Some info on the next GTA

Quote:
After registering a number of potential Grand Theft Auto titles earlier this year, Rockstar Games has today confirmed that the next game in the series will be Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A PlayStation 2 exclusive, the game is currently scheduled for release in North America on October 19 and in Europe on October 22.

Being a PlayStation 2 exclusive doesn't mean that we PC gamers won't play it, they'll just release a PC version later after the PS 2 release, as they did with the last 2 titles, the deal between Rockstar and Sony doesn't include the PC.

Exclusive actually means for 1 year. So the game will be on xbox and PC also one year after the PS2 release.

Are you sure? If it was true, we would have seen an Xbox version of Vice City by now.

Actually, the deal between Sony and Rockstar ends this year according to GameSpot:

hmm, so the PC version was released because it's for 1 year, and not because the PC isn't included in the deal ?

No PC is not included in the Exclusive deal. Its only exclusive to PS2 rather than other home consoles (xbox, gamecube). I think Vice city came out on PS2 in October of 2002 and Vice city came out on PC in like May of 2003. So thats like 7 months, thats probly just how long it took them to port it.

I'm having trouble with the death row mission. The one where you have to free lance from the garbage dump because diaz's gang has him hostage. Any hints? My helicopter keeps blowing up and so did the garbage truck. Im trying not to use cheats and I'm playing on the pc version. Thanks.

Thanks. I actually found that site after searching the net for walkthroughs. I finally beat the mission and now only have two main levels left. Working on the biker gang and love juice missions. Almost done!

"Love Juice" mission?

I'm so looking forward to playing this game...

I've got it on order to go with the rig I'm building (see sig), but have only played it for an hour on a mate's PS2.

I just wish that they'd hurry up and deliver the rest of my parts!
