Carl finds his old friends and family in disarray, and over the course of the game he attempts to re-establish his old gang, clashes with corrupt cops, and gradually unravels the truth behind his mother's murder.
The plot is based on multiple real-life events in Los Angeles, including the rivalry between the, and street gangs, the 1980s, the, and the.Considered one of the of video gaming's most significant titles, and by many reviewers to be one of the, San Andreas received rave reviews by many critics who praised the music, story and gameplay. It became the best-selling video game of 2004, as well as one of the.
It has sold over 27.5 million copies worldwide as of 2011; it remains the best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time. The game, like its predecessors, is cited as a landmark in video games for its far-reaching influence within the industry. However, the violence and sexual content of San Andreas has been the source of much public concern and controversy. In particular, a player-made software patch, dubbed the ', unlocked a previously hidden sexual scene.
The next main entry in the series, was released in April 2008. San Andreas has been ported to various other platforms and services, such as, and mobile devices (, and ). The player driving a Banshee towards the Grove Street in Los Santos around the afternoon.Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an game with and elements. Structured similarly to the previous two games in the series, the core gameplay consists of elements in a and a driving game, affording the player a large, environment in which to move around. On foot, the player's character is capable of walking, running, sprinting, swimming, climbing and jumping as well as using weapons and various forms of hand-to-hand combat. The player can drive a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, buses, semis, boats, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, trains, tanks, motorcycles and bikes.
The player may also import vehicles in addition to stealing them.The open, non-linear environment allows the player to explore and choose how they wish to play the game. Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain cities and content, they are not required as the player can complete them at their own leisure. When not taking on a storyline mission, the player can freely-roam and look around the cities of San Andreas, eat in restaurants, or cause havoc by attacking people and causing destruction. Creating havoc can attract unwanted and potentially fatal attention from the authorities. The more chaos caused, the stronger the response: police will handle 'minor' infractions (attacking pedestrians, pointing at people, stealing vehicles, manslaughter, etc.), whereas teams, the, and the respond to higher wanted levels.The player can partake in a variety of optional side missions that can boost their character's attributes or provide another source of income. The traditional side missions of the past games are included, such as dropping off taxi cab passengers, putting out fires, driving injured people to the hospital and fighting crime as a. New additions include missions, missions, truck and train driving missions requiring the player to make deliveries on time, and driving/flying/boating/biking schools, which help the player learn skills and techniques to use in their corresponding vehicles.Not all locations are open to the player at the start of the game.
Some locales, such as mod garages, restaurants, gyms, and shops, become available only after completing certain missions. Likewise, for the first portion of the game, only Los Santos and its immediate suburbs are available for exploration; unlocking the other cities and rural areas again requires the completion of certain missions. If the player were to travel in locked locations early in the game, they would end up attracting the attention of SWAT teams, police, and police-controlled Hydras if in an aircraft.Unlike and, which needed loading screens when the player moved between different districts of the city, San Andreas has no load times when the player is in transit. The only loading screens in the game are for cut-scenes and interiors.
Other differences between San Andreas and its predecessors include the switch from single-player to multiplayer Rampage missions (albeit not in the version), and the replacement of the 'hidden packages' with spray paint tags, hidden camera shots, horseshoes, and oysters to discover.The camera, fighting, and targeting controls were reworked to incorporate concepts from another game, including various stealth elements, as well as improved target crosshairs and a target health indicator which changes from green to red to black depending on the target's health. The PC version of the game implements; the player has to hold the right mouse button to activate the, and then click or hold at the left mouse button to shoot or use an item, such as a camera. The player has a gunfight with members of an enemy gang.In addition, players can swim and climb walls for the first time in the series. The ability to swim and dive underwater has a great effect on the player as well, since water is no longer an impassable barrier that kills the player (although it is possible to drown). For greater fire-power, the player can also dual wield firearms or perform a drive-by shooting with multiple gang members who can be recruited to follow the player.
Due to the size of San Andreas, a waypoint reticle on the HUD map can be set, aiding the player in reaching a destination.Role-playing game features in character developmentRockstar has emphasised the of the main protagonist by adding elements. Clothing, accessories, haircuts, jewellery, and tattoos are available for purchase by the player, and have more of an effect on ' reactions than the clothing in Vice City. CJ's level of respect among his fellow recruits and street friends varies according to his appearance and actions, as do his relationships with his girlfriends. The player must ensure CJ eats to stay healthy and exercises properly. The balance of food and physical activity has an effect on his appearance and physical attributes.San Andreas tracks acquired skills in areas such as driving, firearms handling, stamina, and lung capacity, which improve through use in the game.
