GTA IV Week: Multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto IV has it (hands-on, details)
Posted by: admin in Gaming
It’s no secret — Grand Theft Auto IV has multiplayer modes. Surprise!
There are at least 15 of them actually, and the integration is seamless with the single-player experience, in a way that’s not unlike what Criterion Games pulled off with Burnout Paradise. Accessible any time, players can create, join, or search for multiplayer games by pulling out the single-player central character Niko Bellic’s cell phone with the touch of the d-pad.
Rockstar isn’t ready to reveal all of the mutiplayer modes, but they did give us a chance to go hands-on with four of the 15 plus that will ship with the game which hits shelves on April 29. Check after the jump for the first information on and screens of GTA IV’s multiplayer, including detailed information on “Team Deathmatch,” “GTA Race,” “Cops N’ Crooks,” and the cooperative scenario, “Hangman’s NOOSE.”
[Quick update/correction: This article originally stated that there would be 15 multiplayer modes. Rockstar was swift to correct me upon seeing the article — there will be more than 15 modes when the game ships. Sorry for any confusion, and might I state “more than 15 modes” sounds pretty sweet, eh?]
