GTA: San Andreas Info

The new issue of Game Informer (due on the 21st) apparently provides the first in-depth look at Rockstar’s anticipated GTA: San Andreas. Thanks to GTA-SanAndreas.com for the info. Here are the details from the upcoming issue:

• San Andreas is not a city (as it was in the original GTA) but rather a state. Gameplay will take place in three cities, San Fierro (San Francisco), Las Venturra (Las Vegas), and Los Santos (LA). The countryside between the cities will be fully modeled. It is estimated that the entire game area will be anywhere from four to six times the size of Vice City.
• The game takes place in the early ’90s.
• The targeting system has yet again been “improved” in some unspecified way.
• Players can now wield dual weapons.
• AI characters can be recruited as gang members (allowing for four-person drivebys like those seen in the early screenshot).
• The player character is Carl Johnson, a hood who returns home after serving a jail sentence in Liberty City only to find his mother dead. To top it off, he’s been framed for murder by a couple of crooked cops.
• There will be far more interiors than in the previous GTA games. Break-ins are now possible and will be an integral part of many missions.
• You can now swim.
• Bicycles are indeed usable vehicles this time around.
• Players can gamble in Las Venturra casinos. Later in the game it will be possible to build and operate your own casino should you so choose.
• Various graphical improvements.
• The most potentially iffy addition: a stamina meter that must be periodically recharged with food. If the player eats too much junk food they grow fat; this can be worked off in the gym.
