News \ GTA MMO “very compelling” says Rockstar boss

Speaking to EGM, Houser has revealed that Rockstar Games, that company behind the incredibly successful GTA series, is tempted by the prospect of making a GTA MMO.

Houser said that a GTA MMO is “very, very doable…(and is a) very, very compelling proposition”.

He then went on to say that a subscription-based MMO on a console is “the Holy Grail”, perhaps referring that the genre is yet to be fully realised on anything but a PC.

Rockstar’s interest might show through the GTA IV multiplayer modes, which are still being kept secret by the company. If that takes off, a GTA MMO may be closer then we think, especially with the very impressive-looking APB coming soon to XBOX 360.

I wonder if that's why they don't want EA to buy them out, a GTAMMO would make them stupidly rich!

Second rate modders already programmed a MASSIVE multiplayer mod for San Andreas, so i reckon Rockstar can pull off a GREAT online system. Im looking forward to it.

Its confirmed for 16 players, i think what they mean is they might extend the amount of players that can play in online games

PLUS, with DLC and software updates this wouldnt realy be too hard

no, it means that it might not be a massive online multiplayer game, where for example there is 20 or so people free roaming liberty city doing what they want (sort of like burnout paradise)
