Im sure the thought has already crossed all of your minds, but Im really excited about the possibility of Rockstar implementing some sort of online multiplayer aspect. Just think: You and your buddies could create a gang and take over territories and hold it off against rival gangs, do drive by shootings and what not. Or even play cops and robbers...wow it would be amazing. If there is no online I would still be happy because GTA is my favorite franchise but adding online would simply kick ass. If you have any ideas post em.
yea there could bedifferent lobby rooms to join with x amount of people in each lobby room and you and your buddies can walk around together. it could be like everyone is your enemy (you dont have to shot your friends) and it'll be chaos
If they want to add online go for it. If they want to make online a main aspect of the game, i'll pass. I just cannot picture it being fun, it would be nothing but, as a previous poster mentioned, chaos. the effect would wear thin quickly. I've thought about online GTA before but i cannot think of any scenario that would implement it properly and make it work.
[QUOTE="Koinuboy"]I don't think it'll have online. That'll interfere with their plans for APB.javier954
Wats Apb
Â
APB is a game from Real-Time Worlds, the developer of Crackdown. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Rockstar, it's just from that guy that created GTA who left Rockstar.Â
Yea they should make it like home where you can customize your person and have your own house, but after that make it all GTA style with being able to do anything. And have voice chat for everyone.
APB is a game called All Points Bulletin Its being developed by the creators of GTA, NOT ROCKSTAR, but a different company. Since they are different companies and games, there is a possibility of online as the creator of this post suggested.

Well they DID have online with GTA 1 and 2Â where it was just the whole city, and it was a death match type of deal (find and kill eachother)
Â
I'd rather have that more than anything in the recent GTAs. Just the entire cities like in single player, but like 4 or more players have to find eachother in this "world" and kill eachother with any means.Â
I think GTA being online is good on paper, but I think it would be really difficult to execute. TriangleHard
Yeah but think about Online CO-OP Crime Spree you share the star meter and if one get's busted you guys are both busted and they could scrore it to like killing a Pedstern gets you 500 points Hijacking a car get's you 200 points Killing a cop gets you 1,000 points, and ETC
Imagine if GTAIV came to the pc with a scenerio creater like Starcraft, Where you could create a dialog have your own statsics custom looks and more... it would be godly.
that really would be intense...with a set amout of "crews" that control certain areas like san andreas and people just tryig to take over other territory...and when you sign up for the online or make ur character you gotta enlist into on eof those crews
Would the game be played in smaller map or actual game map? If the world is that large how well will players be interact with each other? If the game is played in smaller map would the game be any better than other games, because the strength of the game is huge world and open ended gameplay.Â
I think GTA shouldn't bother going online, and start working to become MMO where the strength of GTA would come alive.
MMOFPS style could work for this. Cops VS Robbers kind of thing. Zones that are safe for cops, zones that are safe for "robbers" then zones in which the two can fight. The "safe zones" would have stores and NPC missions, while the fighting zones are objective style, for example one team must complete a drug deal, then escape while the other must find out where the drug deal is going down by observing any suspicious activity (like a car driving like a player would rather an NPC) and putting a stop to it. Maybe not have anything that flags them as a player character unless a cop identifies them or something, or they bring out or shoot a gun, or do something illegal within a certain radius of a cop player.
Just think of the chaos, random cars blowing up, getting shot in the face from out of no where. Just like imagine yourself when your goofing off in a GTA game (you steal cars, shoot stuff up, and drive like a maniac). Then imagine thousands of people doing that. It would lag like crazy, and you would die all the time. And then their will be all the poeple modding the heck out of the game.
But but look teh here at GTA SA... Online? http://youtube.com/watch?v=gGVxZWtcp9QStarFoxCOM
Dude wtf? This is the first time i ever saw that and its true! Im seriously planning on buying this game for my PC just to play it online, Isn't it reduced price now? how much is the pc version?
Â
EDIT: Omg it's only 15 dollars for the pc version i'm going to buy it 2morrow to try out this online thing.Â
i get my butt kicked and mugged enough in real life...id rather not suffer that while playing games aswell.
Although i must say, the thought of actually stealing someones car and to have that car actually belong to another player really sounds tantilising, haha! EAT MY DUST!
ahem... though i do agree with one of the above posters, it would be complete carnage because everyone, everywhere would be playing GTA the way everyone plays it...by killing everything they see, stealing whatevers onscreen, spawning rhino tanks and running over people... Random deaths aplenty
This would have to be a limited online coop thing... At least that would be the coolest online application. Small lobbies with small groups of players. Rockstar could design a coop mode much in the same vein as a standard FPS coop... common objectives, missions that require teamwork etc... You could go around the gameworld and do everything, but in a small gang of up to 4 people.Â
Some sort of MMO thing would not work at all... neither would some sort of Deathmatch or Team Match... in order to retain the GTA feel it would have to be an online coop story mode primarily designed around playing with friends. I suppose they could do this in split screen format, but I don't know if that'll be possible with a gameworld like GTA IV's will be.
I can't believe that no one has thought of this more rash. I mean think of it. What would be the easiest way and arguably the most fun thing they could do with the online. Why can't they just have it as it is in Single player.Â
 Online would be a seperate "game" and your progress would be different than offline, but as you play online you upgrade and you can form 'clan' or what woudl be known as gangs and be able to customize them yourself and have some missions to keep them busy and enable "gang wars" and being able to take over territories and such. i mean just keep it as close to the REAL game as you can. Because you still want it to be 'realistic' because that is why we love GTA as much as we do
The trick would be how would you consistantly keep a characters progress and in touch with his friend because there isn't going to be just ONE world for our WORLD. They have a few tough choices to make. They could make this great or just go through the motions and make it like every other online game. .. which is how it will end up since they sold out and probably dont give a sh*t any more.Â
