GTA San Andreas: Have you seen Bigfoot?

Quote -
Maybe it's madness. Maybe they know that their £50 is safe in their wallets. But PSM2 magazine are offering a £50 bounty for the first confirmed sighting (and slaying?) of 'Bigfoot' in GTA San Andreas.

Speculation has been rife since the game's release that somewhere in the woodlands of the million-seller lurks Bigfoot. Other rumours suggest that a leatherfaced crazy-man (known as - hey! - Leatherface) lives in a shack in the woods. Still more believe that Piggsy, the mind-scarring 'star' from Rockstar's infamous Manhunt, lives somewhere in the game. Well PSM2 want to settle the score once and for all - and are prepared to pay for evidence.

They want your proof. Capture the mysterious woodland fiend (be it man or beast) on VHS tape (plug your PS2 into your video's SCART socket and hit record) and, if you deliver the first confirmed evidence of the Beast of The Panopticon, they'll send you fifty of the queen's.

But that's not all. Witnessed the lights in the sky? Seen a random plane crash? Or have you been chased by the haunted, driverless car? Whatever you have witnessed, PSM2 want to know about it. They want your digipics, videos and written accounts and will make you famous in the process. Describe your discovery (and include pics if you have them) and send it to daniel.dawkins@futurenet.co.uk

Got a VHS tape of San Andreas weirdness (be it deliberate or a glitch)? Or do you want to make history and claim that Bigfoot Bounty? Send your VHS tapes to San Andreas Weirdness Watch, PSM2 Magazine, Future Publishing, 30 Monmouth Street, Bath, BA1 2BW.

PSM2 will feature full reports in an issue coming soon and we'll keep you updated too on gamesradar.com.

Sorry to dissapoint you all, but Bigfoot was just a rumor started at GTAForums.com smile.gif

I was just talking on mIRC to the rumor creator.. biggrin.gif

Ive seen UFO's and random plane crash's.

One crashed on the south beach While i was running about with a flame thrower.
Was a Twin prop plane.
Vice
My friend was telling me about GTA:SA and he mentioned some of the great stuff and he said "you even see bigfoot" he dont even have a computer so he must have seen it himself in the game..
TheNay
Has anyone got into the Area 51 part yet? I wonder whats in there and if they let u in... smile.gif
Colicab
A mate and I played it one night and whilst flying one of the Private Jets we saw a white light in the sky in front of us. It was moving fast and left a trail behind it, we followed the trail but it was moving so fast we couldnt keep up, is that by chance one of the UFO`s?
Osiris
The Area 69 as they call it in the game is just a military base, you get to break in their in one of the missions, and even in non missions its not avertly difficult to get into, hell you can climb the fence, but youll get 5 stars for doing it...

all thats in there is some chopers, tanks and jeeps.
jazmon
i was driving a bike real fast across the woods when suddenly i thought i saw bigfoot. when i turn and went back. nothing was tehre. i could have swore i saw something. i have picture a ufo. just there. floating. a plane crash just about 5 steps from where i was standing taking my last photo op. that was weird.

I hope to god you're right about that. But it still doesn't explain what that thing behind the tree is unsure.gif



We took the photo a few days ago and we've been trying to get it to happen again on a bigger TV and with one of us in the photo because I'm sick of little hoaxsters. No luck as of yet but fingers crossed happy.gif

Feel free to e-mail me about any questions, we'll try and post an FAQ as soon as we can get some harder evidence. Could be the hardest £50 we ever earned.

just wanting to see if bigfoot is actually in gta:sa is making me want to buy it.....i wanna delve in teh secrets of the game.
JMann
If you go to GameFAQ there are tons of threads about this, and also reports that a guy looked at the GTA source code and says that there is a 1 in 50 chance of seeing it. smile.gif

1 in 50 what? Times playing the game?
StangLX331
Don't know if anyone has noticed but if you look in the instruction manual on the second to last page were is says thanks to: it says big foot. So not sure if that means that he is in the game but i can't think of any other reason for it being there.
inum
damn, this is getting interesting.. ufos, manhunt etc.. cant wait unitll this is out on PC
Laughing-Man
I have only encountered two random plane crashes and they both occured by the docks near the airport by San Fierro. The only other weird thing I have seen is an abandoned hotdog truck in the middle of the woods hidden by some bushes. I seriously would not be suprised if there is a ton of stuff hidden in the game like bigfoot, pigsey, etc. Also there could be stuff hidden under the water and I am sure no one has really looked there.



