GTA San Andreas Stories (Concept)

[Emperix]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories is Rockstar's Latest Game, released in 2018. It is set in the ficitonal state of San Andreas. This is by far, the largest and most complex game, and definitely without a question, one of the biggest Grand Theft Auto Cities. Like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, San Andreas consists of three fully-realized cities: Los Santos, Las Venturas and San Fierro. The game is set in 1987.

In 1987, the leader of the Grove Street Families, Carl Johnson, moved to Liberty Cityin frustration of Sweet accusing him for the death of Brian Johnson, his brother. It's now up to Ryder, Sweet, and Big Smoke to lead the Grove Street Families. The Grove Street Families have almost been defeated by the Ballas, and the Ballas is making the city tear apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. While he is leading the Grove Street Families, a few corrupt Grove Street Family members frame him for working with the Ballas.

 

Playing as Sweet in 1987 Los Santos CJ would be around but he won't have a big role in fact because this takes place 5 years before the events San Andreas at some point you'd see CJ leave for Liberty City during the story.

A game with Cesar and his time with the Varrios Los Aztecas set before San Andreas.

1970's Las Venturas where we play as a mobster with the Sindacco family.

A game that takes place in 1970's San Fierro

It was the 1980s, where the Grove Street Families were founded by Sean "Sweet" Johnson and became the biggest gang in Los Santos. Now, in the early 90s, things had changed. Drugs are now introduced in the hood, undermining the Grove Street Families members. To make matters worse, Sweet's mother Beverly undergoes a heart condition, which would require a transplant in order to save her life. While being in contact with a loan shark named Black Jack, who has agreed to help the Grove Street Families clean the hood in exchange to pay him back the money Sweet loaned him, Sweet now has to work his way to earn enough money to pay back Black Jack and his mother's heart transplant at the same time while keeping his hood safe from any drug dealers, base slingers, and of course, the Grove Street Families' rivals The Ballas.

A game where you play as Ralph Pendelbury and you initiate the chaos and the crack epidemic in 1987, minors characters would include mentioned ones in cutscenes: Brian, Little/Big Devil, etc. - you play as a CRASH member and your focus is stopping the gang activity but you get dragged in to the dark side by Tenpenny and Pulaski.

I know that is from other topics but it really will be in SAS.

I have question Brian Johnson is CJ's and Sweet's young brother and died in 1987 so in what year he will be born and what age he will have?

The first mission in SAS should take place in Sweet's house (which would be the main character) from information given to us by Emmet about the meeting of the Ballas with the Vagos who want to buy a weapon from the first. Sweet takes a few boys, including OG Loc, wanting him to prove his babble about what gangsta he is. Unfortunately, on the way to the meeting, OG Loc too excited about the action, causes the cullet, and does not reach the place. The GSF reach and break the meeting, stealing a few Tec-9 and puddles.

The next missions are mainly based on the unification of the GSF and attempts to break the Ballas OG and Vagos, which unfortunately, due to the weak weaponry of our countrymen, end in failure or reflection of small areas. Then in one of the tasks by Los Santos follows the transport of expensive cars for export in SF. Greens steal two trucks with cars, and decide to sell them to the Russians. Unfortunately, it turns out that the stolen cars were to go to the FBI, because they learned about the links of the mayor of LS with drug trafficking. Tire attack begins, by anti-terrorists from LSPD. The delivery has been so damaged that the cost of one truck is $ 1,500. Sweet orders to leave the cars in the storm sewers and blow them up. After doing this, Grove attacks the Vagos in order to deflect several former GSF sites.

It so happens that during this time Varrios Los Aztecas stayed with the Vagos, negotiating with Big Pop buying drugs and distributing them. During the exchange of fire, several boys from VLA were killed, hence in '92 of the second year there are disagreements between GSF and VLA. Smoke and Ryder betray Grove, setting up deals with gangs that aim to weaken green positions. Ryder additionally introduces several Ballas members to destroy the OG from the inside. C. R.A.S.H invented with the BS the plan of the green Saber, from which they are to pass the arrows ending Sweet's life, simultaneously ending the existence of the GSF. As we learn from Introduction, Ballas, however, shoot shots towards the home of the Johnson's mother, where CJ later lives.

