Speaking to a Dutch gaming magazine, RockStar confirm that San Andreas is just a little too early for online play…

Speaking to the Dutch gaming magazine Power Unlimited, Dan Houser RockStar North Creative Director, recently ruled out the possibility of online play in GTA: San Andreas.

The issue stems from exactly how you fit online play into GTA, certainly it would lessen the GTA brand if an online mode was just included for the sake of it; Houser went on to claim "We have a lot of script writers working on GTA, and they use so many scenarios to build the story - it's impossible to do that in an online game, that problem has not been solved."

However talks with RockStar North last year to TVG did reveal that the team are looking into the possibility, with Houser stating "We are thinking about it, but it's simply better to do the things we want to see in GTA in a single-player game. I'm not saying that online games aren't fun, but I do believe that online games are not yet ready for the immersive gameplay that GTA has to offer."

Our chats with RockStar in the past have suggested that the team at RockStar North want to revolutionize the franchise when it makes its next-gen debut in GTA4; certainly online play with multiple countries has been rumoured in the past.

Weâ??ll have more information soon.

Well done - you know the alphabet.  That said, I'm not quite sure what that has to do with San Andreas...
