Grand Theft Auto 4 - Image 1 


Some scans from the Spanish version of the PlayStation Magazine revealed quite a number of details regarding Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto 4  (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3) multiplayer mode.

According to the translations from the GTAforums posters, the game will be supporting up to 16 players online and will have as many as 15 different game modes. So far, 14 game modes have been named:
  • Hangmans NOOSE
  • Car Jack City
  • Bomb da Base
  • Bomb da Base II
  • Mafia Work
  • Team Mafia Work
  • Deathmatch
  • Team Deathmatch
  • Turf War
  • Cops N Crooks
  • Race
  • GTA Race
  • Deal Breaker
  • Free Roam
In Race and GTA Race modes, the host decides which vehicles are involved as well as the number of laps to be played. The race itself involves shooting and throwing molotov cocktails from the window. If your opponents get careless, you can even steal their cars.

Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch on the other hand has the host choosing how many pedestrians will be in the game, the amount of traffic, whether police intervention will be available or not, and the type of weapons that can be picked up.

Cops n Crooks has one team playing as cops while the other takes the role of the criminals. The cops must stop the criminals from escaping and can monitor the locations of the criminals on their GPS systems. The criminals, on the other hand, don't know where the cops are making it a pretty exciting match for them.

In Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work, players are given various orders from Kenny Petrovic to take out certain individuals. The players have to accomplish this before others are beat them to it.

Finally, we have Hangman's Noose, a co-op game where you and your teammates have to escort a mobster, while being pursused by a SWAT team. This sounds like a pretty awesome game mode similar to assassination on FPS games.

Here are a few more important facts about the multiplayer aspect of GTA 4 that were revealed:

  • The map used in multiplayer is the same one used for single player and
  • All the game modes are accessed via the cellphone.
  • Character customization is handled via the cellphone. Players can select their online avatar's gender, race, clothing, and more.

 » Turf War is looking like the best one
I'm hoping for 2 player split-screen, that would be awesome, especially with the Turf War mode! :D
