Relive The Greatness Of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Tomorrow
Grand Theft Auto: San AndreasAlthough it wasn't my personal favorite, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was undoubtedly the most accomplished of the three classic PS2 entries.
With RPG-like elements (i.e., if you worked out, you'd get all muscular, and practicing shooting with specific guns made you more accurate), an appropriately huge world featuring both cities and outlying suburbs, and a solid story, San Andreas is a definite must-play for all hardcore gamers.
But if you missed out or you'd simply love to play it again, you can always download it when it hits the PlayStation Network tomorrow. We figured this was coming, as the ESRB rated the game back in October; now, as announced over at the PlayStation Blog, that it'll be available as of December 11. They didn't provide us with a price, but it'll probably be $10, as other games have been. Speaking of which, GTAIII is already downloadable, and we're all assuming Vice City (my favorite) will show up soon, too. And that, of course, will be highly recommended.
Yes, it's true that GTAV will be very different, as GTAIV was. So if you want that arcade-y, over-the-top insanity, you probably have to stick to the old-school GTA adventures.

No, they're not going back to rag-doll physics and totally unrealistic everything. That much I can guarantee.

I don't really care what kind of physics they use or other technicalities, it's more the overall atmosphere and craziness I have in mind.
There's something about the sunniness, beaches and general scenery that just *so* reminded me of SA, and even VC.
I think it looks very classic GTA. GTA4 was like a contemporary drama. From the looks of it I think (or at least hope) GTA5 will be a return to a more lighthearted story, over the top events and more colourful characters.

back to the satire and making fun of society, the things R* north is so famous for!
they have always stuck up a mirror to society, and made fun of it, controversy for the sake of it.
4 dident, this looks allot more like that.

The American PSN blog seems to give people a lil more insight in to what is coming up than the EU blog.

edit: actually I think it might be a Micheal Jackson song that is the problem.

EU?.......... *crickets*.
its amazing and pathetic the amount of content available on the US PSN store not available anywhere else!
as if getting ripped through the a$$ price wise is not bad enough!
why does $ony hate everyone outside america?
i dont see nintendo, microsoft, apple, samsung,ect, ect playing favorites.
fine, f*ck you too $ony!
another thing i cant understand is R*s refusal to remake the console versions.
we will do a HD remake for GTA3 for mobiles, we will do a HD remake for VC for mobiles, and they have always been open to GTASA HD for mobiles.
so why are they so hell bent on saying no to it for consoles?
because there concerned it will hurt sales of 4, its DLC, and 5?
come on dont be stupid, a HD remake would HELP the sales for those games not hurt it!
id give anything to be able to play vice city in proper HD, oh hell remake it in the RAGE engine and give it graphics like GTAIV!
if theres ONE game out there that deserves that treatment its vice city!

IT'S MASSIVE!!!
From my personal experience, it was 3 months of my life very well invested, there are so many things to do, finding everything and doing evertything, watching cutscenes, etc.
Best GTA in my opinion of the whole franchise, no other GTA has managed to come anywhere close to this gem.

What I get from the trailers we've seen so far is GTA going back to the roots. I think it looks almost like a GTA:SA 2!
