OH YEAH! Who called it? I CALLED IT, THASSRIGHT! *raises the roof*

EDIT: I notice the (relatively) close release date. I like how they don't announce stuff until they've got it practially finished.

They're nice that way. This reminds me of an argument I had with somebody on SB.com about why Las Vegas is a crappy setting for a GTA game... I said San Andreas would be better. Well... r0x0r me!

Huzzah!

But it makes me wonder where they'll set any future games since all the GTA original cities have been used. They did have a London 1969 add-on ages ago, so maybe a remake.

Let's hope that this time around they make sure you can't drown in knee-deep water. That and they give you some kind of swim meter.

I was hoping for that in GTA: VC, it did get a bit odd when I could survive a SWAT van ramming me at 50mph yet I drowned in knee-deep water.

What exactly is San Andreas?
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Is there a submarine I'm unaware of?

No, it's just taking advantage of programming quirks.

Bah, you know what cheat rocks? The one where you can get cars to work on water, they pull a DeLorean like thing as their wheels flip 90 degrees.

I'm wondering what the gangs will be like in GTA: SA. I hear there's a rap theme to it and may be set in modern day. I'm hoping no rap to be honest.

Tell you what, in a few weeks, when I'm at my dads, I'll take a screencap.

I'm hoping that you could form your own gang, and ally with some gangs while fighting with others. But, if you make enemies with one gang, they don't go shooting at you whenever you walk through their part of town. Not being able to go anywhere without people shooting at you late in the game took a good amount of fun from GTA III.
