I haven't yet been able to perform a full analysis of the new video, but i can highlight the features shown, and what little details I managed to notice.

>GTA Online is intended to, at some point, separate from GTA V and become its own game. That's why they refer to it as "GTA Online" instead of "GTA V multiplayer"

>Yes, you can own property in multiplayer! Also garages! Although not mentioned expressly, the narrator's wording of the racing suggests that we will get to store aircraft and watercraft as well.

>A heist mode? Optional scripted storyline with cutscenes? Misson Editor!? The multiplayer is getting very close to outshining the "main" single-player experience.

>A large aircraft styled after a C-130 is apparently flyable. If yachts are usable as well, then the first thing I'd do is set up a nighttime HALO jump to take over the boat.

>Customization is on par with, if not more detailed, than the single-player. It seems like the multiplayer is going to rely more on how fat your wallet is than how much XP you have.

>Ok, who's this chubby fellow? Is he some kind of mafia mastermind, working with both the three singleplayer characters and my multiplayer character??? This guy better be darn good at whatever he does!
Either that, or he's really someone from Rockstar put into the game as an Easter Egg.

That's all i can put together for now. Any details I missed? Any more speculation?

all gtas have come to pc later on and rockstar said the player cap will increase with a goal of 48 and possibly one day 100+ if ported to next gen noexplosionsmgee

Well that's definitely good to know. A player cap increase to 48 would provide some good chaotic fun but 100 players?Holy kittens that would truly be a sight to behold. :0

imagine everyone getting in a airliner and blowing it up
biggest multi kill ever lol

Excellent analysis there Earthshatter. One thing I want to is(other than the fact that whether or not the game is coming to PC like the previous GTA games)why RockStar decided to cap the player count to 16 players? You'd think that with a large open world where players can do what they want(robbing banks,having gang wars, having a dirt bike race against your friends ect.)that a 32 player cap would more suitable for a game like this. I going to make a safe guess and say that it has to with hardware limitations.

A persistent 16 player world? Feeels..limiting. Maybe fun for a while but.. well we'll see how it plays out.


Once at GTA band camp..

Draxus Prime has pointed out that RockStars goal is increase player cap 48 and that If GTA V was to be ported to the next gen consoles: the player cap would increased to 100+.
