Kou's talking about the filter Rockstar put on the multiplayer. It allows them to run it as smoothly as possible, with only a slight graphical downgrade.

And this is why no other sandbox game will ever come close to surpassing GTA. From AICN

Pre-registration for the Rockstar Social Club begins this Thursday, not tomorrow.

Here are the new screenshots from the review: http://www.gtagaming.com/gtaiv/screenshots

Someone has the game! He's probably a tester for Rockstar, but at least this confirms that the achievement list that was leaked is true.

Can't happen. The publisher for SVR is the same publisher for the Japanese wrestling game. At best, it'd be like in Fire Pro, where fictional characters have the same likeness as their real counterparts.

If there was a triathlon race, it would probably be a variant of the Race mode, which eliminates weapons. GTA Race would let you do it though and you wouldn't get DQ.

The first review from OXM should be out by next Friday (April 18). OPM UK will have a review April 22, and the online sites should follow shortly. Also remember, the Rockstar Social Club sign ups begin this Tuesday.

Hopefully not much. One of the main reasons for the delay was to get the online portion running smooth. If the lag is as minimal as it is in COD4 or Halo 3, then GTA Online will be huge.

The website updated. Two new music stations were revealed, Electrochoc (Electronic/techno dance music) and Liberty City Hardcore (Hardcore Rock). The multiplayer section also opened. All the team based games were revealed, with the Coop games coming soon. Team Car Jack City: Your team has to steal and deliver a marked car before the other team does. The amount of money you get for the car depends on how damaged it is. Special cars with drugs in the backseat will net you the maximum cash prize. Turf War: King of the Hill GTA style. The longer you hold a spot, the more money your team gets. The team with the most money wins. Free Race: There’s only one checkpoint, the finish line. Get to it first however you want. Cannonball Run: Checkpoint race.

It's probably a fake. The disc artwork comes from this screenshot. Here's a fake promotional disc of GTA IV, a fake GOW 2 promotional disc, and a fake PS3 GTA IV disc.

Although they could have local multi be a surprise like they did in SA, I doubt it's in. We're three weeks away from launch and yet there's never been a mention or a hint of local multi. It's still possible, but highly doubtful.

That's was my point. The only way local multiplayer could work is if they're tethered like you said or the graphics, peds, cops, and traffic were severally downgraded. Like I said, it's impossible to get the local multiplayer to do even a fraction of what the online component does, at least for now.

Yep! Here's how the lobby system works: And here's an interesting tidbit from Gamespot:

If this game was to have local multiplayer, it could only be done with 2 people with one screen like in SA or 4 players fighting on severally reduced maps with no traffic, peds, or cops. There's no way that local multiplayer could even come close to matching the online experience. There's not enough memory in the 360 or the PS3 to render Liberty City twice, much less four times. It's the same reason why Crackdown coop was online only, there's not enough memory.

Online is going to be epic!

Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. PST, a number of websites (IGN, Gamespot, etc.) will be posting their multiplayer preview.
