Discuss: Rockstar boss says GTA IV MMO is 'very, very doable'
Posted: 9 months ago

I definitely agree with him on console MMOs being the 'Holy Grail'. Scary to think how much time I'd put into a GTA MMO, and I don't play WoW.

Exactly. Orcs and elves? I don't give a sh*t. Hoopties and pimps? Yes please.

While we are all dreaming here, how about a GTA real time strategy game. I can see it now, gathering resources, grouping units and then attacking the enemies base! Then the in game announcer calling out "Your dope house is under attack".

Gunnz, did you ever play 'Pimp Wars' back in the day? It was a turn-based simulation strategy game online. I wonder if it's still around? I'll have to do a Google search...

Plus, the Godfather and Scarface games on PSP were pretty much crime-based RTSs too. So, it's been done before, but not in the GTA universe of course.

Haha I used to have 'Pimp Wars' on my calculator in high school. But then it did that thing where it reset sometimes when you changed the batteries and I just never bothered to get the game back. But I'd be all for a GTA MMO. It'd be interesting to see what kind of achievements you'd have to get. The only thing I'd be worried about is the possible cheating/glitching.
