its so crazy seeing the whole map rendered in full. The environment artists did an incredible job making everything feel so much larger than it actually is.

The "CJD" references on the console are much more likely to be a reference to its artist, Campbell-John Dick. It's also the reason a large amount of props in the game are prefixed with "CJ".

7:08 This scene at the airport always felt oddly empty to me, like they planned more for it. I wonder if it was to cut down on resources in general, because of time constraints or to make it light enough for consoles New headcanon unlocked: Ryder is blind, but he's too gangsta to let anyone know, so he somehow learned to shoot and drive blind

9:30 I knew about this back in the ps2 days. if you used a cheat to spawn a jetpack whilst inside an interior, and flew upwards, you could get to 'interior land' and fly to different insides. Doors didn't work iirc so you'd have to go back to the room you came from. Also very surprised you didn't mention Liberty City where you could walk around outside of marcs bistro and that some of liberty city was loaded in.

I always love seeing that full SA map, how small the world actually is.

I remember there was a way we could escape an interior and make it through the void to a another interior. And it was a tattoo shop that had tattoos that you couldn't get at the other shops.

That recreation of the pause menus map was really cool to see. I’ll definitely look forward to seeing other GTA episodes someday!

The garage interior in Doherty is indeed at the actual location. That neighborhood is also mostly always loaded in even when the rest of the map isn’t, for whatever reason.

Honestly I think the low-poly stuff should absolutely be shown off more, since the fact that the massive map was seamless on the PS2 was a miracle. And yes, comparing the in-game roadmap to the actual map overview was awesome and please do that for every single one of these GTA eps.

Ah this brings me back to the modding days... Actually the "dev cubes" on the cars are more like "markers", included in every car model in the game. They shouldn't be visible obviously, but they are used as a marker for the game engine to know where the wheels connect, where the steering wheel connects, where the driver and passengers can sit, the location of the door hinges, and even the spot where the fuel port is (because when you shoot them in-game, the cars explode).

09:57 This is what I wanted to see ever sinds I first got the original game. Like many other's I found ways to clip out of interior area's and then jump/jetpack/fly around the void, only to find other rooms, while also falling down and ending up back on the exterior map. Same for when doing the brief visit to the location of the earlier game, where when you escape its bounds you can fall down back to the normal map (or if you know where its located, fly up on the normal exterior map, and eventually see a glimpse of that area before the game forces you back down due to reaching the flight height limit) I always wanted to see what it would look like when its loaded all at once.

boundary break never dies and it's just as interesting as when i first stumbled on this channel years ago. thanks a bunch and hope for more growth for the channel

7:39 "-making for one, very elaborate restaurant. *whispers into mic for a split second* this is stupid" lmao had to replay that part twice because I thought I was hearing something 😂

comparing the motion of the two food trays, they seem to be tied together, I would guess that during modelling, they either accidentally duplicated the tray or grouped a second tray to the model when exporting it to the game. I'm also almost certain the reason it stayed is it was never noticed, as I'm sure they would have certainly removed it for performance.

One of the most awaited Boundary Breaks for me!

Fun Fact about T Posed characters in scenes. You can still see one instance of this IN game itself. In the famous Order Cutscene from Drive By, CJ, Smoke, Ryder and Sweet are all T posed on the corner of the sidewalk all mashed together clearly in view

With the jetpack, you can fly through the ceiling in the sports hall and visit some of the building interiors

I love things like the astrays going crazy out of bounds. I wonder how many timed the devs tried to fix it to end up just puting it very far away from the camera instead so you can't see it

The opening where you zoomed, is something I never got to see as a teen when SA was still very limited visually. I used to enjoy flying to see aerial shots of the map but at the time the clouds and draw distance made it impossible to see the entire state as a whole. I know it makes the map look tiny, but it's like looking at a model village version with all the details still there.

Did you... did you say "Pair of lettuce"? xD Anyways, great video as always :)

Seeing the low poly world, and seeing it change real time to the actual high poly world was so cool! I could watch a whole video of just that, maybe with some slow motion added in!

Thank you for all the dope content, man! I appreciate your dedication.

I've been seeing a lot of love for SA recently. Just started playing through it again recently after many years. Absolutely love this game. I feel i could spend a week straight going out of bounds in it

I remember the "interior world" being a urban legend, you could jetpack out of the boxing room into the void and some people said going in a certain direction for 15min you could get to a ghost town copy of the the Vice City islands

Was looking into the Arrivals sign more thoroughly, and while the obvious ones are Liberty and Vice, most may not know that "carcer" is the city from ManHunt (you can see the MH next to it here), Leith is the city where the Rockstar Offices were located at the time, Tokyo was their next game as seen in the recent Rockstar leaks, and i assume Johnson is just a reference to the main character here.

