Bullit1990 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It's definitely going to be a maximum of 16 players guys. Sorry, but considering how huge the world is and how much stuff you'll be able to do i think even at 16 players they're working on some thin ice as the consoles really don't have much memory and such. There was 16 players in the end clip, and "GTAVDev19" etc doesn't mean anything as like others have already stated they have multiple accounts for testing. If the limit is higher than 16 then SURELY we would have seen alot of more players. It's a trailer ment to promote the game. They want to make it look as awesome as possible. They wouldn't ever hold back. Dude, look: 1 GTAVdev14 2 GTAdev4 3 GTAVdev1 4 GTAVdev7 5 GTAVdev5 6 GTAVdev18 7 GtAVdev19 8 GTAVdev10 9 GTAVdev2 10 GTAdev3 11 GTAdev15 12 GTAdev9 13 GTAVdev12 14 GTAVdev8 15 GTAdev11 16 GTAdev15 17 Player I noted everyone down that was there. You said 15 twice. I also only counted 16 including the player. AH crap, well guess that does make it 16 then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNextGTAprotag Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 cannot be bothered reading through 5 pages so, apologies if this was picked up on already the map shown in the GTA V online portion shows many 'activity' blips. I can make out parachuting/ base jumping and racing but it appears as though there are a few others again, sorry if this has been seen already, thought it looks cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Looks f*cking amazing. Only downside is that I counted 16 people. I really hope it's 24 minimum. why would gtavdev19 be there if it was only 16 people? Why does it necessarily have to be developers 1 thru 19 playing the game? Many others have claimed to have counted a total of 17 players dev 4 dev 14 dev 7 dev 1 dev 18 dev 5 dev 10 dev 2 dev 15 dev 3 dev 12 dev 9 dev 8 dev 11 dev 15 penthouse guy thats 16 tell me which developer you didn't see outside of those #s and you got me It took 4 whole pages of people claiming the amount of players they saw, for a person to come up with a list? Nice work, man. And yeah, pretty obvious that the Devaccount with the highest number assigned to it, is not a measurement for the maximum players in a game.

PHOENIXZERO Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm still hoping they've expanded the 16 player limit just because such a huge area is going to feel pretty dead in terms of players with the game the size it apparently is. At the very least I'd be nice if when a player goes to start certain activities a message comes up for you to join them kinda like RDR with with the option to warp there without having to be in a posse/gang with that player.

ScottishHeist123 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It doesn't matter that you guys spotted someone named GTADev19. There was only 16 players in sight. Anyone can name themselves anything over LAN/PSN/XBL. I want to be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong. But without dedicated servers announced and Peer2Peer being the main source of online console gaming, 16 is about the highest that's probably going to be possible for a game of this size. Count again, mate. There were 17 players including the one in third person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachs Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Never touch multiplayer in anything (99.9% of my games are pirated, so multiplayer isn't even an option), and never plan to, but I just hope they focus on single player enough and don't go to what every other game is nowadays which is 95% multiplayer, 5% single player. I do know that single player is going to be huge, so I shouldn't need to worry. All I need now is to wait for the PC version to finally play the game (which I am buying). Also, don't expect multiplayer to be that smooth. That was done in their offices, most likely through LAN. I hope a PC version never comes out, purely because I dont like your c*ntish behavior. Too late brother http://www.gamespot.com/news/rockstar-hiri...s-to-pc-6411194 Maybe next time. What an idiot. Does this confirm anything? It's just pure speculation dumbass.

KrushLTx10 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I think GTAVDev19 and GTAVDev18 show that there has to be more than 16 players. They'd probably load as many people into the game as possible to test the online to see if it's working properly. I can see 24 players being the max. 20 minimum.

22ka Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm sorry but I just can't see 16 players again for this game. R* have come way too far to leave it there now besides they said its going to be revolutionary and ambitious. In that case I fully expect a minimum of 24 players. Infact considering that this map is 4x bigger than LC in IV, there should be a total of 64 people to avoid those quiet boring moments that R* doesn't want in their game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I understand that but, we can't really assume there are 19+ players in the game. I really hope there are more than 16 but you never know.

So you think they'd just skip around like GTADev19 when there's no 17 or 18? No. It's organized. GTADev1 through GTADev19. It goes in order so it doesn't get confusing. The way they test multiplayer is fill up all the slots. To make it easier they make sure all the players are in order. It's logical. Why would they skip around numbers when they're improving it/testing the multiplayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT_P1989 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 MAG the first person shooter for PS3 had 256 players online, though not a huge open world game, 256 players is HUGE. So yes, consoles can do huge numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, consoles can do huge numbers. They can if the servers are dedicated. Surely not 256 players but maybe around 64. Only part I'm worried about is when all players meet up in a single place and start blowing sh*t up. That's when the framerate goes in the sh*tter and your PS3/360 could end up blowing up. Never know, R* could have optimized the game to handle it. I'm going on a limb to say we'll have at least 32 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sum my earlier post quick up to you: - lets say 25 developers, named ingame gtadev1 - gtadev25 - 16 player maximum ingame --> several developers are busy because of other work to do (in this case no. 5 and 13) ---> number 18 and 19 play instead ===> the list is not chronological Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
