flacotanner Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Do you think that GTAIV for PC will equal up to the hugeness and entertaining SAMP. Basically what im asking is if do you think some of the people who create SAMP and VCMP will make a program likewise for GTAIV. Now I know that GTAIV already has multiplayer, but not on the level that San Andreas has. I mean i would rather have the SAMP kind of multiplayer for GTAIV on the PC. I mean think of the amazingness of it. You can choose where cars spawn, there would be servers that you could create with scripts and stuff just like SAMP. Thats the kind of multiplayer i want for GTAIV on the PC. It would be amazing. And just think of the mods that will be created for the game. They will look amazing, i mean souped up Nissan Skylines, Hydras and tons of other things. It would look amazing and be amazing, but do you think it will equal up to the largeness and huge open platformish as SAMP was. Give your thoughts and opinions.

blitsie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 yes,a SAMP would be good also talking about SA-MP,what good down loadable gamemodes are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think SA-MP is better than GTAIV Online. And I doubt that there will be an online mod for GTA IV PC. It depends if Rockstar suports modding. The biggest value I see in GTAIV PC is the fact that PC gamers, come november, can enjoy GTA IV as much as they want. They can play it in peace on their PCs. Enjoy the unwrapping of the game, reading the manual, installing it, playing it, the missions, athmosphere, etc..... Its a ritual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryjessman Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 People already can play it on 360 And Ps3 online, im sure it's better than SA-MP, even though i haven't played either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesushumper Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Better. Without a doubt. It's been user-tested on the consoles and was made with MP in mind from the get-go. Though considering SA wasn't made for MP, the SA:MP makes did a damned fine job and i was pretty impressed to see how well it worked, considering everything. And with the announced "expended" MP I'm sure it'll put teh console MP to shame. BUt would anyone be surprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gangsta-NL Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 SA-MP isn't good. MTA is even better. But wtf? Cm'on man... What is this for question. SA-MP and MTA is made by people who are genius, but are not really a professional in designing such things. Rockstar is. Ofcourse R* will be better.

ThunderKnight Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't think RockStar would allow another multiplayer such has what you have mentioned. If they do i think they will issue them cease & desist letter or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoxi Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The synchronisation will obviously be a million times better than SA:MP, but unfortunately I doubt the multiplayer would be completely open and scriptable like SA:MP because you never know what people get up to. Someone could make an abusive or even racist game mode (which I have seen once or twice on SA:MP). R* would not risk appearing to endorse such content, so would most probably avoid it (unlike SA:MP which isn't a commercial product, and isn't represented by an specific person/body...so doesn't really care what people do).

smokeythedemon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 as the person above me said, 4 will have way better syncing. but IMHO I think I like SA-MP more.. theres LOADS of modes to choose from. the one I liked the most in SA-MP was probably the RPG mode. and I doubt GTA4 will have a RPG mode unless somebody mods in into it.

jesushumper Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Rockstar ahs never really -supported- GTA modding. Jsut made it possible, adn not as easy as other games, and gave no SDK. It's jsut possible, and they left it at that. I guarantee that there will MP mods before long. If anything Rockstar will enforce pure servers only and a method for hosting private, unpure servers will be used. of course just liek most other post in teh PC forums, this is all speculation. Hey R*, release some more details, damnit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abel. Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 People already can play it on 360 And Ps3 online, im sure it's better than SA-MP, even though i haven't played either SA:MP is better, more reliable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackmackg Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 now gta multiplayer now is really good. I hate sa mp, it really sucks as a programme. MTA SA i like a lot bettor. more reliable and good looking. but non the less the online on gta now is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to add that sort of thing to R*s multiplayer and get the best of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruXter Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I am quite positive that someone will mod the multiplayer feature to more satisfy our wants. If there is no lan party version, It will most likely be created by a user, adding it will probably get you banned from m$ servers. Unless it's already implemented. Or server features/mods If you can't serve or host you own games on mod servers, I don't see the official multiplayer coming remotely close.. Although I do have high hopes that Rockstar is drooling for the pc release so they can let an animal of ideas out of it's cage at full roam. We could very well be like beta testers for the next gta that comes out. By seeing what we enjoy and what we "mod" and adding it to the console version of the next game. or even DLC releases. samp>gtaiv but only by what we know is confirmed.

tamiravigan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 the gta iv mp is much better! i tested it on my friend's console(xbox360 and ps3) sa-mp is so buggy and also crashes every 10 minutes. and i'm sure that the gta iv mp will be playable more than gtaiv:mp(like the sa-mp, if it will be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_Don Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm officially copryrighting the name "GTA IV-MP" and "MTA IV" so no one can steal it. © GTA IV-MP and MTA IV GTA_Don 2008. SA-MP team might make a multiplayer mod for IV for more features but GTA IV multiplayer on the PS3 / 360 is already awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesushumper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Actually copyrighting or jsut saying "oh, it's mine now". Even if someone DID come out with one first adn took that obvious name, do you have teh finances adn/or energy to fight it? Even though you'd make no money off it? I call BS on you. But either way, i support you and your modding efforts. how many days to go now? 97? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method.man 2 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 i hate to say this but IMHO GTAIV multiplayer sucked i got what achievements i could so i didnt have to play it anymore the only mode i liked was party mode where you have no one but your friends and your free to do whatever you like to be fair though it was there first attempt at online multiplayer and im just hoping they sort it out for the pc version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[W]Hooligan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 IV's multiplayer is superior to SA-MP/MTA in every way. The mods are not even in the same ball park as IV MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVendetta Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 People already can play it on 360 And Ps3 online, im sure it's better than SA-MP, even though i haven't played either Quote of the day right there.... How can you judge something you haven't even tried? Two things especially! SA-MP has a player max of 200 (possibly 500 soon) where GTA 4 has 16 max. SA-MP does have bugs but still can be a lot more entertaining than GTA 4. Nonetheless, GTA 4 for PC is suppose to have a different mutliplayer (expanded as they called it). I'm hoping they take scripting into consideration or something along those lines. And a better lobby system...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