I once accidentally hit the eject button instead of the power off button while the game was freeroam and instead of freezing, slowly the sounds started looping or stacking atop one another - kind of otherworldly. I could also keep running around within the loaded block. After a few minutes the game would eventually lock up/freeze as you would have expected it to do in the first place. Was my first boundary break-esque discovery!

I wonder how much of these are carried over to The Definitive Edition. Would be a fun video to compare the two versions!

Who would have thought a KZfaq channel could be more than just content on a screen? Shesez has proven to be a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of typical entertainment-it's a journey of connection, resilience, and pure joy. Last Christmas, my 14-year-old son stumbled upon this channel, and little did we know it would become a beacon of light during a tough battle with cancer. Watching the videos and exploring the channel became our escape, our sanctuary, and a source of strength. Navigating the content, initially, was filled with laughter and exploration, providing a much-needed break from the harsh realities of hospital visits. Shesez has become a symbol of resilience and shared strength during challenging times. To the creators, if you're reading this, thank you for curating content that has touched our hearts in ways words can't express. Your channel is not just a channel; it's a canvas for moments of connection, laughter, and tears of both joy and courage. Thank you for crafting more than just a channel-thank you for crafting a journey of connection and love.

Fun fact: in the big smoke order cutscene, at the beginning you can see tposes at the bottom left, this even affects 4:3 afaik, but its patched in the definitive edition

Sharing this out to the buddies because this video is an absolute treat. GTA San Andreas is my favorite in the series, and I love the attention to detail in it.

10:52 Also a fun fact: in the mission Drive-thru, a T-Pose of Big Smoke is actually visible, right during the cutscene starts, he can be seen at the bottom left of the screen lodged inside the gate, right before the infamous Big Smoke ordering

10:00 A fun fact, i knew this for the most part due to a bug that was often times used to get to the liberty city map. Using the jetpack cheat in the grove street gym you can fly out the roof and fall to the surface and roam in the invisible "Ghost" city as it remains culled out, but the collision remains. Another fun fact is since you are in a non-combative indoor instance you wont take fall damage if you were to unequip the jetpack and fall to the ground. This game had its own little boundry breaks you coulld do on your own, and i love it.

I think I laughed my hardest playing Vice City and San Andreas because driving around the map was different than GTA 4 and 5. There was a certain feel for it and running over peds were somehow allot more hilarious. Some of the cut scenes were framed in a way that was unintentionally super comical. There's just a charm with those old GTA engines that is fun and unique.

Legit miss hearing Shesez voice over. Love waking up in the middle of the night to one of these og certified classics, it creates that warm feeling ❤

That blooper that made you giggle, it happens normally when you run someone over with your motorcycle at high speeds and I think it happens more often and with better results in Vice city

I wonder what GTA1 or GTA2 has to offer outside the boundaries

Fun Fact about the Liberty City Airport area: you can actually access it during gameplay if you have a specific version of the game, by using the jetpack to fly out of bounds through the corner ceiling tiles in the gym near Grove Street. You have to follow a very specific path that involves flying blindly in a black void, to make sure that the streets of Liberty City actually load, but once they do you can even walk around a few parts of them (though most of it lacks collision)

I was OBSESSED with the unused interior universe!! I watched The123robot's series probably 15 times now, this video was worth waiting for and I'm so glad you used the original version instead of the remaster

I knew some of these secrets as I used some mods before to see the behind the scenes of cutscenes, it's pretty cool to see what the devs didn't wanna show people

Great work mate. Hope for a P2 - remember to look at the Liberty City area as well (there is a mission based in it in San Andreas) for some fun things. Used to break out of the bounds all the time as a young lad.

Any other Manhunt players catch the Carcer City reference at 7:51 👍 it even has MH as the initials for the state and the GTA cities match up too. It also looks like the game was trying to tell us CJ is OP right at the start 🤨

13:02 Correct, this is indeed 1:1. If you were to use the +350 CrazyTrainer and head to the same garage in overworld and load the interior 'world', you can pretty much traverse the entire map (inefficiently) as the collisions are still there, though I haven't really tried it out that much.

Seeing the entire San Andreas map in 3D was kinda satisfying ngl

OG Loc's bandana texture is from the beta which also used in the android and "remastered" version of the game.

