First San Andreas Screenshots!

[orappa]

So it's set in a similar time-frame to GTA 3 then?

Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas

Los Santos for the ones that dont know means The Saints in english, makes you think of los angeles ( which in spanish would mean los angeles ( the angels)) since theyr around the same thing.

Has anyone noticed the similarity of the "hydraulics" convertable with the red car icon in the supposedly made-up map:

http://www.kl.net/gtasa/f8f89844.jpg.orig-c.jpg

It looks like the same car. As I said before, I believe that map is real, taken from the forthcoming strategy guide. Those who said the map is too small, look at the size of the giant ships, also don't be mislead by the width of the major roads. There are many small side streets and alleys that don't show up well in that scan. See the previous game guides where the islands for gta3 and vc look smaller than the feel in the game.

If so, what would the hydraulic car icon mean? My guess is some kind of challenge like the unique stunts. The one at the airport is a good giveaway. Why else would you have a car icon between two runways?

So if this is a map of "challenge" icons, what do the other icons represent?

- The 3 yellowish icons look kind of like jet packs! Their placement at bridges/fault lines suggests some kind of challenge. The Jetpacks probably only run for 20 seconds or so like the one at the olympics.

- The mostly black icons could be "drive-by" challenges. They are situated only in residential areas. It kind of looks like someone shooting from a sunroof like in the screenshot.

- The money icons? Who knows. Probably not ATM's due to placement, but keeping with the challenge maybe they are related to drugs somehow?

- the "gun" icons. There are three of these, each on separate land masses. Target challenge? Ammunation?

- the blue and yellow icon on the "Alcatraz" island. ???

I think I have to agree with [KFC]Nutz, that map does look very similar to R*'s other maps, and its also very detailed....

were is the rockstar map you are talking about

[Guardians Proper]

Also notice the far east of that map.

Looks like a rural/ghetto area. And voi la, there's your precious "car blip" right in the middle of the 'ghetto region'. (Like the pictures)..

Nutz, where'd you find that map?!

(Also, it looks like there's 3 islands. One on the far west that is covered by the fist icon..)

[Turbo X]

those screenshots where very unexpected... and random....

do u think 50 cent is gonna be on there like codename vice said because all of the charicters are black

My bet is that they'll make it look like 90's LA style, with the golden gate. similar to gta1.

Well, after reading the stuff on planetgrandtheftauto.com, that map couldn't possibly be of the real game
