San Andreas Stories?

[GTA_dog]

Whatever... the psp has more speed than the ps2! i would guess sas is a go! honestly, if sas wasnt then VCS would be the end for the last gen games. VCS wasnt too popular so R* would fail to give us a final last gen game. it would be depressing.

Yeah, by 34MHz. However, that's only in overclock mode. In default mode (PSP @ 222MHz) the PS2 way overpowers the PSP. However, they don't use the same exact processor so speed doesn't even matter. If the PSP can run a game, the PS2 will have no problem running it. This is a Fact.

Isn't there dual layer UMDs that would double the capacity to 2.6 gigs that would be enough if they used less audio and compressed most of the models.

[darlo_famlies]

the 1.8gb disk is the dual layer, that is why when an iso is compressed, once ripped it will be about 900mb then this allows you to compress even further with somegames, VCS can goto 513mb but all audio is lost

[cold fusion 33]

well if they make SAS they could make it set at an earlier time when san andreas was not so big and was still becoming a large state.

It's amazing how people say "it won't happen" and "it can't be done."

 

They did it on the PS2. So why not the PSP? It's nearly as powerful, they don't need nearly the level of detail in the textures. They Could high compress the audio and/or limit the number of stations. They could put extra radio stations on a second UMD and allow the option of dropping them to 2-4gig memory cards if the player has that available to enhance the expierience.

 

They won't need to remove features. Heck VCS already has swimming, aircraft and watercraft. Saying they can't do it in SAS is like saying man can't fly as a plane flies over your head.

 

The PSP slim has twice the internal ememory so the load times will be less and the slow framerates should smooth out. The processor is now unlocked so speed isn't an issue.

 

They can do it. It's jsut a matter of if or when. SAS would be a great surprise release for Rockstar this fall, but they would be advertising it already if it was going to happen so they could get pre-orders.

 

So we will likely see this game next fall. Given the extra year to develope it, we'll aslo see a game more advanced than anything else we've seen on the PSP so far as they will have the time to tweak it out to the max. The extra year also means they can require the slim version for full capability as it will have been out more than long enough.

This post wins.

I hope they make SAS or LSS, it'd be cool.

You could play as one of those guys Sweet mentions at the beginning of SA, Tony , Little Devil and Big Devil while CJ is in Liberty City. They could even add drama making two of these character die during the game.

I really hope they do it but they should fix the targetting system because it was a bitch in VCS.

[BlackStar2k]

San Andreas Stories would be so cool if it ever came out!

 

It is possible on the PSP, difficult, but not impossible!

I enjoyed SA the most of all GTA's up to now, so a new storyline would kick ass!

[GTA_dog]

A new thought:

 

1. Interiors are just walk in like its part of the outside world

 

2. Remove vehicles

 

3. Take away Liberty City (Even though it's an interior its like putting a city inside a enormouse warehouse! wtf?)

 

4. Cannot interact with people ("Nice Shoes", "Thanks, they cost alot!").

 

5. Radio stations go in a loop.

 

6. Mod Shops?

 

7. Clothes

 

8. Hair

 

9. Tattoos

[Gantons Most Wanted]

1. I agree with you

 

2. Depends

 

3. That wouldn;t be there anywhere it'd be wasted space.

 

4. didn;t really bother me in the first place whther it was there or not.

 

5. They already did.

 

6. With the mod shops i doubt they affected things much but i think this time all the cars should be able to go to the diff mod shops like with wheel arch angel you could only customise like 8 cars there.

 

7. The clothes might not affect things much it just depends whether R* leave some hidden in the files like with S.A

 

8. I think they should have some styles but not loads of pointless ones like the elvis hair.

 

9. I'm not too fussed.

[cold fusion 33]

No way GTA would get rid of its vehicles, it's what lots of the game is based on, it would suck if you did not have them.

[Mr Vecetti]

I doubt they would do it, because it would be set 5 years before when Brian died and that would be in 87 and that's too close to the Vice City timeframe

[jnzooger]

More likely it would be 1-2 years before SA and be told from one of CJ's antagonists' point of view. CJ would be off in Liberty so we wouldn't even be dealing with him. I would guess missions from Woozie, The Truth, Crash (with Tenpenny as a new cop who gets cut off every time he tries to talk), and the GSF OGs that betrayed the GSF.

There is a reason it is called GTA GRAND.THEFT.AUTO, removing vehicles would probably get Rockstar sued for false advertising, and their GTA Gaming franchise would be destoryed over night.

 

another thing, if they cut out the interaction, put maybe Hair Shops and Clothes shop maybe others as downloadable content from either Rockstar or YourPSP.com(although its changed now) one or two modshops that could cater for all vehichles. that are able to be modified on San An.

 

As for radio stations just make them less filled, make some with Air Noise/Coming soon sounds, cut some models out of the games that arnt needed, TV Screens etc, keep some shops in buisness like the odd shop like VCS, get rid of empires, but keep buyable property.

 

Food shops could be linked with the downloadable content or not included. although you could use GYM's?(downloadable?)

Remove Liberty City. Maybe it could Be added as a downloadable content pack also? and interiors?.

 

Summary of D/L:

Shops:

Hair/Tattoo's/Clothes

Food?

Interiors/Exteriors:

LC

Gyms?

