That is making me drool, I hope someone else in my town is getting a PSP with LCS for X-Mas then I can thrash them in multiplayer smile.gif.

 

But 7 multi-player modes!?

 

*faints again*

 

This game definitely will blow us away.

It's a good thing that Rockstar developed their own engine. This is just a taste of what's coming in the future with GTA4. smile.gif

so how will u be able to play multiplayer? do u have to get a group of people in the same room and it only works at that range? could u play with someone who lives across town? the answers to these questions will decide whether i bite the bullet and buy a psp along with LCS. any explanation of multiplayer would be appreciated. 'my honor demands it.'

The review said that the multiplayer works Ad Hoc, which means that all players must be within WiFi range, which is, I believe, arround 100 feet. Less if the walls interfere. So if not within the same room, you'd have to be in the same building for this to work. There might be a way to simulate Ad Hoc WiFi via Internet using a wireless router. In terms of technology, I do not see what would prevent that, but I am not sure if appropriate software exists.

 

This is really great news. I only know one other person who'll be getting LCS at this time, but even with 2 players this promisses to be fun.

Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

I'd guess that there is something similar to vigilante missions. One team is trying to catch the other. Also, races would be nice.

about that multiplayer, how can you talk while playing? double triangle combo or something? and how would you type your message, no it doesn't sound that great, if there is a multiplayer it should be on PC! xmas.gif

 

do i have a mod helping me with edits for my bad english or something? it looks like it sometimes,

Talking's really unessessary. It's all carnage, all you'd say is "DIE DIE DIE!"

 

So we have 7 multiplayer modes. So far we know 3 of them.

 

Liberty City Survivor

Protection Racket

Steal the Stretch (from the 1UP preview)

 

I think racing is a must. Rockstar would be foolish not to include it in multiplayer.

 

Hopefully Internet play is possible. I can't wait to tear you bitches up. devil.gif

Xlink supports the PSP right? Its a tunneling software for LAN/Wifi games.Check this out.

- Supports XBox, Playstation2, Gamecube and PSP system-link / LAN enabled games

 

Thank god rockstar made it wifi compatible, which means we could use xlink to play online with others not in our area!

Yes, that does exactly what I was trying to describe, and it should work. Good find.

I just can´t stop to thank god for this Revalation - This will be the 26 hardest days of my life

(europe is 28th Oct.)

But let´s talk about the characters you can play...

I hope Asuka or whoever this japanese Lady is, is among the playable characters and of course

Salvatore would be nice.

What characters would you like to play guys ?

I think I´ll focus on killing my friends with a katana, that rocks!!! inlove.gif

For those of you who read the IGN Multiplayer Hands On, They say something

about you have to have firmware 2.0 to play Multiplayer, can this be true?

I love my EMUs and this would get me into a conflict (I have 1.5 no update yet).

You can use WAB version changer, tricking games to think your PSP is 2.00.

Here is the link.

And if the Version Changer doesn't work, just upgrade. After you get tired of the game, just downgrade again.

It always works with every 2.00 required game. Its just tricking the number to 2.00.

I have used it with Medievil already, I´m just not sure it works with LCS but you might

be right, and he if it doesn´t who cares theres this´awesome downgrader.

A bit of work if you want to use homebrew, but for LCS I would up- and downgrade daily...

And if LCS is as good as I think I don´t want to play any other game for a long time (maybe a year)

 

BTW THX for replying

I hope the knive from SA is going to be it LCS so I can go by surprise on multiplayer behind my friends and put the knive in his chest just like in SA, that would be nice.
