The latest issue of PSM Spain has a new article on Grand Theft Auto IV, with 20 new screenshots and the first details on GTA IV's multiplayer system. Here is a list of the new information, which is being updated constantly:

"15 multiplayer modes, online supports 16 players, Your online character is fully customizable. You can alter his race, sex, hair, clothing etc"

# Hangmans Noose
# Car Jack City
# Bomb da Base
# Bomb da Base II
# Mafia Work
# Team Mafia Work
# Deathmatch
# Team Deathmatch
# Turf War
# Cops N Crooks
# Race
# GTA Race
# Deal Breaker
# Free Mode
# Car Jack City

The fact that Car Jack City is listed twice makes me doubt the legitimacy of this :rolleyes:

# In Race and GTA Race, the host gets to decide which vehicles are involved, and the number of laps to be played. You can shoot and throw molotovs from the window, and even steal your rivals' car.

# In Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, the host gets to decide whether the police can intervene or not. The host also gets to decide the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, and the type of weapons.

# In Cops n Crooks, one team play as cops and the other play as criminals. The cops must stop the criminals from escaping. They can monitor the locations of the criminals on their GPS systems, while the criminals have no idea where the cops are.

# In Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work, you play as one of Kenny Petrovic's mafia henchmen. You must complete hits ordered by the boss (via the cellphone) before your rivals are able to do so.

# A single-player mission called "Hangman's NOOSE" features co-op. You and your friends will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursused by a SWAT team.

# The map used in multiplayer is the same map that is used for single player.

Even if this is real, It sounds a bit rubbish to me really. The multiplayer mods for San Andreas have pretty much got all of this already and plenty more, One can only assume that there will be a healthy selection of great mods for IV pretty quick after its released on the pc.

16 on the xbox, equals what? 32 or 64 on the PC? :cool:

probably 32, but then modders will come and make the thing some sort of MMO... but the only problem there is that the game won't be out on PC for a while

Indeed this is true you can get 100 players on SA-MP these days.

Not interested in MP tbh, not one of the selling points for me.
