Wasnt really what I was expecting but nonetheless, cant wait for it to come out. Will once again blow the dust off my GTA4 for this "expansion"...then let it go back to collecting dust again once I beat it.

5.5m PS3 GTAIV. Come on Rockstar... stop being daft. Follow Bethesda example and let everyone join in the fun.

PS.. Awesome title LOLZ

PPS.. Didnt I give Gay Tony a face full of shotgun in the Diner in Broker?? Is he a zombie?

Statix5445d ago (Edited 5445d ago )

Well, personally speaking, I still haven't even played GTA IV yet, which should tell you just exactly how much I give a sh** about this DLC business.

No offense mate, but I don't think anyone cares. This has nothing to do with the PS3/what you don't like about XBox 360. It was unnecessary and there are millions of people who don't agree with you about the XBox 360 and its games.(300 more games than PS3 actually)

You commments have been reported as off topic.

Why can't 360 gamers and fans talk about this in peace?

Why 50 disagree's just because someone jokingly said this will be GOTY?

Why are PS3 fanboys so desperate acting on this website?

"Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony"

ok.....i got three questions, is this "tony" from GTA3 and liberty city stories, next if it ain't him then who is this guy, and lastly which GTA world does this game takes place in?

edit, nvm, it has it right in the first paragraph.

"Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, which will include both episode one The Lost and Damned"

Probably the same world as the DLC as the DLC will also be in the disk

Really? I've heard many 360 only owners go on about exclusive DLC being more important to them than games. So hey, enjoy the exclusive DLC for a game that won numerous awards and broke records. You get 20 hours of gameplay for 19.95. That's a pretty darn good deal if you like GTA4 imo. Wasn't trying to ignite a "flame war."

"and the 360 is STILL a superior system."

....you really couldn't help yourself there could you? jeeze.

Anyway, this is pretty cool that they're announcing a new episode for GTAIV. Got my Fallout DLC, still playing the waiting game for GTAIV.

Don't know what the fuss is about. Since when has some DLC ever been a big hitter? lol.

Half the time I don't have any time to even touch most of the extra content they throw at you.

No Way5445d ago (Edited 5445d ago )

Sounds... Interesting. Lol
If it's anything as good as The Lost and Damned, I'll be gettin this, too.

5445d ago
SinnedNogara5445d ago

First htye have the full frontal man nudity in Lost and Damned, and now this!! We all knew it was coming. The title "Ballad of Gay Tony" says it all.

Hope its good and sees a PS3 release.

KaBaW5445d ago

It won't hit the PS3.. It's exclusive to the x360.
If it does, it will [most likely] be a while before you see it.

pixelsword5445d ago

...but still, I wouldn't be happy if I was called gay because of the implications.

Single Disc version i see

Chubear5445d ago

..so they have to put DLC on discs?! O.O That's kinda strange.

TheBand1t5445d ago

Technically if they put it on disc too it falls under "Expansion Pack".

N4PS3G5445d ago

But you don't need the original game to play it now and its still longer than most full games out there

thats all cool...just remember to be a gamer and give cred to all good games no matter what console they're on...because at end of day brand loyalty is foolish...why miss out on something good just because its not on your fav machine...

There will be plenty more to play.. Do a simple scan and search and you will see.

First a 3D penis, now a game with the word "gay" in the title, I think Rockstar wants to push some buttons and see the reactions, get some free media buzz ;)

poeo5445d ago

yeah, but the thing is, these sorts of things SHOULDN'T cause controversy. a glimpse of a 3D virtual penis... wow such a shock. not.

and now a videogame story with some gay characters. should it, honestly, cause controversy? no it should not.

Nemo885445d ago

You can see why the controversy, video games are traditionally seen as for teens, and some probably see it as a slippery slope: first a flaccid 3d penis... next people are having graphic sex in games

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

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.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

The fact it hasnt been remastered is insane.

Fifteen Years On, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Is Still the Series’ Best

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan359d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187358d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23358d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan358d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM358d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183358d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted358d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde358d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

notachance358d ago

Yeah I remembered falling asleep playing the last mission in GTA4.. the most boring protagonist (out of all the voiced protag), and the town is too small.

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

blackblades358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88359d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai359d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn359d ago

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.
