a edited down video from THE Joshimuz?? We are truly entering a new era

Actually releasing such a huge and complex game as GTA: SA on a PS2 is really, really impressive

Really fond of the new video format, Josh. While watching the VOD itself is great, a condensed version of a speedrun is also very welcome.

PS2 SA felt so much more atmospheric. Even if a lot of it is just shaders the world doesn’t feel as empty. I used to think it was just nostalgia but it looks NOTICABLY different.

The PS2 didn't use OpenGL (well, "PS2GL" was a thing, but not something that AAA games used.) RenderWare would have dealt with the hardware at a much lower level than that. You're otherwise spot on about the porting situation though. I can understand some minor differences but can't forgive the lack of colour tinting in LS! It massively changes the look and feel.

Imagine running this game for so long that you just casually beat PS2 WR without trying much lol, much love josh!

14:13 PS2 also has a hotdog vendor thing on that beach near Panopticon

Blessed intro. Love those old PS2 UI sounds

My dopamine starved brain really likes the new edited videos. I prefer uncut unedited content for DYOMs, but for speedruns this type of content works much better. If I had one advice, the cuts after a highlight moment should be a bit delayed. Let the scene linger on for a bit longer before you cut to the next one. Otherwise it kinda gives similar vibes to "cut scream compilations", at least for me.

this has been said thousands of times at this point but i still can't believe how much better the PS2 version is graphically compared to any of the other versions. the resolution is the only downside

18:25 AYOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is actually a great idea Josh. You can get those who don't watch your 4 hr speedruns to watch this.

32:35 "... downloading pornography is strictly prohibited." Whaat the hell lol

EDITED JOSHIMUZ CONTENT = UNSTOPPABLE FORCE

This kind of format is really nice, not 8 billions hours long but also not the average 15 minutes youtube video, also no over edited. Hope you do more of these!

Hello. Creative845 here, now known as Cr34tive these days. I have heard you played one of my old DYOM missions back in November 2023 which was surprising to see from someone with this many subs. I'm glad you really liked it.

Finally a speedrun of the Definitive Edition 🧡

Really nice format, watched entire video. Keep it up!

josh editing videos????? holy fucking shit no way

Just wanted to say I started watching your content again this year after only occasionally tuning in these last few years, and gotta say your content has just been absolutely great and I wanna thank you for providing us such a good time.

Nice edited video. Now I can watch this by day and watch the vod to fall asleep to ❤❤❤

Great job on editing this video, that was very entertaining and perfect timing-wise

Was having such a depressing day at work but I’m so glad you posted this. Time to watch while eating dinner! Also Josh edit??? Heck yeah!

Fun fact regarding the direct X and openGL thing: Xbox was shortened down from DirectXBox

good run! how did you get the controller overlay to work while using a real ps2? i found this thing called munia but its been sold out for a long time.

44:00 RIP Officent Tempanny

This is how I experienced GTASA for the first time. Playing it on pC afterwards it didn't feel too different graphically. It is only when you go back, that you really appreciate the difference. Damn I feel old rn... Anyway, thanks Josh for bringing back these nostalgic feelings.

Been doing and watching only SA Any% for so long that actually watching Josh do the final chase feels kinda weird. Also, seeing the game this blurry and pixelated brings back memories from way way back when I had just started watching speedruns for this game. Unreal. Love the edited cut-down version of this, still gonna watch the vods and full length but this is certainly appreciated for when I have less time. Cheers Josho x

Nice work josh, keep up the good work 👍🏻

Really nice edit ❤

Josh slowly (very) devolving into a tiktoker. Those tiktok text to speeches were cursed all along

Brilliant video josh! GG

How was it? Different... Maybe one bit of feedback: Personally, I don't like the zooming in on stuff. It throws me off way more than it helps me to find what to look for. Especially when chat suddenly spans the whole screen. Otherwise: Nice cut! Pacing seemed good, maybe just a little bit to hectic here or there. But a very solid start to edited content, keep it up!

Good luck with the new edited content! I liked the pacing and the smooth cuts. There was a couple of times where you showed a failed attempt of a mission and then didn't show the successful attempt, like with On the Wrong Side of the Tracks, and I was expecting to see the successful attmept. A section doesn't feel finished because of that. But I also understand that you need to edit 7+ hours of footage down to a watchable 40-50 minutes, lol. Anyways, best of luck with the channel.

I will be turning 24 this month. To think that it's been over 10-15 years since I had a PS2 and original XBOX. This brought back some good memories of those days, still wish I I owned the consoles. PS2 disc reader stop working, and I don't remember what happen to the XBOX, but it probably stop working in one way or another. Good editing, and can't wait to see what else you do with the PS2!

Seeing Josh get to play this the way i grew up with it is great.

W video as usual Josh 💯

I do love the lightning and have always loved the PS2 version as that was my childhood version of San Andreas that I always played but man.. Always did notice that heavy rain like at 16:03 makes it look like there's static across the screen

now, that these are going to be edited, I dont't have to be scared from watching the stream, and I don't have to watch these at 2 times speed to save time IRL

Would like to watch you do a 100% completion playthrough😊

GG! It's nice to hear that you enjoy this version of the game and might play more of it. I have many questions. Perhaps you have already addressed them in the full video which you conveniently linked. I'll check that out!

