GTA San Andreas - The Introduction now for free

Rockstar Games is pretty busy publishing old GTA-media. After the releases of GTA: Vice City for iOS and GTA: San Andreas for PlayStation 3, Rockstar also released GTA: San Andreas - The Introduction for free on its own website. The Introduction was previously only available on the 2 disc soundtrack and the Special Edition of the game.

GTA: San Andreas - The Introduction introduces the story of GTA: San Andreas. In the movie, Carl 'CJ' Johnson receives disturbing news about his mother from his brother. Other characters we know from San Andreas and other GTAs, like Ken Rosenberg, Salvatore Leone and Officer Tenpenny are also in the movie.

nice one....Liked the video

It's nice to know what happen prior to CJ coming back to Grove St and what CJ was doing before he found out what happened. Brings back memories, I need to play the game all over again. One of my favorite GTA games from RockStar.

Hopefully we will see CJ in another game from RockStar and not just make an appearance or a cameo.

farhad2k84148d ago

Am I the only one who knew about this back when the game came out? I've literally watched it 10 times prior to the re-release in 2012. Or maybe I have no life, and I'm GTA crazy. :(

optimus4148d ago

I must be the only one that never played this game...maybe i will sometime next year after i'm done with grand theft auto 5.

PRHB HYBRiiD4148d ago

u should play san andreas first that way you have an idea of what you can expect for gta 5

optimus4148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

Why do you say that? As far as i know all grand theft autos stand on their own. 5 is not a direct sequel to san andreas...there may be references of past grand theft games but nothing that would deviate from the main plot of the current game...besides, we already know there are 4 new lead characters in 5.

b163o14148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

I'd pick it up, it'll be something to kind of take your mind off GTAV. Plus by the time you finish it, GTAV will be that much closer to a release...

I thought it was 3 main characters...

PRHB HYBRiiD4148d ago

well gta 5 is going to be very similar to san andreas,is going to be in los santos there will be bikes,jets,atvs,parachutes etc, i know the story is a complete different thing.

RuperttheBear4148d ago

If I hadn't played it before now, I'd be buying it as soon as possible and playing it. It's one of the best games ever made. The only reason I could see for not wanting to play it yet is if you didn't enjoy playing great games.

optimus4147d ago (Edited 4147d ago )

"great games" are subjective, that's what they said about fallout 3 and knights of the old republic and i didn't like either of those.

@b163...my mind isn't on gta 5 like you might think, hence why i thought it was 4 lead characters. i don't read too much in to games that i plan to play so as not to spoil the experience... i'm more of a casual gamer nowadays so it may take me about a month or 2 to finish san andreas which i could probably find it for 20 bucks or less nowadays so i'll put it on my to do list for 2013.

gta28004148d ago

I've beaten San Andreas many times already but this video just made me want to play it all over again. I think I will be buying the PSN one now.

Moncole4148d ago

I dont believe you because no one can beat the airplane training so many times.

RayRay364148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

I've beat SA so many times the airplane training is a walk in the park. It was hard the first couple times. I think people over exaggerate about how hard it was tho. I mastered those missions

goldwyncq4148d ago

I did! Though it took me god knows how many hours. The PC controls were just terrible.

bozebo4148d ago

Everybody seems to find a different one harder than the others. On PS2, I found the car one really hard, but it was easy on the XBOX where the boat one was hard instead. On PC there are issues with the controls almost, so they vary - the bike one is a bit of a prick. I never found the flying one hard, but that damn mission in SF where you have to shoot the delivery trucks with the RC plane... FML.

Y_51504148d ago

I forgot what was that mission about? The airplanes was a little complex but easy to control when yo get used to it. I love those airplanes, especially flying though the skies listening to the rock station. :)

And yet, no less immersive than the graphics in new games.

Xbox Is Not Your Friend

After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

lol I’m not a big MS gamer but Sony and a number of others have laid off ton of people as well. Where are the ridiculous articles about them not being your friend? Gaming news is such a joke and these sites wonder why they have to beg for money/patreons or flood with 5x more ads.

Profchaos58m ago

I think the sentiment is corporations are there to make money they are not out friends that are harsh and cutthroat when lt comes to the bottom line so why do we proclaim our love for any gaming company from the rooftops when they wouldn't care about us unless we are buying the next thing.

We need to beore objective with how we view these "teams"

cthulhucultist25m ago

ok here is a reality check. Tech companies have been firing thousands of employees the last couple of years.

I find it odd that the percentage of employees sacked from MS

QUOTE
"Microsoft announced approximately 1,900 job cuts across its gaming division, including Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax, and Xbox. 8.6% of its colossal 22,000-strong global workforce. "

is worth writing an article condemning the company, when Sony Interactive fired 8% of its workforce (900 people approximately).

https://news.crunchbase.com...

Is the writer concerned about the percentage of the workforce fired or the number of employees?

Lets not forget that Unity laid off 25 percent of its workforce (1800 people) and Discord laid off 17 percent of its employees.

You also have to take into account the AI issue reported in the article. MS is heavily invested in A.I. They have invested in Open A.I (chatgpt 4+Dalle 3), in Abu Dhabi’s G42 and in French AI company Mistral.

These LLMs have already replaced thousands of jobs as A.I usage becomes more common

https://www.cbsnews.com/new...
https://www.theverge.com/20...
https://tech.co/news/compan...

This is the new reality. Even nvidia CEO said that games will fully A.I generated.

https://www.pcgamer.com/sof...

Nevertheless, no company should be ever viewed as "your friend". MS had numerous anti consumer practices in place and the same is true for Sony (not only in video game space) and Nintendo (60$ dollar games without permanent discounts, remasters of 10 year old game with full price, no console price cuts, expensive joy cons which are prone to drift, to name but a few).

Popsicle7m ago

Must be. Thought it to be common knowledge that no corporation is your friend.

Xbox had a community-first image? Since when?

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
