Rockstar have revealed a couple more details about the Multiplayer for their highly anticipated sequel in the Max Payne franchise (first details were posted here). They will be allowing you to create your own 'crew' or join up to 5 other 'crews' through Rockstars Social Club. Studio co-founder Dan Houser had the following to say:
Multiplayer is an ever-more important part of all our games moving forward and by creating crews through Social Club, the crews that you create in Max Payne 3 will be ready and available for you to play in Grand Theft Auto V from day one. It's all part of our larger approach to make multiplayer deeper and richer than what's currently available, much more easily accessible to the newcomer and rewarding for the hardcore.
We made a promise not to talk too much about forthcoming games until a little further down the track but, yes, crews will feature in Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer. Max Payne 3 will let you form private crews with your friends, or join public crews. You can be a member of up to five at the same time, and completing tasks as a crew will gain you XP points. Among the crew features promised are persistent Feuds, that see you scrapping with opposing gangs who've killed someone on your team.
Max Payne 3 is coming out on May 15th in North America and May 18th everywhere else, no word on GTA V's release yet.
