GTA: SA 10th Anniversary

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of the most impactful entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, San Andreas

Rockstar is also marking the occasion by re-releasing the game on consoles and steam with bug fixes :rofl:

This is the first time I've ever camped out for a release.

I stayed up all night, then finally at 7:10 AM, I refreshed the Xbox Live website to find it listed. Keep in mind I also refreshed the website at 7:05 AM, 6:55 AM...

Mind blown. You thought Rockstar were gonna be a bunch of cheap asses on this re-release, no they did alot more than just boost the resolution and draw distance. The whole game is remade flawlessly.

I wonder if people who bought the original version on Steam will get the remake at a discount?

Are you sure about Steam and consoles (as in more than one system)? All I'm seeing is an Xbox 360 version. I really wish the PC version would get updated to add gamepad support.

Did anyone get it yet? I already have it on Steam. Are the graphics really overhauled like The Master Chief Collection?

Which is the same as the Windows Store and mobile versions.

Yes, and its awesome. The graphics are respectively overhauled, they keep most of the poly counts the same while mostly focusing on lighting and textures.

i prefer the PC one still since i can swap out to real cars, pretty much every car ever made in real life has been made for san andreas

Vice City is still my favorite, but the price makes this too good to pass up.

Vice City > San Andreas

The only GTA I bothered to finish was GTA5, yea the writing was atrocious in places and the whole game reeked of sociopathic apathy, but the unsubtle satire of modern society and the action kept it from getting too stale. The other GTA's, yes even including Vice City, got boring several hours into them. Couldn't be helped that the gameplay mechanics were also trashy.

I can do the same thing with the Original Xbox version since my Xbox is softmodded :p. I have real cars along with real restaurants like KFC, Taco Bell, etc. lol. I didn't like the original PC version since you couldn't set the controls on a PC controller exactly like they are on the console version, forcing you to still use the mouse and/or keyboard at times during the game.

I didn't know they had those mods on Xbox. That sounds rad.

I can't believe people still remember that Vice City existed, when San Andreas is around.

I never liked San Andreas all that much, the whole "In da hoodz" setting just wasn't my style.
I liked how there was much more freedom though, but the gangsta setting just wasn't and still isn't my thing.

I remember the first time I played Vice City, and I was like "omg I'm finally back in the 80's!" I was so happy.
(I guess we all eventually miss the days of when we were under 10)

See thats the problem with GTA V, it has no personality.

It isn't about the Mafia in New England
It isn't about a... uh, Miami City setting(haven't played Vice City since 2005)
It isn't about black gangs in Los Angeles

It just has no personality or charm. I haven't even touched story mode since March.

Part of the problem the way I see it, people not only empathise but sympathise with the thugs of GTA games. A thug's a thug, be it a hedge fund manager or a lowly gangster, but GTA has no class altogether. Sort of when the intent behind Scarface was to dispel the enchantment with the sociopathic gangster, only for it to end up reinforcing and even glorifying such an image.

Someone made a mod not too long ago which finally fixes that. Got my Xbox 360 pad hooked up and the game functions perfectly with it. But I guess it's pointless now that we have the new remastered version, haha.

They're just doing what they do to survive.

Except for Michael, who is just a miserable fuck.
