UPDATE: Grand Theft Auto IV PlayStation 3 Multiplayer Event Friday March 12th (4-7 PM Eastern)

Posted on March 12 2010, 7:00pm | Author: R* Y | Filed Under: Games, Social Club

Update: The event has ended. Thanks to everyone we got a chance to play with today, and check the events page for upcoming Multiplayer Events.

Today, get ready for another explosive evening of Grand Theft Auto IV online action in the Social Club Multiplayer Events series, this time on PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network.  As with all these events, you can watch the live video stream and chat with us at the events page for all Social Club members.

Here’s all the details you need to know for tomorrow’s PS3 event.

SPECTATE AND CHAT
Stuck at work or can't reach a PlayStation 3 during our play time?  No worries.  Come follow all the action at the Social Club Multiplayer Events page with a live streaming broadcast of the entire event.  We'll also have a chatbox up and running on game day for those that want to discuss the action as it unfolds.

Look below for specific directions you can follow to get online, grab a partner, and jump into the fray!

HOW TO FIND US
Grab a multiplayer friend and start up Team Deathmatch via Party Mode using the in-game cellphone.  We're playing doubles again so make sure your team size is two.  By starting up Team Deathmatch from Party Mode, you will be automatically placed in special lobbies together with us and other event participants.  More info on using Party Mode is listed below.

NEED A PARTNER?
Hit up the chatbox during the event or just post your PSN ID in the Comments section below. 

OFFICIAL ROCKSTAR GAMERTAGS
Participating Rockstar PSN IDs for the event will be:

  • RockstarMulti1 
  • RockstarMulti2 
  • RockstarMulti3 
  • RockstarMulti4 

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches.  Here are the 3 quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

  1. Save your current game.  To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad.  Select Multiplayer > Party Mode > Yes.
  2. From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one friend to play with Rockstar). 
  3. Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Games > Team Deathmatch for this event.

Again, please be sure that you enter the lobby in a group of two if you plan to get matched up against us and other players for the event.

          hi

            @Shlomi dead right brother, there were far too many keyboard-tards blocking it up for real people.


            @R* Y If R* could implement a sign up system it would a) help to get rid of random spammer fools b) let you know how many GTA'ers you have to deal with in that paticular session. However I understand ideology is sometimes limited by techological reality, in other words I'm no programmer/developer so the feasabilty aspect is not something I can have any insight on


            Hope to see you both in my sights diving behind a wall soon



            Peace

              yea i agree with the signing up idea it will solve the spamming in the chat too

                @abstractbymark gotcha – we’ll look out for you in the next PSN event – tough to guarantee anyone a play since things move so quickly during the event, but we do our best to get as many as possible. Hopefully see ya then
                • abstractbymarkon March 16 2010, 7:54pmReply
                  My PSN ID is "Green_Hat" and my bro who sat waiting with me is "Migwel13"




                  We are massive fans and felt gutted when the event ended. Hopefully we can play in the future and I'll kick yo asses. All fun aside I do think you should make people sign up in the week before to guarantee a game. I mean you think this is busy wait until the release of TLATD and TBOGT, your servers will melt with happy ps3ers base jumping and what-not

                    @abstractbymark We do try and get as many people in as we can – sorry we didn’t get ya in there on Friday.

                    What’s your PSN ID btw? We’ll definitely make a note of it for the next one and look ya up if you’re online.

                      they don't have favourites they tryed to get everyone to play there was too much people it was a mess

                        How did some people get 5-6 games and others none? That's where any excuses fall down. IF there were 2000 people and only 1000 got to play one game and 1000 got to play none then that shows high demand being a problem. However if 1000 people wait and 500 people get MORE than one game each and 500 get none then it's a swizz. Badly organized tinged with favouritism = we don't care if you sit for three hours for nothing because we are playing with our favourites.

                          @abstractbymark they had like a thousand people in there waiting to play and trust me they did all they could to get everyone to play

                            What an absolute joke the event turned out to be. OVER THREE HOURS me and my pal were ignored by rockstarmulti1 and 2. Seems the same brown nosers got to play over and over again. I still have multi1 pending on my friends list. After 3 hours Socialclub guy on here FINALLY acknowledged me to tell me it was over with a wry sounding sorry. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I was then told rockstar could not cope with the demand! JOKERS

                                  Thanks to everyone for 3+ hours of solid Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 multiplayer. Apologies to anybody we couldn’t get into a game today… we’ll do our best to get you in next time, thanks for hanging with us. Look for a recap of the event next week and keep an eye on out for impromptu play sessions announced via our official Twitter & Facebook pages.
