PSW Confirms Exclusive GTA IV Downloadable Content for the PS3 and Home Inclusion

According to Playstation World Magazine, Rockstar will in a way aid Sony in launching Accomplishments for the system, Themed spaces for Home and provide exclusive content for the PS3 (although not as large scale as the 360's exclusive content) after the release of the 360's episodes.

if this is not good news for gamers.
so this will complement rockstar social club.

sonarus5872d ago

home inclusion would be nice assuming home was actually available when i plan to be playing the game

barom5872d ago

it is good news.

But I think this is the same folks that said MGS4 demo was gonna be out on PSN in February. So I'm not jumping yet.

choldstare5872d ago

Let the home avatars be usable in customizable multiplayer characters. Then every one will be running around as their avatars. People would love that. Simple and neat.

decapitator5872d ago (Edited 5872d ago )

Whiles this is good news if true, I'd advise you guys not to get your hopes up. These are the same dudes that *confirmed* mgs4 demo for PSN and it turned out to be bullshit. For their creditability, I hope they are right.

Edit:Beaten.

mikeslemonade5872d ago

I will not buy any episodic content. The only things i may consider are would be things that are relevant to online play because that has the most replay value. As for single player I already payed $60 so i'm not going get milked like some of you people. I rather move to the next great game than this rubbish.

toughNAME5872d ago

hey mike, you bought prologue, didn't you?

gaffyh5872d ago

This is all rumours, that's all I can tell form that magazine. It says "it's likely that PS3 will get it's own downloadable content", and the Home inclusion is a rumour aswell (but likely).

I am pretty sure that PS3 version will get the same DLC as the 360 version but not from launch. It will most likely get it 6 months later.

This story will probably be the hottest story on N4G in an hour.

...HOME(get it!)Rockstar!!!;-P
'Exclusive GTA IV Downloadable Content for the PS3 and Home Inclusion'
YUM!;-P
+Why aren't the xBox fans(the ones making snide remarks)on this bit getting banned to the 'Open Zone' for??? Hmm N4G??? :-/

Thoas5871d ago

Prologue is more of a demo. Extra content that Xbox 360 gets is overkill to a game that will have at least a 100 hours of single player gameplay with online deathmatch multiplayer on top of that. Plus M$ will have you selling blood and semen for that extra content.

rosebowl235871d ago

It's not a rumor or speculation when the Vice President of GTA4 says it, genius.

sonarus5871d ago (Edited 5871d ago )

lol @ vice president of GTA4 lol
@toughName. If rockstar was offering an early peek at GTA4 with 1/4 the content for 40 bucks, i can guarantee you ppl would pay for it to get an early taste of the game. DLC comes after and it is unnecessary but it will cater to the most hardcore of GTA4 fans. If you are a hardcore GTA4 fan you would want DLC because GTA4 is a game you plan to be playing for a REALLY long time.

toughNAME5871d ago

We don't even know what it is...and all of you are already throwing it down?

What if it was on your console? Come on guys.

Omegasyde5871d ago

Harry,

How is this bad for gamers? We still get a great game with an added bonus.

Harry1905871d ago

i said:if this is not good news for gamers.
which meant that this is actually good news.

mikeslemonade5871d ago

The "extra" content should already be in the game because if they're already talking about DLC before the game releases then they are probably holding it back. You are part of the problem if you buy any DLC.

I did not buy Gran Turismo Prologue and that is different because Gran Turismo Prolouge caters to the people who want to play GT5 right now which totally different than releasing a game and then putting out the DLC a month after.

wageslave5871d ago

Did you buy one or more of the following three:

A) GTAIII.
B) GTAIII: Vice City
C) GTAIII: San Andreas

If you did, you bought an Expansion.

Further, just so you know, GTA _fans_ would have bought them all. I personally did. Many people I know have more than one.

Xbox 360 are getting the exclusive Expansions. Perhaps you just dont like GTA. That's fine, no one says you must.

You're not appreciating the reality of the market for GTA.

The sales of VC & SA were each _LARGER_ than GTAIII.

So, yeah, the Exclusive Expansions are kinda-a-big deal. And just for the record, this story is a total fabrication of bullshit and misrepresents the article completely.

The xbox 360 will also get "exclusive" content like these PS3 themes and pictures.

Unlike what is suggested in the Summary, this has nothing to do with in-game content like the Exclusive Expansions only on Xbox 360.

mikeslemonade5871d ago (Edited 5871d ago )

1. 360 DLC content will not sell as well as MS will hope

2. Buying DLC is wrong and you should do it unless it's done right

No I have never bought a GTA game before. GTA4 will be my first. DLC is not a big deal when GTA4 "expansion(vice city)" is coming out in a year anyway. You are wrong if you think the DLC will sell well.

I will argue that GT5P is what DLC should be because it caters to the people who cannot wait for the full GT5 game. For people who can wait like me I will buy the full game but not GT5P. Whereas Take 2 is already talking about DLC before the game is released which indicates that they can put the content into the disc. Oh yea I almost forgot the 360 can't all that data because of the DVD9 space constraint.

You are part of the problem if you buy the DLC! If people would stop buying them maybe they would include it in the original game.

HOME inclusion: I think this was a given but it should really open up HOME for people not fortunate enough to be in the beta. I could see launching rooms for each type of MP. I could also see some pretty sweet story arcs explained in depth. Maybe more background story and other neat tidbits.

The DLC is nice and cool and all but i wonder what it will be. If it adds something to the existing game it will be of more value to me than adding additional missions. I still say with this large of a game additional story is unneeded.

EDIT: BTW

Home integration isnt confirmed. this is just a rumor, but one that i am sure is going to be true.

mesh15872d ago

HAHAHAHAHA a ps3 mag is trying to twist the interview from EGM which has the same quote from the rockstar exc and also states the dlc will be comuing for the 360 ,and also he is ryin gto twist the story by saying getting home inclusion which is not possible cause home does not exist and gta has gone gold and is getting released soon this is all the usual sony tricks that make me laugh i cant even belive now even mags are showing their fanboyish sides

5872d ago
Breakfast5872d ago

If its extra missions or something of that sort, ill be pissed. They shouldnt charge us for something that should be in the game. Espicially if they had 6 months to put it in

TheExecutive5872d ago

quit commenting underneath me when you arent even commenting on my post. I am reporting as spam.

SUP3R5871d ago (Edited 5871d ago )

I got banned from posting in the OpenZone LOL!!!
Probably a xbot mod cause I said SONY has already distributed the HOME dev-kit.
I got banned for telling the truth? LOL!!!

Anyway, face it bots you guys should have known a long time ago that your episodic content was for a limited time only.
GTA=Playstation, Playstation=GTA
It's obvious.

wageslave5871d ago

@2.3

What are you talking about? Did you buy GTAIII: Vice City or GTAIII: San Andreas?

i'd like to see what Rock star Has in the Pot cooking for Home and GTA4

legendkilla5872d ago

that would be coolwith a GTA4 room inside of home!

Omegasyde5871d ago

That would be the sh** if you could hang guns from GTA4 on your wall in your home.
or atleast poster of all the games villians that you killed.

therealwillie5872d ago

i knew there had to be something :) i'm happy now!!

Delt45872d ago

It would have been stupid not to release some DLC for PS3! I don't think that just putting some on the 360 would have sold more 360's or 360 copys of GTA4. It would have just Pis*** off alot of PS3 owners.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies21h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken16h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
