I've changed my mind about Korian. Anyone that can piss off so many people so easily is awesome. You people are suckers, playing right into his evil yellow hands.

'Cripes' is something I yell everytime I try to read something you write.
Haha.
Anyway, yeah, the logo looks like the cliche font associated with Mexican gangs, and considering they've already said the soundtrack is going to feature a lot of gangst(a)er rap, they're probably going for a harder, more realistic vibe to hook all the kiddies and media attention again. And hey, more power to 'em. Regardless, I'm all for some new GTA.
Provided I can turn off that gangsta rap station.

the logo makes it seem like it's gonna have some kind of gangster rap theme, so if that's the case, here's hoping it takes place in the early 90's...that way there will be a chance that the main character will be some good M.C. Hammer clone. you know, with it taking place near Oakland and all.
if not, then let's just hope they go full force Menace II Society / Boyz in the Hood with it.
Lucas, this is from the thing I posted above-
"The next character, Mad Dogg, is described as "Black American Male, 23." Judging by the script, Mad Dogg will not be the paradigm of social responsiblity. His lines are those of O-Dog, the homicidal teenager played by Larenz Tate in the 1993 classic Menace II Society, and are drenched in hardcore profanity and mid-'90s gangsta slang.
"Although Rockstar did not respond to inquires about the characters, several other details about GTA: San Andreas' plot can be inferred from the scripts. First, given the vintage of the films and the modern vernacular, the game will take place in semi-contemporary times, as opposed to the 1970s-set game some had speculated. Second, the film will feature a West-Coast gangsta prominently, perhaps even as the lead."
And I read that thing about one of the main characters being black... I'm wondering how long it'll take for somebody like Reverand Jesse Jackson to hop all over this claiming it's "promoting a racial stereotype" or some other nonsense like that.

If he was, he's had plenty of opportunity to jump on guys like Eight Ball from the original and Lance Vance of Vice City, among others.

Give him time. It took the Hatians forever to throw a bitchfit over Vice City.

Hell yeah. The late 60's/70's stuff like Dirty Harry, French Connection, Vanishing Point, Smokey & the Bandit, and Taxi Driver would have been fertile ground for a GTA.
Hopefully since it's GTA, they won't play censured versions of the music.
I 'm just now expanding myself into the..appreciation of rap. I'd love to hear lil jon and ying yang twins without cut vocals every two seconds.

This game looks good. The setting looks like the place I tutor kids on the weekend (Watts).

GTA seems to be turning into a "tony hawk" sort of series.. the kind that people recognize as technically good or whatever, but are really sort of tired of it..
now they're just intentionally aiming for the controversy, and that's kinda weak.

How are they aiming for controversy by making the anti-hero black?
After all, who better to play an illiterate, drug-influenced, criminal?
ZABBA-ZING!!!
It'd be great if black people got all offended about it and shit, especially since whites and Italians already had their turn and didn't care. OMFG RACISM!
It would also be great if this game got an automatic 10 from EGM like Vice City did... do not pass go, do not notice bugs or numerous negatives... AUTOMATIC 10!!
