Xboxworld.nl pinned up some alleged screens of Grand Theft Auto 4 multiplayer today, before the powers that be ripped 'em right down. Thing is, the ol' kibosh just ain't what it used to be, and sure enough, the images have resurfaced all over the place. Couple these glimpses with rumor of 15 multiplayer modes and 16-player support, and, um, wow ... who even needs those DLC episodes?

It would be so easy to photoshop names and dots over a characters head.... I doubt this is real.

ran ran leche flan: Mar 25th 2008; 7:34PM

whew - was worried it wouldn't have dudes

ApolloIV: Mar 25th 2008; 7:37PM

Or guns. I'm glad joystiq got this off my shoulders.

hey_big_dck: Mar 25th 2008; 8:19PM

oh oh or vehicles! btw flan = good

rv: Mar 25th 2008; 8:20PM

hookers not confirmed yet= me sad

also, screens taken down :(

WiiSports Machine=FAD PSN: Killjebus: Mar 25th 2008; 8:27PM

Can you be a hooker? Think of it...one could put Velvet Jones's "How to be a hoe" to good use. "Never leaves the comfort of yo own bedroom. You dont even have to sit up."

Benny: Mar 25th 2008; 8:52PM

Haha, you like dudes!

hey_big_dck: Mar 25th 2008; 8:57PM

these screens bring up a very important question do you edit your online character cause i dont see 16 russians? also gta = happy

Cal: Mar 26th 2008; 12:53PM

Don't worry rv, there's some very whorey types in one of the screenshots I saw yesterday

How long will it take for Fox "news" to come up with some outlandish BS on how this game will make more murderers?

Rockstar does not even have to advertise this game. Gamers and non/casual gamers love this game...and the JackNaziThompsons will give it FREE ADVERTISING with their lies and propaganda.
Too bad Sony and Microsoft cant bring cross-console online gaming to fruition....boy, that would make for some intense heated battles.

So, where is the WiiSports Machine version with superior "motion" controls Fernandos?

Here's my analysis of your thought processes in posting that:

Joystiq: "GTA has multiplayer screens revealed"

-> GTA is a videogame

-> GTA is made by Rockstar

-> Jack Thompson hates Rockstar

-> I hate the Wii

-> Fernando likes the Wii

-> Post unrelated comment about Wii + Fernando

And I don't know if you're supposed to be typing in Engrish because of your avatar, but for God's sake, his name is FERNANDO, NOT FERNANDOS - there is only one of him.

Troll much? A much too much.

WiiSports Machine=FAD PSN: Killjebus: Mar 25th 2008; 8:21PM

Fernandos = Fernando, Samfish, and Crono...Fernandos

WiiSports Machine=FAD PSN: Killjebus: Mar 25th 2008; 8:24PM

"-> Fernando likes the Wii"
Likes the Wii?
Listen here Nuttchugger...Fernandos would pick the corn out of Reggies shit if asked to do so. No, I take that back...HE WOULD DEMAND IT.

bm: Mar 25th 2008; 8:35PM

LOL

You managed to drag your Wii fetish into THIS thread? Obsession much? I'm sorry you couldn't get one at launch, dude, but it happens.

It scares me that a trolling mentally misfigured geek like this actually has a kid. They should take the little guy away for his own good. Hell, it's not like Ken has any time to raise it with the hours he spends chasing after his beloved Fernando and Wii on this website.

Benny: Mar 25th 2008; 8:50PM

I have a theory that Killjebus is Fernando in disguise, and he just likes drumming up an argument with himself. For exposure and stuff, y'know?

WiiSports Machine=FAD PSN: Killjebus: Mar 25th 2008; 9:00PM

Benny, I like that theory, I like it alot.
I am Fernandos...Fernandos I am.

WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus: Mar 25th 2008; 9:04PM

It does not matter if this is fake or not. More than likely....MP GTA4 will kick some major pimpled backside.

bm: Mar 27th 2008; 6:34AM

No, he's another Wii lover like Fernandos (LOL lookit me ir clever) except he expresses it differently. He's not him. ;)

ApolloIV: Mar 25th 2008; 7:36PM

So now that Brawl's out...who wants to get this game it's own section in Joystiq...

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Mar 26th 2008; 8:17AM

hey i'd second that. the Brawl section was top notch. a game like this should get the same treatment

sifer2400: Mar 25th 2008; 7:39PM

looks sweetttt!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

mike: Mar 25th 2008; 7:48PM

*continues to wait for first screenshot of somebody actually PLAYING the game with the hud and everything to be released*

Mike: Mar 25th 2008; 7:52PM

Why? You need something else to complain about?

Benny: Mar 25th 2008; 9:05PM

This is just a hunch, but I think it might play similarly to the last three.

mike: Mar 26th 2008; 4:27AM

Thats a bold statement benny. This game is running off an entirely new engine. Its a completely new game in the franchise. GTA 3, 3.1 amd 3.2 should be very different from this one.

Im hoping this one plays alot more like saints row. Since there is no demo, gonna need to wait for an extensive ammount of videos to judge if its worth a purchase or not, and so far, not a single video of sombody playing the game has been released. I wonder what their trying to hide?

playwhutyalike (finally bought Halo 3): Mar 25th 2008; 7:51PM

Blown load. Check.

The Artist formally known as Jesus: Mar 25th 2008; 8:06PM

Tissues: no check

playwhutyalike (finally bought Halo 3): Mar 25th 2008; 8:15PM

Wipe on shirt. Check

Zeus.:God: Mar 25th 2008; 9:46PM

Wearing said shirt. Check...

Mike: Mar 26th 2008; 11:12AM

Bukkake'd your mom: check.

Deck: Mar 25th 2008; 8:00PM

If those are real...sweetness! This is gonna just kick major ass!

x silence x: Mar 25th 2008; 8:23PM

Take a close look at those player indicators...

You can see that they are cropped.

FAIL!

James: Mar 25th 2008; 10:26PM

chacho89: Mar 25th 2008; 10:44PM

chacho89: Mar 25th 2008; 10:44PM

YEah DUdes and guns, I cant wait..

Digg: Mar 25th 2008; 11:04PM

I'll take the extra downloadable content to drive all the extra cars, helicopters, boats, and shoot the extra weapons, and kill the extra dudes! It'll be pretty damn amazing.

I so can't wait for this game.

PointyThings: Mar 25th 2008; 11:36PM

This is pretty much the coolest thing ever.

I got the May issue of GamePro and there is a whole feature on the MP of GTA4. All those green check marks do no lie.
