Today, Rockstar announced the launch of a brand new version of the Social Club website with new features designed to let fans make their mark as a member of the Rockstar community, and better integrate Social Club activity with modern social media. The new launch includes custom personal Social Club user profiles, an all-new Friends system with public and direct messaging, the ability to link in and login with your Facebook and Twitter accounts, Newswire activity and reply notifications and much more – plus coming this Wednesday will be the additional launch of Social Club CREWS where members will be able to register, create and rally Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Crews ahead of time.
Social Club Profile Pages
• SOCIAL CLUB PROFILE PAGE – Personalize Social Club profile pages, complete with status updates, a display of recent stats and accomplishments across linked Social Club enabled games, and proper Friend linking with a Wall that updates Social Club activity and lets members cheer and jeer their friends at Social Club, as well as easily plan multiplayer sessions.
• USER ACTIVITY FEEDS – Keep tabs on the latest accomplishments via a real-time activity feed. With the release of Max Payne 3, Friends will know each time a Trophy/Achievement has been unlocked, throw down the gauntlet for a multiplayer session, or see when a friend has added a new soldier to their CREW (Wednesday).
• ADD FRIENDS – Search and add Friends that are current Social Club members and also find, import and invite contacts from Facebook, Twitter and gaming accounts.
• LINK IN & LOG IN WITH FACEBOOK OR TWITTER – Link in and display profiles from Facebook and Twitter (as well as PlayStation Network IDs and XBL Gamertags) direct to personal pages and starting Wednesday, Social Club activity will post directly to those networks. For new members, we’ve enabled Social Club account creation (and sign-in for existing members) using Facebook or Twitter username and passwords.
I can’t wait on May 9th you can start making your crews, expect to see a Bifuteki one!!! HYPE!!
