Grand Theft Auto Online: Running But With Issues On Both PSN & XBOX Live

[Fresh Like Will]

Wait. GTA Online is another download? It's the same assets and environment that the single player uses. I thought it was part of the game install already and just locked away until 2 weeks after release. I have a 320 GB HDD in my PS3, but I don't want to be trying to download GTA Online simultaneously with millions of other people.

R* said it will be a small download.

Nothing like DC Universe Online's horrible downloads.

So it's like a download unlock that makes GTA Online work? I can't see GTA Online being a small download if you have to download all of GTA Online.

 

[Nawzlew]

IGN said it'd be a "code". Gamespot said it'd be a download.

If it is a download, I don't think it'd be substantial.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

Here's an example. I downloaded the NBA Jam demo, which is the game with most of the content locked out. If you buy it, there's a download for a "Full Game Unlock" that's like 6KB. It's almost nothing. You don't download the game, but a file that unlocks it for you to play it.

Is this what GTA Online will be doing?

 

[Nawzlew]

I have a feeling the online portion will be shipped with the disc, but it will be "locked". When the online is available, we can unlock it with a code.

[03silverbullet]

you assume correctly.

GTA Online details: Character creation, activities and more:

• Character progression has a "flow" but there isn't an "overarching narrative that culminates in a definitive conclusion"
• The aim of GTA Online is to do whatever it takes to get more money in the bank and accrue assets such as cars and real estate
• Characters appear in cutscenes when interacting with other characters in the world as they would in the single-player but doesn't speak
• Female characters can be used in GTA Online
• Almost all activities from the campaign are available in GTA online: "heists, missions, robberies, assaulting gang hideouts, hijacking armored vehicles, races" as well as "tennis, golf and base jumping"
• According to Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies threre's over 500 missions. Some can be completed solo, but others are complicated and require a team.
• GTA Online takes place after the main story, familiar faces will make appearances
• By currying favour of characters you can be introduced to more people and delve deeper into the criminal world
• Franklin's friend Lamar may introduce you to a car dealer named Simeon Yetarian, who wants you to steal cars for him
• Biker gangs my support you during missions if you're friendly with them
• A tech-savvy character you've befriended may hide you on the radar during multiplayer
• Security firms that have taken a liking to you may be used to deliver airstrikes
• Rockstar uses a "dynamic" system to populate GTA Online, starting with your friends and crew members, then similarly skilled players in the same part of the world.
• GTA Online has been created to be "as customisable as possible" in terms of who you play with: "there are options to let the game decide who to play with... or you can hand pick every player in the game".
• The game analyses your playing style as you play and surfaces missions that appeal more to your style.
• There's a crew ranking system and a personal rank
• The fourth GTA Online player is fresh off a plane in Los Santos, character creation involves choosing your mum, dad and grandparents and you're given a character. Then players then choose a lifestyle, make choices about the things the character does (partying, couch potato, criminal, athletics nut).
• Starting skills are based on the chosen lifestyles, but can be upgraded, as can the look of the character
• Players riding shotgun in cars can also control radio station, set waypoints, use a cinematic camera, or attack others
• Holding the select button (on a PS3) pulls up a menu where outfits and gestures can be changed
• Phone camera's can be used to take a selfie
• During a liquor store robbery the player can shout at the cashier to hurry up through a mic and the character will respond
• Escaping cops involves keeping yourself out of the police's vision cone
• After each GTA Online mission cash rewards and Reputation Points are awarded. The crew leader decides who keeps the loot.
• A leader can choose to hog the spoils but, obviously, other players might not take that very well
• Invites are received through the character's phone and accepting seamlessly transports the player to the activity
• Players can customise the way a vehicle handles at shops found around the city
• In missions involving bigger teams a lobby window opens up. From this the roles such as sniper, look-out and transporter can be assigned. The crew leader can tweak settings such as time of day, weather, difficulty and how many lives they have to complete the mission.
• Everyone is given priorities suited to their role when missions begin
• When you have enough cash to purchase a "high end residency" you gain the ability to set up heists like the ones in the solo campaign.
• These missions involve multiple phases, including a set-up phase. In the mission shown prep involved buying guns from Ammu-Nation and procuring a helicopter. The tasks can be split between players.
• Passive mode can be activated if you want to enjoy Online without being troubled by other players, this is automatically deactivated when you fire your gun however.
• Players can kill you and take your cash, so you are encouraged to put money in the bank and use ATMs.
• Purchases can still be made using the money even if it's in the bank
• If you are robbed, you can put a bounty on a players head for revenge
• Each house you pruchase has space for storing cars. Modest appartments have space for two, but high-end homes can store ten.
• Garage areas can be treated like showrooms. You can walk around and admire your cars and hire a mechanic to keep them in good condition. You can also insure them to avoid big payouts should you damage them badly.
• You can invite friends to your home and drink, call strippers, watch Rockstar's custom created TV shows (or your friends in high-speed chases).
• Missions are controlled through Rockstar's Social Club, which means the developer tweak them regularly.
