Chris Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 PSM Spain has an exciting new article in it's latest issue, with 20 new screenshots and a decent amount of information on GTA IV's multiplayer modes. Here's a quick summary of the new info, and below that, a list of the multiplayer modes. There are 15 multiplayer game modes in GTA IV. PSM played 7 of them. The rules of each game are set by the host. There is support for up to 16 players. Your online character is fully customizable. You can alter his race, sex, hair, clothing etc. In Race and GTA Race, the host gets to decide the vehicles you can use, number of laps etc. You're able to shoot and throw molotovs from the window, and also steal opponents' cars. In Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, the host gets to decide the number of pedestrians, amount of traffic, police (on or off), and type of weapons In Cops N Crooks, one team are cops, the other, crooks. Cops must stop the crooks from escaping. They can monitor the locations of the crooks on their GPS. Crooks don't know where the cops are. In Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work, you play as one of Kenny Petrovic's mafia henchmen. You must complete hits ordered by the boss (via the cellphone) before your opponents can. Hangman's NOOSE features co-op play. You and a friend will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursued by a SWAT team. The available multiplayer modes: Hangman's NOOSE Car Jack City Bomb da Base Bomb da Base II Mafia Work Team Mafia Work Deathmatch Team Deathmatch Turf War Cops N Crooks Race GTA Race Deal Breaker Free Mode Car Jack City Big thanks to nevermikel for all this information.

TM™ Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Bomb Da Base is a mission from GTA III where you have the blow that ship up which is full of drugs. I think that could possibly have the same aspects of what it had in GTA III. Also, that's awesome that we can customize our online character.

The Cool Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I love all of you, and i'm not ashamed to tell it. This game is gonna be THE SHIT. I didn't think they would make it this complex, but once again R* has shocked me. It's like they read my mind or something. Matter of fact, they read all our minds. Well boys, it was a long wait, but it was worth it. Get ready to become unified on April 29th. I hope to see you all there, and it will be an honor to put a bullet in you.

NotYouHaha Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Multiplayer is gonna be awesome. GTA IV is gonna be the best game ever--- online and offline. EDIT: Um, wheres the 20 new screenshots? Edited March 14, 2008 by NotYouHaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindklb Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 This is amazing, ive been wanting this forever. I cant fucking wait. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA One question though, do you think that it will have a split screen for just you and a friend at your house like if you dont have online, or will it be limited, or will it not exist at all? plz respond.

Alkali64 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You said Car Jack City twice btw. Great info though. I'll be on free mode for ages. Then maybe a team deathmatch or FFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been wondering about that too, there hasn't been any mentioning about it. But there's a good chance offline multiplayer will be in the game. If you can have free mode online, why not offline.

mark123 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) ahahaha!! yayyyyy this is gonna be fucking awesome!!!! ahh why the hell does it have to be another month n a bit away!! someone put me in a coma so when i wake up i wont notice the time!. or if i end up dreaming of gta 4 it will be torture.. so second thoughts dont put me in a coma.. and i think it will not be split screen. almost all online multiplayers are just full screen with all the characters on screen.. i HOPE its like that because i hate split screen! rockstar you are the man!.. woman...YOU ARE GOD!

Whitey Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 and i think it will not be split screen. almost all online multiplayers are just full screen with all the characters on screen.. i HOPE its like that because i hate split screen! rockstar you are the man!.. woman...YOU ARE GOD! That would make me very mad. If I can't play offline with a friend then multiplayer makes no difference to me. GRAW2 and many other games are made for online but include offline because more people actually play offline than online players because of several factors. It'd be kind of a bad move to make local play on San Andreas, then drop all multiplayers but online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bossman Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Fantastic news, this is surely a big selling point, and that's not even including the huge single player mode! I've personally never played a multiplayer GTA match, so this will blow me away come release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 @ mark123 That's true. If it's like Halo and other games you can system-link if you want more than 4 players. Meaning you'd have to have 2 TVs and systems. But myself, I'm fine with only 4. I only have 3 friends over at once usually - and we loved running around on San Andreas, despite it's great limited abilities. It got boring, but I know we'd spend a whole weekend just sitting around playing GTA IV the first several times they come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixGTA Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) All I can say is "WOW". Like most of you guys, I didn't expect full fledge multiplayer games in GTA4. Talk about replay value!!! Makes you think what else they have yet to reveal to us! Edited March 15, 2008 by PhoenixGTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Turf War and all the other modes like Cops and Crooks seem to sound really good. Customizing your own charachter is just bloody mint. Cant wait to do some turf wars on this game. That sounds like something i'll really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Free Mode sounds amazing, but I wonder if you'll be restricted to only one section of the city? I think the host should have an option as to if they want the whole city open or pick a certain location on a map. To expand on what I mean by saying picking a certain location on the map, the host could have the map in front of him on his/her screen and create a square around the area he wants, get what I mean?

The Bossman Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 ^ I'm guessing you'll be able to pick the area you want to frolic in, but I doubt you'll be able to customise the region you'll be exploring, although anything could be possible. Having the whole map open sounds a bit too advanced, IMO, especially if the city is packed with pedestrians, cars and the rest of it, with 40 rampaging lunatics blasting each other to bits. I'm just happy with a multiplayer mode, in whatever form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
