Grand Theft Auto III Q&As [Apr 22, 2002, 08:44 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
GameSpot's Grand Theft Auto III Q&A
is online chatting with Dan Houser and Leslie Benzies of Rockstar Games about
plans to bring the crime-filled hit PS2 game "back to its PC roots" as
well as its "mature" themes, what's being improved to take advantage
of PC hardware, the game's lack of multiplayer support, controller support, and
more. Meanwhile, there is also a Grand
Theft Auto III Q&A on GameSpy.com also talking with Leslie Benzies, also
discussing PC improvements, controls, and multiplayer, as well as inquiring
about the game's system requirements. If that's not enough for someone, almost unbelievably,
there's also a Grand Theft Auto III
Q&A on PC.IGN.Com talking with (brace yourself) Dan Houser and Leslie
Benzies, covering the exact same topics once more, while also asking about
support for creating your own custom radio stations using your own MP3s and
their projected release date. Each article is accompanied by its own pair of new
screenshots, though the links to the full sized shots on IGN are broken as of
now.
simply by virtue of having DM and CTF, and nothing more, would have been a righteous experienceYou're right. But only for hardcore DM and CTF players. the average player isn't one of those though.
The only reasons they would put multiplayer in would be:
-If it was really really kickass and well made.
-If it would increase sales.
Thing is, unless it meets the former, the latter won't happen. Even though Red Faction MP is fun as hell, it's nothing but DM and CTF tossed into a PS2 port. And I don't see anyone praising it, or it increasing sales.
Putting in multiplayer just for the fans is a great idea in theory, but in practice, you might as well toss money off a building. They do have to spend cash doing that stuff, and if there's no return, it's not intelligent to do.
To think I sold my PS2 copy just because I figured the PC version would have multiplayerThat was rather silly.
Why didn't you just keep the damn thing until the PC version actually came OUT? I mean, I don't remember Rockstar encouraging ANYONE to sell their PS2 copies...
