It's been over seven years since Rockstar put San Andreas on the digital map. And like the Hollywood denizens parodied in Rockstar's games, the city only looks better with age. YouTube user CreativityZone has recreated the Grand Theft Auto V debut trailer entirely in the San Andreas engine, and it gives us a good idea of how far technology has come.

Little may be known about the upcoming sequel (you can read our theories here), but one thing is very clear: this is a much, much prettier game.
