Just a fun trip/trick, but if you max out respect, recruit a bunch of gang members and go get a bus from the airport (you can only get a bus at an airport) you can fit all your gang members in it. Drive to Ballas territory and let everyone out. Learned that from the old game guide book.

"San Andreas as you remember it in your head" is the best description for all these remastered games

I never understood why future GTA games didn't have RPG mechanics like San Andreas. The ability to get fat or fit, the ability to learn different martial arts styles, and the ability to improve your stamina by running or swimming a lot, and so on. These things should have been evolved and expanded upon in the later games.

This definitive edition release will finally show the 2010 generation exactly what us old heads have been describing to them about San Andreas. It is and will remain the greatest GTA game of all time

Hope the younger generation plays this and see why Specifically GTA SA is one of the greatest games of all time

San Andreas how you remembered it in your head , nailed with that one bro 😂

this truly was an unbelievable game when it came out. I'll never forget playing it nonstop with my older brother

Pro-tip: As soon as you’re able to control CJ, go out to Montgomery (small town north of Los Santos) and do the paramedic missions, they’re way easier out in the sticks and you get max health when you finish and decent amount of cash for doing these

Can't wait to pass this game again and live some childhood memories.

Looking forward to seeing Smokes order in high def 😂

So, number 5 is definitely not a “brand new game feature”, gang warfare/color coded territories were for sure a part of the original version. Still fun to do that again, tho!

Nearly 20 years later and I still have the Jetpack cheat code etched into my muscle memory.

I’m so stoked to replay these games. But San Andreas in particular. I might have to even start with San Andreas because I’ve already been meaning to replay it for a couple years now.

"It's not like Resident Evil 2 rework, it's like how you remember Gta San Andreas in your head." Never heard a more true statement in my life. After revisiting older classics such as, Battlefront 2, Infamous, Call of Duty 2, ect. I remembered them being perfect games with good enough graphics but playing them again I was kind of disappointed.. (All those games are still amazing!)

I'm playing them in order...I want to re-experience the improvements from game to game.

I remember playing through GTA 1, 2 and London, then hearing of the releases of GTA 3 and Vice City but it was the build up to the release of San Andreas that gave me that first experience of being incredibly excited for a video game release, buying all the PlayStation magazines on release day to get the latest screenshots and any info!

"You picked the wrong house fool!!!!" "like it says in the good book,we are blessed and cursed...same things make us laugh make us cry" "I'll have 2 number 9's a number 9 large a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7 two number 45's one with cheese and a large soda" "All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ" "They'll remember my name...Big Smoke they'll say" In 5 lines of dialogue Big Smoke was more memorable than any other GTA character

What’s he says at 1:40 is so true . You just had to be there when it came out . This was an absolute revolution in gaming .

Fastest way to get rich in SA is the race track. Save game so you can reset if you lose. Do it kinda early and you'll be good all game. No cheat needed

San Andreas is the only one of the 3 I never played. My brother did that one and I watched. Lol I used to enjoy driving nowhere listening to the radios on 3 and Vice City. Loved the older ones. Glad I can finally play SA for myself

Man the OG San Andreas is such a legend like I've completed that game 4 times it is so good happy to hear they are bringing it back it's been a big part of me growing up

GTA SA simply the G. O. A. T . The amount of memories I have with this game can't match any game ever without a doubt. Playing with your friends And cousins and doing random crazy things. 😍😍😍

people often overlook the stuff like paramedic, police and fire missions but they're worth doing as gives you maxed out health max armour and fireproof.

fire video!! i might have been the only one who played gta san andreas on current gen (backwards compatible for xbox one), but the turf war was in that as well

This was a brilliant breakdown for new comers, I will say one activity that gets overlooked a lot because most don't even know it exists is the drug courier missions! You hop on the BMX at the liquor store near town square and go round delivering packages, it's pretty sweet!

Gang war’s was my favorite… It makes totally sense to re-release them again, especially GTA, it’s a good game!

A neat trick I learned a few years ago is when a rival gang is attacking your hood you can go in a gym. When you come out the attack is over and the hood is still yours.

I still have my GTA San Andreas strategy guide that I got from GameStop back in 2004. The hype was real leading up to its release. So many great memories.

Can't wait to relive "I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda." And not hear "All We Had to Do Was Follow the Damn Train CJ!" on my first rerun.

Now I'm boutta see myself in 4k, daaaaamn

Man so many memories with this game. The PS2 was for sure hands down the best console of all time. The nostalgia and how simple it was back then. Glad I lived it and sucks for the gen z. I really hope they give it a try.

These games define a big part of my childhood, staying up until nearly dawn playing san andreas and vice city with friends. Great times

Just finished San Andreas two days ago and it hits way different when your older. This game has way more activities to do than GTA5 (story-mode). You could say San Andreas remastered is basically GTA6 while we’re waiting for it.

This game was way ahead of its time for a 2004 game. Actually I love all three of these games but I am really looking forward to play San Andreas the most cuz of the amount of content the game has to offer.

"San Andreas arguably has the most things to do" low key it has more that GTA V it feels like

Good to see that you are staying true towhat it says in the title of the video because many KZfaqrs are just milking GTA Trilogy with clickbaits like crazy for the views...

