Former R* Employee Reveals GTA3 Multiplayer Details

TapTechNews May 27th news, recently, former R* employee ObbeVermeij answered some GTA-related questions raised by fans on social media.

When it comes to the multiplayer mode, ObbeVermeij revealed that considering that both the first-generation GTA and GTA2 have multiplayer online modes, R* initially planned a multiplayer game for GTA3, and he actually wrote code for the relevant functions, but unfortunately, this mode was ultimately not released.

TapTechNews learned that the reason why R* cancelled the multiplayer mode of GTA3 is that R* had too many things to do at that time and was 'too busy to develop it', while GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas did not offer an official multiplayer mode respectively due to 'technical issues' and 'cost considerations' (players can play online through third-party VCMP/SAMP and other platforms).

However, although the multiplayer mode of GTA3 was cancelled, a series of multiplayer maps built into the game have long been unearthed by the GTAForum and fans, etc. The relevant scenes are mainly used for 'battle' purposes, not the'multiplayer roaming' style of today's GTAOnline.
