Xbox 360: GTA IV to use Table Tennis Graphics?
Does pretty ping pong make a Grand Theft Auto? Rumors have recently been cropping up alleging that the next generation Grand Theft Auto from Rockstar Games will in fact use the RAGE engine created in house. The RAGE engine has been seen working with their latest 360 title, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis. According to Jostiq, and interview with MTV News brought to light some interesting news about Rockstar. When they asked what Rockstar reps had to say about the RAGE engine, the response was, "I met with Rockstar publicists and producers for Table Tennis twice prior to the game’s release. Both times they volunteered that RAGE would serve as the engine for all next-gen Rockstar games." That would include the upcomign Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360. Other rumors are saying that GTA 4 will in fact be an MMO due to job positions that have been posted on Rockstar North’s site: "We are looking for talented network programmers. Candidates will have considerable experience writing high and low level network code across a variety of systems and be able to demonstrate fluent C++ programming skills." While the former idea seems a little easier to swallow, the idea of a GTA MMO still has promise.Source: http://www.gameshout.com
