and Microsoft had to pay 50 million for it. The XROBOT Corporation are run by complete dorks.

Edit: @ Xsux360
Who are going to purchase those DLC that down the road?

Edit: @original seed
No kid, you be happy that you got GTA4 day one. K, now go bury yourself in dirt.

original seed6169d ago

Its really sad that some fanboys got to start rumors for a battle that they have already lost<---- im talking about the GTA4 battle.

Just give it a rest and be contnent that the 360 didn't ghet the whole game as an exclusive.

the_round_peg6169d ago (Edited 6169d ago )

original seed has a lot of happy bubbles with friends!

kingofps3 has ONE bubble left! One very sad lonely bubble!

If kingofps3 doesn't stop spilling craps, his last bubble will also die!

Omegasyde6169d ago

I hate to say it, but he is right(original seed). MS could of bought exclusive rights to this,leaving PS3 owners out to dry. Be greatful KingofPS3 and all Sony fans.

I still think this idea was abit foolish since this money could of went towards development of new longer lasting hardware or 2 or more games.
You also got to think, Killzone 2(so far?) and Gears of War cost less to develop that 25 million(cost of each DLC episode).... This DLC, I believe might be a new game in itsself using the GTA4 engine from the disc. Since Ms pushes online competition in games, who knows where this can go?

TheXgamerLive6169d ago

Come on, your making the other sony fans look stupid too. Don't either of you have any common sense?

This is an old post and no ps3 doesn't get downloadable content as of right now, will it later? maybe. The Xbox 360 gets this limited edition case A N D downloadable content/exclusive content.

Seriously, try to remember past 5 seconds ago and don't repost a portion of an old post idiot.

ATTENTION SONY IDIOTS!!, you know who you are!! Pull your head out of you ass first before posting, smell a little fresh air first to open up your neural pathways and maybe just maybe you'll put across an intelligent post, or atleast a word or two.

This isn't torwards all sony fans, just the dumb ass's like those above.

Now be good little morons and go play ratchet and clank on your ps2.

Tiggs6169d ago

I dont believe that MS paid 50 mil for downloadable content.. It just doesnt add up. Even MS would not be stupid enough to bank that much money on episodic content which wont be available till April next year when the GTAIV buzz is a distant memory and everyone is looking to the next big thing.

If they did it looks like MS gaming division will be preparing for another huge operating loss this year.. HA HA

There will be DLC for PS3 but maybe after 2 years or after a year when Xbox 360 gets DLC for GTA IV.

But not at a same time !! 80% sure about it

Downloadable Content: Yes

ShiftyLookingCow6169d ago

yeah yeah sure after two years we will get Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and Final Fantasy and you will get Halo, Mass Effect and Gears of War

Mr_Kuwabara6169d ago (Edited 6169d ago )

Must be a Gamestop typo, the same with the $200 PS3 price drop. They believe that the 360 has the same thing as the PS3. These guys really aren't to up to date with the console wars, exclusivity and s*** so don't pay too much attention towards what they put.

Omegasyde6169d ago

IT will have content like patches. Then again Sony could always pay for DLC as well.

The kicker would be it would be completely different story than the 360 version. This would please both fans and make sense, it might piss off the Exec's at Microsoft though.

I would be pissed however if this DLC was only for the collection version instead of just the game. Imagine 6 months down the road when you get the stuff on xbl/psn and it reads error: Not correct Disc.

jaOSYH261nsw29m6169d ago

I'm going to guess the DLC will be bug fixes, maybe a new weapon, car, etc.

It won't be a story addition like the Xbox will have.

TheMART-sucksdick6169d ago

I might pick it up for PS3 aswell?? No harm in doing that.

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."

ChasterMies25d ago

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

just_looken25d 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

CrimsonWing6926d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker26d 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!

KyRo26d ago (Edited 26d 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.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d 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.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d 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_Frampt25d 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_looken25d 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.

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?
