Looks like we might get a real look at GTA 4’s multiplayer tomorrow (April 8th, 2008). I’m not gonna hold my breath, though. Why? Because the actual game will be released in just 21 days!
Update: Here’s a summary of the GTA 4 multiplayer:
Up to 16 people can join a game
The full game runs in multiplayer (you can do everything)
You can mod/make your character’s look (no one gets to be Niko)
You collect cash for completing tasks and stealing it from other players - this is how you level up and win Team Death Match
The host can control traffic density, weather, time of day, and radio stations available
Modes: Team Deathmatch, GTA Race, Cops N Crooks, and Hangman’s NOOSE
You can ride and shoot while a partner drive (finally!)
Check it: Quake 3 on the iPhone and iPod Touch. It looks excessively boring since you control strafing via the accelerometer and firing by just tapping the screen. I wouldn’t waste my time, but for the iPhone mod show off…
Xbox asks: “What’s popping up this spring?”, in an email to Xbox live customers today? Featured are the upcoming Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet, the Xbox Live Board Game, Xbox 360 Vintage Edition, and Xbox 360 Recon Edition. Any true gamer knows that the Wireless Helmet with Airflow temperature control, 5.1 digital surround sound, temple pressure rumble setting, and the ever desirable Flex-Plasma In-sight Display is the must have product of 2008. Or is it? Ya, it’s Microsoft getting all cavalier with an April’s Fools email. Bastards. I would’ve really liked a wireless helmet that jostled my brain around. Runner up: Xbox 360 Recon Edition - it sports a ‘low-energy 1TB HDD’ and ‘built-in passive sonar with a weather-proof shell’. Nice.
According to an email I just received from Xbox live, one could infer that Rockstar/Take-Two is planning to release new mulitplayer campaigns for Grand Theft Auto 4 come Fall 2008. Take a look at the above and make your own assumptions.
Check it: Grand Theft Auto 4 multiplayer screen shots (not confirmed). I’ve pulled the ones that depict characters with screen names hovering over their head (there were others, but those looked to be single player).
Although this probably won’t provide the same level of entertainment, it might shut up the nagging kids you manifested one drunken night(s). The Air Hover Football puts all the air in the puck and turns any flat surface into an Airhockey table. They’ve also managed to rebrand the game towards the soccer crazy English and remove any instance of ‘hockey’.
The GX-10 Gaming Camera is a fair bit cheaper than the Wii, so expect novel, short term entertainment from this toy. How’s it work? You shoot a pic of yourself and the included software inserts you into 1 of the 3 games of your choosing. To play, simply motion where to shoot and the GX-10 does the rest.
