1. Gta Sa Vs Gta 5

Since the rerelease of San Andreas on Xbox One (via backwards compability) we have seen a lot of confusion about the Original Xbox Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the 360 Remaster.
I have therefore complied a list of all the known differences between the 2 versions, so everyone can make up their own minds and enjoy the nostalgia trip without disappointment.

How many versions of San Andreas are there for Xbox?
Xbox Original Disc [2005 OG]
Xbox Original Platinum Hits Disc [2005 OG]
Xbox Original - Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy Disc [2005 OG]
Xbox Original Digital (via OG emulation on 360 only) [2005 OG]
Xbox 360 Disc [2014 Remaster]
Xbox 360 Classics/Platinum Hits Disc [2014 Remaster]
Xbox 360 Digital [2014 Remaster]
Xbox One Digital (via 360 emulation on One) [2014 Remaster]

Regardless of whichever version of San Andreas you own, you will only receive a digital copy of the Xbox 360 remastered version from 2014.

Is there any way now to get a digital copy of the Original 2005 Xbox release?
No. It was removed from the 360 marketplace in 2014.
Your 2005 disc entitles you to a digital copy of the 2014 remaster only.

Could I play the Original 2005 release on Xbox One?
Technically yes, if you plugged a console capable of playing that game (e.g. Xbox 360) into the Xbox One via HDMI-In, but not natively.

Who found all these changes if Rockstar didn't announce them officially?
I have complied my own findings with news reports from EuroGamer, IGN and GTA community posts at GTAForums, GameFAQs & YouTube.

Can I see a comparison of the multiple versions of San Andreas side by side?
Yes, YouTube features many videos and you can find screenshot comparisons via Google.

What is Rockstar's response?
These bugs have been reported numerous times over the years via Rockstar Support.
They did release a patch for this 2014 version on the 360 for performance.

I have seperated the differences into categories below. These are the changes made to the 2014 Remaster of San Andreas, that you will be experiencing in your Xbox One version:

GRAPHICS:

• Color palettes changed. (more contrast, different hue)

• Vehicles and characters now all have a shiny/specular effect to them.

• Higher resolution textures. (some incorrect UV mapping though)

• Alpha transparency not fixed. (e.g. Helicopter blades blurring - only the PS2 got version this correct)

• Spraying tags has a new animation.

• Screen distortion removed. (heat haze effect)

• Lanterns and lights have the static shadow from the PS2 version.

• Characters can be seen frozen during cutscenes. (because of FOV/aspect ratio change)

• Dynamic grass sprites removed. (makes certain areas now look very flat/sparse especially the forests)

• Nights are darker. (some grass textures glitch black at night)

• Low FPS stutters (e.g. SF Airport entrance)

• Dynamic shadow detail added to characters and vehicles. (but removed shadows from buildings and vegetation)

• Interior building shadows are messed up.

• Cars don't accelerate correctly and shake on their chassis. (Vehicles all go straight from 1st to last gear - probably an issue in the handling config file)

• The door has been removed when exiting some restaurants.

• Gym weights are now correctly grey instead of gold. (texture glitch)

• Ammunation interior updated. (more targets, shelves, signs) Pilgrims and sacred sites in china pdf.

• Certain trucks now have dual wheels.

• Skybox and clouds are different. (darker and more contrast - less visibilty when flying)

• FPS capped to 30FPS.
  /u/Ss4gogeta0Correction:GTA SA was always 30 FPS (actually might have been 25 if I recall correctly). The physics engine is tied to the FPS and anything higher than 30 breaks the game.

• Millie Perkin's (girlfriend) corset outfit has been removed (seen in 'Key to Her Heart') and replaced with a standard pedestrian texture. [IMAGE]

AUDIO:

• Audio skipping & cutting out during cutscenes. (& SFX playing at incorrect times or volumes)

• Motorbikes are even louder at full speed.

• Some vehicle sounds have been modified.

• Songs will sometimes repeat indefinitelty on the radio station.

• Audio can go out of sync during dancing missions.

• Ending credits audio cutouts.

• Shooting/Driving controls changed to triggers. (The OG Xbox controller has a different button layout and the scheme was changed to triggers since the first Original emulation in the 360)

• Pedestrian's don't drop money. (Incorrect: They do; it is dependent on the type of pedestrian)

Thanks everyone!Additional info in comments.
