Problem is that Chiliad is supposed to be halfway between Los Santos and San Fierro and in the middle of the state; in real life, Los Angeles and San Francisco are about 6.5 hours apart, so it kills the immersion a bit.

yeah i agree. The fog really made the san andreas feel much bigger than what it is really. Every place felt new and there always was the lost "where the f*ck am i" type feeling when playing original san andreas on ps2 going rural places because the limited visibility. The map feeled like it never ends.

Yeah, especially as a kid. Getting lost in those forests without a car and trying to find a parking lot was fun.

I like the lights to be honest, gives off that vibe that you feel while walking through the street at night. If traffic was lower during the night or if we still had the GHOSTTOWN cheat it would make for a spooky experience to walk through a rival turf at night.

This is making me think about the forests tbh, if moonlight isn't too strong, or in foggy weather. In the middle of all the trees at night, there's potential for it to feel spoopy I reckon.

It looks like the wall texture is new and is not upscaled from the original one. I don't see any patterns like we do in the other ones

Los Santos, probably standing near the SF-LS border. Rockstar uploaded these.

This is the best result I've been able to get for a comparison to the PC version:

 

A whole lot of changes to see in this one!

I bet it will emit light at night

You should post these to the main topic too, it gets way more coverage there. I don't feel right copying this on to that topic.

Am I on cocaine or is this an angle?

@GTAKid667, guess you gotta fly there...

I just checked, that building is there in the game, just the draw distance.

As @SquoniX says, this is just the draw distance not being enough to show that building in my screenshot, here's a look at those buildings a bit closer:

That's absolutely fine, I haven't been able to keep up with that topic with all these screenshots being posted, so feel free to share any there that I don't post myself!

As I said on the other thread, the sky palette in the remaster is waaaay more appealing.

This looks like GTA V minus maybe a few small things but it looks good.

[Gutslab]

eww, bloated ENB mod

What's wrong with this hands?

 

[Cutter De Blanc]

Daytime looks weird, kinda stiff, probably gotta see it in motion

 

Nighttime and evening look great, definitely benefit from the new lighting

What do you mean daytime looks weird and stiff?

I dunno the daytime lighting kinda reminds me of Red Dead 2 on 1.00, more like there's just a giant spotlight in the sky instead of it looking like the sun

 

Its not bad by any means and probably will look better when the game is in action

There are two kinds of sunny weather in GTA San Andreas - Sunny Weather & Very Sunny Weather

 

I'm gonna assume that the screenshot is at it's brightest, so Very Sunny Weather

yeah I am not sure what it is either, I think I am so used to San Andreas's sky being either orange or blue, and this new color palette just needs some getting used to.
