Posted by simoniker on from the trailer-trailer-trailer dept.

Oshuma.Shiroki writes "Rockstar Games has launched the official site for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This is particularly notable because it comes complete the very first trailer for the game, as well as some new screenshots. In any case, GTA:SA is due out for PlayStation 2 on October 19th. Head on over and take a look."

  1. A bit US-Centric, and possibly racist too? by Anton+Anatopopov · · Score: 1, Troll
    I can't be the only European who thinks the GTA series of games is rather US-centric? I find it hard to relate to much of what goes on in these games. Why can't Rockstar base one of their games in Continental Europe? It's not as if we don't have crime here.

    Also, am I the only one worried about all the racial stereotyping that goes on in these games? Take a look at the screenshots on that website, they seem to be sending a message that 'people of color' are drug dealers and gun-toting psychopaths.

    It's no wonder the black community in the US feels so victimized with an endless stream of negative images like this.

    Couldn't the bad guys be mexican or white just for once?