More soon...

If SA stories will be relased, i want it to be in 1987, one year after VC's events, playing as Ryder and showing the moment since Ryder arrived from Vice City vacantion, and seems that Grove Street Families has problems.

Dude your imagination is amazing,i also would like story like that your idea is amazing.

[IPOPOPPZ97]

BRO THAT SOUNDS LITTTTT

But unfortunately it probably will never happen, you know how Rock-star Games is with their 2D, 3D, HD and soon 4K universes are seperated from each other.

[iiCriminnaaL]

A Stories prequel for GTA: San Andreas could've been cool, but it will never happen, since R* have already closed the 3D era. But if we suppose it would've happened, it wouldn't necessary feature Sean or Brian Johnson as the protagonist. Remember that the game's name is GTA 'San Andreas', not GTA 'Grove Street Families', GTA 'The Johnson Family' or GTA 'Carl Johnson' (ironically, some people have a theory that GTA San Andreas Stories could've featured CJ as the protagonist while he's still in 'Liberty City', in a 'San Andreas' game, lmao).

 

It would've been possible to set an Azteca, Balla, Vago, Triad, or any other gang member, as a protagonist. For me, if there would've been a GTA: San Andreas Stories, I'd prefer to play as Cesar Vialpando, Wu Zi Mu or Kane, because we already played as a Family OG.

 

If we take a look at GTA: Liberty City Stories, we can notice that the protagonist wasn't a close friend of GTA: III's protagonist, Claude, nor a present ally. Toni Cipriani was a mission giver in GTA: III, but he later turned into an enemy since he's a Leone. Not to mention that the friendly Yakuza of GTA III are a rival gang in LCS. Similar in GTA: Vice City Stories, you play as Victor Vance; a minor character of GTA: Vice City. His brother, Lance, who was allied with Tommy, turned into an enemy too, but in VCS, he's always an ally (obviously, since he's the protagonist's brother), and the Vance crime family were the main side. Not to mention, that the friendly Vice City Bikers in GTA: VC are enemies in VCS. That shows that it could've been possible to play as a Balla OG or Vago OG if there was a SAS.

Not a bad idea.

[SpeedWR]

I am very angry that Rockstar has not published the stories of GTA San Andreas, that GTA III had its prequel and VC too, it does not seem fair that GTA Sa has none. Imagine a game in which we saw the death of brayan to characters named in gta sa BIG Devil, Little Devil, or B-dup and Big Bear, member of the grove, and even an officer of Pendelbury as an antagonist or something. GTA LCS, GTA VCS and GTA SAS the GTA Stories Trilogy

[Beato_dim]

LCS and VCS were the games that were made FOR PSP, and the whole reason why the exist is that so there would be portable GTA's. And the state of San Andreas was probably too huge to fit properly on a UMD, thus, no third Stories game.

Some suggest that it can be possible by cutting it down into three pieces: Los Santos Stories, San Fierro Stories and Las Venturas Stories. But of course, three additional Stories titles would've been too much.

What I meant is, it would've been too much to develop for R*. 5 Stories titles, but only two main spin-offs after GTA III .

 

I'd buy them too as well.

[Copcaller]

Cesar would be a good protogainst beefing with families vagos and ballas his relationships with homies like Jose and his Romeo Juliet style romance with Kendal. Plus low rider races

i'd buy them all rockstar needs to chill with gta online and treat og fans well too and forget those kids that buy shark cards

[Eriahslon]

I'd love that concept,but I doubt they would do it.

Been a year since you said this, nothing happened.

Well I might do something about it.

In just a couple of years.

