It's Been Good - A Tribute To Our Favourite Playground

Posted at 07:27 GMT by Chris :: Category: San Andreas :: Comments: 23

Barrett Phillips (no relation to me), has created an amazing tribute video to GTA San Andreas. The video pieces together some fantastic footage of the state itself and some of things you can get up to. It is professionally made and definitely worth checking it out. Watch below.

Reminds me of the first time I bought San Andreas. He actually made the game look better than itself!

Is the lighting edited or is that what it looks like with a 8800GTS?

Comment by MrLlamaLlama on 23/03/08 13:15:

I've seen some of his videos before, he's really talented.

He also made The American Dream.

With the effects it looks like it was filmed on the 80's.

That Video Was Awsome. That is the best video for San Andreas I've seen, plus I liked the touch of the music from 'The Who' (Baba O'Riley)

Nice Work

Comment by GTA Don on 24/03/08 10:41:

Why the hell hasn't Rockstar hired him yet?

Comment by Gorilla on 24/03/08 11:43:

A graphic card doesn't change the way a game gets rendered, the drivers do.
I'd guess it's some mod or manual editing (what must be an absolute pain to do).

Makes the game look better than actually is to be honest. Just did realize how pretty the GTA style is/was.

Comment by Jake-da-Spider on 24/03/08 15:09:

Drivers? Lol.
Yeah when I've had my 68.80 drivers SA looked shit.

Comment by Deji on 26/03/08 08:28:

Damn that video is awesome. Just amazing. Makes your version look like crap, but strangely still ready to play it.
