"In the past couple of years, we have put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to ensure we do everything possible to exceed people's expectations with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," stated Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games. "Even though we still have eight months to go, we are starting to become very proud of what we have achieved and we can't wait to get the game into players' hands."

Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North, stated, "We are extremely humbled by the success of the Grand Theft Auto series and it has made us push ourselves further than ever to create a title in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that will hopefully redefine the Grand Theft Auto series and revolutionize open-ended gameplay and video game production values."

#51651 Posted on: 03/01/2004 06:51 PM I hope the PC version comes out at the same time! None of this "2 weeks" crap. Even though I don't mind the PS2 - the PC will always be the superior gaming platform.

#51662 Posted on: 03/01/2004 09:56 PM As with GTA3 and VC, it's gonna be at least another 6 months for the PC version to come out. I'm not too bothered about that, but I hope they go a little further toward customising the controls for the PC than they did in the previous titles, especially in the realm of flying.

#51667 Posted on: 03/02/2004 01:25 AM As far as I know, RockStar signed an agreement with Sony before GTA3 came out, ensuring that each title would be a Playstation exclusive - so we're gonna have to wait as long as we did for Vice City. Most of us know peeps with a PS2 so its not so bad....
