Video games back then were so polished because there was more focus on the gameplay features over anything else and not how the game typically looked. San Andreas is a great looking game for it's time but there are a lot of places and areas on the map where you can tell limits were met. Video games today are mainly focused on how it looks over any of the core gameplay features and are simply rushed out the door or greedy companies just wanting profit from such low effort. I'm assuming they clutter their maps with all this garbage and props and have second thoughts and ideas over what's actually gonna function and at the same time make it feel "emersive".
san andreas did so much with the little cpu and graphics card power that pcs back in the day had. also engine limitations were a thing back in the 2000s, so developers could not just clutter the map with props and expect it to run well. game development was a lot harder as there were not as many tools and features built into engines so developers had come up with creative solutions for details like buildings being mirrored in water surfaces by building inverted versions of the buildings under the map.
If you really look at it, Cyberpunk and Saints Row could've been the 2 main games to give Rockstar some competition when it comes to the open world sandbox genre. However, both of these games were released botched as hell. Cyberpunk is recovering and Saints Row isn't looking to climb up from the deficit that it's in. I guess all in all, Rockstar still reigns king

@Charles Hastings Depends some Missions in RDR2 have allot freedom which on only found out about on my 5th playthrough. Games Like GTA4, the warriers, Manhunt also have allot of freedom in their missions just depends what they are trying to do. Plus they have good vaierty in the mission compared with most over devs.
6:50 This is just an illusion, because you can swim to the edge of the map as long as you want, but once you turn back to the shore, you return back very quickly
The sad thing is that the game sold well, despite having bad reviews. So next time they'll put the same amount of effort knowing it'll sell well anyways.
I don't actually think the game sold well. The sales dropped about 80% after it's first week and it's currently being sold at discounted prices. A game that sold well wouldn't go on sale so quickly. Also, considering how arrogant volition is, they would be bragging like crazy if the game actually sold well which leads me to believe it actually didn't. Embracer group also seems rather hesitant to actually talk about sales and are saying they want to wait until the November report to see if it sold well or not. Remember, we don't have sales numbers yet so all we can do is speculate.
@@josiahgonzalez942 Thousands also bought AOM and it was considered a financial failure. What's your point? It would need to sell millions if not tens of millions in order to be a success.
Please continue horror & mysteries in games. Don't forget to add WD series, sr series, mafia series, rdr 2, uncharted, last of us 1/2, gta 4, vc, gta vc stories, Liberty city stories
And yet people are still defending Saints Row reboot like it's the best game ever. Can't believe a 2004 game is better than a game that just came out couple weeks ago that's pretty sad
It's so disappointing to know that GTA SA is still getting praise while the first two REAL and GOOD Saints Row's that tried to compete with GTA SA and IV to this day still get little to no recognition.
And there's no guarantee that the beta version is ever gonna be properly finished,nfs heat and unbound died pretty quickly when it comes to updates but atleast those are somewhat polished compared even to the saints row shitboot.
The new patch made it so that the car door doesn't hit you @ 3:16 but I don't think the developers addressed any other issue listed in this video. Sad.
As a dashcam channel I personally love saint row but these things are annoying and disappointing during its gameplay But for sure I can never forget GTA San Andreas is the masterpiece and legendary game
They need to learn from rockstar but Making perfect animations and working on environmental detail requires a lot of money to hire professionals to do the job.
It implies that GTA: SA is a good game, even if it is an old one. Yes, Saints Row's graphics is better than GTA: SA, but GTA: SA has ALOT more features than ST. It's impressive that GTA SA is able to hold up and beat recently released/made games.
Having played a crapload of GTA SA and wholeheartedly agreeing with your video, I feel like you were reaching with the obstacle climbing comparison animations breaking in Saints Row. One can tell you went for gimmicky terrain only in Saints Row's case, because the alignment/animations can also break in SA if you try weird or obstructed surfaces to climb on. I know because I've tried climbing pretty much anything possible. Keep on doing what you do, it's great content, but please try and compare such things in likewise scenarios.
No one can beat a greatest game ever and That's the only original GTA San Andreas. This a Game that has a real nostalgic feel. Comment down below your opinions
with the car door, they probably wanted to add close animation but forgot to, if you removed the character animation in both games doors would close and open "automatically"
Saints Row always felt like the GTA wannabe open world sandbox game. It looked tacky and although they were sometimes fun, they couldn’t ever compare to any GTA title.
And let’s not forget that in sa cj can gain/lose weight and muscle, which also effects the character and animations. In sr, any physical changes are simply cosmetic.
The automatic closing of car doors was a so called "feature" in Saints Row games. If you check Saints Row 3 for instance, the car door also closes automatically there.
And even in 2, which I actually don't mind seeing as the door closing on its own is hella gangster lol, I'm glad at least they left THAT feature in from the originals.
Gta San Andreas is of course better than the new saints row. Gta San Andreas is better than most open world games because of multiple cities and so many towns and it being a full state not like the other games that were part of a state and having so much things in it.
6:48 It may seem that way, but there is a BIG caveat with that: flying or sailing outside the map can actually ruin the map with a pretty notorious territory glitch. As a matter of fact, there's two story missions in GTA:SA that requires you to do just that by flying behind a Shamal in a Dodo and a Shamal to a corona taking you to LC (Bayside Lighhouse Vagos anyone?). Beyond that, you can break gang territories, popgroups, among other things, which makes out of map exploration kinda of a really bad idea on anything that isn't the Original PC Version with Silent Patch.
GTA 6's alpha footage has less bugs than Saints Row reboot
Wise words were spoken

