Good news for all GTA fans.

"...Grand Theft Auto fans won't go long without another fix of wanton violence and pillaging. GTA3 Xbox is a given (with online play?), but we'll also soon hear the details on GTA4. Rockstar's stayin' silent on the subject, but I could name a few hundred thousand fans ready to part with $50 a piece for it. The current talk indicates that DMA will take the GTA3 framework and turn it into a massively multiplayer online game for the four installment, where you're free to create your own mobs and anyone in the city could be a "real" person. Word is it'll also be set in a real U.S. city this time."

"We're not sure what it is that makes some Morpheus members vulnerable to this," said one, who asked to remain anonymous.

"Potentially this could make every user's computer available to anyone who wants to have a look at it.

"All we know is that there's a major gap that's allowing certain users to become vulnerable."

The group contacted BBC News Online out of concern about the privacy implications of the security hole.

"It's definitely an accident from Morpheus' side, probably a worm. This is very dangerous."

Napster was shut down by an American court last July for breaching music copyright.

Morpheus is at present legal because there is no server storing the digital files.

Music fans swapping MP3 files are put in direct contact with each other.

The Recording Industry Association of America, which spearheaded the fight against Napster, is reportedly looking at ways it can tackle these new methods of file-sharing.

Gah... I guess "massively multiplayer online" is the flavor of the month for game developers.

whats with this stupid mplayer online craze? i guess its game companies realizing that they'd rather have a constant stream of revenue. i, for one, don't enjoy that type of game. if this is an optional part of the game(a la a "multiplayer mode" )then i'm all for it - everyone's happy. i just think it a terrible idea. oh, and gta3 for the pc is due april... 19 i think. mid april i know that much.

GTA 4 is going to be a success if we won't have to pay ultra-expensive monthly fees for that multiplayer connexion

this will only succeed only if there are no fees for multiplayer like diablo 2 thats why is diablo 2 is a hit they dont charge for a game that u bought whats the point of buying the game and still having to pay monthly to play it

#8 Duh! In real life can you kill a cop...NO, In real life can you steal a car and get away with it... Maybe that's the point of the game

people on this site just irritate me. that and their ignorance, not all just some... the few people with mixed opinions on everything (ie. mortensen, neobond, willywonka69, creamhackered, and Osiris...) those people i actually look forward to their posts and comments and raves, because they have a good sense of logic to themselves. thats all my bitching for now.

GTA3 was soo much fun! First game on the PS2 to really get me hooked. I played all of the big name titles on PS2, but none compare to GTA3. Bring on 4.
