Xbox 360 is captured here at 720p and upscaled, while it looks like Android at max settings also upscales. Obviously on PS2, the situation isn't great in this regard. Draw distance - based on the palm trees on the right - appears to be similar between Xbox 360 and PC, while Android is left behind. 360 looks no better or worse than Android, ramped up to the max. It's clear that we're looking to two distinct iterations across the four versions of San Andreas - the originals (PS2, PC) and the remasters (360, Android). The Android version formed part of our testing for the Nvidia Shield Tablet, and the Xbox 360 HD version appears to be a straight and somewhat uninspiring port of that mobile release, delivered by members of War Drum studios, whose names have been added to the credits. It becomes clear pretty quickly upon loading the game that we've seen a version of GTA: San Andreas rather like this before. Is it a port of the original PC version? Does it include assets from the enhanced mobile edition available on iOS and Android? What's the frame-rate like? And, bearing in mind the rudimentary nature of the visuals, is any anti-aliasing supported? There has been some speculation about the basis of the new Xbox 360 HD version. That probably sounds like a back-handed compliment, but after playing the Xbox 360 remaster for a while, we're actually glad the original game is still available somewhere. Instead, PS3 owners have to make do with the original PS2 release, which runs on Sony's software emulator and hands in visuals and performance that look like a very close match for the game in its original setting.
So what's the score with the new HD version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Xbox 360? In a move seemingly timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the game's release, the emulated Xbox version available through Games on Demand has been replaced by a new version that promises "720p resolution, enhanced draw distance and Achievement support".Ĭuriously, there isn't an equivalent new version of the game available on PlayStation 3.
