Rockstar aiming for 16-player shenanigans in next GTA

FidoDido | October 16, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
News has arrived that Rockstar is attempting to get a 16-player multiplayer mode up-and-running in Grand Theft Auto IV, one that will supposedly be "richer" than the traditional deathmatches seen in most other games.
Say "multiplayer" to us, and we think Mario Kart. Goldeneye. Halo. As hard as we may try, we most certainly do not think Grand Theft Auto. OK, GTA II had a limited multiplayer bit, but that was eight years ago, and like we say: limited.

    It should be a fully polished version somewhat like MTA!

    It better be good, if what Volition are aiming for in Saints Row 2 this could be rather basic, if you didn't know Stillwater in Saints Row 2 is a city built for Multiplayer so going by that it may have some form of co-op with the whole city open online, add that to the fact that Saints Row 2 has planes(bikes,boats,helicopters and cars) and the ability to create and customise your own gang and cribs aswell as a ton of other features... GTA IV is gonna need more than a 16 player online mode which will just end up to be what they said it won't be "deathmatch" what do they expect players to do, coexist in the world while dancing and having a laugh heh.

      It'll actually take those additions to make SR2 worthwhile. The first one sucked. Truth be told, GTAIV is a step up from San Andreas, and that's what SR2 looks like it's trying to be.

    "attempting"?


    Please. Rockstar has tons of developers and they have until February time or later to do this by. They will easily pull this off, I can't wait. I hope it's cross console, but that's unlikely.

    Oh man, this sounds awesome. Hopefully there won't be a lock on the city map and use of vehicles. Co-operative play would be a treat too.

    I hope they make a first person view, so that online is even more awesome.