CJ may learn three different styles of (, and ) at the gyms in each of the game's three cities. CJ can speak with a number of pedestrians in the game, responding either negatively or positively. According to Rockstar, there are about 4,200 lines of spoken dialogue for CJ when the cutscenes are excluded. VehiclesIn total, there are around 250 vehicles in the game compared to approximately 60 in. New additions include, a, a, a and trailers amongst others. Car and features are similar to the series of games, allowing for much more midair vehicle control as well as upgrades and aesthetic modification.There are several different classes of vehicles that serve different purposes. Off-road vehicles perform better in rough environments, while racing cars perform better on tracks or on the street.
Are fast, but usually need a to land. Can land almost anywhere and are much easier to control in the air, but are slower. While previous Grand Theft Auto games had only a few aircraft that were difficult to access and fly, San Andreas has eleven fixed-wing aircraft and nine helicopters and makes them more integral in the game's missions. There is also the ability to from aircraft, using a parachute. Several were added, while some were highly modified.Other additions and changesOther new features and changes from previous Grand Theft Auto games include:. Gang wars: Battles with enemy gangs are prompted whenever the player ventures into enemy territory and kills at least three gang members. If the player then survives three waves of enemies, the territory will be won and fellow gang members will begin wandering the streets of these areas.
The more territory owned by the player, the more money that will be generated. Occasionally, the player's territory will come under attack from enemy gangs and defeating them will be necessary to retain these areas. Once all marked territories are claimed from one of the two hostile gangs for the protagonist's gang, the opposing gang can no longer attack. Once the player takes control of all the territories, none can come under attack. Car modification: Most automobiles in the game can be modified and upgraded at various garages.
All car mods are strictly visual apart from the stereo system and upgrade which increases bass and gives the car a speed boost when activated respectively; and hydraulics, which lowers the car's height by default and allows the player to control various aspects of the car's suspension. Other common modifications include paintjobs, rims, side skirts, bumpers and spoilers. Burglary: Continuing the series' tradition of controversy, is included as a potential money-making activity. By stealing a burglary van, CJ is able to sneak into a residence at night, and cart off valuables or shake down the occupants. Minigames: Numerous are available for play in San Andreas, including, challenges (dancing and 'bouncing' with hydraulics), and video game machines that pay homage to classic. In addition, there are the aforementioned casino games and methods of gambling, such as betting on virtual. Money: The money system has been expanded upon, compared to previous titles.
Players can spend their cash on gambling, clothes, tattoos, meals, etc. Excessive gambling loss can force the player to sink into debt, which is shown in red negative numbers. When the player leaves a safehouse, CJ gets an unexpected call and a mysterious person tells him about his debts. Four gang members suddenly appear and shoot Carl on sight if he does not erase the debt when the mysterious person calls him a second time. Multiplayer: Rampages have been modified to allow two players to complete them.
The players are both shown simultaneously on the screen, meaning they must stay within close proximity of each other. The multiplayer rampages provide such functionality.Synopsis SettingGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas takes place in 1992 within the state of San Andreas, which is based on sections of. It comprises three major fictional cities: corresponds to, San Fierro corresponds to, and Las Venturas corresponds to.
The environments around these cities are also based on settings within the of the United States. Players can drive up the half-mile (800 m) tall Mount Chiliad (based on ), from various peaks and skyscrapers, and visit 12 rural towns and villages located in five counties: Red County, Flint County, Bone County, Tierra Robada, and Whetstone. Other notable destinations include Sherman Dam (based on the ), a large secret military base called Area 69 (based on ), a large satellite dish (based on a dish from the ), Vinewood (based on ) and the Vinewood sign (based on the ) which is located in Mulholland, and many other geographical features. The bridges in San Fierro are based on the Forth and bridges which link Edinburgh, the home of Rockstar North, to Fife although the road bridge is highly similar to the. San Andreas is 13.9 square miles (36 square kilometres), almost four times as large as Vice City and five times as large as the Grand Theft Auto III rendition of.
