I am lost, why is this only being upgraded to 720p? Surely the xbox360 can handle San Andreas at 1080p 60fps?
GTA: San Andreas confirmed for Xbox 360

Why did they even bother doing this? These systems are almost dead.

What HD remakes on either PS3 or 360 are 1080p?
Just bought it, wish I hadn't. I guess I just really wanted to see the graphical difference and the cheap price made it so easy, but after playing it for only 5 minutes I realized there is no way I'm going to play through this behemoth of a game again. Last time I played through sanandreas it took me an entire summer and I was like 15, no way am I going through it again, wish I could return it lol.

There aren't very many remasters from last gen that run at 1080p 60fps.

It would've made sense 3 or 4 years ago when people were asking for it. Now it just seems like too little too late.

Bought it for cheap, played the first couple missions, it plays fine, and everything works great. Looks...okay, nothing special but well worth the Xbox Live's special pricing of $3.74.
Well, if you are on PC, you can at least play it in 1080p.
But it's not a HD version. They use the original assets and stuff.
Still a very nice effort though! I'll play it when it's finished.

Zone of the Enders 2 runs at 1080p and 60fps on the PS3.
FFX/X-2 is 1080p/30fps. Okami is actually rendered at 4K and downsampled.
Here's my Theory on GTA San Andreas Anniversary Edition
What do we know:
1) Some of the SA music licenses expired, the game had to be removed from stores.
2) The games was available as digital download on 360 as Xbox Original.
3) R* has already ported Renderware to Xbox 360 years ago for Bully.
What have we got:
- A very cheap port of the pc version using ps2 colors
- The game removed from PSN
- The game removed from steam and a documented patch on SteamDB
Theory
R* is working on a proper GTA San Andreas 10th Anniversary Edition on Ps4, XB1 and PC but they are late as usual and it hasn't been announced yet.
They are going to patch the old SA on Steam too removing the songs(?) and adding controller support. As the game was still selling on Xbox 360 they decided to do a quick port and release it there too. They couldn't do the same on Ps3 because the engine has never been ported there before.
Unlikely dream: GTA San Andrea 10th Anniversary will be free with any preorder of GTA V on next gen

If history has taught me anything it is that one month before this releases Rockstar will throw a quick port up on Steam.
I'm sure 360/PC version are running on Gamebryo. Wii version might be on Renderware.
Sounds reasonable, it will end up on other platforms sooner or later. Now let's just hope they fix some of the issues.

Bought it at that price good deal.
Really?
It doesn't matter if their 2004/2005 era tools and contents are easily portable on 360
Also £2.99 in the UK so not sure if this is the HD re-release or not.

Cheers. I'm actually a UKer - so this is quite a nice bargain - even if it isnt a HD "Remaster"
It's the remaster. Check the details page and you will see video output to 720p instead of 480p for the xbox original version.
BTW does anyone know if The Introduction was ever remastered since the only one I can remember was running off the PS2.
VCS is super demanding and also the better game. You're not missing out on much TBH.

Wrong. It's a nicely done port of the mobile version, with the redesigned interface, extra features such as the vehicle camera height adjustments, reflections on vehicles, separated actor fingers, and proper widescreen support with a redrawn HUD.
amd downloading now its about 2.05gb

$3.74? That's a lot less than I expected. Hopefully it's not a mistake, though.

I was going to wait and see how much it is on Steam but £3 is so damn tempting.

A 10 year old game being released on a 9 year old console.

A 9 year old console whose successor got release a year ago. 360 isn't relevant, at all. It isn't as big as it was, that doesn't mean its irrelevant
Still cheap, still based on the pc version.

What relevant releases are in store for us on 360?

Remember to follow the damn train pals!
I don't think it is anything like the PC version. Look more like the iOS version, from the changed textures and enlarged / zoomed stuff. No idea why they though that was the best solution on 360.
If the PS3 version has been pulled, I'd guess the same treatment is on the way there too. It seems like an ideal time for them to capitalise on PS4 and Xbox One with the GTA V push, but I don't know what they would do. Doubt people would be happy with a similar experience to the 360. On PC there is the added confusion of mod compatibility which may sway purchasing as well.

people still buy them by the boatload, which makes it relevant enough.
True enough given the history of last-gen versions of these series.

I didn't plan to buy it on consoles, but at under $4 I can't say no.
Have yet to play it, hoping for the Steam release too, and if it looks good might but it on PS3 too lol.

Rockstar will never make a remake as long as they're not strapped for cash or something.
V is as close of a SA remake you'll get and they press the Vice City button throughout the game a couple times there as well.

The audio quality is a joke, what were they thinking?
Irrelevant? You can play Halo 1-4 in 1080p. Oh, you were talking about 360? Nevermind. ;-)
I don't know Madden, but FIFA for 360 is no legacy edition. Furthermore there are Assassin's Creed Rogue, Borderlands: The Pre-sequel and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved is nice, too.
