Grand Theft Auto 4 - No split-screen multiplayer

Submitted by Rory on April 19, 2008 - 12:12pm.

Grand Theft Auto 4Among all the GTA 4 multiplayer revelations, many people are speculating on whether it will also feature an offline split-screen mode. Accoring to Stephen Totilo of the MTV Multiplayer blog, the answer is no. He says he learned of this from Rockstar Games itself as he played a Devkit version of the game via a local network in the developer's New York City office. There's no official reason why, but Stephen goes on to speculate that it could be because of technical limitations. It's possible that GTA IV is just too much to handle via split-screen. He does point out that this is probably not that big of a deal anymore, because we now have online multiplayer.

Just a reminder, Grand Theft Auto 4 has gone gold, and will be coming out on April 29.

Always ends up like this.
people, just buy the console wich fits your style of gaming...
instead of complaining about a console you dont like, its simple: DONT BUY IT THEN.
buy the one YOU want and stop hating.

I personaly prefer the 360 above the ps3, but that doesnt mean i hate the ps3, in fact, i got a ps2 and stil my old ps1, and il buy a ps3 soon.

SAY NO TO CONSOLE WARS.

WTF. I OWN ALL THREE NEW SYSTEMS(PS3, XBOX 360, AND WII). I SAY THE PS3 IS THE BEST BECAUSE ITS ONLINE IS FREE. I HAVE MASS EFFECT, HALO 3, AND GEARS OF WAR, FOR THE 360 AND THEY ALL SUCK .I HAVE ONLINE FOR THE F360 AND IT SUCKS, EVERY1 IS AN ASS ON IT. I HAVE 15 BUDDIES ON THE 360 NONE FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE, I HAVE 37 FRIENDS ON PS3 AND I TALK TO THEM ALL THE TIME NONE REAL LIFE FRIENDS. THE ONLY THING I LIKE ABOUT THE 360 IS THE MUSIC WHILE PLAYING GAMES. NOW THE PS3 IT HAS FLAWS ALSO AS THE UPDATES THEY DON'T ALWAYS WORK RIGHT AWAY AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT LIKE A DAY OR 2, TO PLAY ONLINE. GTA4 SHOULD MAKE AN UPDATE FOR SPLIT SCREEN ONLINE THAT WOULD BE MORE FUN THAN ANYTHING. I MEAN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TO PLAY WITH A BUDDY ONLINE ON THE SAME SCREEN. THE WII JUST FUCKING SUCKS I FUCKING HATE THAT FUCKING THING ITS A FUCKING WASTE OF MONEY. SUPER SMASH BROTHERS BRAWL SUCKS BIG JUICY BALLS.

this game would be alot better if it had split screen multiplayer

Anonymous (not verified) | June 10, 2008 - 9:00am

this whole "the hardware can't support split screen" idea is bullshit. It's not like we're doubling the scope of the game, we're just adding another player, another camera, and another physics-enabled rag-doll when his ass gets hit by a helicopter blade. It's not like it doesn't matter because of online play, some of our friends don't have $300 to blow on a 360, $60 to blow on a game, and another $15 a month for live. In fact, the ridiculous price is probably why they don't allow split screen, forcing us to spend $240 to play multiplayer instead of the $60 dollars it would require otherwise. I wouldn't even be complaining all that much if the physics engine wasn't shit and the game looks like there's a used coffee filter on the camera lens.

Anonymous (not verified) | June 8, 2008 - 7:34am

I've played a lot of games that are split screen so the dumbass people at rockstar have no fucking excuse for not having the feature. This game sucks shit me and my friend were so bored cause we though that there would be at least SOME kind of multiplayer like in san andreas. Then we wouldn't be complaining about how they should have taken more time developing the game.

Anonymous (not verified) | May 4, 2009 - 8:25pm

You're a dumbass. GTAIV is the flagship starter for the new physics engine, graphics engine, etc. They leave room on which to expand, the same way they expanded on 3 with san andreas and vice city. You can be damn sure GTA will keep getting better.

BTW everyone that says the physics engine sucks, you suck. It's raw. AND the visuals are sick. Everything about the game is gnar.
"WAHHH they don't have split screen multiplayer!!" tell your friend to get a fucking job, then you can party up.

GTA 4 would have been a lot more fun if it had split-screen, whats more fun than driving around with a buddy running from the cops and doing hits for your buddies. and it rocks on the 360 bitches!!!!

Playstation Magazine -Jeffy (not verified) | May 12, 2008 - 5:42am

I had purchased a 360 Elite and I was trilled as ****, It was great testing out Mass Effect and those other 360 only games but after 2 weeks of owning this brand new system (cleaned and
taken care of) It fucked on me one dumb ring of red light) I was pissed!! I sent it to Microsoft for repairs an guess what? THEY COULDNT FIX IT SO THEY GAVE ME A NEW CONSOLE WTF?? SO wait after paying 300 having 2 weeks go by and then it getting messed up an on top of waiting 1 month for it to return to me, you cant fix it?? Shit Micro you guys suck.

Now I was done with the xbox i packaged it back up an took it to a game shop got a ps3. I know 360 gots some hot features like listening to music as you play and stuff. But...damn free online thats one point in my book! ANd wait better graphics?? I checked that rumor out and it was true on an HD TV the particles are out of this world guys. Not one error on my machine runs smoothly Im so impressed, YET I wont say its better then a 360 cause there both great, they got there ons and offs. I say alot of you who lean to one and hate the other to just get both (when you can) cause some games are just for those consoles. Halo=360 Finalfantasy13=ps3 and so on btw I know what im saying aint organized but I hope you can get some fragment of where im getting at. Ignore spelling errors Im in a rush atm