The three cities are linked by numerous highways, a train system, and air travel. While its predecessors' areas were limited to urban locations, San Andreas includes not only large cities and suburbs, but also the rural areas between them.GangsThe main character is a member of the Grove Street Families street gang, a set of a gang that also includes the initially-hostile Temple Drive and Seville Boulevard Families. The two main rival gangs are the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos, both based out of Los Santos. The Varrios Los Aztecas also operate in Los Santos, but are generally neutral towards CJ, unless provoked. The main gangs of San Fierro are the San Fierro Rifa, led by T-Bone Mendez; the Da Nang Boys, a Vietnamese gang; and the San Fierro Triads, whose leader Wu Zi Mu forms an alliance with Carl. In Las Venturas, the only gangs are the Triads (run by Wu Zi Mu) and the (consisting of the Forellis, Sindaccos, and Leones).
The 'Loco Syndicate' appears in the San Fierro mission chain, essentially made up of T-Bone Mendez's Rifa gangsters, Mike Toreno and a pimp Jizzy B. In addition, the makes a few small appearances in the storyline.Characters. Main article:The characters that appear in San Andreas are relatively diverse and relative to the respective cities and locales which each of them based himself in. This allows the game to include a significantly wider array of story lines and settings than in and Vice City. The player controls , a young gang member who serves as the game's protagonist.The Los Santos stages of the game revolve around the theme of the Grove Street Families gang fighting with the Ballas and the Vagos for territory and respect.
East Asian gangs (most notably the local ), an additional Vietnamese gang (the Da Nang Boys), and a force of Hispanic thugs working for the local 'Loco Syndicate' (the San Fierro Rifa) are evident in the San Fierro leg of the game, while three Mafia families and the Triads who all own their respective casino are more prominently featured in the Las Venturas section of the game.Like the previous two Grand Theft Auto games, the voice actors of San Andreas include notable celebrities, such as, rappers, and and musicians,. Made his debut as the protagonist, Carl.The Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition lists it as the video game with the largest voice cast, with 861 credited voice actors, including 174 actors and 687 additional performers, many of those performers being fans of the series who wanted to appear on the game. PlotIn 1992, a former gangbanger for the Los Santos-based Grove Street Families, returns home to Los Santos from Liberty City after learning about the murder of his mother, Beverly in a drive-by shooting. Upon his arrival, CJ is intercepted by a group of corrupt police officers led. Tenpenny coerces CJ into working for him by threatening to frame CJ for the murder of an Internal Affairs officer, whose death had been orchestrated by Tenpenny.After Tenpenny releases him, CJ reunites with his surviving family at Beverly's funeral: Sweet, and his sister, Kendl. Sweet angrily confronts CJ about his long absence from Los Santos and blames CJ for the Grove Street gang's declining fortunes.
However, CJ wins Sweet's grudging acceptance by promising to stay and help rebuild the gang. The two brothers work closely with their friends, Big Smoke and Ryder, to reunite the divided Grove Street Families and reconquer their old turf from their rivals, the Ballas. During the gang war, CJ is occasionally sidetracked by orders from Officer Tenpenny, who forces CJ to assist him with black market and drug racketeering. Later, Sweet asks CJ to investigate Kendl's new boyfriend Cesar. Despite his preconceptions, CJ discovers that Cesar genuinely cares about Kendl, and the two men become friends.With Grove Street stronger than ever, Sweet plans to ambush a major group of Ballas and end the war. However, before CJ can get to the fight, Cesar calls him for a meetup. During the rendezvous, Cesar and CJ witness Big Smoke, Ryder, Tenpenny, and the Ballas working together to hide the car used in the shooting that resulted in Beverly's death, which infuriates CJ.
It is revealed at this point that Big Smoke and Ryder had arranged the shooting, and were working with Tenpenny and the Ballas to sell out Grove Street. CJ rushes to warn Sweet, but is too late, as Sweet is badly wounded from the Ballas counter-ambush. Tenpenny shows up and arrests them both. With Grove Street's leadership decapitated, Big Smoke and Ryder openly declare their alliance with the Ballas.
They take over Los Santos and flood its streets with drugs, and with Tenpenny protecting them from police interference, they appear unstoppable.However, Tenpenny decides to get more use out of CJ. Instead of throwing CJ in prison, Tenpenny drives him into the rural country outside Los Santos, and threatens to arrange Sweet's death in prison if CJ doesn't co-operate. Exiled in the countryside, CJ is forced to carry out favors for C.R.A.S.H, under threat of Sweet being transferred to a cell block where Ballas affiliates are housed.
