Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas

Tickenest writes "According to a Yahoo-reprinted press-release, Rockstar Games has officially announced Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the latest in the GTA series. The press release continues: 'Developed by world-class designers Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be available exclusively for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and is expected to be in stores in North America on October 19, 2004 and in Europe on October 22, 2004.'" This confirms earlier rumors of (initial?) PS2 exclusivity and possible name for this much-awaited game.

    Nothing like an entertainment company taking a viable product in beating it into the ground so that no one gives a rip anymore.
    Way to go, marketing hacks!

    In a realted story, CmdrTaco announced he will actually play the next version of GTA since, in addition to beating and raping female prostitutes, you can rape and be raped by MALE prostitutes!! He will be playing the ps2 version of the game since cum washes off a TV screen easier.

    Why am I not surprised?

    Did anyone hear that whooshing sound? That was Rockstar's reputation amongst PC & Xbox gamers taking a nose dive.

    But this one better not suck.

    Vice City was a huge dissappointment.

    And the PS2 hardware is becoming very limiting. Look at the XBOX version of GTA.

    Too bad they're locked into a contract with Sony.

    But, even if it totally blows, it will sell a million copies.

    That would never happen in the PC world. If you produce a shit sequel, you are done.

      Why don't you pull your tiny dick out of the controller port on your XBOX and open your fucking eyes? XBOX is as dead as your whore of a mother.

  8. WTF?! by jrwillis · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why on earth are they developing this for an aging platform?! The PS2 doesn't even support 1080i (which I was hoping they'd support in the next one. Boo Rockstar Games, BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    GTA is a 'great' waste of time. It's a successful game because there are a lot of people out there with way too much time on their hands.
