Support NeoGAF

[Nzyme32]

From the streams and clips i've seen, there seems to be a pretty colossal issue with over saturation and extremely dark areas that have very limited visibility. Not sure what's happened there, hope the fix it

 

[Jb]

So do they use the PS2 or PC targeting system in this version?

 

[dark10x]

What HD remakes on either PS3 or 360 are 1080p?

Okami is 2160p on PS3 while ZOE2 was upgraded to 1280x1080. God of War psp collection is 1080p60 as well.

Like they applied the xbone upscaler

 

[Correctomundo]

It would've made sense 3 or 4 years ago when people were asking for it. Now it just seems like too little too late.

Probably, but people are still buying it.

 

[friskykillface]

So glad to finally have this on another irrelevant console!

this, i am done with xbox 360, i put it away in the closet .

why isn't this on xbox one
great price though.

 

[Backfoggen]

SA looks really sharp on iPhone6+ after yesterday's patch.

Pretty funny that it runs at a higher resolution on a phone than on 360.

 

[alf717]

Bought it with left over cash on my account. Its full of bugs though. Voice audio cuts out during the first cut scene when I reached the train and if you pause the game during pause able cut scenes the audio starts all over. Scene won't end until the audio is finished. Pretty funny stuff but not bad if you ask me. 720 is an odd choice since older PCs could do 1080 with it easy. I was doing 1080P with an AMD 3400+ (single core) and X1900XT back in the day.

 

[GeoramA]

So, Supply Lines...does that fucking mission have a checkpoint system now?

 

[Synless]

Okami is 2160p on PS3 while ZOE2 was upgraded to 1280x1080. God of War psp collection is 1080p60 as well.

I believe Ico was 1080p as well.

 

[Fjordson]

So this port sucks? Bummer. Was ready to buy it for 3 bucks.

 

[Taker34]

Let's not forget Splinter Cell Trilogy HD which is 1080p.

they just took the og xbox version stretched it out and save as .xbox360.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Not really...
They ported the HD mobile version and added achievements.

 

[Blastoise]

Seems like they fucked up the controls as well.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Wow it was removed from Steam?

 

[User 479360]

Even if the port isn't great, it's four bucks to replay a great game. If it was more, then it'd be worth complaining about, but it's a steal.

Those little detail changes are cool.

For 3 dollars it is well worth it.

Just an FYI for those comparing to the PC version, a friend of mine (Ash from the VCS PC Edition project) pointed out that the PC version of SA was fixed with the PS2 color filter and GUI assets from the mobile version. This is how the PC version looks now:

Huh? I'm confused. Did the Steam release get an update or something?

 

[MrCunningham]

What? III was that. It's just gotten bigger and better since then.

San Andreas is the second highest selling GTA game of all time behind GTAV, it actually sold more copies than GTAIV worldwide. According to Rockstar themselves GTA: SA sold over 27million copies worldwide as of 2011, while GTA IV sold 22 million during that time (though some reports say it has reached 25million sales world wide). And you also have to remember that the PS2 is the highest selling game console of all time and this is the number one selling game on that console worldwide.

San Andreas sales went into overdrive when the hot coffee controversy popped up in the media and it literally became free advertising for the game. It was a cultural phenomenon for 2004.

Pretty funny that it runs at a higher resolution on a phone than on 360.

I could only imagine the 360 version not being a real native port at all and running in some ARM/ Android wrappers. It's the only explanation.

Dat map looks ugly though

 

[Danlord]

I was watching the comparison video, noting the improvements like better lighting, there's a high-resolution reflection map in the police siren and the trees don't have a white border around them

,

but then I see this...

What the hell is happening with Officer Tenpenny's lip and eyelids!?

I also notice the headlights of the police car has changed, but the model itself has a mis-aligned vertex or something causing the artefacting that I can see here;

 

[MrCunningham]

Dat map looks ugly though

When people started talking about a widescreen/ xinput patch on Steam, I was actually kind of excited at first. But after seeing videos/ screens of this 360 port.... I am not so sure now. I really hope that the PC version doesn't get replaced by some sort of mangled mobile port.

 

[03sho]

Chances of a PS3 version any time soon?

 

[The Flash]

At that price I might have to jump in. Never played San Andreas but I've always wanted too.

 

[steveovig]

For $3, I can't complain much. I like playing it for achievements and maybe that will finally get me to complete this game after all these years. I've came close on two different occasions before giving up.

 

[Marvie_3]

I've noticed a few minor problems that I hope they're willing to fix with a quick patch, but I've still had a blast with it so far.

 

[Finalow]

weird exclusive, no retail version? Nope, not going to get this.

that price is really low though.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Holy shit. From Gamersyde's "The First 6 Minutes" video.

I spotted that in the comparison video linked above too.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

High. There's no way this is 360 only. That would make no sense. The question is whether there's going to be PS4/XB1 versions or even a Vita version.

[fluffydelusions]

Game is no longer on Steam?

[MattDoza]

I don't even have my 360 set up anymore but at three bucks and change I bought it.

 

[lem0n]

Loving playing SA again, and can't wait to 1000/1000 it

 

[Insane Dead]

Bought it since it's so cheap. Can't wait to start playing it again soon!

 

[CountBlack]

First time playing this game without using tons of cheat codes

 

[OverBlood 3]

I'd really like to replay this on a PS3 but seeing what it's like on 360 I won't be heartbroken if it never makes it over.

 

[Ahasverus]

It is! People just found the obb files lol

 

[Foffy]

Wow, looks like a crummy port. I can probably get a clearer image on the game in PCSX2.

 

[Suikoguy]

It is! People just found the obb files lol

What the fuck, who actually green-lighted this?

 

[TheVampire]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKGu1kdulPM

does it?

It looks like they just added sweetfx to it or something

 

[Arkam]

Indeed. I wonder why it's exclusive?

No PS3 version, No Buy

I can't help but be disappointed

I would be too if it were not one of the weakest entries in the series. Despite putting over 300 hours into Vice City I could not stand the story in SA. Felt so "poor" in comparison. VC referenced/ripped-off the beat crime films of all time (godfather, scarface,goodfellas, casino, hear) where SA was limited to the scraps (dead presidents, training day, whatever )

So a loss... But not a huge one

Are you calling Training Day one of the "scraps" of the crime film genre?

Dude.

 

[TromboneTony]

Bah, I have the Xbox version of this game on disc still, but at that price I feel like I shouldn't pass this up. What should I do GAF?

 

[Steverulez]

If you want achievements and GTA SA, why not... $3.74!

(Unless that means you can't eat for a week then don't do that)