He also works with Cesar's cousin Catalina to make money by carrying out several heists in the area. He also befriends a hippie named The Truth and a blind Chinese-American Triad leader named Wu Zi Mu. After winning the deed to a garage in San Fierro in a race against Catalina and, CJ goes there with The Truth, Cesar and Kendl to get it up and running so they can make a living.
While in San Fierro, CJ crosses paths with the Loco Syndicate, Big Smoke and Ryder's drug connection. CJ infiltrates the organisation and identifies its leader, Mike Toreno. CJ kills Ryder and the other Loco Syndicate leaders, Jizzy B and T-Bone Mendez, and shoots down Toreno's helicopter. CJ then destroys the Syndicate's drug factory.Soon after, CJ is called by an unknown man using a digitally distorted voice, who asks CJ to meet him at a ranch in the desert. There, CJ finds Mike Toreno alive, thus revealing Toreno as the caller. Toreno reveals that he is actually an undercover government agent spying on criminal operations and enlists CJ's help in several shady operations in exchange for Sweet's freedom.
Meanwhile, CJ travels to Las Venturas, where Wu Zi Mu invites him to become a partner in the Four Dragons Casino, where the organisation is facing problems from the mob families that control the city. Seeking to wrest control of Venturas from them, CJ helps Wu Zi Mu plot a robbery of the mob's casino and gains the mob's trust through various jobs for mob boss, Salvatore Leone. Eventually the heist is carried out successfully, earning the Triad a place of power in Las Venturas, although causing the mob to detest CJ.
CJ also encounters rapper Madd Dogg, from whom he stole a rhyme book to help rapper OG Loc become a name in the business. After rescuing Madd Dogg from a suicide attempt, he asks CJ to be his manager once he returns from rehab.Tenpenny, fearing his arrest is inevitable, tasks his partner Eddie Pulaski with killing CJ and another police officer, Jimmy Hernandez, whom Tenpenny found out was informing on them to Internal Affairs.
While Pulaski forces CJ to dig his own grave, a severely injured Hernandez manages to attack Pulaski, leading to his death. Pulaski attempts to escape, but CJ kills him. Madd Dogg returns from rehab, prompting CJ to return to Los Santos to get his music career restarted. Toreno contacts CJ for one last favor, and finally has Sweet released from prison. Now rich and successful, CJ attempts to cut Sweet in on his businesses, but Sweet becomes angry that he ran away and let their home be taken over by rival gang members and drug dealers to make his fortune. While CJ helps Sweet once again kill the rival gangs, Tenpenny is arrested and tried for felonies that he has been charged with, but the charges are dropped due to lack of evidence, prompting a citywide riot. CJ helps Cesar regain control over the barrio and also regain territory for his gang, so as to have enough power to obtain knowledge of Big Smoke's whereabouts.Sweet soon learns that Big Smoke is hiding in a fortified crack den in the city, and he and CJ set out to confront him.
CJ enters the building alone, fighting his way to the top floor and confronting Smoke. CJ attempts to reason with Smoke, but the latter engages CJ in a gunfight.
CJ defeats him and a mortally wounded Smoke confesses that he betrayed the GSF in order to gain more power and money before dying. Tenpenny then arrives and holds CJ at gunpoint, before stealing Big Smoke's money, intending to use it to leave the city. Tenpenny escapes and CJ and Sweet pursue him. During the pursuit, Tenpenny loses control of a fire truck that he was using as a getaway vehicle, driving off the bridge over the Grove Street cul-de-sac and crashing at the entrance to it. CJ and his friends watch as a fatally wounded Tenpenny crawls from the wreckage and succumbs to his injuries.In the aftermath, CJ and his family along with Cesar celebrate while Madd Dogg and his friends pay them a visit. In the midst of celebrations, CJ leaves to check the neighbourhood and its surroundings.Marketing and release FilmThe Introduction, an in-engine video, was provided on a with the, as well as the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition re-release for the PlayStation 2. The 26-minute video chronicles the events leading up to the events in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and provides insight on the development of the characters of the game, to the point when Carl learns of his mother's death in a phone call from Sean 'Sweet' Johnson & returns to Los Santos to find his life is ruined.
The film incorporates locations from the original game. The PS2 release also includes a live-action documentary on the culture (featured prominently in the game) called Sunday Driver.Soundtrack. Main article:As with the previous two entries in the Grand Theft Auto series, San Andreas has music taken from the time in which the game is based.San Andreas is serviced by eleven radio stations; WCTR , Master Sounds 98.3 (, playing many of the old funk and soul tracks sampled by 1980s and '90s hip-hop artists), K-Jah West ( and; modelled after K-Jah from ), CSR (, ), Radio X (, and ), Radio Los Santos , SF-UR , Bounce FM , K-DST , K-Rose and Playback FM.The music system in San Andreas is enhanced from previous titles. In earlier games in the series, each radio station was essentially a single looped sound file, playing the same songs, announcements and advertisements in the same order each time.
