A huge team of modders, inspired by forum topics at GTAMaps.net, have recently created a brand new total conversion for San Andreas named You Are Here. The mod completely replaces San Andreas with a whole new game that mixes in horror and adventure.

The game starts when you wake up in an abandoned city, not knowing who or where you are. Nobody else seems to be around, but the area has a creepy vibe to it. To gather information about what's going on, you navigate through buildings and basements to piece together clues. You'll find, though, that you are definitely not alone!


It's pretty cool to see how it was incorporated into San Andreas (almost everything has changed, but features like the aiming in SA have stayed). The only downside to the mod is the broken English in which the script is written, but it's still a fun game to try out and pass the time - hey, it's free! Be sure to make a copy of your original San Andreas folder, though, since this mod makes the actual game unplayable. Enjoy!

Download it from our GTA mod database now!

Here are some new San Andreas car mods that I uploaded today:

2008 BMW M3 E92	2007 Infiniti G35 Coupé	Ford GT
Lexus IS300	Lamborghini LP560-4 Hamann	Mercedes-Benz 450SEL
Burger Van	Polonez Caro

The Lexus IS300 is my favorite from this bunch, mainly because of its sleek windows, but they're all pretty good cars. Enjoy!

To those getting their hopes up for big graphical improvements and bug fixes in Grand Theft Auto IV on PC: you may want to lower your expectations! German gaming site 4Players.de got a peek at IV PC during Games Convention in Leipzig and saw that not much has changed.

As they watched a developer play the mission "Three Leaf Clover," 4Players noticed that the biggest improvement for the PC version of GTA IV is the high resolution (maximum 2560x1440 pixels). Even this comes with its drawbacks as it allows you to see some of the game's poorer textures. They mention it's a pity Rockstar Games hasn't made very many technical improvments, but they still believe there is no doubt the game will be a hit (via GTA-Xtreme)

Microsoft has issued a statement at the Leipzig Games Convention that the first of two downloadable episodes for GTA IV is still coming and scheduled for release this autumn (fall).
No other details were provided, but hopefully we will learn more in these coming months.

I bring you the second (and last) part to our JVT San Andreas car mod round-up. Enjoy these mods and I'll be bringing some actual new ones sometime soon!

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti GTS LaMans Tuning	Ferrari 612 Kappa	Ferrari F50 DTM Tuning
Ferrari F50	AMG H2 Hummer	AMG H2 Hummer SUV
AMG H2 Hummer SUT	AMG H2 Hummer FBI	AMG H2 Hummer Police
AMG H2 Hummer Ambulance	AMG H2 Hummer Lowrider Dub Tuning	AMG H2 Hummer Taxi

IGN has got their first look at the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV at the Leipzig Games Convention. Here's a a few details we've gathered from the article.
Ten screenshots have also been revealed, which are all located on our new GTA IV PC screenshot gallery as well:

The other day I was surprised to learn that we were missing a lot of mods by JVT in our download database! I wouldn't tolerate this, so I decided to add quite a bit of his mods in (expect a lot more coming soon) alongside one new motorbike mod from GTALark:

Yamaha YFZ R6	2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640	Lamborghini Murciélago Shark Tuning
Lamborghini Gallardo SE	Lamborghini Gallardo Spider	2003 Aston Martin Vantage Concept
VC Viola II	2005 Skoda Octavia II	2005 Skoda Octavia II SAPD
2005 Skoda Octavia II Czech Police	2005 Skoda Octavia II German Police	Scania 164L 580
Scania 164L 580 V8 Black Beaunty Tuning	Mini Cooper Tuning

It's been a while since I've posted modifications on the homepage, but those that follow our GTA mod database closely will know that I've been updating it from time to time with new mods. Today, I added four new San Andreas car mods that will take CJ back to the 1970s:

1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda 440	1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Ragtop	1971 Chevrolet Impala

The Plymouth Cuda is definitely my favorite out of this bunch, but they're all great additions. Enjoy!

Gaming blog videogaming247 claims a reliable source informed them that the PC version of GTA IV will be shown to a private audience at Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany next week. We obviously can't confirm this report, but VG247 seems pretty confident about it, so be sure to keep an eye out sometime between August 20 and 24 for more news. (via GTA4.net)

Japanese website Dengeki Online has put up an article announcing the release date for Grand Theft Auto IV in Japan as October 30, 2008.

Like Japanese GTA games in the past, this version of GTA IV will be published by Capcom. The game received a CERO rating of Z, equivalent to ESRB's AO and PEGI's 18+ rating.

Update: Dengeki's article has now been followed up with an official Take 2 Games press release, confirming the previously reported information.
