Aye as Blerk said…yep.

Put it this way, the flippin multiplayer in Saints Row was laughable. Tiny little environments and a bunch of lacklustre options. What Rockstar did with GTA was pretty much allow you carte blanche to play in the whole of the map, with a whole bunch of players - and with some really decent co-op missions. If Volition manage that I’ll be incredibly impressed but I can’t see it happening…

“If they do pull that off, then hats off to ‘em but if Rockstar couldn’t manage it I doubt they could. ”

Why? Because Rockstar are coding gods or something?

The two player co-op mode should be interesting. And I bet it won’t be seamless either. Not encompassing the full single player narrative at least.

If they do pull that off, then hats off to ‘em but if Rockstar couldn’t manage it I doubt they could.

Quite interested in it after the last vid though…
