GTA IV (PS3) Dead?

I have been looking for some games for some time and GTA 4 seems dead. I couldn't find any deathmatch games or even team deathmatch. Is there some sort of setting or DLC i should pick?

do you play AA on or off? I really only play freemode aa off, but when I get invited to deathmatch its usually aa on. also time of day affects the numbers of players. Ive actually heard people go and work during the day (suckers).

last night it seemed multiplayer wasnt working for a lot of people, every lobby was empty, and if you were lucky to connect to a game, you got disconnected quickly after devil.gif

I had some problems yesterday getting a game, but on any normal day I can get a decent match no bother. I guess a lot of people are playing online with the expansions, maybe get them and try again if you have no joy with just GTA IV.

I'm on XBox and the lobbies are always full to the brim. There are millions less people playing on PS3 than XBox, so you can expect it to be empty sometimes.

Nope... Forums don't keep a game alive. If anything, it keeps our feelings alive when we feel nostalgic about the game.

 

Go to the real LC you forum whore wink.gif

Fanboyism anyone? lol! yeah, actually more people are playing on the xbox but it's not that much as your saying. There are empty lobbies on the 360 sometimes aswell, and not to mention that noone ever plays Turf War or TeamMafiaWork on xbox anymore, while some people still do on ps3.

hey amigo,

 

need to check to see if GTA is working now? I was kind of glad it seemed everyone was having the same issues or problems as myself

 

By the way I know who most of the EddieLow's were now, been speaking to EddieLow's dog.... LMAO, TheReservoirDog, reminising about the good old days of cops n crooks.....

So that was the problem last night... I was enjoying free mode until it disconnected.

I guess because ps3 have a new sistem update? Or it was just for me?

 

Anyways,gta is becoming dead everyday,for a 3 years old game its lasted long,but not enough to became a world sucess like some other games did or also do nowadays...

Someday i tried joining a game,but the host seemed to preffer to make a sandwich in the moment instead of pressing start button... ok i left game and tried joining another game,but guess what?

 

I ended in the same game with same host and same players,tried several times to join another game but failed at the point that the last try i did,i ended alone in a lobby being the host...

 

f*ck! GTA IS DEAD...

 

While a game like black ops or gran turismo 5 have at least 50000 (or even more) people playing at time... gta have only 20 or less...

Very sad,because it had to be one of the best games in the history if multiplayer were more developed...

Why so pessimist dude, every time there is this subject, you go all sad how it's dead and all.

It's not dead, it's just not as it used to be as there are other games that occupy people attention. A lot of people still play GTA 4 and even SA MP, and it'll stay like that until the next one, and even afterwards, True fans and gaming clans keep the game alive, that's what i meant to say with my post FUGA. Could be that i said it wrong. So in conclusion, there will always be enough people online to play with. I guess with this GTA, you just need luck in finding a good server.

 

Anyway, be more positive man. smile.gif

It isn't dead. The servers are just crap. Sometimes you get randomly disconnected from every room and can't find rooms with player in them for hours, and sometimes, you find room with 6+ Players in it. I've got the same problem in Red Dead Redemption, too.

 

Of course, it's not like 2008 where you couldnt find a room with less than 4 players in it. But it still isn't dead.

Actually, there is millions less people playing PS3 than Xbox.

 

PS3 Sales - 50 million

Xbox 360 Sales - 55 million

You see, I DID get my facts right for once!

It's true what you say about Turf War and Team Mafiya Work, though. And you only get 3-4 people in Bomb Da Base II, even though it's the best mode IMO.

.... Lmfao

 

your quote is irrelevant because we're discussing about GTA IV on this topic, not in general terms. Apart from that, noone was making comparisons between both consoles. Please take your fanboyism somewhere else, you can't tell sh*t since it seems you've never played IV mp on ps3.

 

The only mode I saw being more active on the xbox is Cops n Crooks, which is sad because it's my favourite mode. The regular CnC players on ps3 do the auto-laim style, but that doesn't count lol.

This is the main reason why I say that GTA is kinda dead.

 

Everything else is pretty much the same, Free roam is active in both platforms, TDM xbox users play turbo-rifles in Bohan, ps3 users play turbo-rifles in Colony. Co-op modes are still active asfaik.

So now I come to think that GTA is even more active on ps3. woah rolleyes.gif

Good to see that old players are coming back, they might remember me by pwneranger, one of my old alias. muahah.

Those Eddies got me hooked to CNC disallow standard weapons, loved their style. I need to play 'em soon devil.gif

I hope the ps3 gta4 online isn't dead. Cos my ps3 is (flashing red light of death cryani.gif ) . when i get a new ps3, gta4 is probs the first game i go on, though i never play deathmatch coz at times i find it too easy, and there's hardly anyone on there anyway. So for me it's always race, gta race, bomb da base, hangmans noose and free mode.

I am definitely not a fanboy. I hate fanboys. I would choose a PS3 over Xbox anyday. Also, I have played MP on PS3 lots of times.

I think PS3 MP is getting more popular, as it seems more and more people are playing it now PSN is back on. For a few days, the lobbies have been full for me. Certainly not dead, I hope! sad.gif

I actually played Hangman's NOOSE recently (it's a good match for switching off your brain and sinking into song lyrics) and there was this ambitious young lad who wanted to beat the Fly the Co-op time. Easily, we pulled it off, but then he wanted to try and get the BDBII and Deal Breaker times. By now, having owned this game since its release date, I figured those times (BDBII in particular) were out of reach. I mean, you search for walkthroughs on Youtube and they all encourage you to glitch, which just isn't right.

 

Nonetheless, we tried BDBII and amazingly we got it just in time on the first sitting. I was ecstatic and began a Deal Breaker match. Second sitting, we beat the time and I finally got that trophy. Oh, what a wonderful surprise.

Im hoping it isnt dead. I used to have GTA but I sold it due to my friends never playing and yeah, wasnt as fun on my own. That was years ago and ive made new friends who play games alot so I thought id order GTA the complete edition. DLC looks pretty sweet. So yeah you have yourselves another 4 players online soon smile.gif

PSN has days where games are flooded, but there are days where it is hard to find players.

You may have connection issues,

 

As I'm a proud PSN Gamer and the servers nor the game are dead.
