    Is there a free roam option online game? As in just people wandering around the city. Now that'd be great.

    I think that is the passive mode that was mentioned in a few of the interviews.

    Thats pretty much what it is. You can turn on passive mode which can stop other users from trying to kill you/ruin a game of tennis/whatever you're doing. Everything that can be done in single player can also be on on GTA:O.

    Could it be that just the 16 in your game are active, everyone else is the usual NPC's from the main game? An infinite amount of games, but only 16 people in each. Would be a bit crap if each area could only have one game at a time.

    Some new info about Online from a czech magazine. Same old stuff but one thing new is that you can instal a tracking device on your car so if someone steals it, you can track them down. Will be a great laugh pulverising someone for stealing my Banshee!

    Sure one thing that stuck out is you get notifications if an enemy of yours comes online.

    You stole my car, eat my bullets

    I thought that GTA Online would be a proper MMO, i.e. thousands of player online at once...seems 16 is the max. Maybe I'm looking for too much. That would be cool though no? MMO style in a GTA world

    We could see it if they release just GTAonline without the GTA5 single player on next gen consoles next year. Can you imagine 64 players in free roam around Los Santos.

    Is there anything rockstar haven't thought about? It seems they have included every (realistically possible) feature the fans wanted.

    I think it will be. This is only the start to it, 16 players on x360/ps3, you'd imagine that the next gen will have larger games and you can imagine the PC. They're really billing it up as not being part of GTAV as much but it is its own thing. I'm really excited to see what it becomes. :D

    Will that apply to the vehicle that you're driving too? Seems like it would be god mode if it did.

    Most likely. You can't shoot anyone either though when in passive mode.

    So what exactly can you do that you couldnt do in single player?

    Watch other players(?), and do tennis/golf or whatever with friends, the world is huge. Its there to prevent people from getting killed over and over after spawning so I don't see it being much a issue.

    They could include NPC pedestrians/drivers in a passive mode and then have group rampages. Say you enter a passive mode with 4 of your buddies, you are a 5 man crew. The rampages could then be scaled based on this number, for example a 5 man crew has 1 minute to kill 300 NPCs. Or the entire crew has to survive 10 minutes with a five star wanted rating. You then have the tactics of is it better to split into two smaller groups and hare it around the map for 10 minutes hoping you don't crash, or do all 5 hole up at the end of an alley and try and out shoot the cops.

    This could be going on for more than one crew on one server, so I could then log on on my tobler and help out a crew who is in trouble, or not. The only people you could be killed by are the NPCs so there'd be no dicking around. I hope this is the direction Rockstar is heading and if not they need to get me on staff now.

    I'm almost certain that CVG mentioned something about the car still taking damage in passive mode. If you are driving crashing will still damage it, but I don't think it takes bullet/explosive damage. However, if you get out of it, it can still be blown up so it would be a good idea to have insurance. I think you can lock it too, but that doesn't stop weapons damage.

    It was definitely mentioned in a previous GTA 5 O'Clock episode, but they're so long and drawn out that I forget the exact details.

    Yep you can take out insurance on your car in GTAonline so it can be replaced if someone steals it or blows it up or whatever.