****SPOILER****
Area 69 is also the place where you get the jetpack for the Truth. Then it spawns at your airfield if you bought it.

Ok, there heaps of talk bout bigfoot. This guy even made a Bigfoot hunting diary... Guess he has to much time on his hands,

Theres tonnes of stuff in the game
as email says below.

Dear Consumer,

Thank you for your interest in our technical support, Unfortunately at this time we are unable to release full details about all the hidden surprises Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has to offer, however i can promise you we have hidden a bunch of easter eggs. Be on the lookout, because you are bound to find something lurking on the mountain tops, or swimming on the ocean floor. You might even see some unwelcome bodies hidden in the wheat fields. There are over 30 Easter eggs that are not discussed in the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Official Strategy guide, however we will most likely post them at a later date. Thank you for your E-mail and i hope this helped solve some of your problems

Thank you,

Rob Newkirk

CJ moms ghost - FALSE! Her picture is in the Johnson home. That is all.

Ghost Cars - Exists. Go in Back o Beyond and go to where the two horseshoe looking things on the map, go on the left one to see a battered up glendale(car) drive down the hill.
Another, a ghost in a battered up Clover(car) or a Sadler(Truck) will follow you on the interstate right near back o beyond and pull over and get out and punch Carl a few times then drive off. (Only on Foggy nights)

I found something weird yesterday. There is a place in the boonies called "Shady Lake" or "Shady River", something like that. Well anyway if you go aound the lake/river edge in the forest there is sort of a cabin surrounded by trees covering it up. You can go inside of it, but it is completely empty. The weird thing is, when you step inside the cabin it says "Shady Cabin" like you are entering a new area. I stayed in the area for a complete 24 hours, but nothing. It is just a little strange there is an empty cabin in the middle of the woods called "Shady Cabin". shifty.gif

I realize it's a fake, but for those of us living under rocks, is there someplace to see the original pictures that he posted that fooled everyone?

Indeed sir.. Apparently the sasquach theory thing is supposed to live there or when its foggy bigfoot comes out... Hard chance of seeing all these things but cool to have em..

As for getting pictures.. People talk but no pictures.. I guess if you have PC its easier but i dont know where to pictures of all of these.. best try google search.

Thats the place to be.
Is michael jackson in the game ?
I read this reader kidnapped a kid from town and tied him up in the forest and car filled with explosives.. then after 24 hours MJ came and was blown up.
No offense to MJ. I haven't played the game too much... so excuse me for anything stupid i say...

Can you kidnap people in SA?

I don't think so. I stood there for 24 hours ingame and it was foggy as hell at night. Nothing happened at the cabin. I just think it is strange that it treats the cabin as a new area in the game and that it is completely abandoned in the middle of nowhere.
milkman
Hmm dunno then.. DEFINETLY something should happen.. maybe if you were around the cabin.. but yeah im pretty sure that something will happen..

If you can .. visit it now and then if your keen about it but i wouldn't.. never know what'll happen..

Some are begining to think it doesn't exist.. or there is hardly a chance of seeing it...

Some claim to have seen it but it might just be a tree...

Theres so many false pictures.. real pictures... its still not confirmed

But with the pictures seen before i think it does exist just hard to see...

There was one thats been confirmed as being fake - that doesnt mean R* havent put something similar somewhere in the (huge) game. Don't be a petty arse.

Bigfoot or not, this thread would do great for an all-around "San Andreas Easter Egg" thread.

Hahaha. That made me laugh.

I had that experience too. I was riding my bike really fast in some wooded area and I could've sworn I saw BigFoot. And as you know it, when I turned back to check what it was, it was gone. I always have a feeling that it runs out of a secret cave or something only to spy on me and suddenly run away really fast, fast enough to be gone by the time I can even lay my eyes on it.

I also seen it when I was driving a car over a hill at night. Maybe it's someone dressed up as BigFoot in the game? whistle.gif
The Black Dahlia
i think the pictures of bigfoot leaned against a tree seem to be way more logical i mean big foot creeps out trees in real life why not in the game as well, and plus his graphics seem to be strangly different to CJ...hmmm
