I think the best way to think of this is it's kind of like a pseudo-MMO. You still have to connect to various games or start your own free mode like you did in IV, but when you're in you can do pretty much every activity that's in the SP like golf, tennis, etc (in IV the few activities it did have were locked out of multiplayer) and you also have your stats saved to the server (clothes, properties, etc). There's also supposedly a ridiculous amount of missions/jobs to do, which many seem to have their own cutscenes and stories like a regular single player GTA would.
Not to mention other stuff like an editor for making your own custom races and I think even custom jobs.

As far as I know the content creator is currently only for races and deathmatches.
Yeah you're probably right. When I thought about it having a custom job creator wouldn't make sense and would just break the game's economy since there'd have to be rewards.

And Content Creator won't be availible on release. Only later this fall
sorry if it has already been mentioned but...
after reading the latest GTAO article on R* site
will it be possible to just make a private server to free roam and mess around. And not worry about rep, money, other crews, etc. Also can you do cheat codes in a private free roam server?

Just play single player
Really doubt it. But they haven't said anything to the contrary.
The content creator isn't even going to be available at launch. They're spreading everything out because they're afraid things are going to be down a lot. They're right too. Lol.
Oh you pessimist!

Stop being a antithesis Zolock.
I don't see why they wouldn't let you make a private free roam to play with a couple friends, or fill the room with friends. There's no reason to disallow it or allow it but block out any of the features. Cheat codes I don't think they'd allow though.

How do I know Rockstar is ready, if they're not ready and they're sort of ready all at the same time?

Right now, the content creator is only for DM and races, simple modes (and the Content creator does not launch with the game anyway), but the plan is to make the content creator available for all modes, including custom heists and fully scripted missions.
Lezlie Benzies said in another interview that they basically want to give people the tools to make missions as complex as anything from GTA V.

Around 11am-12pm gmt. Aprox.
Good luck! From the pictures, it looks like we're only going to be able to make fairly lean characters. I just hope the facial features are a little more distinct than what they've shown.

Thank you very much.
I am so excited. I need to check my social club account, get ready for GAF crew etc.

I have a feeling that A LOT of people are going for the Marston option too so I don't think I'm going to. I don't really want to look like everyone else. Meh.

Ready yourself for it not to be working on launch... I expect the servers to crash or be very buggy for the first few days.
John Marston is the bonus for Social Club members, Niko Bellic is the bonus for Collector's Edition users. That's all we know at the moment. The complete list of non-exclusive characters you can pick for parents hasn't been revealed.

Wonder if you can actually make him look exactly like Marston, down to the clothes and stuff.

I could imagine that the protagonists of the GTAs would be involved. Although that would make it odd that Niko Bellic needs the CE, instead of someone like say...the Agent from Bureau because it would fit in line along with Marsten being outside the series.
I doubt it'd involve characters from V..unless it's exclusively involves those with parents from other series being a form of DLC.
I'm putting too much thought into it. We'll find out tomorrow.
yeah I have a feeling they wot allow cheat codes. But I dont want to have to grind to get good weapons, vehichles etc. to just mess around and just have fun. My friends and I are just too busy. Hopefully like 4, there are just weapons laying around, but I feel that wont be the case in V, by the sounds of how they are setting it up. But who knows.

Why, oh why, did I click that Eurogamer link?
Why do people insist on complaining about OPTIONS?

You're supposed to just play the "free roam" part of the game properly, like it's another character story. Just with less cutscenes. If you want to "mess around" there will be options once the content creator is out. I'm sure you can create custom Deathmatch and Races which involve crazy weapons and vehicles.

Can female characters touch strippers at the clubs?
Can male character date female character?

yeah I am aware of the content creator, but we dont want to do DM or races ussually. We just mess around, try and stand against the cops, or fool around in the different vehicles, you know, its just whatever emergent gameplay opens up as we just do whatever and nothing. That's mainly all we did in 4 and it was a blast. The more structred stuff, just didnt hold our interest at all.
Hopefully there are some options for something like that.

Likely no cheats online. I can't imagine those would be allowed in any way.
I believe you can play free roam with just friends (or no friends for that matter).
Whether you can turn off rep and money... well... I don't really think so.
I'd bet on it that you can play with JUST your buds and if you want to ignore the missions I'm sure you can. That said, I don't think you could turn off money or RP. You probably also will need to buy weapons. Except for maybe a few key exceptions, the game wont have guns just laying on the ground in free roam like GTAIV did.
I'm sure it will dominate.
Apparently there are already some random crazy stuff in the game!
CVG described a Mario Kart-esque race mode with power ups and rockets and stuff
The structure of GTAV will be way different/better than GTAIV, so I wouldn't count it out as something that won't hold your attention just yet!
In GTA4, free roam was basically the only thing to do if you didn't want to play competitive stuff. The actual co-op missions were good, but there weren't many of them. In GTAO they're supposed to be fixing that by making actual activities and options from SP available as well, and also adding lots of missions (including co-op ones) into it. I think it should be a lot of fun without cheat codes. If you want to just get into a car with friends and drive to stores to rob them, and then evade cops, and drive somewhere and play tennis or golf, etc, you should be able to do all that.
Do you think we'll be able to play GTA:O as a single player game (i.e. you can start missions on your own)? It sounds like there's a lot of new missions to do. The only problem is my game is a 360 version (I don't have a PS3), so I would have to get Xbox Live Gold in order to play it, which sucks big time.
GTAO will have solo missions, but you'll need Gold to access it at all.
Yeah, that's a major bummer. I will probably wait for the PC version then instead.
