But yeah, it looks ok, not as bad as VC which I thought looked horrible.

I have a dvd drive, not a dvd burner.

When I get it I have no way of putting it onto my other machine.

I.e. I get it, can't put it onto DVD. It'd be ok if I bought it, which I obviously will do.

Confused me until I thought about it, piracy? :ninja:

Anyway, the game looks better, especially with the anti-aliasing going on. I'll probably get it!

*CLAPS*

My god you lot are slow.

If you get something as a DVD and can't burn it, and there is no network to transfer it to the gaming rig before emulating it on a virtual drive you cannot play it. Hence without a DVD burner, I wouldn't be able to play it unless I split it up into little CD disks.

I knew Neowin was full of goodies goodies who buy their windoze and everything but still......

No he's saying he's a warez monkey and he would need a dvd burner to play it because the downloaded ISOs would be too big for a normal cd (which would work on most games as they use multiple cds instead of dvds.)

Guess he doesn't know how to use Daemon Tools then :p

ditto

man my 9700 non pro, 512mb and 2.4 p4 are starting to show its age in modern games.

hopefully it can play this one good though (vice city was looking awesome on my setup)

NICE, i like :)

yeah i have a similar setup and mine is starting to show its age also, still good for a while though, i think in about 6mo to a year ill do a complete upgrade rather then swap out parts....although i got a gig of ram which helps out a TON and i have the 2.66 pushed up to 3ghz

Guess he doesn't know how to use Daemon Tools then :p

God you lot are dense.

Computer 1 - internet, no dvd burner, no network, can't play games

Computer 2 - the one I want the game on, no internet, no network, only dvd reader.

So I get the game have to split it into cd parts burn it then move it all across as cd's.

I'm never posting a reply in a thread like this again, people just get confused.

looks nice-but the graphics look the same as vice city. hope the gameplay is better than ever- havent played/or seen it on ps2.

when is the release date?

edit:

from ign:

pecific date: June 7, 2005 in North America, with a European release following on June 10.

-bYtE,Apr 20 2005, 17:53]I really likted the previous GTA versions but San Andres doesn't interrest me one bit.. I hate the "gangsta" theme of the game, mabye it's because I hate rap music.. I don't know. The game look OK but I don't think I would be getting it though.

Have you actually ever played the game? The whole gangsta theme dies off after you get out of the 1st city and it becomes something else. Sure the character still speaks ghetto but it's hardly like gangbanging is the only theme.

lol.. everyone is saying how amazing it looks..... if u ask me it should just be an expansion for vice city.  or maybe even a mod.

If you ever played the game and saw first hand how insanely big the game space and missions are, you'd know how stupid you sound.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