Hey, congrats on the sponsor Shesez! Really happy to see you getting that! ❤

13:14 No, that's actually a reference to "CJ Dick", Rockstar North's Interior/prop artist. You can find his initials on many of the props he designed.

LEGENDARY breakdown! I remember when I first discovered that the interiors were all in their own world instance high up in the clouds!

Still my favorite GTA game, just edging out VC. Countless hours sunk into it.

Good morning glad i joined the membership!

7:39 Don't think that was supposed to stay in the video 😂

7:39: "Making for one elaborate restaurant (whispers) so stupid."

The draw distance and especially the motion blur did a huge amount to make the game seem as big as it did back then, since it would look and feel like you were going a lot faster than you were, but actually not travelling much distance, so driving from LS to SF, even though it was just a few mins, would feel like an actual road trip. Flying too would feel like you were on the way somewhere for ages, and then you’d slowly see the shadowy tops of buildings in SF through the fog. As we saw when the “remastered” version came out and the draw distance and fog was all gone, everything was actually super close.

Loaded San Andreas up on my Steam Deck recently and remembered how much of a masterpiece the game is. Also, for anyone who wants to play along at home SA probably has the easiest Boundry Break in the world. Just grab a jet pack from the cheat in any interior and you can do your own zoom outs and check out the interior from any angle. It was my first out of bounds experience as a teenager.

Thanks for all your work man, given your recent video I made sure to turn on notifications, like the vid and comment to hopefully help the algorithm a tiny bit. Hope things work out for you and you get to keep doing this full time! Love your content and I appreciate your love for not only video games but the process and human element involved with making them. Wish you the best of luck!

I replayed this recently, the original, not the remaster and still as an adult am shocked at how they managed to make this game seem SO massive, like i assumed it was just my teenage brain thinking it was large (although it genuinely was bigger than anything else at the time) but playing it again and knowing how small itbis, it still feels absolutely massive, it fewls bigger than gta v!

So you’re just gonna skip gta 4?

I'm surprised you still haven't done My Friendly Neighborhood yet. It will definitely be worth checking out for you.

one thing that early GTA games can teach is that mocap animation and Lip Sync especially can do a hell of a lot to make even the lowest poly graphics look good. this game came out when games like MGS2 was out, so the fact that the game still feels as high calibre as that game because of the lip sync and cutscene mocap performances....not to mention Samuel .L. Jackson and Chris Penn....is amazing.

I hope you're doing better man. I saw your other video and I always looked up to you even when you had less than 20k subs. I always admired the effort and passion you put into every video, and its devastating knowing how much you're struggling right now. Stay strong.

The coolest thing about the unused interior world is that you can fully explore it even WITHOUT MODS I even did it in 2 Player on my old channel and recently did it again with the intro cutscene I recommend everybody watches The123robot's series it's amazing!!

Thanks, as usual, for the wonderful video, Shesez! This sort of makes me want to pop into San Andreas just to check out the big differences between the old game and the new one!

wow its always ALWAYS so interesting how cutscenes work Out of bounds. it pleases me that sometimes it does do weird things . appreciate all these videos!

Haha I love that at 7:39 you can hear Shesez cringe at his own joke 😂

Glad to see you used the OG version of San Andreas for this video instead of thay so called "definitive edition". Respect 👊

7:56 In the recent leak, there was information about cancelled GTA Tokyo for PS2, so that's probably why Tokyo is on the list

Such a good video. I can’t wait to watch it. Thank you for this. I love when I see a boundary break video on a game that I previously loved.

I always thought the map was suspiciously square. I remember the Definitive Edition coming out without fog and seeing the whole world just to realize it was just a box.

half of this is just a copy from Slippy Slides

So i used to glitch the game. If you took a tank and put in the flying cars, infinite air and indestructible vehicle cheats, then fly out as far as you can into the ocean and dive to as deep as you can. I would use the turret pointed backward to speed it up. At some point, the game would teleport you to the desert near the military base. I could get it to work in Vice City as well without cheats. I would take a boat and ram the corner of the map, and occasionally, it would teleport somewhere on the map.

Its possible that the MD letters on the controller could come from the fact that Rockstar North used to be known as DMA Design Ltd. Who were known for the Lemmings games. Just a random fact lol.

i think given the room the CJ500 is in, the buttons probably stand for "CJ, my dog" as is said in big smokes intro cutscene

We absolutely need a part 2, great video as always and looking forward to the next

This video doesn't even scratch the surface for the amount of interesting stuff you can find in GTA SA. There's people that have dedicated hundreds of hours just exploring all the "Heavens" (as they call it) and there are ton of interesting unused interiors in the game.

