Liberty City Survivor!!! Now all I need to to buy my friends PSPs.

*faints*

That is making me drool, I hope someone else in my town is getting a PSP with LCS for X-Mas then I can thrash them in multiplayer .

But 7 multi-player modes!?

*faints again*

This game definitely will blow us away.

It's a good thing that Rockstar developed their own engine. This is just a taste of what's coming in the future with GTA4.

so how will u be able to play multiplayer? do u have to get a group of people in the same room and it only works at that range? could u play with someone who lives across town? the answers to these questions will decide whether i bite the bullet and buy a psp along with LCS. any explanation of multiplayer would be appreciated. 'my honor demands it.'

The review said that the multiplayer works Ad Hoc, which means that all players must be within WiFi range, which is, I believe, arround 100 feet. Less if the walls interfere. So if not within the same room, you'd have to be in the same building for this to work. There might be a way to simulate Ad Hoc WiFi via Internet using a wireless router. In terms of technology, I do not see what would prevent that, but I am not sure if appropriate software exists.

This is really great news. I only know one other person who'll be getting LCS at this time, but even with 2 players this promisses to be fun.

Ye this multiplayer news does sound great, i'm just wondering what the other mmultiplayer modes are that haven't been released??

[K^2]

I'd guess that there is something similar to vigilante missions. One team is trying to catch the other. Also, races would be nice.

[FunkyChunky]

Liberty city survivor sounds f*cking brilliant.

Multiplayer support. Hellz Yeah! When I first saw this posted on IGN, I was like "oh my God!". This is going to be great, now I just have to find people to play the game with.

that would be mr problem as well, i live close to a major town tho, so im hoping i get lucky

[cpt.pinguin]

about that multiplayer, how can you talk while playing? double triangle combo or something? and how would you type your message, no it doesn't sound that great, if there is a multiplayer it should be on PC!

do i have a mod helping me with edits for my bad english or something? it looks like it sometimes,

if you play with a cable or something yeh, but really online? cant be possible?

[Sprunk Addict]

Talking's really unessessary. It's all carnage, all you'd say is "DIE DIE DIE!"

So we have 7 multiplayer modes. So far we know 3 of them.

Liberty City Survivor
Protection Racket
Steal the Stretch (from the 1UP preview)

I think racing is a must. Rockstar would be foolish not to include it in multiplayer.

Hopefully Internet play is possible. I can't wait to tear you bitches up.

[trooper]

is it online play or only psp 2 psp connect, hopefully it's internet

[Sprunk Addict]

That remains to be seen. So far, only PSP to PSP have been confirmed.
