so they have to compress it. there is three times as much music whici h i think is ridiculouys.

i think it would be cool if there were different radio stations in the different cities.

anyone seen that fake movie yet its quite cool.

Yeah I meant double layered, anyway you get what i mean - basicly it's BIG ;)

You know how when you drive around Liberty/Vice City you know where you are all the time and what's round the corner, I reckons in San Andreas you're gonna be lost 50% of the time :D

I can't wait to get lost :p, The sheer size of the game is going to be phenomenal.

Rockstar must be pretty confident if they are releasing this many details about the game this early, compare this to Konami who are keeping their cards close to their chest about PES4.

Same here lol :D , in Vice City and GTA:3 i know every single road back to back, i will never get lost, but on San Andreas, i dont think i will be able to do that again :D ...

I played Driver 3 yesterday, and the Graphics where AMAZING !!!, if the San Andreas Graphics are like that....the game will be even better, than it looks...

It probably will have a map, considering how big the game is going to be. They should include a pull-out map like they did with the first GTA, that would be handy
