if they brought back the same mood, same cheat code but bigger world and continuation of story or something...with the same feel of the PS2 GTASA...What do you think people would do? I'm thinking PS3 seller. No, I don't mean a remake or a port...I mean a sequel. I mean think of GTA4 but in San andreas with an even bigger map and more cars and more everything. I mean a continuation not a remake.

I would buy the game, but I don't think it would move too many systems. There have been many many great PS3 exclusives and none of them really moved any systems.

I don't mean a remake. i mean a sequel in San Andreas where CJ comes back and stuff. I mean the same world-except bigger. Pretty much everything the San Andreas offered and more since its next gen...

One character won't sell a console. Maybe Rockstar will re-release the 3 last gen GTA games in HD like the makers of God of War did. But that's the only way CJ will ever come back.

EXACTLY...i loved the whole gang theme at the beginning, i really wanted to know more about grove street and have adventures with them...look how that turned out

that's why i loved SR...it had a true gang feel to it and it's why i overall like the feel of the SR series more than the GTA series

Yeah, it'd probably push some consoles like MGSIV did in it's first month. Any exclusive GTA would.

CJ was a bit too much of a whiner for my blood though.

Why would they do that!?

CJ's story is over, he's traveled his path and all that would do is ruin him as a compelling character with a tale of his own. What makes GTA unique is all the greeat supporting characters, and the way the world comes together to bring you tales from the GTA world without DBZing one characters tale far after it should have been over.

Its gonna happen, just wait. Vice City again, then San Andreas pt II. It won't be exclusive though, and even so this is a very optimistic what if thread.

San Andreas was generic and CJ was an awful character. GTA III and Vice City were masterpieces. San Andreas and GTA IV were jokes.

I do think they will remake Vice City, and eventually a very large, grandiose San Andreas with remade locales and all the next gen trimmings. It definitely won't be exclusive (well, it could be if MS or SonyREALLY wanted, like above 50 mil wanted), and it definitely won't be the same.

No I was just picturing the popularity of San ANdreas and every single person I've spoken to about the GTA series have agreed that SA is still the best. So I was thinking with the reputation SA has and with a familiar character. I'm thinking it will draw a few people back to Playstation. But I'm Thinking and I'm asking what you think...Please state your opinion without ruling out mine.

Ooooh. Sorry, but if your friends all think SA > VC it's quite possible they didn't even play VC, or they are casual gamers. SA has the coolest features, flying planes, parachutes etc., but Vice City is BY FAR the best GTA. I don't think anything will ever match the feeling I got when I first played it. I called in sick for two days to play it.

This brings back memories :P :

Listen close, as life turns its pages
Makaveli here, kickin' rhymes for the ages
Seen things in stages, wise words spoken by sages
From SkyTel to BlackBerry pages
Your crew don't phase us, we'll make you bustas pay us
Run up in your spot like CJ from San Andreas


I wrote this song a long time ago
A real long time ago
Feel me!
I wrote this song a long time ago
It was the dopest song I ever wrote... in '94

Ahhhhh! Dave Chappelle brings back memories. I wish that show was still on, or at least lasted another couple of years. There is a real dearth of good sketch comedy out there now.

Well, obviously I can't put a PS3 game in my PC, or my Wii, or my Xbox 360, so obviously that little Blu-ray disk of mine -- if I were to buy it -- would go in my PS3.

So what'll this cost... $250 million?

I'm actually getting pretty tired of big-budget games, they make me very pessimistic about the future of the gaming industry; as does the profit-over-gamer happiness business model. San Andreas was a great game, and cost less to make than GTAIV; I say leave it where it is and just do a re-release on the new consoles with no updates except to framerate.

When CJ moved away I don't think he was any older than 16... A prequel wouldn't really do him much justice.

SA was an amazing game, but definitely not the best. Vice City is unanimously the most favorite for most people I know, while GTA IV has reviewers loving it for the mature, polished direction it went in. So, SA isn't the best, but its still good.

Lol wut? Are you HONESTLY saying that they should re-release SA, WITHOUT ANY UPGRADES?! I'm truely sorry, but that takes asinine to a whole 'nother level.

Anyway, I would buy it, if ir also releases on the 360 & has UPGRADES.

Would anyone care? Every GTA game is the same to me, the characters and story line don't mean a thing. I do the missions just to unlock the whole map and then it's all about causing carnage with cheats.

I think Rockstar and other companies should start re-releasing their old games on PSN and XBLA, remastered at 1080p (if possible) and 60FPS. I think Vice City and San Andreas rereleases could enjoy decent sales. They should at least do it for the 360, since its architecture is so similar to the PC anyway.

[EDIT] Didn't see your post there foxhound_fox. Looks like we're on the same page.

In hindsight San Andreas isn't a very good game. GTAIV might not be as zany but its better in every way.

I really dont understand all the love for VC bein shown here, it was better than than GTA:III by far but compared to GTA:SA it was very limited in scope although i will admit Tommy Vercetti was a very likeable character.

I still play SA to this day so it doesnt really bother me if R* do or do not do a sequel/remake, if they did though i would defo buy it over a VC game.

Despite what some people may think; developers do not care about fully exploiting a platform. They care about money, judging GTA's last development budget; the game won't make it as a exclusive any more.
