Rockstar: GTA IV MMO very doable

Rockstar founder Sam Houser has said that a GTA MMO "is very, very doable and is a very, very compelling proposition." He called the idea of a mainstream subscription-based MMO on a console as "the Holy Grail." However Houser believes that there would have to be alot of thought into combining the game play in GTA with a virtual world as it "might amount to little more than a city of a couple thousand players all shooting at each other with rocket launchers."

The problem, as Houser sees it, is in combining the GTA gameplay with the idea of a persistent world. Without the right constraints, the game might amount to little more than a city of a couple thousand players all shooting at each other with rocket launchers, instead of an interesting, compelling MMO experience. From the tenor of his comments, it doesn't seem like Houser and Rockstar currently have any specific plans for an MMO just yet, but we imagine they're going to be paying very close attention to Realtime Worlds' All Points Bulletin when it comes out later this year, as its 'cobs and robbers' gameplay is the closest to GTA we've seen yet.
