GTA: Offline?

[Guest]

I've always been thinking about this idea but never got around to sharing it.. but éh, here goes.

Why doesn't GTA V (or O) support offline multiplayer? It could work similar to COD:BO's combat training - let's say you create your own character, your character gets saved onto your hard drive and you level up separately from your online character and your progress, again, gets stored locally on your HDD.

and... where's split screen? There should be a variety of split-screen modes where the 2 (or more) players play against or with each other. Of course.. to keep the game fair, all players should have all content unlocked, obviously your level 120+ character would demolish your new level 1 buddy competitively.

 

It'd be nice playing this game without having to deal with the crappy cloud servers, timeouts, freezes, etc.

What do you think?

I support this. I miss multiplayer from San Andreas, even if it was pretty limited. I would also like to be able to download my existing Online character on to my harddrive, because I don't trust the Cloud servers and I want to keep my Online character for after LIVE for the 360 is cancelled.

What's the point of playing an online multiplayer....offline?

just imagine all the hacking and save editing that would be done...

Console probably can't render that many times...

@Xyn,

Considering the problems GTA:O has.. I think it'd be safe offering the ability to players to enjoy the game without having to sign in and face all the bullsh*t.

Care to elaborate on the hacking part?

Split screen multiplayer is hardly a thing anymore.

 

You can buy some coop games that don't even have a local multiplayer option. It sucks.

[Sw1ft562]

probably cant do that cause of console limitations

 

i would love some local multiplayer tho.

They'll save edit their Online stats if they're kept on the hard-drive. No thanks.

 

And as for split-screen. 360/PS3 cannot render the map multiple times for this to work.

Someone could just create a level 8000 save with everything on it and swap their save data.

 

That's why there were hardly any legit level 50 5th legend players on Red Dead. The save was stored locally, which is a no-no.

And now Red Dead is completely unlocked for everyone. No more Social Club in-game so they can focus more on GTA.

 

Red Dead will now sit untouched.

I see, but I never said anything about online stats being stored locally, they should still be stored in the cloud.

Isn't it already possible to create a level 8000 character (which would get banned in no time) anyways?