Spoiler free tip: While gang territory is worth doing, don’t bother taking over areas that aren’t required as part of a mission. Wait til closer to the end of the game to take over everything.

10:03 Back in the day: "no hot coffee because we want to sell more games to younger audiences" Today: (exact same thing) The irony is that the game is full to the brim with gangs, curse words, robbery and theft, cold blooded killing and torturing, picking up hookers to do it in the car and all the inappropriate things you can name, heck even lap dances! and it's still labelled to be playable for young audiences, but as soon as the dirty deed becomes an interactive minigame, its rating instantly becomes worse and they can't sell the game. Keep in mind this game has everything else i've listed above, plus in one early mission where you go to a house of ballas and beat them up with a baseball bat with Ryder, you can see a scene on the side when they enter the house where a girl is giving a guy a blunt jinski, i remember seeing that and being like "this game already has sex stuff in it, and even when it's not shown it's implied and 90% of people will understand what is implied". The censoring of stuff is so ridiculous it's hilarious.

6:17 but with the Forth bridges. As a Scot that was an awesome little touch when I first played San Andreas. It'll be cool to see how the cities look in the new game.

I’m going hard on San Andreas & completing everything 100%… just like I did back in the day. One of my all time favorite GTA games & games in general.

the fact that your guy can eat in a game back in 2004 is amazing, we would turn it on just to work out and see the gains, or even just to play a game of pool lol. games now don't even offer that.

I can't believe you didn't put in " Here we go again" in the intro, IMO it never gets old😂

I remember how excited I was reading a gaming mag that had like a 10 page exclusive on SA and seeing pictures of CJ getting perused at night in the woods by a helicopter spotlight. My hype was off the charts and the game lived up to it.

This game was truly something special. My first gta was gta 3, but vice city was already out by the time I played 3 for the first time. Right after that I played vice city....soon San Andreas was coming out and I couldn't wait to get into my keyboard typing class in high school just so I could follow the progress of the game. Screenshots and previews will often come out and we lost it with the amount of activity they claimed u could do in the game, like playing basketball for example (although it sucked once u get to actually play it lol). This game was just something else, and Mark one of the best eras of gaming. That year alone resident evil 4 and metal gear solid 3 came out on ps2....great memories.

All you need to know is that its going to kick ass playing San Andreas on the Switch.

I wonder how new players will react to the side characters, Woozie specially😂

I played a bit of San Andreas and bully yesterday on my PS2 ,yep still have it . Loved every moment of it 🥰

I miss my Good Old Days 😭 Thank you this video, it brings back my elementary days.

Gangwars and robbing houses for Ryder, a gang member, were in the original. Like doing paramedic missions and cop missions increase your health and armor stat, God im old now lmao. Ur great and these videos have me feeling like I'm in HS again getting hyped for this game, again lol

Okay my jaw dropped when you gave the fact about CJ and his driving stat, like how he uses the mirror to back up when his stats high...I've been playing that game since 2012 and never even knew that🤯🤯🤯🤯

Fat CJ has the funniest lines. "Lunch Money" when he picks up money or stuff about having a heart attack in free roam. Plus that voice the voice actor puts on lol

Dual wielding the SMG's while flying around on the jet pack was the best!

I'm just hoping the graphics are stylized well and these don't look like shit. Waiting to see gameplay, but im most hyped for Vice City.

Oh boy, if this sells well it's going to give Rockstar one more reason to not work hard on a new game for the next decade ... sigh. But I've got to say the thought of playing the entire game with Fat CJ is hilarious.

Gang warfare in the game was always there and is not a "new" feature, it was accessible after Running Dog and you worked against Ballas and Vagos. There is coding in the OG that suggested they wanted to continue it into other cities and had other gangs most noticeable as the npcs in San Fierro and Los Venturas via the teal colored eses and Korean, triad and Italian. Unfortunately any gang warfare gets cleaned up once you're forced into the country and is no longer accessible..take your time with it in Los Santos easily the best mechanic they had outside of the import/export.

I'm interested in reliving my nostalgic days when I played all three games. However, I'll definitely wait until the physical copies come out in December cause I'd like to know what has changed for the better or worst or even if there is any censorship. Hopefully optional quest "Supply Lines" is less frustrating as well(originally I only beat it thanks to using code breaker).

This is my childhood right here, can't wait to jump back in and relive it alongside all the old memories.

There are 2 missions that I hope they fixed, and most OG's that may know them. For those that don't, here you go. 1. The train mission 2. The RC plane

"Getting fat is a thing" - Falcon, 2021 🤣

I'm a long time fan since the show first aired, but i was confused when you said it had new features, that i know a are in fact in the original, but ehh what ev, still a good show Good work dudes keep up the good work

I can't wait to finally play vice city and gta 3 for the first time !

“Dude you’re letting yourself go” idk why I laughed so hard at this 😂😂

Who remember Multi Theft Auto? Cit2 server turned this game into an MMORPG and it was amazing! I still say R* took most of their ideas for GTA Online from that mod. We had it all before they did, so in a way, we lovingly ripped them off, and they lovingly ripped us off... and then charged us for it LOL! Good times, good times. Totally buying this and not complaining it's just... funny.