If you're sponsored by war thunder, maybe you could ask the devs for the tools to make one of this videos on their game. Not sure how the sponsorship or online games work but some people may be interested in details on the ships, planes and menus

Ignoring the many Easter eggs and conspiracy theories associated with this game was CRIMINAL. You gotta remake this one and visit under the ocean, the Resident Evil building, the bridge sign that includes the space it takes up on disc. Interior of the Casino? So much valuable information missed.

The burger tray things is just a parenting issue. I've often used the same trick to avoid unparenting objects

Just goes to show us how much work they put in behind the scenes of this game, and how perfect the gameplay was for back then to fit all of this into 1 huge map on a disc.

You can hear Shesez talking to him self saying "its so stupid", when he is talking about the airport screens having the same texture as Burger Shot ones

Did he stop begging for more views n money

AMAZING VIDEO @SHESEZ ! KEEP IT UP! Keep doing popular video games and your videos will do better. we all are counting on you!

I just finished this game 3 days ago, haven’t watched your channel in years too, so the stars just connected

Shesez: *Noclips below Big Smoke's house* Big Smoke: YOU NOCLIPPED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL

13:17 It's actually a nod to Campbell-John Dick. A model designer who worked at Rockstar and always left his initial "CJ" as a signature of his work.

GTA San Andreas really has the best designed map in the series for scale. It feels massive but that's because it is densely populated cities each seperated by countryside areas with winding roads and looping highways. And the draw distance is used to spectacular effect to not break the illusion even when you are flying in a plane or standing atop a mountain or skyscraper. This smaller open world giving the illusion of a bigger one is not only more practical for the developers because it is less resource intensive, but it is better for the player because the map is not only more densely packed with attention to detail, but it also takes less time for experienced players to get from point A to point B. Every time I'm playing a modern open world game and I have to travel the distance entire map of San Andreas to my next objective, through a city which looks almost identical in that same distance... Well let's just say it makes me long for the days that I would drive that combine harvester down an 80° incline to try and save the 3 minutes of time it would take to take the winding road. Honestly even the most driving heavy missions in San Andreas feel like something that would be commonplace nowadays. This comment has gone on to long to give specific examples so if anyone wants to give their thoughts I'll be happy to talk about what I mean.

i think GTA SA was one of the first games i was introduced to out of bounds areas in video games when i tried out a few of the cheat codes, i didn't think much of it... but it was a cool unique feeling to experience such empty areas

Fantastic behind the scenes! Thanks for your hard work!

I totally expected not much since it’s an open world game….i was wrong. Awesome episode!

This was actually very cool! You showed a lot of stuff i didn't know or didn't know it was made this specific way. When i started playing GTA SA in a Cyber cafe in 2006 or 05, i saw on internet that you could enter in forbidden interios through the Gym roof and so on. It was so mystical for me, a real secret and a misteryous thing we had the chance to explore. I just needed to try.

just wanted to say i saw your most recent video and going to try to watch a good chuck of your newer vids in full so hopefully it gets pushed out to more people

Amazing video. San Andreas is my personal favorite GTA. I have so many fond memories during a great time in my life. Thank you for bringing them all back. So interesting to see behind the boundaries of such a beloved game. Well done. Liked and shared.

Shesez thank you thank you so much for this one. I'm glad you did a video of a game that I played a lot back in the day. I hope to see more PS2 games on boundary break. I have done a lot of glitching in this game and getting out of bounds and even to liberty city. Hope to see more videos on this game.

Gotta mention the boundary break glitch in GTA Vice City when you get there, that was the first glitch I have ever done that led to me discovering how insane the worlds outside of what we can see in games are, and when you’re there you gotta do a zoom out cause the game’s map would have to be insane

I’m super happy to see you posted a video today!

Grew up on this game, reminds me of how I would think about whats in the places I couldn't get to. Thanks for the awesome video man!

GTA San Andreas is one of my favorite games of all time! I'm so glad you covered it! Great video as always!

Loved this video! Thanks to Shesez for all the hard work he does.

One worth noting is buying a drink has the can model appearing and being thrown into the ground. The can model gets copied instead of reusing the same one from before. The can models do disappear when you start walking away.

Loved the map comparison. My favorite part about boundary break is getting a different look at the maps I know.

Thank you for another awesome video. I think the luggage scene might have previously been that CJ picks up both bags, one with the other hand!
