The rain almost looks like we’re in a tropical climate, like the Amazon Rainforest. We’re certainly not in the fictional city of San Andreas, which is an amalgam of major Western states like California and Nevada. Climate change is a thing, though, so maybe this is just a painful illustration of what we can expect in the future?

I’m inclined to think this is an unfortunate bug, with JankyNedelko posting a second tweet of even more rain. Then again, the release seems littered with glitches.

You’ll probably end up crashing into something or someone instead of reaching whatever destination you’re making your way to. It just looks awful!

At least the “Aw shit, here we go again” meme has been revived for our viewing pleasure.