Just wanna say this new format already seems amazing. As much as I love watching long runs, seeing it being condemned into 40 minutes of just pure entertainment is so much better imo

Little tip for driving bikes with a gamepad - pushing the stick just ~75% forward is faster, than trying to replicate tapping "Lean Forward" button on PC - this way CJ kinda "crouches" on the bike and it's faster, than quickly flicking it forward over and over, and it's also way easier on the finger :D I really liked the editing, hope to see this kind of stuff more ;)

Man I love the ps2 version of SA, the colours and atmosphere are so much better imo

One amazing speedrun again Josh, also new to me that you use actual ps2 for that :D amazing haha. What did you use or recommend to record on such an old system ? especially that smooth. Btw something that im not sure you care about, but you are right PS2 is superior and better version, graphics arent actually pixaleted if you use a an original component PS2 cable it looks stunning and almost none pixelation and its pretty crisp as well + vibrant colors.

loved the video keep it up

barely related but it's still insane to me that one of the games that shaped my childhood arguably the most (even though I was 2 years old when it came out lol) is turning 20 years old this year, hopefully they can manage to get the vr version of gta sa out sometime this year in commemoration of it, being able to go through such an influential game in vr sounds really fun, especially if there are first person cutscenes too, hopefully.

I feel good now, like a viewer reborn

Awesome, will be back for the next PS2 run 🤝

god the minigun sounds so good and bassy, wonder if theres a mod that ports ps2 weapon audio to pc

here for this new era of youtube content 💪

The way the controller is over Josh, I thought he was wearing overalls for a moment

actually bite sized content. RESPECT+

What video output are you using?, it look pretty good, components cable, or ps2 to hdmi adapter?

Hell yeah, more SA PS2 content please 🙏

josh playing underground 2 would be hype

I spent a good chunk of my childhood playing the 2-player mode on PS2. I think we used to have either the aggressive NPCs cheat and/or the riot cheat along with NPCs having weapons and we just used to try to survive for as long as possible, it was so much fun. Frustrating part about the multiplayer was that you had to stay very close to each other and only one person could drive at a time, but it's pretty understandable that the game wouldn't have been able to handle anything more

Congratulations 👍

I wonder how much more has changed from this version that will surprise josh

Yo, this editing is great.

it sets the record

this game looks so much better on ps2. low resolution obviously but aside from that.

11:13 The auto aim is INCREDIBLE, in the PS2 version, especially if you scroll between multiple enemies (L2 & R2) fast while still shooting. It’ll stun them & keep them from getting too many shots onto you.

I will watch this AND the uncut version fully

I really like the shortened video showcasing most of the highlights. I wouldn't watch a full run otherwise.

God the ps2 version looks so good, not even 2dfx can replicate all the shader details

14:34 looks like a bob ross painting in vhs quality

Finally, edited content!

Jesus that ps2 minigun sound hits different

The note to the editor: Just cut it man. Don't fade in/out instead of a cut. Fades have a meaning to it, don't just misuse them please!!

This is better than watching a full run for me.

17:55 close your eyes and let your imagination go wild

The PS2 version looks so nice. I still remember the grass making the game running slower in some areas, ps2 dropping frames like crazy :D. The weather system was so complex and the colors were really nice compared to the PC version.

god this game looks so nice on a ps2 though

If you can maybe you should try the NTSC version, the picture may look better, it runs at 30fps and it doesn’t have upscale (448->512) artifacts (kind of horizontal lines, for exemple on the minimap, you can tell it’s not perfectly round there is some kind of stairs effect)

The most impressive thing is shooting with O instead of L1 the whole run

GTA SA on ps2 has a different feeling

i mean josh is just goated

18:25 - Great quotes said by great streamers.

17:46 That looked so wrong

hooray congratz on WR! now bring back VCS joshAngery

Legendary.

6:50 it was also probably on a CRT back then and removing the fuzz is usually unkind to visual design.

31:00 Health & Armour. Good mission!

Only Joshimuz can start a GTA SA playthrough and accidentally end up with a World Record 😂

Is this going to be in the next summoning salt video? XD

a correction on the graphical toolset, the games built in renderware, ps2 doesnt support opengl last time i modded a ps2 there was nothing based on opengl api on the ps2, its the graphics api the ps2 had was better, but the xbox was iirc stronger, direct x was brand new still so no one really knew how to make use of it, hence why the pc/xbox ports look barren and sometimes graphical glitches happen, but yeah pretty sure it wasnt using opengl, rockstar just knew how to developer for the ps2 at the time. a little research shows modders made a opengl like api for the playstation 2, which confirms the ps2 doesnt use opengl.

I love how a joke turned into WR. That's really inspiring!

19:53 Whait, does SA has day of the week? I've never noticed it and didn't know it can affect car spawning

rare CJ shooting voicelines

1:57 the ps2 doesn't actually support opengl, sony had their own proprietary library -(which might've been loosely similar to opengl if it's similar to ps3, psp, psvita architecure wise).- looking more into it, it was very barebones. however, i think most of the actual rendering stuff was abstracted away by renderware (which was made by criterion iirc), maybe the d3d implementation wasn't mature enough at the time?

The PS2 could not run OpenGL at all Josh, or any PC related APIs for that matter. Everything was custom built or massively adjusted for it because the PS2 did not have any PC hardware at all unlike the original Xbox which is why it could do graphical tricks the other systems couldn't, like the more vibrant colors, superior lighting/shading/transparency effects and better particle effects too - these were the strong suit of the PS2. I can only imagine how much of a nightmare it was to port from PS2 to Xbox and PC...

I hope you do ps2 nmg again, but without the route mess ups and beat Hugo's any%

This was perfect ☺️

So, does this run actually count? Weren't you running the game off of USB/HDD which would have different load times to the DVD drive?
