GTA : San Andreas Gone Gold?

Thanks to still_sick, who alerted us that GTA: San Andreas has probably gone Gold. From the Inside Gamer Article: "Arguably the most anticipated game for the Playstation 2, GTA: San Andreas is gold. In a report confirmed by Inside Gamer Online's own Steve Dotolli, GTA: San Andreas is finished and looking great. GTA: San Andreas is the latest in a series of Grand Theft Auto games that only became popular when GTA 3 came out for Playstation 2. "

I'm thinking the poster meant more of a mainstream popularity. Everyone and their brother has played GTA3 / GTA4, and the mainstream media didn't really pay attention to the series until GTA3. GTA1/2 maybe have been somewhat popular amongst the "gamer" crowd, but fewer casual gamers were into it.

It's Okay

It's okay. We can all admit it. Here, I'll start:

I just peed my pants in joy.

Ok, go on. Your turn!

Why do you feel bad? You made some polygons collide with some other polygons by pressing a button? Whatever man, whatever..

Absolutly right. However you have to appreciate GTA 1&2 for their heritage value. They were brilliant, I can remember only having the demo until i got the full game of GTA1 and it kept me entertained for days upon end.. Are you saying that when it came out you were like, Oh this is shite! I want a 3d environment with all futureistic stuff. I bet you were loving it like every one else! GTA 1 has to be the best of them all in its own right, without it we'd all be lost.

Deffinatly, you can have full concept that its a machine displaying a lot of pretty colours. But when those colours come together to represent something, it triggers emotions and feelings that you would normaly experiance as if it was real. Its like art work, only with the ability to do as you please and satisfy the curiosity of doing it in real life. sorry to go on but i think that games like this would actually discourage violence as the need for it is released harmlessly in a virtual world. you know!

You can think of it that way if you want, but Rockstar would disagree. From what I hear, they see Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas as a trilogy forming the third generation of Grand Theft Auto, as they're all based on roughly the same engine. GTA4, the next generation, is probably just starting to be developed.
