The New "For Honest Mythbusters" Thread

[PopeManJim]

So this thread is a throw back to to an old thread that a buddy and I created many years ago, 2005 to be exact. 

 

With they trilogy on the horizon, just hours away. We're looking to fire things back up! Its funny how GTA 16 years latter can still suck us down the "Rabbit Hole". Coming back to the GTAForums for Easter Eggs and Mysteries. Obviously times are different and technology has changed and over the years GTA SA's original code has been ripped to shreds. That said, there are still questions that remain.  Rockstar has proven time and time again that their secrets run deep with some easier than others to discover. The good news is that Rockstar listens to the community. Bigfoot, Aliens, and deep time chained sequenced mysteries have appeared in GTA V and Red Dead. Time chained Easter Eggs kept the GTA V Bigfoot secret hidden for a good little while. If there truly was never any time chained Easter Eggs back in 04/05 in GTA SA like we Mythbusters had believed that would mean that we, the community gave Rockstar the idea to do this in the future. Unless in fact there was truth to some degree that has yet to be discovered in SA......

 

With all that being said, we feel it could be possible that like Rockstar themselves listed GroveStreetGames has been listening too. With the improved mechanics for controls I would have to guess that the original GTA Code has been altered. Meaning it could be possible some of the mysteries of the past could potentially, if never real, be brought to life! I mean if I was writing code for new mechanics and features I would for sure drop some pretty cool stuff in. 

 

As this is a call back to the original thread. Lets start there. Ill quote the post that started the threat back in 05 and we can move on from there. 

 

"I am sick and tired of people lying about seeing aliens or piggsy on GTA San Andreas, so I made this forum so honest mythbusters such as myself can have a place to discuss our findings and hopefully find the big secret. So here it goes. I am proud to introduce the very first honest mythbusting forum. Here is one of my most favorite myths "Piggsy." I believe Piggsy, an over weight man with a chainsaw and pig mask in Manhunt, is somewhere in GTA San Andreas. Why? Well there are plenty of clues.

1.) There is a Piggsy action figure in Zero's RC shop. It is placed on a rack next to the store counter alongside many other action figures from the GTA Vice City and Manhunt game. Yet it is the only action figure with the character's name "Piggsy" on the box.

2.) During the mission "The Meat Business" CJ finds himself in a meat processing factory. There are many boxes all around the factory and on some of the boxes there is a picture of Piggsy. You can see his face on some of the boxes in the picture on this website. one of the rooms on the top floor. The blueprint is actually a blueprint of the Starkweather Estate, which is where piggsy was located in Manhunt.

That is why I believe Piggsy is out there somewhere. What do you think?"

 

We would like to invite you on this adventure of the past with us and see what, if anything we can uncover. Eventually rallying a group of individuals that have as much passion and drive for GTA SA as we do. Looking for things like the mysterious 12:30 that is stamped on the wheelchair at Fisher's Lagoon, Looking for answers as to what the crazy black trench coat wearing man at the Big Ear is talking about, diving into the old timestamped sequences of the past in the Back O Beyond, and much more. Feel free to jump into the discussion with any and all answers or mysteries you may have or want to look for.

I'm like Trevor from GTA 5. I'm an honest, kind man. A righteous man. As I delve deeper and deeper into the Rabbit's hole I pledge to report back to this thread nothing but the truth regarding the secrets and myths the world of San Andreas.

Congratulations, you my friend have made the cut!

Thanks for making this thread! Mystery hunting stuff is always entertaining, and I can't say I've never been involved in one of these things many years ago, especially with GTA V.  

 

It looks like there's a lot of random added details to all of the games, including SA, so revisiting some of the old myths and locations might be worth it as soon as people start getting the games unlocked. I'm sure there's going to be attempts at game file digging, or any other kind of digging to try and find stuff.

 

Edit: We still have the OG secrets & Easter eggs topic in the Guides section too!

I have the game downloaded. Work till 6:00 PM tonight. I'll be on tonight all night. Going to see how much of the Map I can unlock. After the Map is unlocked things will really get kicked off. Like GTA V, I believe we will need 100% for some mysteries. Anyone who has links to old Bigfoot or Aliens threads with theories for time chained events I would be more than happy to take a look at them. Ill be writing up a post this weekend with everything I can find. 

 

Another topic I would like to explore is the Blue and Black Hell. I do wonder if they still exist. Ill be finding out tonight.

“81 Years Too Late — Spend 24 hours on foot in the countryside (looking for Big Foot).

I see that this may be an achievement due to a leaked achievement list. Interesting honestly. "81 years too late" would make it 1911 from 1992 (when GTA SA takes place). 1911 is when RDR 1 took place. In RDR 1 we kill the "last" remaining bigfoot in a side mission.

Unfortunately it seems that GSG hasn't studied GTA lore and has "fixed" the blue lights from some buildings, that fans have always speculated to hint Epsilon Program activity (Though I've only checked this building and at least the tractor still spawns blue)

The warmer lighting also makes the whole scene less haunting   

 

Now that there are npc variations too, I hope they knew not to make color variations of the "backpacker" npc. At least the ones I encountered at Verdant Bluffs all had correct blue sleeping back.

Has anyone searched for the Bigfoot footprints that were scattered around the wilderness of the Badlands in the original game as of yet? Can anyone confirm if they are still in the game, or are they now obscured due to the new grass textures and ground layering? It would be a bummer if they are obscured now.

Wheelchair at Fisherman's Point is just a normal wheelchair now. The whole area is less creepy. Palamino Creek grave still glows, but they changed the Drive-Thru Confessional to a Drive Thru Wedding Chapel
