What are thought could be the first screenshots showing Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer mode have hit the internet.
The screenshots originally appeared on Dutch website Xboxworld.nl, but appear to have now been removed - however not before they were nabbed by GTA fan site GTA4.net.
It's not clear whether all of the screenshots are supposed to be from multiplayer, or just a selection of them.
Previous details on GTA IV multiplayer have stated that it supports up to 16 players. As well as the obligatory Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes, GTA IV's awesome-sounding list of game modes includes a Race mode around Liberty City, four-player co-op fights against the police and the very obvious cops vs. crooks team game.
I go on GTA4.NET every day. I saw these last night. So Rockstar didn't want these shown? OOh, I bet they are p*ssed! I saw this last night and I went into a fit.
I think these shots are from crooks 'n' cops and hang N.O.O.S.E (or whatever it's called) .
This is torture, I hadn't seen many of those screenshots before (inc. the older ones) and I am beginning to froth at the mouth. The environment at night looks absolutely astounding, and what looks like proper traffic jams! Woohoo!
While GTA4's graphics aren't all that great to start with, if that screen's anything to go by, the multiplayer will look but ugly... Still looking forward to it though.
