With such intense graphics and such a large map we would be lucky with 10 person full map freemodes.

GTA IV has a much smaller map and its freemode detail is raped down compared to the singleplayer. For example pedestrians and vehicles don't spawn as a result of location anymore because different people go to different area.

Additionally, it is much easier to make areas like Algonquin than areas like areas like Vice Beach because they have to detail roads and beaches while they can just blur apt. complexes because of the consistency.

Even though large fields sound boring look at sky scrapers, even when they are accessible they are extremely consistent.

Also, look at how they are broadcasting the Fallout 3 like encounters in SP. Do you actually think they will make an appearance on MP?

Either way like 60% of online fun will be up to the players.

PS R* - Police RPGing is always fun.

@Rockstargames

Surprised you decided to let Gamespot put up your new video before you posted it here. Either way, it's very good and tells me that there's some depth to this game (a.k.a. the storyline).

Plus I am very impressed with your attention to detail. The American flag has the proper number of stars on it. I got excited when I saw it, hoping to catch you in a mistake. Bravo!

@everyone who doesn't know what freemode was

freemode was a multiplayer mode in Gta where there is no objective to it, no points, you pretty much do whatever you wanted to do, and in my opinion was the best multiplayer mode in GtaIV

@waysideflunky
I agree, you should be able to have up to (about) 7 people or less? And I still want a pet wolf for attacking enemys (Like in Dead to Rights) that'd would be cool...

WISH LIST!!!!!!!!!! i think the game NEEDS multiplayer online/co-op... heres why... no game yet has allowed for it. seriously whats the point of a game like saints row when yer "gang" consists of you and one friend. (1s better than none tho) but i wouldnt call that a gang... the wild west was about outlaws, not an outlaw. not to mention how fun it would be for a 4 man posse (at least) of you and yer friends going thru the game together robbin trains and hunting down grizzlies. like i said previously it was butch cassidy & the sundance kid, not just butch... & it was the james-younger gang, not just frank & jesse. game looks amazing tho and keep up the great work R*!!!!

Nope i normally don't use it. beta spoken eng :]

@Mathof
I know it's not likely, I'm just hoping for it anyways.



P.S. Is your primary language english?

I think there won't be co-op an mulitplayer/campaign and u ask why??
Cuz R* wants make outstanding game not next Saint Rows on wild west.
and even look at game title Redemption, this is Redeption for Red Dead Revolver Bloopers
but multiplayer co-op could be fun.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up... I'm hoping for split screen everything, online multiplayer/campaign.
This game is shaping up to be amazing.

@hobojoe39

This is Sandbox game!!
not like Red dead revolver where u got only levels and level changes after mission.
Red Dead redemption is free roaming games u can do missions or ride on whole map.
basically u do what u want to do.

There will be no demo cuz modern version of GTA never had and R* don't wanna share before release

I think what he means is having the freedom to do whatever you want around the map after the story missions are over.

The structure of GTA is you travel to a location on the map, do a mission that usually involves driving somewhere and killing someone, and then do it all over again to advance the story.

After the missions are done you have the entire map to drive around on. There usually isn't much to do after the story. San Andreas had some gambling in Las Venturas and there might have been some races to do. GTA IV wasn't much better with most of the side-missions not being repeatable and leaving little to do after you completed the missions. Gay Tony is a bit better with some side-missions that can continue after you complete the important part, but they're very repetitive. The multi-vehicle races are probably the best part about Gay Tony, but there's only three of them that run the same route each time you do them.

Redemption seems to be bringing more to the table as well as adding some quality non-story content to the wilds of the American west. I just hope the farmer-needs-help-to-find-daughter missions aren't all the same structure. I'm waiting for someone to develop an A.I. that comes up with original missions on the fly. Obviously you're limited on what audio was recorded in the studio, but surely there are more than 3-4 ways to do something.

I don't know if I answered your question but that's basically it. "Free mode" is literally the ability to wonder around the map and do whatever you want (in this case steal horses, chase down bandits for a bounty, find the farmer's daughter... etc.)

@hobojoe39
Free mode? Would you please explain, I never played GTA (My mom heard you play as a criminal stealing cars and it was a insta no) I'm guessing "Free Mode" is a mode where it just adds two playable charecters to the story missions... Like Co-op throughout the campaign/main game.

hey if there is a free mode( like GTAIV) you should let us be able to do all the fun things that you can do in single player

Is there any word on when a playable demo is coming out?

I agree completely! Plus if you added something like this it would allow players to pick and choose which way they want to go about accomplishing the mission and it would add a new element to multiplayer.

@hokkster
Yeah, I'd love to see a bow for silent kills! Maybe an outfit that give you invisibility that rechanrges like Dead Eye.

Awsome!

@Marrston

On Twitter, R* said there would be a new video this coming week.

terrific!
