Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories for the PSP spotted on HMV *UPDATE* |
Ó
Talk about a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas game for the PSP has been going on for quite some time now. While nothing really panned out in a rock-solid and official sense, QJ.NET reader Xeinix pointed us towards an HMV page that contained the following listing:
Like I said, I haven't heard anything official yet, although I do recall Rockstar Leeds' Gordon Hall saying that they're not ruling out a San Andreas Stories a while back. Keep checking back here for more updates.
Thanks to Xeinix for the tip!
*UPDATE*
A closer look at HMV's page shows this bubble-bursting tidbit:
There's no word from the developers about the game at this stage, but if you sign up by clicking the above link, we'll get in touch with you the second that the game is available to pre-order. If it ever does come out, that is.
Again, there is nothing official about this product page of HMV. Then again, knowing the reputation of HMV (they're one of the bigger retail stores in London), it could be possible that they do know something. It doesn't seem regular for them to be putting up product pages for products that are not even confirmed yet - especially if these pages are two years old. Or is it?
And the mystery and anticipation continues. We will be scouring for more info on this, and we promise to bring them to you as soon as we get them. We feel your advocacy.
Thanks to Insomnica from our forums!

OMG OMG OMG!!! OMG!! THANK YOU LORD IN THE SKY FOR PUTTING SOME SENSE INTO ROCKSTAR!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
I call FAKE! The box art has the same pictures the original San Andreas Box art. Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories both had completely new art.
And how many times was Duke Nukem Forever with a specific release date on such sites? And Oblivion Travels? And Gran Turismo Mobile? And and and? This is just one of countless mistakes.
Hopefully they do realease gta san andres stories the BEST GTA GAME EVER ill buy it for sure.
You do realize Rockstar hasn't confirmed this? They said the possibility maybe be there, but nothing solid. Not to mention this box art is probably fan made, considering it looks very similar to other box arts. I say lets wait before jumping to conclusions. As much as I'd love to see a San Andreas Stories, I'm not going to believe this. Need more information. QJ put rumor in the title, cause technically there isn't anything official yet.
Aww man I really hope this does come out. Yes this is probably a fake and all that. But I hope it pricks interest amongst other PSP gamers and big enough buzz is made for Rockstar to take note. SA is one of the greatest games I've played. Throw the story away - I've invested hundreds of hours just driving around making mini games with friends (get full wanted level in certain time, reduce wanted level in certain time, recreate film scenes). haha. probably a bit mad there. but there was just so much to do. It was more RPG than GTA!
well they just recently thought up of this so ofcourse they are gonna put the same art cover just for the mean time. same thing happend with GTA:LCS, they were showing GTA 3 covers for a lil bit just cuz they didnt have a box art made. i'm not saying that i believe this 100%, but im just saying, dont knock it right away, give it some time.
hopefully this does come out
you could be making money off an old but fun game!!!!!!! making GTA SA a portable game
I wish.
If the game really was in production and the story followed Cesar and his crew. I'm sure those ese's muyst've had some great adventures holmes, lol. (already gettin' in character) I'd say that or one of two other options: Perspective of the Baller's rise to power in San Andreas, or revisit Clyde in his younger days as he's getting sucked into crime...
I dont buy any PSP games anymore but I will buy this one.
Call it fake box art or whatever you want. The fact remains that this game IS on their website. Just do a search for grand theft auto, it is towards bottom of page.
They better freaking release it. The only game I TRULY wanted for PSP!
by the way, there is also a ps2 version of san andrea stories and box art as well. so i doubt this is a mistake, lets hope it comes out this year eh?
someone in "there wont gta:sas psp" article said that: "if theyre gonna make a GTA:SAS either one of three things will have to happen: (a). The game is heavily compressed and many features are removed so it can fit on a dual-layer UMD which is 1.8GB (GTA:SA is about 4GB). (b). GTA:SAS is released on multiple UMDs which is impracticable. (c). GTA:SAS is released on a new HD-UMD which would only be compatible with future new-gen PSPs (if there are any) that can read it which is very unlikely. " here are my SOLUTIONs (d). It's released on multiple UMDs, but except one of them, other ones'll be installed on the memory stick (and it'll be encrypted specificly for that psp) So it will require a lot MSPD space. (e) Package's coming with a pre-installed MSPD and a UMD. It's pretty expensive unfortunately.
gta sa on the pc (which has higher res textures than the ps2) is 1.44GB with out the audio folder on the psp they would downgrade everything anyway, (you dont need high res textures on a psp) so for the original sa with out audio it could probably be knocked down to under 1GB so anyway theres more but my point is I doubt its about umd space, maybe systems ram or something could be a problem with streaming the city for example?
And that, my friend, is why the PSP has so few games. PUT DOWN THE USB CABLE AND GOTO THE STORE.
Disk space would not be a problem. Back in the 90's when Resident Evil 2 came out (a 2 disk set) for the PS1, Capcom managed to port it over to 1 64 MB Nintendo 64 cartridge. If they can do that they can do anything.
from "description" under "reviews & product details": Jun 2007 When Liberty City Stories was released on PSP, Rockstar took the world of their beloved PS2 title GTA 3, created new characters and story, and added exciting new features such as ad-hoc WiFi multiplayer modes. Following a successful port to from PSP to PS2, it was only a matter of time until 2004's GTA: Vice City experienced the same destiny. With San Andreas the only city in the GTA universe yet receive the Stories treatment, we wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar eventually end up bringing out 'San Andreas Stories' on PSP and/or PS2. There's no word from the developers about the game at this stage, but if you sign up by clicking the above link, we'll get in touch with you the second that the game is available to pre-order. If it ever does come out, that is. (not looking it's offical, actually, it's just "hope" imo)
i am gonne buy this game right away when its released!!!!!
the graphics probably will not be as good as the ps2 version... they will probly cut the resolution so it can fit in the umd. If im not mistaken can't the UMd hold about 2gs?
Hopefully Rockstar officially released it.. Im sick and tired of the current released of GTA on PSP..keep playing it over and over again..
