Looks like the next Grand Theft Auto will miss E3 - but only just

Take 2 - parent company of Grand Theft Auto publishers Rockstar - have revealed that GTA: San Andreas will be revealed for the first time to "key retailers and industry trade publications" in June, meaning that it will apparently not be on show at next month's E3 industry extravaganza.

The next instalment of the hugely successful free-roaming crime-'em-up was finally confirmed by Rockstar at the start of March, although the San Andreas subtitle had been rumoured for well over a year. It's due to hit shelves in October.

Wasting a pretty solid game on a POS console again.

#12.1 oDD on 16 Apr 2004 - 13:50

I agree.. Screw the PS2 and give us a PC and Xbox version with far better graphics than that ghey PS2 system. ARGH.

#12.2 Autoexec on 16 Apr 2004 - 14:08

lol the PS2 is a good solid console, GTA wouldn't give their game to a console which is "Ghey" would they?

i do wish people would discus thier problems with soft/hardware using backed up evidence. So boring when people insist on writing complete bollocks.

#12.3 Beast_4thHM on 16 Apr 2004 - 14:14

NO WAY! THE PC OWNS ALL

#12.4 SecretAgentMan on 16 Apr 2004 - 14:30

Agreed, the PC is much better than any console but to waste a good franchise on a POS console is pathetic.

#12.5 longwilli on 16 Apr 2004 - 22:53

have you played any of the series on the ps2 is a very solid foundation with very good gameplay. i enjoy both the pc and ps2 versions, they play totally differently but both equally good.

It's due to hit shelves in October.

I'll bet 50 greenbacks it'll be delayed. Like all games out there today.

#13.1 gflores on 16 Apr 2004 - 14:50

I think it will too, but I really hope not. It comes like 2 days before my birthday and if I don't get it as a present I'll have to kill someone... hehe j/k or not....

lol its only POS console, cause u havent got one lol screw xbox and gamecube PS2 4 ever (or pc whatever

)

#14.1 philbarnes on 16 Apr 2004 - 16:00

ah but is it worth getting a PS2 to play it ? probably not...

i haven't even had time to finish Vice City on the PC yet !!!

#14.2 SecretAgentMan on 16 Apr 2004 - 16:11

No, I was just smart enough to see through Sonys BS when the PS2 came out and chose to wait for the better consoles to hit the market.

I have all 3 consoles and I still think the PS2 is the worst of the lot. In fact, I think so little of it and play it so rarely, I have loaned it to my sister (it's been gone 3 months now, and I haven't missed it at all). The PC is technically the best games system, but you cannot compare it to games consoles.

No "Xbox is a PC" quips please, because it's clearly not. Everyone seems to forget the graphics hardware in the Gamecube is manufactured by ATI. And that you can run Linux on PS2s with the proper dev kit. So there. :p

#14.4 DrunkenMaster on 16 Apr 2004 - 23:21

And that Xbox basically runs at 640x480 which explains the frame rates and graphics its able to do.

Rockstar is doing this because Sony is paying em big bucks to do it. Don't see Dell or HP paying Rockstar to put the game on the PC first .... though it would be interesting to see this.

#15 Lain on 16 Apr 2004 - 19:32

I SO want this one!! seriously... I have Vice City and GTA III... Games gonna rock!

#16 Kuja on 16 Apr 2004 - 20:37

Mmm... must.. wait.. for... pc port... tasty funness...

Hopefully they bloody implement some freaking pc multiplayer or something. Im tired of having to have to rely on MTA and its buggyness.

Boy, you Xbox zealots must really be harboring feelings of personal inadequacy. I guess that happens when your precious little console gets *owned* in US and worldwide sales.
I have an Xbox, and it's ok. If I could only keep one, it would be the PS2. More games, better games. The difference in graphics is one thing Xbox has, *if* you have an HDTV. Otherwise, the graphics aren't any better. Xbox Live is a nice feature that MSFT seems commited to continuing.
All in all, the PC still has the best graphics, hands down.

#17.1 SecretAgentMan on 17 Apr 2004 - 06:42

Agreed, the PC is the best way to go without question but you have no clue at all when it comes to consoles. The Xbox does have much better games and graphics over the PS2 now.

cry xbox and pc owners..just cry. you wont be getting this for quite a while

#18.1 SecretAgentMan on 20 Apr 2004 - 01:53

Only because Rockstar is selling out to Sony. They would not put out the game for the worst console on the market as an exclusive if Sony was not paying them to do so. The PS2 is all hype and the people with a clue already know this. Unfortunately we live in a world full of ignorant people.

#19 BR3TT on 20 Apr 2004 - 02:37

Hopefully they make a smart move and release the xbox version with the ps2 version & PC....