Pre alpha*
GTA 6 pre alpha build looks like a finished Ubisoft game lol
But GTA 6 ALPHA and Devs work on difference thinks and trying difference ideas , but Saints Row just Shit for 70Euro on Xbox .... 70 ahahahahaha.

In conclusion : OLD IS GOLD!

The fact that rockstar spends so much time on their games to make it realistic as it can get is nice.

GTA SA is one of the most iconic games ever made in Gaming history...a total perfection... ⚡⚡ Childhood Nostalgia ❤️❤️
Even Predecessor of Saints Row is better than Reboot itself
When you are fan of both: I see it as an absolute win!
When you realize video talks about reboot instead of 2006 game: Hold up!
in this video we get to know the powers of eli (character from saints row) which are: teleportation and telekinescy
The new patch made it so that the car door doesn't hit you @ 3:16 but I don't think the developers addressed any other issue listed in this video. Sad.

And never remowe this music 😁❤

This game make Cyberpunk 77 a very solid game and im not joking about it. At least CP77 had a good Story + Extrimely good graphic.
and the worst part about reboot: older versions of saints row have most of the animations

Next Gen Game BTW 😂. I love old classics games ❤️
Saints Row is a Game
GTA San Andreas is a Part of Life!
so basically every new open world game released is like an advertisement for how good Rockstar Games is
No me cansare nunca de repetirlo, GTA IV y GTA SAN ANDREAS son y seran los mejores juego de mundo abierto de toda la historia de los videojuegos😎
When the developers forget that the player likes to experiment and explore this happens.
The only thing they care now is Money, Politics, and pleasing Twitter. Gamers? That no matter anymore....
Even GTA SA has multiplayer feature even using split screen.
I just hope GTA 6 isn’t an unfinished mess like saints row was
The leaks wasn't even alpha and it has less bugs compared to saints row
San Andreas has been out for like many years and people still loves the game
Best video I watched today
GTA San Andreas is kinda timless. I can play it whenever and I don't feel like I'm playing with an awfully outdated game.
I approve this video
I actually agree about GTA San Andreas being better. Long story.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.6 VS Saints Row?
I love how every new open games has to be compared to GTASA.....it was that much ahead of it's time
Any game can be the game of the year. But it is very hard to make a memorable masterpiece game like Gta San Andreas
No one can beat a greatest game ever and That's the only original

This a Game that has a real nostalgic feel.

Saints Row Is Little Brother Of Cyberpunk 2077
3:40 hi daddy💀( and a female said that)
I was just thinking of getting Saints Row but this video convinced me otherwise, well, I guess I'll buy GTASA then
with the car door, they probably wanted to add close animation but forgot to, if you removed the character animation in both games doors would close and open "automatically"

CJ is better than a saint row character

In GTA san i had seen a mtf policeman got into the brother hood homes and got shot by a homie,that was so satifying.

Bro let’s be real here, fucking toy story on the N64 was better than the new saints row
