>Released in 2004
>Still the best open world game of all time
I'm literally replaying it right now and it's more fun now than it was back then. Will any open world game ever top San Andreas?

Peak Rockstar before GTA online

Looking back, it's fucking amazing Rockstar managed to fit so much content on a single PS2 disc. How the fuck did they do it? San Andreas was huge back then and even in today's standards it's still fucking huge. Also, SA was so good that Rockstar blew their load way too early and has never made a game as good

I remember playing samp with my friend, that shit was crazy fun

It's possible to make something so good that everything else will be shit by default

Also: what do you think, will we ever have a remake?

Fucking hope not.
Besides, wasn't 5 essentially a remake of the setting, and a very unfaithful one?

I would kill my first born son for a San Andreas remake but I don't think Rockstar will make the effort to fully remake San Andreas. They didn't even bother to add San Fierro and Las Venturas in GTA V. Rockstar is too focus on scamming retards online than putting effort into a masterpiece single player experience like SA

Only Franlin's gang related missions were like SA but it's not the 90s

Interesting video about SA attention to detail
Some of these will seem commom stuff, but remember this game was made in 2004

Not the plot, the setting of San Andreas. "Grove Street" just looks like a shitty culdesac, no bridge, no old houses.

How come no one is doing a online mod with GTA V? Rockstar would sue your ass to obvlion but some russian dude could host it

One of the best qualities of SA was that you could DO SHIT! Like, you could go fuck around with stuff and have fun for literally hours.

While in IV and onwards they focused so much on making the games realistic that they forgot that a game is supposed to be fun, first and foremost. Once you beat them, there's literally nothing interesting to do. A shame.

Almost. RIP youtu.be/_droIN7FJOU

Why did rockstar killed the fun for "muh realism" in GTA?

Jesus everything kills you without problem in GTA V meanwhile in SA you can have fun without problems

It seemed like Rockstar didn't know what the fuck to do with GTA V. They didn't know if they wanted to be realistic like GTA 4 or fun like San Andreas and it felt so disjointed.

This. Goddamn there is so much side content in GTA SA it's unreal. You can do only the story missions and then spend more hours doing the side shit that the actual story shit.

ROCKSTAR

it gets really boring when you get to that las vegas city

It built on the success of two games with the same engine and share their resources. When they started over with a new engine for 4, they had to redo the graphics and everything. Graphics take the most effort and add the least to gameplay.

Hired

Las Venturas was based

Why rip

do they actually come after you to kill you? thats cool

This is really problematic. It perpetrates the stigma that fat people are fat because they eat a lot, while in fact most of them exercise a lot and eat healthy.

Yeah, if you have significant debt you get threatening phone calls and some dudes in a car will chase and shoot you. It's shit like this that makes it such a good game, I played it over a decade ago and I still find out new things about it today.

For a moment I thought you were serious

>driving around the country side in a buffalo
>freebird blasting
>get a long stretch with a bit of downhill
>get to max speed
>camera starts shaking

I CANT CHAAAAAAAAAAANGE

thats neat.

fat people are fat because of frequency of eating more than quantity.

t. fat ass

Do gta 4 & 5 have great music/radio soundtrack like SA?

4 had a few bangers if i remember, 5 has budweiser music. and that one song from tony hawk 3

GTA 5 is better.

First for fuck this guy

BOO

The majority of the map is pointless and empty. The mountain is crap, you'd never go to the desert without the airfield being there, the upper left town is only useful for the completely useless boat school and one inexplicable gang territory, there's no reason to ever go back to the small towns except easy ambulance missions and Las Venturas is a big heap of shit compared to SF and LS. Oh and all the water is an empty waste of space.

pleb

I hope they never do a remake or remaster because they will just screw it up and it ends up being soulless

>that one song from tony hawk 3
this one?

no, the one that goes

you idiot

the song is AMOEBA

game developers sell games to make a profit. if people buy shit games anyways there is no reason to make good games.

Cancelled. Last update was 2012

Google "2004 video games", it was a very eventful year.

Because in the age of the CD, games HAD to be good or the company struggled to make due. It was literally a "make good shit or die" industry, as patches didnt exist so any glitches were there to stay.

Moving to mobile distribution platforms was a big part in why we get shit games, that and because big name devs can release literal garbage on a plate and people will STILL buy it, (see fallout 76) even though it was widely hated by everyone, it still made a profit by 2 million dollars.
Shit sucks yo, uninformed normies basically are ruining this industry because they dont want to stop buying shitty games and praise them as being good
