GTA:LCS "incredible" feature revealed: MULTIPLAYER

LCS multiplayer will include seven gameplay modes, with up to six players battling it out on their choice of the three islands unlocked in the single-player game. Both the islands and character skins will become unlocked in multiplayer as you come across them in single-player, so you'll start off with one island and nine character skins but by the end of the game you'll have three islands and over 60 character skins available.
 
SHOCKING.

But seriously though... This will actually be a PSP game I'm willing to pay $50 for.

[edit]

No infrastructure mode, no sale! Okay, maybe.
 
This stuff sounds GREAT!

Six player free roaming? Battling freely across the islands? (yes, one at a time, i know) Peds and cars just like 1 player? ROCK OVER FUCKING LONDON, ROCK ON FUCKING CHICAGO!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, big time :( for no online. But WOW, this is going to be great.

Ah I was excited but now...not so much.

EDIT - to clear this up some....I'm sure everyone with a PSP will grab this, but I simply don't know that many people with a PSP...or any handheld for that matter. =(
 
Does anyone else think that deathmatch mode just doesn't fit in GTA? :\

I mean, Co-op would be much more fitting.

Didn't you every play it in the original? It was a blast.
 
Seems kind of pointless to me. Where are you going to find that many people with so much free time on their hands to play?

Huh??

These are multiplayer modes that won't take any more time than any other round of multiplayer games. Why are you under the assumption that you need to spend hours to play it?

Rockstar doesn't care if people use the feature. They just want people to buy the game. And with such cool potential (which will ultimately not satisfy many, I predict) it will sell.

That makes it even less ground-breaking. They were hypin this up like the 10o'clockaton.

*Goes to aquaint himself with GTA MP*

I'll be damn it does have multiplayer.
 
I couldn't care less about it actually being online. Playing in a giant city with people you don't know and can't communicate with isn't any fun.

Considering I don't know anyone who owns a PSP this feature is worthless to me.

Yep.

Too bad. It sounds like they've really done ALOT of work on the multiplayer modes. It sound incredible, but I won't be playing it. Oh well.

Amen to that.
 
So, uh, what happened to all of the "it'd be impossible to synchronize all the random peds" junk?

Guess they found another method. I approve.

GREAT!!
 
There should be a 'Gone in 60 Seconds' game where you have to compete against another person (or team) to complete your entire list of cars, by delivering them to the import/export garage. Even in single player that's the first place i'm checking when I start up this game!
 
Does ad-hoc mean that it isn't online? I mean, if it would be online I would probably test it, although I don't think that sth. like Deathmatch fits GTA, but if it isn't I just don't have the possibility to test, cause nobody here owns a PSP :(

Well, that's why there are seven different modes. 1UP talked about their CTF variant where you steal stretch limos and drive them back to your base... that sounds very GTA to me :-)
 
From the picture that IGN painted, this is actually sounding really really swank. If the framerate can be kept at a decent level and the objectives in each multiplayer type are fun, then I see this as a potential system seller.

I'd agree, but then looking at my ds with pictochat and all the wireless multiplay games (heck even single cart sharing) not once have I used any of them :( local system link gets a bit of a frown from me if it doesn't include internet play, basically cause I have a hard time finding anyone over 25 that owns a handheld at all.

It was going to be a no sale on prime hunters becuase it was local wireless only, apparently it's delayed for netplay though. GTA should do the same. that would be mind blowing.

having said that, wireless play option is preferable than no wireless play option.
