    The mansion garages can't fit (save) a tank. (Correct me if I'm wrong about this) The only sure-fire way to save a tank is at the car dealership, as far as I know.

    @sidgoku: Lets just ignore him from now on guys, we obviously can't teach him how the system works, even after 10+ pages.

    That's what I am thinking too.
    Yeah, I was able to fit it there (versetti mansion) with no problem. But I will try the car dealership later tonight. So, I could get the tank to respawn at the dealership anytime I want it?

    Well, if you take it out and it gets destroyed (it does have limited health, it just has a ton of it) or you die without putting it back, it will disappear like in any other garage.

    I wonder: if they make a San Andreas port, would it have multiplayer capability? That would be awesome.

    I was hoping to get unlimited tank in my garage but oh well ( it's fun owning those cops and FBI agents):D

    I have never played GTA series in my life not until Rockstar decided to port them to the iOS. I enjoyed GTA vice city more than GTA3. I haven't even finished GTA3 yet, missions are not as fun and the map is kinda weird. You can't even fly a chopper too): I would be thrilled if they port San Andreas though, heard good things like fly a jet and swim?

    Yeah, and it's a lot more RPG-ish than any other. For example, you actually have to watch CJ's weight or he will not be able to do some acrobatic stunts/pick up chicks.

    Also the map is huge, the size of three Liberty Cities :D


    You think owning law enforcement is fun now, wait until you get your hands on the Hunter :D

    Pick up chicks? Lol! Rockstar better hurry up then:p
    Oh, I forgot about Hunter. It's located at the military base right? Since I finished the game, I can just get easily right?

    You been missing out dude j/k:) I played San Andreas a long time a go, I think it's the best from all the series IMO.

    You still need to wear a police uniform (ocean beach police station?) so that the soldiers at Braxton military base won't shoot you;) It gets fun once you have the hunter. Make sure to do the vigilante (kill like 20 or something ) and your health and armor will be 150 instead of 100;)

    Adding multiplayer to a game that was never designed to have it, especially one the size of San Andreas is not trivial. They might as well spend the time making the portable companion to GTA V (as Chinatown Wars was to GTA IV), making sure it has multiplayer, and making sure it comes to mobile maybe even being mobile-first seeing the Vita user-base isn't exactly flourishing and Chinatown Wars sales on the DS were disappointing so Rockstar probably won't want to try again on the 3DS.

    Do you think San Andreas will make its way to iOS eventually? That would be awesome and an opertunity to try it for the first time:)

    People haven't figured out how to use mods/skins with these iOS GTA, have they?

    I don't see why not. They might not be making huge money on the mobile GTA ports, at least in comparison to console GTA releases, but the development costs should be low so it'll have a large profit margin and they have a third-party leading the ports so it's not a big time drain for Rockstar away from making new titles. Rockstar is adamant about not diluting the GTA brand by releasing a new one every year like Call of Duty. Putting out yearly GTA ports of previous games seems like a good compromise since they keep the brand in the spot-light through nostalgia while buying time to work on making a big jump in gameplay for the next new game rather than more incremental improvements like CoD.

    Or they could continue with the Anneversary editions, so San Andreas would come out sometime in 2014.


    Yeah, they have, actually. You need a jail broken device though, but once you have one, the modding community is having a field day with the iOS ports right now.

    I modded gta 3 no bother without a jailbreak.
    I couldn't find any way of modding cars for this one at all.
    Have you seen any modded and do you really need a jailbreak or would iexplorer do the same thing?
    I'm just not keen to jailbreak because there's a big dip in performance of device I find.
    Thanks in advance.

    San Andreas did have multiplayer. It wasn't online, more just two controller co-op where (iirc) you did rampage style missions. It wasn't great because you both had to follow the same path so the screen could show you both! Me and my mates used to get a car, and drive away quickly before the other one could get in. Then we'd slowly reverse and tease them into thinking we'd let them in! Then as they got closer, we'd edge forward!

    For some reason i cannot trigger unique jump at g-spotlight final jump before turning on the light.

    Already try different angle, different speed, difeerent bike between pcr and dirt bike but no luck.

    When i jump the slow animation play but after landed on the building The unique jump reward don't show only perfectly instant jump reward.

    Does anyone have the same problem with me? I already complete 35 unique jump, but I can't get just this last one :(

    Well on the subject of Rockstar's future mobile plans, I don't know if this was brought up before, but Rockstar Leeds is now hiring mobile developers. The GTA III, Max Payne Mobile, and Vice City ports were lead by third-party War Drum Studios. Rockstar Leeds' last portable title was of course Chinatown Wars, a new GTA game specifically made for handheld, and they ported it to iOS themselves in-house. I'm therefore guessing that War Drum Studios will continue to handle future ports of existing consoles games including San Andreas, whereas Rockstar Leeds is currently working on a new made-for-mobile game. There's no guarantee that the mobile title they are working on is GTA, but given each new console GTA usually has a new portable GTA counterpart, a mobile companion to GTA V seems likely.
