New single and multiplayer GTA IV details uncovered

July 11, 2007 in News comments 9

While E3 explodes all around us with brand new games, it's worth keeping an eye on those titles we already know - a little - about, especially when new info slips into view amid the E3 madness. We're talking about Grand Theft Auto IV and some new single-player and multiplayer details that might interest fans of Rockstar's long-standing franchise.

Last month Rockstar Games announced that it was going to reveal details of the multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto IV "soon." However, thanks to the world of magazine exclusivity and the wonders of the Interweb, we've already been able to get our greasy mitts on quite a few snippets of information. Sorry, Rockstar!

According to a preview in the latest issue of Games TM, one multiplayer mode will allow players to face off against one another on the city streets. The catch is that they'll have to hunt down their opponent first, across what we imagine will be a vast landscape. As players commit crimes, their wanted levels will rise to the point of seven stars, at which point their locations will be revealed on the game's radar. Read on at GamerSquad...

    Grand Thefy Auto IV just keeps on sounding better and better ^^
    I was never a great fan of 2 player on San Andreas (( due to the fact that you had to stay close - pain if you feel out of an aeroplane ^^ )) but this looks like its going to be completely different

    I don't really like playing games like this with other people. The seven star thing is cool though =D

    That one multiplayer mode sounds interesting. Cause a lot of havoc, and then when you reach 7 stars, you have to worry about the other player finding you and killing you, if they didn't find you already...

    I like that seven star idea, too. Hope there's more multiplayer modes, playing this alone could eventually get boring, heh.

    They need better ratings cause 7 is all well and good, but we need CIA and possible the army or such come in, or better yet Terrorist in here trying to kill you lol
