by Dustin Burg { Mar 14th 2008 at 3:30PM }

PSM Spain has the inside scoop on Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer and color us turquoise, we're impressed already! According to the PSM Spain article, multiplayer will support sixteen players and consist of fifteen different multiplayer modes including traditional death match variants as well as a racing, cops and robbers and bomb based gametypes. We're also told that all this multiplayer mayhem will be played inside the same "map" as the single player campaign. Equally exciting is the fact that multiplayer characters will be fully customizable, including a player's race, sex, hair style and clothing. Check out the complete list of all fifteen multiplayer game modes posted after the break and ponder what exactly "Deal Breaker" mode entails. Oh and ... w00t! W00t!

Hmmm, one thing noticeably absent is online coop a la the way that Crackdown did it. This will be in the game, right? That's a biiiiiigggggg deal.

Luigi Soprano @ Mar 14th 2008 4:44PM

Cops and crooks and 16 player free mode??!!? I hope it reality cause I can't wait for the official announcement! And then I'm gonna try and keep my head from not exploding.

Adam Sutherland @ Mar 14th 2008 5:12PM

Co-op please!

Cyrus @ Mar 14th 2008 5:20PM

COOL!!!

Neuromancer @ Mar 14th 2008 5:30PM

Coop would be nice but cops and crooks sounds decent. Free roam will be fun too with a friend. Good job Rockstar!

xenocidic @ Mar 14th 2008 8:14PM

the hotness

andyface @ Mar 14th 2008 8:15PM

Multiplayer GTA, interesting, I'm generally not that concerned by multiplayer features, and to be honest this hardly sweetens the deal for me, but then I pre-ordered GTA IV almost a year ago, so I hardly need more incentives, but this could be fun, let's hope it works well.

Josh @ Mar 14th 2008 8:37PM

i really hope this is real...

haha when I type "I" everything shows up after...

No surprise to me. I've been playing GTA multiplayer on the PSP and if they could do 8 people on one island on a psp then of course they'd be able to do much more on the 360/PS3...

Halonut1 @ Mar 15th 2008 2:49AM

Someone pinch me..my head asploded.
i do not care nore do i want co-op..if just cops and robbers, deathmatch(and team) and most of all FREEROAM is on there with ALL 16 people...DEAR GOD. move over halo 3!(and look at my NAME. HAH!)

Bac0nator @ Mar 15th 2008 10:34AM

I love the fact that if your racing 15 other people and you like someone elses car more ya can simple cut them off, throw them out of the car and take theres.. lol. AWESOME

EmptyEnergy @ Mar 15th 2008 10:58AM

Looking forward to this, but did anyone play the acclaimed multiplayer of Kane & Lynch? Too early until release to put on the rose colored 'anything GTA is great' glasses.

Game is a purchase though because with a name with GTA in the title, it has to be good.

George Arauz @ Mar 15th 2008 3:12PM

is this game EVER gonna friggin come out:?

SadisticHam @ Mar 15th 2008 12:28PM

It'll be good with friends but er randoms? The game modes are going to get abused by so many cheap bullshit tactics it'll be annoying over fun IMO.

Like the rocket racers playlist in Halo, the idea is great and it IS a lot of fun when you play it properly but you get dicks that decide they'd rather walk about trying to murder you, pathetic, stupid, but it happens.

Egon Pax @ Mar 17th 2008 10:07AM

Yes this sounds awesome... and to those with CO-OP comments I agree with you. I would definitely like some CO-OP in GTA4... so if you read the joystiq article about the same info...

"The gametypes they sampled included two racing variants; two deathmatch variants (team-based and free-for-all); two mission-based "Mafia" variants; and a co-op version of a single-player mission."
