Rockstar disappoints you for this? Really? Cause this kind of stuff is totally up to the mods to do, they're nearly always the ones doing it. See Morroblivion and such.Greyfox105 said:
What Rockstar disappoints me with is abandoning PC gaming altogether. Not being able to play Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire is slightly more annoying than not having a game that's still perfectly functional and has decent enough graphics shoved into a newer engine.
OT: Cool stuff. But I'm kinda happy with San Andreas the way it is and I'd rather play a full game than a mod tbh, the latter tends to have issues all over the place from my experience.
Played San Andreas for 2 years when i was younger. Never got bored those two years. there was always sth to do, sth to have fun with. The desert occupies about 10% of the map, and the forest area(not counting the area near the mountain) occupies about 15%. so its more like 25% of the map containing lil integral content. BUT i remember very well how the desert is FULL of easter eggs, secrets and hidden vehicles. The giant hen? the body bag site? the giant geiser? the hidden tunnels? the big foot prints? damn that game was good...so much content outside the main story.mjc0961 said:
Also, iused those areas to rally or cruise and test vehicles, since doing it in crowded areas....prooved perilous. Also cop chases thru the desert are badass when you got that old rock radio playin.
Guys, Guys, Guys!
What if this is ACTUALLY Rockstar doing this, and it's all just a tease for a new GTA game?
Wouldn't that be something?

This seems pretty awesome, but are they going to keep the vehicle physics from the 4th one or go back to the old stuff from SA? I actually like the car performance in GTA 4.
Granted, finally having the ability to fly planes again and actually have parachutes will be a very good thing. (I am aware that they added parachutes in the last DLC, but that's DLC. They should of have the parachutes from the beginning since you could get in helicopters)

As long as it includes the Harriers, count me interested. I loved being able to zoom across the map, with missiles to throw at those silly civilians.
GTA4 came with shiny new engine and cool character Niko, but with copy/paste missions and annoying npc's. GTASA came with lots of room to play in and planes to fly in, but a bitchy main character and old recycled game engine.
If they replaced CJ with Niko, but kept all the other characters and lines from the original SA, it would be confusing and hilarious as all get out, but still make things better.

Too bad San Andreas sucked total ass. That said, an actual studio remake of the game using current gen technology might actually be able to turn it into something besides hour upon hour of full speed driving in a nearly featureless map...

Oh yea, and don't forget about the loading screens. Lots and lots of loading screens!

You know what engine needs some more mods? Avalanche. Just Cause 2 is easily one of the best games I've played, and with graphics that good, I can't see why more people haven't jumped on the opportunity to mod the engine into oblivion.
Perhaps the graphics make it hard to do things like this, maybe it takes away some of the accessibility.
On topic: YESSSS. While I loved GTAIV, I miss the jetpacks and super-happy-fun-time-Saint's Row 2-style-fun-because-of-absurdity-ness of San Andreas. On a better engine? I'm excited. Very, very excited.
