Ive never been very interested in plots, where characters have names and backgrounds. I really dont care, id rather just play the game. Thats what was great about the first 3 GTA games, the main character had no name, making him you.
The games market is over saturated with game characters, Lara, Sonic, Mario, Tommy Vercetti... who cares ?
No online play in GTA:SA wont be a disaster, but it will be a major disappointment for me.

No online play for GTA San Andreas

Problems with doing GTA gameplay online haven't been solved, says Houser
Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will not feature any online play when it launches on PlayStation 2 later this year, according to Rockstar creative director Dan Houser, who claims that it would be "impossible" to implement GTA online.
Speaking in an interview with Dutch games magazine Power Unlimited, Houser categorically stated that "San Andreas will not be online," going on to explain that "we would have to sacrifice too much for it."
"We have a lot of script writers working on GTA, and they use so many scenarios to build the story - it's impossible to do that in an online game, that problem has not been solved," he explained.
The lack of an online mode in the PS2 version almost certainly also rules out the possibility of online play in the Xbox and PC versions which will probably appear at some point in 2005 (although Rockstar has not as yet confirmed the existence of anything other than the PS2 SKU).
However, Houser would not rule out the possibility of the GTA franchise moving online at some point in the future - and admitted that the company has already looked into the possibilities presented by online play.
"We are thinking about it," he confessed, "but it's simply better to do the things we want to see in GTA in a single-player game. I'm not saying that online games aren't fun, but I do believe that online games are not yet ready for the immersive gameplay that GTA has to offer."

Ah to hell with them, they're talking tripe. If the actual fans of the GTA games can make their own GTA online mod, then why cant Rockstar ?
Who cares about the single player storyline..? everybody wants the game to go online, something id sacrifice a couple of things for. Im sorry but their excuse is just plain ignorance to what the fans want from the game, its like they cant be bothered to let it go online as they'd probably need to fun the servers..
GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !

It looks good, but like my previous post it just looks like Vice.
Also, i thought it was meant to be 3 cities in one game, where you travelled between them through country roads ? all i see on the map is the city, and a few out of town villages...
Downloading the 108mb trailer as we speak.