The hype build up the couple of months, weeks and days before San Andreas released was unbelievable. I was 15, I took in every single bit of information I could find from Gamesmaster magazines and analysed every screenshot for hours. And when it came out it still blew me away. Seriously good times for games, the industry has stagnated and gotten worse over time, but those memories are amazing.

Hell yeah I'm getting this when it releases! These three games were and still are apart of my childhood. It's going to feel good going back to these in all of their remastered definitive glory! We don't have too long to wait.

I’m excited! Loving the graphics! Loving the preservation of the art style! Love the modernizing of the controls! Can’t wait to discover what’s been added and removed and hopefully that they connected the worlds even more . Can’t wait!

Came here just to say I love your content gameranx, I will unfortunately not be playing SA when it comes out on game pass, sadly my game pass ran out like a few days ago but I will def be purchasing the full def edition

i just wanna see how cool it will feel to make CJ buffer and teach him boxing in 4k res

I love how everyone is like " this is my childhood" when these games were hard M for mature games hahah great parents out there.

You forgot to mention there's 2 player CO-OP

They way he pronounces it "Vigil-Auntie" made my day.

Players: "We want a new game" Rockstar: "I got you *wink wink*"

These 3 games made my childhood and are partly the reason why I'm such an introvert lol. Now whether thats a good or bad thing is still up for debate😅

I can’t freaking wait! It’s going to be fun to play these stories through again, with fresh graphics!

Love the “Killing in the name” shoutout. My sentiments exactly 💪🙌

Can’t wait till tomorrow so I can go back to San Andreas. I remember when this game came out and changed everything especially the addition of swimming. If u know you known

Personally I wish they would add more health to the vehicles as a "Quality of life" update

Gameranx thank you. So many KZfaqrs are spoiling the game . They see a character and then just start explaining what their missions is all about and it’s like wtf. I have not played these games In 15+ years I don’t remember Anything about these games. It’s basically all new to me. You guys are literally the only people I have seen try to avoid spoilers. Thank tou

Tip to cheese a bunch of money in this game. There is a rural safe house fairly close to one of the horse gambling stations (its been 17 years, I don't remember exactly where). Save there and then bet all of your money a race. If you lose save scum and do it again. It generally doesn't take too many tries before you're set for cash.

I just hope this edition has the old cheats, same as the original ones.

Vice City was my favorite out of this trilogy! I’d be so happy if the next title takes place back in Vice!

Rockstar doin everything but releasing gta 6

Ahey I've played this when I was young and all the new stuff you said has been in the game like the burglary gang wars

When commenting on the visuals, saying that it will be "San andreas, how you remember it in your head", was so spot on...

God, just remembering the cheat sound effect already give me a goosebump.... I'm not even heard it yet

I don’t really remember much of gta 3, I never played vice city, but I do remember having so much fun playing San Andreas and I’m so glad it’s included with game pass, can’t wait to replay one of the best games in history!!!

I’m so ready for Thursday! GTA 3 was my first game when I got a ps2 for Christmas in 2001

I enjoy being able to use the R2&L2 to accelerate and brake makes driving enjoyable and races more fun. I also appreciate the checkpoint mechanism. Now. I think the aiming need work and the swimming need even more work it feels like there's input lag underwater.

Very suspicious there ain’t more gameplay trailers of the game 🤔

Rockstar should give Bully the same treatment

I used to love how much you can costumes your cars

The original was that good that i had to keep quiet on the bus cos everyone kept going on about the hip hop stations etc, i kept listening to the country one. A couple of things that u say are new though, (i may have heard it wrong) the burglar side missions and the gang warfare stuff were all in the original.

Dude I cannot wait for the trilogy!! I never finished 3 and vice city so I know I’m gonna put hours into it!

I can't wait to relive my childhood mixed with modernized fashion 🥰 My parents and my cousins parents would let us play anything, we got away with everything We asked for GTA 3 when it came out on launch day and we got it and played the heck out of it 2002 came and we got Vice City played that and 2004 came and we got San Andreas and I played it so much with my cousins, we would sleep at each other's houses playing the heck out of them with junk food to keep us up throughout the nights we played, man so many good times, being kids in the 2000s

Bro nothing beats cruising around los Santos listening to ice cube using your hydraulics in your low rider on a way to a mission. Maybe stop in to get a workout in or a Burger. It's just so good it's so nostalgic.

Queueing at midnight in the UK to get San Andreas on release. Great memories.

I hope big smoke can actually shoot this time in wrong side of the tracks, and they polish the flying controls

I played San Andreas so much. Love playing as CJ & the body/clothes customization options were always fun to mess with. Really looking forward to this one.

I absolutely love how you said it's not a remake, it's more like how you remember it in your head........that's sooo true I have so many childhood memories that are ruined by going back to old games and it not being as beautiful as I remember lol 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

I played this game all night into the morning on weekends as a kid. I still do now, it just feel like anything anymore. Damn you Nostalgia