My suggestions are as follows:

-Los Santos Stories - you play as Leroy Carson Williams, a lowlife GSF gangbanger who leaves the gang, joining the crack trade with Tenpenny and the Ballas. He's conflicted because he has a sick sister whom he has to support and lives in poverty, Sweet's morals about no drug dealing make the GSF become weaker and weaker and poorer as a result too. Starting to lose his touch with the gang, he defects and joins the Ballas and as a result later kills many GSF OG's and gains the street nickname "Little Weasel" for being a snitch and a traitor. Set in 1987.

-San Fierro Stories - you play as Tiago "T-Bone" Mendez, the son of Salvador Mendez, the leader of the powerful Mexican San Fierro Rifa gang. Salvador is killed early on by the rival Mexican Mafia who occupy the North-West part of Fierro, leaving T-Bone to become the leader of the struggling gang. Since the Da Nang Boys didn't come to the US until the early 90's, there is space for other gangs, including the allied African-American Flats who mostly hang out in the Queens and Ocean Flats areas and are involved in arms dealing and drugs, the Industry Boyz, another African-American gang who serves as an early rival to the Rifa and end up being wiped out soon, they occupy Doherty and Easter Basin, and the mentioned above Mexican Mafia. T-Bone works his way to inflitrate the dark corners of San Fierro in order to find the killers of his father. Set in 1987 as well.

-Las Venturas Stories - a proper attempt at a Mafia story, this time you play as Franco Vettorello (seen in the Introduction burying someone), a capo of the Sindacco Family who are well established in Las Venturas already but slowly start losing influence due to uprises of other street gangs and mafia families. You spend your time working for other members of the Sindaccos and set up alliances or make new rivals with other gangs in Venturas, including the African-American Rockshore Block, the Mexican Venturas Alley Crew, Albanian Mob, Russian Mafia and Marabunta Grande in the desert area. Set in 1991.

I wish Rockstar released SAS in 2007. They couldn't do it on PSP because of the PSP limitations for the map. But they could do it on PS2 and later Xbox and PC.

Maybe they didn't wanted to do it because of the Introduction. If SAS was released I think Rockstar would explore other gangs than Grove Street Families.

In LCS it was Leone focused(enemies in GTA III) and in VCS it was about the Vance Empire(given to Ricardo Diaz,enemie in VC). So maybe if SAS existed it would be about a rival gang,or a gang that in SA doesn't exist. 

I think that SAS would be:

Los Santos Vagos/Los Varrios Aztecas or a gang that dissapears before 1992 is your gang.

New vehicles,guns,and changes to the map.

Empire Building from VCS could return.

The pager could return.

The stats from SA,the girlfriends,the schools,the clubs,and some SA characters are cut.

New secondary missions appear like selling and buying drugs,cracking safes,traffic people,rob and sell weapons,...

Some SA vehicles are removed.

The stadium events are removed.

The game would be set in 1987,mainly in Los Santos.

The game would have between 50 and 80 missions.

 

[Billy Russo]

I would have loved a San Andreas stories game with Cesar, tbh. Always thought he could have been a good protagonist. He had everything a protagonist needs to have.

[Ray Carter]

I know some people argue that the short movie The Introduction removed the need for a prequel but I think the main reason was technical limitations. GTA San Andreas was the biggest game in the series with the map, vehicles and other game play features. Even many of the textures in the GTA 3 map were compressed or replaced with lower quality versions in order to fit onto a PSP game.

 

I think San Andreas Stories would have probably at least been a Los Santos Stories instead. The Map would have been redesigned to just include Los Santos along with many other technical changes such as reduced texture quality and a few changes to the city to reflect the different time setting such as buildings being constructed or former buildings not yet demolished. Several mini-games and role play elements would have likely been removed too. It wouldn't have had the wide variety of vehicles GTA San Andreas had either, and probably based closer on the vehicles featured in GTA Vice City. I would also guess that Cesar Vialpando would have been the protagonist and possibly been about the founding of Varrios Los Aztecas. As Cesar introduced Carl to Woozie and Catalina, they would have been supporting characters to the story. Kendl might have been featured at one point, but I doubt would have given any missions.

