GTA 5: New Screens Vs GTA: San Andreas Comparison

NowGamer has compared the latest 'Leisure' and 'Transport' screenshots to their equivalents in GTA: San Andreas.

It's interesting to see the difference. Good article.

[Rumor]

Rollover to see difference?? I'm on a tablet dammnit!!

[nveenio]

You just have to touch to see them on a tablet.

That parachute shot really shows how far things have come in just 8 years. The irony is GTA 5 will most likely play 95% similar to San Andreas.

I hope you are right!

[Simco876]

Second this. If it does play like SA, then hot damn! (or coffee)

[josephayal]

nothing can beat San Andreas

[BitbyDeath]

I hope so, the driving mechanics in GTAIV were horrid.

[humbleopinion]

I actually hope it doesn't. I recently played it, and Going back to that dated control scheme after all the progress we've seen in the genre during the years... well, lets just say it wasn't pleasant. I felt as if I'm struggling with the controls and missed so many of the modern concepts I got used to since then. If I could summarize the controls in one word it would be "stiff".

From GTA IV to Just Cause 2 to Saints Row 3 to the recent Sleeping Dogs, I think it's amazing to see how much the mechanics and controls have evolved in less than a decade.

@skyward

yes san andreas was legendary. its the game that takes you away other games

[crimsonfox]

Truly great to see the evolution of this series. This is one of those games to tell everyone about I'm sure it's going to be GOTY quality R* never lets ME down. I'm glad their taking us back to Los Santos again. really glad. San Andreas is one of my top 3 games of all time. But I'm Really surprised that we aren't getting a Vice City this gen. although i don't think Vice City would work as good as it did outside of the 80's theme so if they do a new one in Vice City I think I'd like it to be in the 80's also. I'm sorry i just realized i got way off topic :P Just thinking out loud now.

San Andreas doesn't even look as bad as I thought it would 8 years later. That said, GTA V kills it and looks pretty great.

[-Gespenst-]

Yeah seeing those shots of SA kind of make me want to play it again. I genuinely still think it looks great.

[Yodagamer]

Man it would be awesome if they did a hd collection with this engine to celebrate gta V XD

[snowman2149]

Yeah, even better if its for the vita! San Andreas would look stunning with HD visuals on the vita's screen..

[Magic_Spatula]

So GTA V takes place in Los Santos?

[turgore]

Too bad rockstar got too lazy to create new cities for GTA games and instead they just remake the old ones.

[yeahokchief]

LAZY?? do you realize how long this game has probably been in development?? they innovate more than any other developer i can think of.

[Scenarist]

has nothing to do with lazyness ... but since they had to remake allt he assets for this city .. odnt see no reason why they couldnt choose another city

[Clarence]

This looks like the GTA game that we should have had the first time around.

[YodaCracker]

This was not possible on the PS1.

[ahamling27]

Err, you mean PS2? The PS1 games were 2D and had a top down perspective...

[PersonMan]

I hope they keep the driving mechanics of GTA IV. I don't want it to feel like an arcade game. I want to feel like I'm actually driving a weighted car. Saints Row bothered me with how the driving just didn't feel right.
