RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 This quote is from an IGN.com article found here http://pc.ign.com/articles/394/394831p1.html?fromint=1 " I discreetly raise the topic: "You guys should totally do multiplayer." I know what comes next. They just don't want to do the same old thing and they definitely don't want to incorporate a new idea until they make sure it's solid. Rather than just throw something in to sell a few copies, Rockstar's challenging themselves to design a multiplayer experience that's as solid as the single player game. -- Steve Butts -ign.com" So what it seems that this guy is saying is that Vice City will have multiplayer. HOORRRAAAYYYYY!!!!! Link to comment
Iggy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 im pretty much 102% sure that vc wont have multi, but im 200%sure that there will be a gta multiplayer Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 It says it right here though man, he words it in a stupid way, but after reading it like 10 times I understand what he meant to say. Instead of just making a lack-luster multiplayer to sell a few more copies, Rockstar is trying to go the extra mile to make the Multiplayer as good as the Singleplayer for Vice City. Link to comment
Warmaster129 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Don't take everyting seriously. Remember that other game sites have "reported" that Sin City will be the next in the GTA series. Link to comment
Iggy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 it depends on how this person was wording it though, but now ic what u meen, i guess will all have to wait and find out Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 IGN had hinted at this in a previous article as well. This article is a "hands on article" that came from going to Rockstars office and playing the PC version and talking with them. I think its pretty legit. 17 days my friends, 17 days...

Sintax Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'm pretty sure that's just Rockstar giving the "you should do multiplayer" a shove off. They're saying 'sure we COULD do multiplayer, but we want it to be really good, and we don't have time to make it that good, so we're not going to put it in.' I think that's just a load of crap (ANY multiplayer in GTA3 would be tons of fun), I get the feeling they're waiting for the next title, which will probably be based around multiplayer.

Iggy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 HEY STFU We were having fun u ruined the fun im not flaming u by the way just adding humor Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 The biggest issue with the wording of this snippet is who is saying what, Rockstar isn't saying anything Directly here: What Steve Butts Said- I discreetly raise the topic: "You guys should totally do multiplayer." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Steve Butts was thinking -"I know what comes next. They just don't want to do the same old thing and they definitely don't want to incorporate a new idea until they make sure it's solid. Rather than just throw something in to sell a few copies ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Steve Butts learned from the interview - "Rockstar's challenging themselves to design a multiplayer experience that's as solid as the single player game." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That last part is FACT, just keep reading it over and over again, you will see what I mean. He's saying instead of Rockstar just slapping a hum drum multiplayer in there to sell a couple more copies they are putting a lot of effort into it so it will be the same high quality as the single player.

Iggy Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 lol i agree with ur sig., but u have to agree the ps2 versions r pretty sweet Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 ps2 versions might be sweet (not even a ps2 can taint the awesomeness of GTA ) but the PC version will ALWAYS be sweeter especially if Vice City PC has Multiplayer built in like this article says Link to comment
Guest Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 wtf that was the ign guys saying it would be cool to have multiplayer in it... no GTA dev said anything about it Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 It was a hands on interview with the Rockstar team. He stated what they were doing. It doesn't say exaclty what the Devs said, but what it does says is that "Rather than just throw something in to sell a few copies Rockstar's challenging themselves to design a multiplayer experience that's as solid as the single player game" I'm sorry, we don't have a transcript or a tape recording of his visit to Rockstar Studios Link to comment
Mercenary Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 You people have way to much time on your hands....can you not just wait? Link to comment
-=WeSsW@Re=- Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Would be S :D :D :D Sweeet!!!!!! Only in Europe the release date is 1 day later 18 days Link to comment
-=WeSsW@Re=- Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I think I know why ps2 gets GTA versions first, because the first develop the gameplay, and when they come to graphics they have an excuse that the ps2 can't handle pretty graphics so they can work on it at the pc version.

-=WeSsW@Re=- Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I think in VC there is only 1 level - correct me if not Link to comment
RipTide Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 I'm pretty sure not many people will skip the single player forever, its kind of the reason there is multiplayer and the story is great. Second, Rockstar could care less if you skip the single player, just as long as they sell a lot of games and get their due recognition as a great game developer Link to comment
