Grand Theft Auto Online

i was just playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City and I thought it would make a fantastic MMO game !

All those random people in the city could be real players; stealing cars, shooting each other, buying buildings, setting up business, forming aliances and creating safe zone area's that can be defended or invaded.
Could add many other aspects such as crafting, gangs, cops, criminals and so on.
NPC could be police force trying to keep the peace and maybe players could become a deputy and help enforce the law or whatever.
Lots of room for ideas and the world and game engine are already there. All they need to do is make it bigger and program MMO parts.

    They already have a multiplayer mod for VC, but when I tried it, there was a lot of lag, probably because the game just wasn't designed for more than one person to play it. I think you'd have to do a ton of coding to get more than just the basic "shoot each other and drive vehicles around".

    Sure thing, let's ask them to make a online game where people are too stupid to go out their and kill as many cops as they can and cause video games to freakin get banned and jack thompson doing this and that.

    How about..... no!

    I think this is a great idea, but maybe not as over-the-top as Grand Theft Auto. It would be interesting to see an MMO which focuses on organised crime in fully developed cities. Gangs would be player driven, obviously, and would the "guilds" of the world. They could fight for turf, trade various kinds of contraband, maybe even set up their own clubs, chopshops, safehouses, etc. Expantions could introduce new cities for the gangs to fight over, so eventually the game would be a network of cities housing a host criminal organisations, from lowly street gangs to full blown drug syndicates. Imagine that in this world you could even be sentenced to a prison term, and would have to spend whatever number of days (simulating months or years) in a prison instance along with other players...
    If executed properly, the game would be a huge success. I'm sure someday some developer will try out such a project....lets just hope they don't fuck it up when they do.

    Uh, no, APB is not what I had in mind.

    edit: Though I'll admit I'm interested to see what this title has to offer.

    double edit: After doing some more research, it seems that APB is the game I've been waiting for. Joy! 
    PC release Q1 2007. I'm hyped.

    Not into playing cops and robbers huh? Too bad, I was just going to ask you if you want to start a gang with me for this game, lol.

    Sure i'd like GTA online as much as everyone here, but lets get real. No one would really want to play it. I mean, each time you respawn you won't last 5 secs before a car drives over you or you get sniped in the head. What would be the point of the game? Create character, press start, load, die....

    You're assuming that we're talking about GTA as it is, only multi-player. Why's that?
    Anyhow, checkout APB, it looks really cool.

    Cause a roleplaying GTA is just stupid? And if you can't kill people when you want where you want, than it is not GTA

    APB is a game of the creator of GTA and ofcourse Crackdown. Sooo many topics already about GTA Online, just follow APB.

    Are you guys actually looking forward to this game?

    I mean lets get real. Even the games that alot of us were looking forward to turned out to be complete piles of crap. This game looked like crap from the first day someone posted anything about it on here. The whole idea is crap.

    The very root of the idea for the game is good. But, then again a Matrix Online was the same way. Not to mention Auto Assault and Roma Victor.
    Did any-single-one of those games put their good ideas to good usage? F' no. Did anyone of those games even live up to what they said would be in the games? F' no.
    You would have to be a moron to think this game would be any better. It looks like a total pile of junk to me and has since day one.

    Unwarrented hostility and blind lashing out for the win. You're cool.

    Do you always have to be such a damn pesimist?
    Yes, I'm looking forward to the game. Is it going to suck? Possibly. But I'd like to think that I've preserved enough of my youthful enthusiasm to allow myself a little hope for the awesome product it could potentialy turn out to be.
