I am really disappointed that you can't do heists at launch. That was what I was looking forward to the most.

Pintheshadows3863d ago

I can't believe it is only 16 players. Should be 32 considering the size of San Andreas.

DeadIIIRed3863d ago

They haven't ruled out 32 players completely, they just said that it would only be 16 players at launch. I imagine when they get some of the major bugs fixed they'll add a game mode with 32 players along with a map-extension.

Pintheshadows3862d ago

It should of been 32 off the bat. Considering the delay, and i'd defend the singleplayer game to the edges of the earth but the more I hear and see about the MP the more i'm going 'c'mon R*, you're better than this'.

porkChop3863d ago

That would require a ton of power and RAM that the 360/PS3 don't have. Only way they could pull off 32 players is by significantly lowering the graphics in multiplayer, which no one would want.

BlackCarrot3862d ago

I heard somewhere that the technical limit was 32. I'm a layperson but I presume that for best experience, you need to go a fair whack below the technical limit.

Raf1k13862d ago

Could end up being 32 players on the PC version whenever that rolls out. Would make sense as PCs can quite easily handle it so if a PC version is in the works then they'll have most likely tested it.

porkChop3862d ago

32 is the limit for what the engine will allow. So if/when Rockstar releases a PC/next gen version that will support 32 players as the power and RAM is there to do so.

MacTastic3863d ago

I have a feeling it will work much like Burnout did. It was a big map for racing. But when races started you would be asked if you wanted to join. So I hope it's like that so your not missing out on anything.

Devilbringer3863d ago

what is up with all the whineing?

This is going to be Awesome!

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno30d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist37d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist37d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
