GTA 5 Multiplayer

Last Edited by TreeFitty February 19, 2013 : 466 Comments : 197,079 Views

Rockstar Games have confirmed GTA 5 will include Multiplayer. Other than that confirmation, no further details have been released, however because of their claim that GTA 5 will be their "biggest and most ambitious game yet", we can speculate that the multiplayer will also be improved upon.

What We Can Expect

The regular/generic multiplayer modes will probably make a return, such as;
  • Free Mode
  • Deathmatch
  • Team Deathmatch
  • Race iGTA5
  • GTA Race

Online Mini Games

There's also a chance Rockstar learned from fans wishes with Red Dead Redemption and included mini-games like Poker in online play. If this was implemented in GTA IV it would have been the equivellant to playing bowling or pool with someone over the internet. While we don't know which mini games will be included in GTA 5 - although it looks like we may be able to play golf in GTA 5, there's a fair chance we may be able to play some of them online. iGTA5

Possible New Online Modes

The inclusion of planes, and particularly fighter jets could lead to some exciting new online modes. Imagine a dog-fight above Los Santos by a pair of fighter jets? A game mode could include one person trying to stay alive as long as possible while flying away from everyone else in fighter jets. There's also the possibility of jet-ski races on the water.

Co-Op

In an interview with Dan Houser, IGN was able to confirm that co-op would not be in GTA V's story.

It would be impossible to do that and keep the level of precision we've got in this. You could make a great co-op game, but we felt that we're doing other bits of our multiplayer that will fulfill those desires in ways we think are very fun.

No single-console co-op. No splitscreen. iGTA5

Online multiplayer will definitely have some cooperative modes - likely heist missions to coincide with the singleplayer story. There could be numerous small heist missions across the map in Free Mode similar to Gang Hideouts in Red Dead Redemption.

Crews, Vendettas, and Feuds

Revealed in an IGN interview, Max Payne 3 and future titles from Rockstar including GTA V will be using crews among other features. Crews are essentially clans (or posses in the case of Red Dead Redemption) which can be formed privately or public. They will likely have visible custom emblems worn on their equipment to show what crew they belong to. Players can join up to 5 different crews. iGTA5

If you get killed twice by another player, you can start a vendetta against that player which is made known to everyone. A special X marks them and killing them will earn you more XP. If they kill you, though, they get the bonus XP. Feuds are vendettas between crews. Even when you are in a game with random people, if someone in a rival feuding crew is on the other team then your past feuds will become an objective in this match. You'll get bonus XP for killing them and they'll also count towards your crew feud.

Rockstar will be continuing to integrate the Social Club to track stats including what crews are feuding with who and which crew is winning. This will greatly improve competitiveness during matches - even if you don't plan on it happening. Crews will also persist from game to game so crews in Max Payne 3 will carry over to GTA V. Note: The crew system and features may change from Max Payne 3 to Grand Theft Auto V but take this as an overview of what to expect.

    Who doesn't want split screen. For the times you don't have Xbox live and you and a friend can just go in different places. That would be awesome.

    ok this is to the people who want split screen then you are going to the wrong game for that. GTA is a game where one person can feel like a one man/woman wrecking team or hop on with his friends and show the cops. That you should realy choose wisley if you wanna chase that guy for scratching your car. so if you want split screen go to COD or Minecraft or something like that.
