GTA San Andreas Goes Swimming, Gangbanging, Smuggling

Posted by simoniker on from the positive-role-models dept.

Thanks to Eurogamer for its article revealing a number of new details on Rockstar's forthcoming Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as printed in the UK's Official PlayStation 2 magazine. Topics discussed include the 'invention' of swimming ("We just got pissed off with people saying, 'We can't do swimming'... so if you drive off a bridge you're not going to drown"), the advent of gangs ("You can now recruit a gang and take over territories with them, and then lose territories if you don't look after them. So you've got the idea that bits of the map become personalised to you as much as your own character becomes personalised to you"), and the widening out of the game world ("We love, from a technical point of view, the driving in the open spaces on Smuggler's Run. It's awesome. Now you'll be able to do that in GTA, with all of the GTA gameplay.")

    Something i'm sure the Slashdot crowd is already used to.

    Sadly no mention of supported online play. But I suppose it's still early days.

    It's also useful if you have to try the same mission over and over and over and over...You can just keep playing without begin hindered by menuing system of the game.

    If you want those consequences, feel free to play that way yourself.

    The rest of us are just going to chuckle and/or get pissed off when you suggest we should all play in the masochistic manner you prefer.

    Since this one takes place in the early 90's, I'm hoping we get some Hammer and Vanilla Ice. Espantoso could probably play Rico Suave. (Hopefully Rockstar is watching "I Love the 90's" this week on VH1!)

    Fuck building up stamina. Do the ambulance missions and get infinite run.
