Console players are enjoying an online multiplayer spike on Rockstar titles recently. Following last weekend’s Red Dead Redemption triple XP and with new Rockstar social events on the horizon, many awaiting GTA V have brushed the dust from older games to submerse into Rockstar’s open worlds.
After a few hours taking advantage of this, I began to ponder about Grand Theft Auto V and what we’ll all be doing in the next world it gives us. We know that the game will take place in Los Santos and the surrounding countryside, and is said to be bigger than RDR, GTA IV and San Andreas combined.
Now this is huge but this is including interiors too, meaning the square footage of every room, tunnel, bridge, and the subway is included in that, as well as the sea bed. That said, this still promises to be a masive sandbox to bask in both single player and online. So, with knowledge on the playground – what will keep players occupied? What will GTA’s new multiplayer be like, and what can we hope for?
5. Co-op
Dan Houser confirmed that despite the revolutionary switching of protagonists within the story, campaign co-operative play will not feature. So, I’m sorry to start on a downer! Though we’ll have to handle Michael, Trevor and Franklin alone, those who seek co-op play have been told that Rockstar will ‘fulfil those desires’ in multiplayer.
You can also bet your house on there being a compelling free roam option with team death-matches thrown in. Apart from these certainties there isn’t much else to go on; GTA IV had a selection of co-op missions inspired by the narrative, as did RDR, so it seems likely that there will be more of these, likely centred on robbery.

Even though I don’t like online gaming, I did try GTA’s and it was okay.
I could see a zombie dlc like Red Dead Redemption. Id buy it anyway. Just hope it would have a decent story to it like Undead Nightmare.
Id like to see 2 players play on 1 console. Or 4. I hate having friends round and taking turns on playing cod or something else, youve got ports for 4 controllers use them
Really looking forward to what the multiplayer has to offer.
I hope that it’s not gone the way of XP leveling up though. I’ve got a day job, so I always end up getting ‘owned’ by the unemployed wasters that spend their life online.
GTA4 was (nearly) perfect. No matter how much you play the game, you are always on a level with your opponents. The true destinction between players was skill (as well as the odd bit of cheating).
Bigger guns and perks for devoting your life to a game just discourages casual and new players.
After reading so many articles on here, I have to say this website contradicts itself on a daily basis. I do realize there are different authors to different opinions, but damn, really? Almost every article complains about how online isn’t needed in a game, how co-op detracts from games, and how zombies are just too much. Then here we are with an article that wants all of that packed into one game. I really don’t see what the hard-on for GTA is all about. It’s overrated in my opinion. Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs have now changed that landscape for me. They are two games that actually do something different with the open world concept, and they also embrace how unrealistic and fun games should be. The realism of GTA is just a bore these days.
why is it that every time i come onto one of these sites to hear everyones opinion there’s always someone like you that has to be having a winge like little bitch.
why don’t you go winge to your momma and spear us.
Who are you to say realistic open world games are “boring” don’t compare 2 newer open world games with a 5 year old open world game,..and by the way, saint row was fun for about 2 weeks, then it was boring and same tipping over and over, where as people STILL play GTA IV and red dead redemption online….honestly I think it’s your opinion that’s boring… Wait till GTA V comes out..and then see how it stacks up against saints row and sleeping dogs…they will look absolutely miserable in comparison , GTA v has been named most anticipated games of 2013, a saints row game will never gain that kind of anticipation , ever

Your boring!!!!
Am I the only guy who doesnt enjoy zombies? I ONLY like Black Ops 2 zombies, but other then that zombies are soo boring in any other game. I hate to say this cause I hate CoD bit they do the zombies right. Please no zombies.
Left 4 Dead?
That’s THE zombie game.
Whose boring?
Zombie mode in GTA 5 would be really cool, didn´t even thought about it!
the car customisation would be brilliant online aswell as single player, much needed fun from what gta 4 had. the zombie mode YESSS that would be amazing endless fun.
And let’s not forget servers instead of the stupid host system max Payne 3 uses and many ps3 player can’t use cause it sucks. Servers are the way to go r*
Zombie mode would be sick!
