GTA4 to have multiplayer

Warning: Speculation at this point.

Rockstar North have just posted their new recruitment positions. All these are game related, with motion editors and environment artists. Now assuming that they already have an expansive team to begin with, some of these positions would already be existant.

Meaning that Rockstar needs more of these people. More environment artists? I’d argue that they’re needed for the new GTA4, which just began pre-production. So they’re hiring for GTA4, or so I assume. What’s neat is that they require a Network Programmer. For GTA4.

I therefore arrive at the conclusion that GTA4 will have multiplayer, something to which GTA3/VC/SA was so close to achieving with their unfinished network code. On that topic – It only takes a 3MB mod to get GTA: San Andreas fully online with a decent server browser, a net-oriented scripting language, and a persistent online world. Oh how they were so close.
