Rockstar: GTA IV has multiplayer capabilities in all versions
Rockstar has confirmed to GI.biz that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Grand Theft Auto IV will feature multiplayer content when the game releases April 29. This was to clear up earlier confusion about the multiplayer component after Microsoft's Don Mattrick said something which was misinterpreted as multiplayer being exclusive to the Xbox 360 game.Now, what these multiplayer capabilities are is still anyone's guess. Also up for debate is what Mattrick exactly meant when he said, "I'm really excited with [GTA IV's] downloadable content and online multiplayer support -- again, that's something that's unique to 360."%Gallery-3442%
Moore: motion control on 360?
Speaking to Game Informer, Don Mattrick and Peter Moore discuss the future of the Xbox 360. Specifically, Moore discusses the great stable of games heading to the platform -- Mass Effect, Forza 2, Too Human, etc. -- and how Microsoft plans to combat the tiny white elephant in the room, the Wii. According to Moore, Microsoft began to see the significance of the casual market when the Wii was still known as Revolution. Moore states that Microsoft's strategy is more than simply throwing more E rated games onto the 360, saying "it's more experiential than that." This quickly leads to the speculation that Microsoft may have a motion controller of its own in mind. At this point it remains pure speculation. After all, Mr. Moore could easily be talking about more games involving the Vision Camera. Whatever it is, Moore states that there will be announcements within the next couple of months. With any luck, we might just hear something during GDC next week.Do you think Microsoft has a Wiimote up its sleeve, or is it something entirely different?[Via Evil Avatar]
