The guys here at Loot Ninja are very excited about the multiplayer modes that are going to be in GTA IV. As always, we had some questions and many were answered in a recent issue of OXM. Here are some excerpts:
- In all multiplayer modes entire Liberty City is available (Host sets what area people respawn at this is the main battle area but you can go anywhere)
- Your online person can be male or female
- Money you get determines you rank online
-Get money by killing people
-Host can set how chat works (everyone hears you, only teams can hear each other, or proximity chat)
-In race mode anything goes (you can use helicopters, boats, or even run across finish as long as your first you win)
-Shooting and driving is fairly difficult (as it should be)
- Hangman’s NOOSE is 4 players and starts at airport where you must take Kenny Petrovic to safe zone in city while pursued by the NOOSE team (National Organization of Security Enforcement)
-You can skip rockets across the ground if aimed correctly
So is anyone else really excited about this. This is the reason that many believe the game was delayed. They wanted to make the multiplayer aspect of the game as important as the story. Only a month away.
“This is the reason that many believe the game was delayed.”
Maybe one reason, but they’ve already stated publicly that the PS3 was a definite contributing factor to the delay. google it.
Oh and ….GAME OF THE FOREVER.
@ Doc:
I heard both consoles were a factor. People say that it was the limitations of HD DVD and others say it was a PS3 hardware problem. But fuck it. Game is coming in a month and Loot Ninja is as excited as you are man.
