TGR - "In our last edition of Rumor Killers we brought you word that Microsoft was expecting to release the first batch of exclusive Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC in November, alongside the new Xbox Experience. Turns out that might just be wishful thinking on Microsoft's part though, and anyone looking for a reason to go back into Liberty City will have to wait until 2009.
According to a a source close to Rockstar, there is no way the new content will be released until next year, with January or February 2009 being pinned as the early possible dates the new content could make its debut."
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
There needs to be a good wii lightsaber game...
yes i am back!!! highdro is back !!! fell the power of sony,feel the power of the psp-3000,feel the power of the ps3,but feel the overheati ng of the 360 XD
AND BOYCOUT THE WII...one or two bubbles will not stop me..
feel the power !!!!!!!
ReeeeeeTaarrrrrd
but MS talk DLC will be launched until end of 2008 is just trash talk.
Something tells me that if this delaying BS continues, we'll see this DLC go multiplatform for a few reasons:
1. MS may begin to think that it wasn't worth it and just say "do whatever you want with it, we have no more interest", which would be pretty cool for PS3 owners. We don't know how this contract (if any) was written out, but this could be a bad sign for MS keeping its exclusivity.
2. Rockstar, and for that matter, T2, will be losing money (even that alleged 50 mil), and seeing the current PS3 momentum, they may see an opportunity to get more money out of it after the loss of money via delays.
To anyone who thinks THIS won't be possible (it IS possible. Not probable, but still possible), remember what they were saying about FF13 before it went multi. MS needs to be careful about what they say about this at this point.
And why hasn't MS shut up about this DLC yet? It's obviously that they don't know crap about it, so why are they out there pretending they DO know EVERYTHING? This is WHY I keep saying shut up and let Rockstar explain the details. Yet they will never learn.
EDIT@Relin: Contracts may be signed (we may never know and no one will say anything about anything concerning this unless it's MS running their mouths about stuff they shouldn't be talking about), but they can also be terminated for whatever reason (and with whatever consequence would come from that).
By this point, it wouldn't matter WHO had it because whoever bought GTA4 would buy it for the system they wanted to buy it for (or was ABLE to buy it for, and if the 360 owners bought their's just for the DLC, then they really dropped the ball on being GTA fans, in my opinion). The DLC was only an afterthought to so many GTA4 buyers, and many don't necessarily want it (for whatever reason they will give). Bottom line is that if this is delayed further, then we'll see some much deserved anger coming from the 360 crowd because they were promised something extra and they are not getting it right now and are not sure if they will ever get it.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with your point, but still, this is something that is a real serious cause for concern at this point. MS needs to start making decisions as to what was worth it, and Rockstar needs to start making decisions as to what they really want to do now.