In San Andreas, each section is held separately, and 'mixed' randomly, allowing songs to be played in different orders, announcements to songs to be different each time, and plot events to be mentioned on the stations. This system would be used in. WCTR, rather than featuring licensed music and DJs, features spoken word performances by actors such as Andy Dick performing as talk show hosts and listener callers in a parody of talk radio programming.Lazlow again plays as himself on the show 'Entertaining America' on WCTR in the same persona as in III and Vice City. He takes over after the former presenter, Billy Dexter, is shot on air by in-game film star Jack Howitzer.
Lazlow interviews guests such as O.G. Loc, who is one of the four characters Carl encounters during the game that is on the radio, along with Big Smoke, Madd Dogg, and The Truth.The Xbox, iOS, and Windows versions of the game include an additional radio station that supports custom soundtracks by playing user imported, allowing players to listen to their own music while playing the game. This feature is not available on the PlayStation 2 version of the game or when played on the. Main article:Wikinews has related news:In mid-June 2005, a for the game dubbed the ' was released by Patrick Wildenborg (under the Internet alias 'PatrickW'), a 38-year-old modder from the Netherlands. The name 'Hot Coffee' refers to the way the released game alludes to the unseen sex scenes. In the unmodified game, the player takes his girlfriend to her front door and she asks him if he would like to come in for 'some coffee'.
He agrees, and the camera stays outside, swaying back and forth a bit, while moaning sounds are heard. After installing the patch, users can enter the main character's girlfriends' houses and engage in a crudely rendered, fully clothed mini-game. The fallout from the controversy resulted in a public response from high-ranking politicians in the United States and elsewhere and resulted in the game's recall and re-release.Wikinews has related news:On 20 July 2005, North America's organisation who establish content ratings for video games, the, changed the rating of the game from Mature (M) to Adults Only (AO), making San Andreas the only mass-released AO console game in the United States.
Rockstar announced that it would cease production of the version of the game that included the controversial content. Rockstar gave distributors the option of applying an Adults Only ESRB rating sticker to copies of the game, or returning them to be replaced by versions without the Hot Coffee content. Many retailers pulled the game off their shelves in compliance with their own store regulations that kept them from selling AO games. That same month in Australia, the revoked its original rating of MA15+, meaning that the game could no longer be sold there.In August 2005, Rockstar North released an official 'Cold Coffee' patch for the PC version of the game and re-released San Andreas with the 'Hot Coffee' scenes removed ( Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Version 2.0), allowing the game to return to its 'M' rating. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions have also been re-released with the 'Hot Coffee' scenes removed in the Greatest Hits Edition, the Platinum Edition and the ' Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Pack'.On 8 November 2007, Take-Two announced a proposed settlement to the class action litigation that had been brought against them following the Hot Coffee controversy. If the proposed settlement is approved by the court, neither Take-Two nor Rockstar would admit liability or wrongdoing. Consumers would be able to swap their AO-rated copies of the game for M-rated versions and may also qualify for a $35 cash payment upon signing a sworn statement.A report in The New York Times on 25 June 2008 revealed that a total of 2,676 claims for the compensation package had been filed.
Follow-upsRockstar released two follow-ups to San Andreas: and, both. Unlike San Andreas and its predecessors, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were developed for the handheld, and there was no Windows or Xbox version although a PlayStation 2 port was released afterward. San Andreas thus marks the last major Grand Theft Auto release across the sixth-generation consoles to be produced by Rockstar North, as well as the last one to introduce an entirely new setting.Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are prequels to San Andreas ' predecessors, so both games derive their maps from Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City, respectively, each of which cover a considerably smaller area than San Andreas. Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories eliminated gameplay elements introduced in San Andreas, including the ability to swim (in Liberty City Stories, but re-introduced in a limited capacity in Vice City Stories) and climb. Both Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories include references to characters featured in San Andreas, with Liberty City Stories set about 6 years after the events of San Andreas (in that game, for example, radio reporter Richard Burns, featured in news bulletins in San Andreas, returns as a radio call-in guest) and Vice City Stories set about 8 years before the events of San Andreas.
