Slashdot Mirror
GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer
glengineer writes "A deep bow and an "I'm not worthy" to Kent Simon, at the University of Kentucky, Ed Lyons in London, and Chris McArthur in Canada who have made the dream come true for GTA fanatics like me - GTA3 and Vice City online multiplayer! Now I can streetrace and play Liberty City Survivor with real people, not just use the "crazy pedestrians" cheat. Rockstar would be nuts not to hire these guys. So, anyone up for a deathmatch? Meet me at the Malibu Club in Vice, or the construction site on Staunton Island."
Next on Slashdot: Free Unix clone developed by some Finnish guy
I'll believe this when I see some proof...
I'll turn into a supernova and burn up everything. Well I'll turn into a black little hole and you'll turn into string.
Will we be able to pay eachother for sex and then murder oneandother to get our money back?
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Don't worry, it's been proved to be fake :).
...
For more details, check out the real owners of the Unix clone
Hah! That's what I thought. Nobody could ever be able to program something as complex as a Unix clone...

I remember reading somewhere that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are involved.
Alright! I guess this is a dream come true for a right winger like me who very much dislikes GTA. This could be the one thing that destroys GTA forever (and the reason Rockstar never made GTA online multiplayer). Please read the following steps to figure out why.
:)
:)
Step 1: GTA player downloads online capability.
Step 2: GTA player starts shooting other players online.
Step 3: GTA player no longer desires to kill hookers and cops, but other badguys.
Step 4: Since videogames influence behavior, there are less Cop shootings and more GTA player shootings in real life!
Step 5: Less GTA players means less profits.
Step 6: Rockstar sells company to "Big Idea" since they no longer make money.
Step 7: "Big Idea" starts making really cool VeggieTales games using Rockstar's old resources!!!
IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION!!!!!!!
You make it sound like Canada is relevant somehow.
Just you wait, Hurd will be out in less than a year now!
You have a good point, but to some, geography consists of "here" and "over there." Similarly, you get us vs. them.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Oh well
Sen. Clinton should get online and try to clean up the place.
try { do() || do_not(); } catch (JediException err) { yoda(err); }
It's probably because all the editors run Macs now, so they've forgotten what games are.
"You mean, there ARE games OTHER than super breakout?"
BeauHD. Worst editor since kdawson.
Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read it?
Yes, and please stop with comments like that it makes him angry.
I wonder if the vehicle stats are still local? I remember I played a while ago to vice city multiplayer, however I had modified the bike stats. I can still remember the surprise of the guy who tryed to ram my bike with his garbage truck, but instead went flying the other way. Who would have thought that a bike can weight a few thousand tonnes.
That's when you have to master the 40 MPH carjack. I was such a bastard playing against my brother in GTA 1 and 2 because I would simply jump over his charging car and kick him out of it.
Even funnier was putting oil slick on a road next to the harbor and watching an ambulance with its sirens on slide and fall off into the water.
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
I can imagine West Side Story dance sequences breaking out!!!
Dick Laurent is dead.
One word:
Chicken.
now we can all beat up on Hilary Clinton as she does her "research" on violent video games.
Note to self: Don't die.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
GTA3 and Vice City now OFFLINE Multiplayer. Thanks to Slashdot.
This is my sig. There are thousands more, but this one is mine.
No. Having it run the company.
I'll turn into a supernova and burn up everything. Well I'll turn into a black little hole and you'll turn into string.
An MMO where people run around killing people randomly for no reason at all, with no roleplay involved? Hmm, sounds like every MMO I've played. :)
Dude, If Hillary Clinton sees this, you are totally fucked. You'll be in some mental ward within the hour.
GTA Offline by /.