[Therman]

they could remove las venturas and make it all deserts with no buildings. if i remember it right i have heard that they say something about that it once was just one big desert before it became a city on the radio. without all the buildings and roads they might save some space. but some people would probably miss las venturas. i hate LV but thats me and i dont know when las venturas was built so they might have to go a little to far behind in time. and they could remove the small towns in the woods and stuff. and of course remove lots of stuff in the cities. but i really think that they should just make it for the ps2 and pc and those cause then they will have no problem making the game

[oipolloi]

I think he was talking about removing SOME vehicles to save space, did you seriously think he was suggesting a version of San Andreas where you have to run everywhere?

 

Personally if there is another PSP GTA (though i hear* the console itself has been a bit of a flop overall) i'd like it to be something totally new, not based on a PS2 game, like a new city somewhere else, with lots of new characters and a new story (which fits in with the other PS2 stories, not the "PS3 series" of which IV will be first). Though it could have some of the cars we've grown familiar with on the PSP (like the square Perennial and MX5-alike Manana) and cameos from characters we know (working Lazlow onto the radio somehow)

 

*-yes, HEAR, i don't know, or care, for certian. Outside of GTA series and Doom all videogames and "tech" stuff bores me to death.

[Vive La France]

God, I hope so. But this time, it needs to be a triad. Or, it could be three games:

 

LSC: Los Santos Stories. San Fierro Stories, and Las Venturas stories. I don't think it could fit on one UMD.

1. Vice City stories didn't have that.

 

2. No, vehicles barely take up even 1mb of space, it would be pointless.

 

3. Yeah

 

4. Thats only a bit of code and sound, would be nice to keep it in.

 

5. OOH No way. The radio has got to kick ass, doing that would ruin it.

 

6. Mod Shops helped San Andreas to be unique. I don't think that it's that big either size wise.

 

7+. Mabye have customizable characters taken out, not sure.

 

 

It's the audio that takes up the most space though.

He doesn't mean that. He said three games. Even then, the three games would be a worse idea. Like I've always said, in every GTA, you unlocked a part of the city or in San Andreas' case, a city after a part of the game and with San Andreas being broken up, you can't do that. San Andreas isn't San Andreas without the three cities together. The LSS, SFS, and LVS ideas are bullsh*t.

[Black7]

Storylines could go a hundred ways. The obvious one being Brians death, or the aftermath of it, with Sweet as the main character. They could also go with a storyline from the latino side, which we didn't see much of in SA. I doubt they'll do a storyline with a complete unknown. Having set a precident with VCS and LCS they will likely go with a key character from the original storyline. This could include any and all of the following people:

 

Big Smoke

Ryder

Sweet

Caesar

Another Latino

Woosie(doubtful since he's blind)

Another Triad

A female Character(a GTA first)

One of the Cops, before he became a cop(The young black one maybe, ex-families member)

 

I doubt they'd do CJ's sister though, she wasn't badass enough. But you never know.

 

I liked San Fiero the most of the 3 cities. But both San Fiero and Las Venturas were way under utilized in San Andreas. They could easily make a whole new storyline from either of these two cities and end back in Los Santos.

[Outlawz101]

Or we could play as that Ballas guy you kill in that mission where you're with Sweet and two other guys, we could see how the Ballas took over while Grove Street had trouble but it wouldn't be good, I'd feel bad during the whole game.

It would be like being a big ass backstabber.

I have said this how many times? I know of at least 3 times.

[Gantons Most Wanted]

No Kane wouldn;t be a strong enough or a key enough character. It would be interesting to play as The Vagos Or Los Aztecaz because not much was mentioned about them.

[Seleets]

San Andreas is never going to be released. If they were going to release it they would have by now. Also if they were goign to release it don't you think they would have said something about it instead of working on a totally new game?

 

R* are now starting work on the GTA4 Trilogy and probably nothing else for a while.

I think you will be Madd dogg, you know what if you don't play as madd dogg I think it's safe to say Carl Johnson himself will vommit with rage

[Baramos]

Well Rockstar Leeds is a seperate group, they can have Rockstar North working on whatever and its not going to affect Rockstar Leeds working on something much at all. The only thing would be how much funding is allocated to Rockstar Leeds.

 

Personally I wouldn't expect an SAS until fall 2008 or spring 2009, AT BEST, however. If they are going to make it; I don't think it would be so much a technical issue as to whether or not it will sell. Personally I think SAS has an even better chance of selling than LCS or VCS simply because San Andreas is the most recent game, but I didn't really look at the sales figures of either of those games. I believe the PSP versions did well but the PS2 did not (I think they would still produce a PS2 version of SAS, however, as at the point they will probably make a profit even if the sales are only as good as the PS2 versions of LCS and VCS; I say this because they went ahead with a PS2 version of VCS even after the supposed low sales figures of the PS2 version of LCS).

 

I think they could do the entire map of SA on a PSP game; I personally think they would HAVE to because as someone mentioned the cities in SA are not segmented, and if they were only going to do one city it would have to be Los Santos Stories, as its the main city in the game. And in my opinion Los Santos would be a pretty boring city to have an entire game all to itself. I could handle a San Fierro Stories or a Las Venturas Stories but I doubt those would ever happen.

 

So it would have to be San Andreas Stories or bust.

 

As to who would be the star? Sweet seems to be the one that would make the most sense; then again it could be characters somewhat unrelated to the GSF, like, I dunno, the unknown brother of Cesar (I say this merely because in VCS you play as Vic, the brother of Lance. Lance helps you in VC, Vic dies in the first cutscene, or is not in the game at all, whatever), him and Cesar take over San Andreas two years before CJ did, but somehow in the meantime all their Empire disappeared or something (however you can justify it in your mind that as of Vice City Vic and Lance apparently had lost 90% of their powerbase or something).