Except for news bulletins, radio programming in Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories does not change based upon player progress. While character customisation elements such as wardrobe changes are retained, for later games, Rockstar eliminated the need for the game protagonists to eat and exercise.San Andreas marked the technological pinnacle of the Grand Theft Auto III era (also known as the '3D Universe') and also the end of that continuity (albeit for the handheld-focused Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories spin-offs). Rockstar launched a new canon (the 'HD Universe') with and for the seventh-generation consoles. The celebrity that had been so prominent in the '3D Universe', especially in Vice City and San Andreas, was scaled back in the 'HD Universe'. Rockstar also took a new direction in the series, focusing on realism and details instead of greater area and added content. For instance, although the explorable sandbox area is smaller than San Andreas, the main setting for Grand Theft Auto IV is comparable to San Andreas in terms of scope when 'the level of verticality of the city, the number of buildings you can go into, and the level of detail in those buildings' are taken into account. The goal for the HD Universe layout of Liberty City was to have no dead spots or irrelevant spaces, such as the wide open deserts found in San Andreas state.
Wrote Grand Theft Auto IV 's 'slight regression of the series from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is surprising: there are fewer vehicles, weapons, and story missions, less character customisation, and even the size of the city itself is smaller'.Los Santos, one of the three central cities in San Andreas, is the main location of the latest game in the franchise,. Although GTA: San Andreas included three cities separated by open countryside, Grand Theft Auto V included only one city, Los Santos, as well as adjoining countryside and desert areas. By focusing their efforts on one city instead of three, the team were able to produce Los Santos in higher quality and at greater scale.
For both games, Los Angeles was used as the model for Los Santos, but the team felt that the ambition of having three cities in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was too great and that the game did not emulate the cities as well as they had hoped. Houser elaborated that 'to do a proper version of L.A.,. the game has to give you a sense of that sprawl — if not completely replicate it', and dividing the budget and manpower between multiple cities would have detracted from capturing 'what L.A. Garbut felt that in the PlayStation 2 era the team did not have the technical capabilities to capture Los Angeles properly, resulting in the San Andreas rendition of Los Santos feeling like a 'backdrop or a game level with pedestrians randomly milling about'. Therefore, the team disregarded San Andreas as a jumping-off point for Grand Theft Auto V, as they had moved on to a new generation of consoles since the former and wanted to build the city from scratch. As Garbut explained, with the move to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 hardware, 'our processes and the fidelity of the world had evolved so much from San Andreas' that using it as a model would have been redundant.
Other versions Steam versionGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas is distributed on. The game received a notable amount of updates raising the version from 1.1 to 3.0. On 7 November 2014, an update caused controversy after 17 tracks from the soundtrack were removed due to expired licenses.
Other drawbacks of the update include removal of widescreen support (which was later fixed via another minor update) and certain regions had incompatibility with older saves. Both old and new owners were affected by the update, unlike with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where only new owners were affected due to a similar update. Additionally, the game received native support for -enabled gamepads and the removal of.Mobile version. Gameplay of the iOS versionOn 12 December 2013, San Andreas was released on select iOS devices.
The upgrades and enhancements from the original game include newly remastered graphics, consisting of, greater, an enriched colour palette, plus enhanced character and car models. The and version was released on 19 December 2013 and version on 27 January 2014.Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versionsIn 2008, the original Xbox version was released on Xbox 360; an port as part of the line-up. However, in late 2014 it was removed from the Xbox Live Marketplace and replaced with a port of the mobile version on 26 October 2014, the game's tenth anniversary. It featured HD 720p resolution, enhanced draw distance, a new menu interface,. While it introduced many new features, around ten songs were removed from the HD version that were present in the original due to licensing issues, and numerous new bugs were introduced. A physical release followed on 30 June 2015 in North America and 17 July 2015 elsewhere, under the ' banner ('Classics' in PAL regions).San Andreas was first released on PlayStation 3 in December 2012 as an emulated. This version was also removed in late 2014, leading to rumours of a PS3 HD release.
However, this was not the case at the time and the PS2 Classic later returned. In early November 2015, the game was re-rated by the for an upcoming PS3-native release. The HD version was released on 1 December 2015, replacing the PS2 Classic on the, and on physical media, gaining instant ' status in North America. There has also been a PlayStation 4 version released, though unlike the port for the PlayStation 3, it is the PlayStation 2 game running via, but it still has trophies and some songs edited out due to licensing restrictions.Notes.
