Title: Multiplayer in GTA? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 29, 2004, 11:30:43 PM I was discussing this with a couple friends the other night. Would online multiplayer work in the GTA series? Personally, I can't think of a way that it would. It seems to me that there would just be utter chaos and that the whole Grand Theft Auto play mechanic would be destroyed. It'd be a completely different kind of game... more like online State of Emergency with cars. (Shudder.) None of us could think of a way that Grand Theft Auto would work online and still play like Grand Theft Auto. Can any of you? I'd honestly rather see the series stay just how it is: single player, but these friends of mine think online multiplayer GTA would be awesome.

You'd never get anywhere in a car, as some loser would always shoot you from up high, groups of players would stake out their turf and shoot everyone else etc etc the whole concept of a mostly driving game would be lost.

Part 3 and Vice City are quite different of course, but I'm sure Rockstar would know how to make a good multiplayer game.
They could always change the gameplay slightly. Just look at games like Splinter Cell, the multiplayer in that game is quite different from the single player. Title: Re: Multiplayer in GTA?

Title: Re: Multiplayer in GTA? Post by: Sureshot on June 30, 2004, 09:38:11 AM You can play GTA3 & GTA:VC online via mods, but it's stunt & race type affairs rather than doing missions. I'm not entirely sure how well co-op would work, they'd have to make quite a few changes.
Title: Re: Multiplayer in GTA? Post by: Geondp on June 30, 2004, 11:32:40 AM There is a mod for the pc ver (vice city i think) that lets you do mp, tho im prdy sure its all PvP

I think it is just PvP though, like you said. To me, that just wouldn't work as a GTA game. After a while, it'd just turn into Vigilante 8 meets State of Emergency. Yuck.