[Midnight Hitman]

Maybe R* suprises us all and releases GTA San Andreas Stories on PS2, PSP, Xbox and PC during 2020.

Smoke ran the families after Sweet gone to prison and C.J gone to Angel Pine with C.R.A.S.H

I think that if there were a San Andreas Stories, it wouldn't relate to CJ so personally at all. I understand everyone thinking of Sweet or Ryder as the protagonist, but San Andreas had such a large cast of characters and so many story arcs, that almost anyone could be a protagonist, if this is a prequel. Basing my ideas off the patterns of LCS and VCS, the game might start off in Las Venturas or San Fierro, and focus on a different faction before the events of San Andreas. At some point, I'd imagine that you would have to do missions in Los Santos, and that's when Grove Street Families might play a role. I think this would be towards the end of the game. I could also imagine Sweet/Ryder/Smoke making a cameo in a mission's cutscene, rather than being main characters outright.

we could play as ryder because he is an antagonist in gta sa 

[Diwhrvifbs]

I would love to see a San Andreas Stories game get released, especially since Rockstar has confirmed the 3D era isn’t necessarily over

[Ash-JAY]

TBH The idea is pretty good.

But playing as a member of grove street would feel repetetive if you ask me.

What I mean is that in SA Stories the story should be based in SF or LV.

 

If its in SF then preferably we play as a member of the Triads, working under Wu-Zi-Mu.

 

And if it is in Las Venturas then playing as a representative of the Mafia would be pretty Badass.

 

Some missions will take place in other cities same as it did in GTA:SA.

Edited November 14, 2020 by Ash-JAY
Some typos

[avatarsd]

I loved the idea and I'd be so excited if Rockstar announced another game portraying other cities in San Andreas. 

 

If you guys haven't seen, I'll post my maps for a San Andreas Stories idea down below :

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

[DR Cherry Bomb]

What can you do? It's 2022, last 3D era game was in 2006. There's no way iz' gon' happen yo, we're all talking about something that doesn't and will never ever exist (unless someone has the effort and dedication to create a total conversion mod for this wasted prequel, but that requires lots of knowledges and experiences so that's a pretty low bar too). So yeah, everything that speaks of it is just ideas... I guess.

 

I gott-a say though, I absolutely hate how most of the ideas is just Ryder being the protagonist blah blah blah. Well excuse me because I don't wanna play as a GSF OG again, the original SA game has you already doing that (even though that's until you are sent to the countryside, but after you release Sweet from jail you go back to the turf sh## so yeah but that's not the point here anyway). And if we follow the same exact footsteps in storyline as SA, that'd be generic as f### (no offence, sorry if I offend anyone). Like bruh, you guys literally call this prequel "San Andreas Stories", that means the game literally revolves around the entire state in San Andreas! Not just Ganton, Grove Street, Los Santos, etc.

I mean, you didn't LCS and VCS being exactly the same in everything in storyline as III and VC respectively. Heck, in fact, in LCS, you play as one of the f###ing high-ranking Leones! One of the antagonistic gangs (technically mobs lol) in III (after you kill Salvatore)! Now, see what I'm getting at? In summary; let's try something different from GSF in this prequel.

 

My ideas? Well, I know a character who has lots and lots of opportunities to shine in a prequel like this. Who? Correct, T-Bone Mendez! This guy had potential that needed to shine. We would see how he made connections with Jizzy, Toreno, etc, how the Loco Syndicate was being in its beginning stages, how the Rifas became who they are now and how they made bad bloods between them, the Aztecas, and the SF Triads, etc. The Loco Syndicate had so many potential! But it's unfortunate their not only their lore but most of the other things too weren't explained in a prequel and you always had to rely on head-canon.

 

Though if this stories game was gonna feature the three-protagonist system then well...

Los Santos Stories: Some Vago or Balla OG.

San Fierro Stories: T-Bone Mendez.

Las Venturas Stories: A "made" Sindacco.

 

But those are just my ideas y'know. R* would have made things settled if they released a damn prequel.
