Rumortoid: Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, mini-game details photo

Today, Rockstar Games has unveiled the official Web site for the highly anticipated Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title, Grand Theft Auto IV. Along with the new site comes a ton of new information, including new screens and videos, which can be found at the site.

One thing the site fails to reveal are any details about the game's multiplayer; the Web site only teases with a link that simply says "Coming Soon." For those who don't want to wait, we've got you covered. A trusted anonymous source has revealed to us a fair amount of information about Rockstar's forthcoming sure-thing, including some names of the upcoming multiplayer modes, and details on some of the game's side-activities.

Spoiler alert? Depending on where you stand, some of this may fall into spoiler territory. But if you think this is bad, just wait for an even more spoiler-heavy Xbox 360 achievement list which we'll be posting soon. 

[ Update 1: Well, as much as we'd like to we can't post the achievements list *too soon*. We've been asked by Rockstar to wait until the game is closer to launch before giving up all the goods. Just as we respect our anon tipster's wishes to remain free of drama we're also willing to work with the game company's wishes. The less lawyers involved the better, so some of the details from this post have been removed so some people can sleep soundly tonight. Go home, lady! -Niero]

The traditionally guarded Rockstar has been mum on GTA IV's multiplayer modes, with many people speculating the multiplayer would be anything from an MMO-style afair to a full-on cooperative story mode. According to our source, that's not exactly the case. Although we're confident in the credibility of our source, we're going to treat these details as "rumor" until we hear something more.

I may be the only one, and I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I have never fully played through a GTA game. I have played at buddies houses and done the whole, kill everyone and try to avoid the cops for as long as possible deal. But havent done missions or seen most of the cool shit available. I will be very excited to be able to finally get in there.

About what I expected. I would like to play through the game co-op though, that'd be cool.

Only freaks play GTA for the missions, that why two exclusive chapters make as much sense as a 12 month 360 guarantee. The team Cops and Crooks sounds like my most likely favourite.

I would instantaneously lose all waste fluids, should they announce an online co-op.

@corncobtacular, there will be coop missions in GTA4, it says right up there.

The multiplayer in this game is going to live or die depending on whether they rework the controls. Driving will be fine, I'm sure, but shooting was never GTA's strong point.

Oh I can not wait for this. Something similar to Crackdown's Co-Op would be great. That way you can just join in whenever with the Co-Op option and have a great time.

@namelessted, they technically had co-op in San Andreas too, but that doesn't mean it didn't suck. I'm was trying to say i hope the co-op is fun.

Wow, sounds good. But to be honest, I’m much more interested in the story mode; in my mind, GTA will always be a single-player experience.

Cops v Robbers could be AMAZING, so I hope it works out well, wonder whether they'll include anything like the bank heist mode from kane & lynch, that premise of the constant possibility of team-mate betrayal deffo deserves more exploration.

No honour amongst thieves!

Somehow, this managed to make me want GTAIV even more than I already do. Craziness.

If they do a multiplayer free roaming mode with pedestrians where you can just mess around and build up a 5 star cop pursuit, I will make explosion in pants.

We've yet to get a screenshot of actually gameplay. It's all cinematics. I wanna see a screenshot from GTAIV. Where I see my character as I control him, with my health meter. My Map etc.

Damn it. Where are the details?
Damn lawyers.
Still deciding to go with ps3 or 360.

The multiplayer on psp VCS was fun. Way better than San Andreas multiplayer. Of course I think I just got a kick out of playing Phil Collins as a gun toting terrorist.
