I'll make no effort to hide my excitement towards the upcoming open-world adventure GTAV. I was a huge fan of GTA IV'smore focused narrative , but the lack of anything else to occupy your time left me wanting. Thankfully, Rockstar seems committed to addressing those concerns and giving us the GTA that fans want while retaining the complex narrative that made the fourth installment so compelling. After today's multiplayer trailer, my anticipation has hit the fucking roof.
The multiplayer portion of GTAIV is called GTA Online. The trailer shows off the expected assortment of explosions and gang related violence, but the overall theme seems to be “Everything Together.” Rob banks together, play tennis together, scuba dive together, whatever you can think of together.
The other bit that I love is the ability to create your own story. Progression is measured by what you want to do, not what the developers want you to do. Buy an apartment for your buds to hang out at. Buy a car lot and fill it with personalized vehicles. Base jump with all 16 other players. It's all up to you.
By separating the multiplayer portion from the single-player, Rockstar will also be able to give players new content on the fly. Hopefully, like GTA IV, the question of content will be non existent. It'll be nice to have something to enjoy while waiting for the Xbox One and PS4 to iron their wrinkles.
