GTA: SAN ANDREAS

Location

* The game will take place in Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fieero (San Francisco) and Las Venturra (Las Vegas) and as well at the countryside in between.

* Each city is about the same size as Vice City, so the game will be more than four times larger as Vice City.

* Not all cities will be open at the start of the game.

* San Fierro (San Francisco) will have hills and its city is more driving based.

* There will be a lot more buildings with open interiors.

Graphics

* New will be real-time reflections on cars, windows, and mirrors, as well as new techniques like radial lighting, which allows for more realistic shadowing, and soft-shadow lighting for interior levels will be present.

* Everything in the game now has independent models for day and night to give better lighting and shadowing.

* The game will have “impact animation”, which is similar to ragdoll physics.

Gameplay

* There will be bicycles.

* In Las Venturra you will be able to buy, build and manage a casino.

* As well you can then gamble your money in the casino.

* Dual wield pistols and some other weapons are new.

* You need to eat to retain your stamina. If you eat too much fast food, you become fat and pedestrians mock you for being fat. You also run slower. To remedy this, you can go to a gym to exercise.

* You can now rob homes, where your skills and planning is required.

* You can recruit gang members.

* Enemies and pedestrians AI will be improved and they will think more logically. Enemies will be smarter, which will make robbing houses very difficult.

Heh...currently (last 2 weeks or so) I've been trying to get 100% on Vice City. I'm at 98%...yet with only two unique stunts to do (and I don't know which ones...).

Anywho, can't wait for GTA:SA. Sounds sweet how large it will be. I hope the cities are a little better designed than Vice City. There are lots of areas that have horrible, horrible roadways (ie, the Mall, downtown by that bridge, airport (no shortcut), and the stupid club). And more buildings sounds cool too. I hope the AI improves. They are pretty stupid right now...

About the food...sounds kind of stupid, making it too much like the Sims (ie, excercising and whatnot). But it might be cool to big out and be a 300 pound criminal, who needs help exiting/entering his getaway vehicle.
