Just reporting the news, my friend.

True..:), i just did not wanna get attacked by TNS that is why i added it as a tip. He got his eye on me ...:)

IT is the way it is.

OC_MurphysLaw6117d ago

Do you really think Microsoft is going to let this game release without a specific ad campaign pointing out that the 360 is the only place to get the extra content? Do you not think every video game store known to man also does not know this and will be pointing it out as well?

Word will get out that you can be sure of.

Caxtus7506117d ago

wth?? Halo 3 and GTA IV same week??

LMAO

im sure they are not....

aplolgies im im wrong but i could swear there is a few weeks gap

MJY2K6116d ago

This is a quote (note these are not my opinions, it's what has been writen, so don't get angry at me because I'm just passing on the news) from a magazine about the exclusive content:

"Microsoft reveals that the Xbox 360 will be getting exclusive downloadable episodic content - however, it turns out that the PlayStation 3 will get the same stuff stuff and perhaps even more."

Lifendz6116d ago

It's not like it's 2 months behind. And the game isn't set to come out till October right? There's 2 whole months for them to get the PS3 version up to speed.

And... SHlT will hit the fan if it gets delayed for the ps3, but then again if you buy it for 360, your playing it on a ticking time bomb :)

your comment made me lol. You know you will get attacked for that right ? :I

synce6117d ago

I'd rather play it on a time bomb than the PS3. And yes I own them both.

Machety6117d ago

@ Synce why would you rather a time consuming game on a time conscious machine like the Xbox360. You know the more you play it the more chances you have of it dying on you. And What The F(_)ck does I have both consoles mean. Does that mean you can make idiotic comments.

AngryTypingGuy6117d ago

Ahhhhhhhh, yes. People are very quick to generalize that all 360's are bad, when the fact is that it's far from the truth. My 360 works perfectly and runs at a rather cool temperature most of the time.

Don't forget that the only place to get the FULL GTA IV experience will be the Xbox 360! The extra content will appear nowhere else!

eLiNeS6117d ago

I would definitely play it on the Xbox 360 first and for most since there will be achievements to be had. Achievements make any game worth playing and from a good game you just get more out of it, more bang for your buck. Only someone with an Xbox 360 can attest.

You know what I will do, I will give you PS3 owners a small taste of what an achievement feels like:

http://achievements.schrank...

clownfacemcgee6116d ago

That's called human psychology, and apparently it works. Just by recording some pointless number, you feel better. Just the act of observing something, changes the way you feel about that act.

So it was very very very smart of Microsoft to quantify your success with some numbers. You and some other people I know, will buy a game on the 360, just to be able to get a few more points. It makes you feel good. Microsoft made a smart move there, and unfortunately it means, you're getting scammed. Sony's trying yo do the same thing. Sony's "trophies" (such a rip off of achievements) are also attempting to suck you in, except without assigning a numerical value to it. (which I believe is instrumental to the achievements system) It's all a giant corporate scam for your money.

eLiNeS6116d ago (Edited 6116d ago )

I really don't care much for the points really, at least not until the next Xbox Rewards Challenge comes around. I also know there are the gamer score whores out there, I have a few of them on my friends list but I'm not one of them. I can tell you this though, I never got more out of a game then I have with the Xbox 360 thanks to achievements. I have played through campaigns more than once, I have tried things I would never had thought of and have tried harder at things that I would have given up within a game that really didn't matter a whole lot but when your friends see that you did something in a game that they have tried countless times to do, it gives you pride. It goes both ways, I can see what other friends have accomplished and it gets me to try to match them or even beat their accomplishments. It’s just a great way to see what you and your friends are playing, had played, what they completed, how far along they are in a game, the list goes on and on. The bottom line, it adds value to the game in more ways than none.

To give you an example of late, I noticed a few friends have Robotron: 2084 as I do and I really didn’t play it a whole lot but noticed they had a few more achievements then I did so I thought I would fire it up and see if I could match them. After a few hours and day or two coming back to it, I finally matched them. Now I am trying to get the next achievement to outdo them but can’t seem to get to wave 10. So it’s like a leader board in a way. nothing wrong with that, all games have leader boards, right?

odion while my game comes with a console that is reliable and wont crap out on me. OWNED

Edit: sticky doja do you have any proof that gta4 will be delayed for the ps3 and how about if the article is talking about the demo and not the complete game. Enjoy playing this on your 3fixme! OWNED

Edit: Dlacy13g does it really justify that while you are plaing gta4 on your 360 that suddenly it craps out and you have to wait 3-5 days for them to send you the damn box for your 360 to be placed in like i did and then send it and wait anoter 3-5 days just to play the damn game again and then it craps out again and you have to reapeat the process. Does it really justify now?

sticky doja6117d ago (Edited 6117d ago )

360 will have extra content, and might come out sooner, I would consider your PS3 version PWNED!

Edit: I guess you didnt read the word "might." Or simply didn't understand its meaning. Maybe you will learn the meaning to that word in Jr High.

SmokeyMcBear6117d ago

woohooo a prize that will cost me half of what the original cost, for just a couple of side missions, woohooo

this movie is not yet rated.

OC_MurphysLaw6117d ago

You can shout about how the 360 breaks all you want....it still isn't going to give you the extra content a 360 owner can play. And even if the 360 craps out...guess what...3 year warranty...done deal...fixed for free....not an issue my friend.

OC_MurphysLaw6117d ago

I am replying to your updated comment. I think you are assuming that everyone will run into the same bad luck you apparently did. While failure rate could be as high as 30% according to some sites...what does that mean? Does it mean that day one you open your box and boom...its toast? It means 3 out of 10 people could expect to see their 360 get red rings at some time ...its not a lock..its not a garauntee...its just a possible percentage. Most people, a vast majority of people are not having this issue.

So to answer your question....yes, yes it is worth it. There are great games on the 360 I want to play now and in the near future games that I can only get on the 360 such as GTAIV w/ the special content. My 360 is working great...so I will play those games. If it should fail...I will send it in for warranty for free...get it back in a couple of weeks and begin playing again.

I think the other peice of this that should be addressed is the "End of the World" attitude people place on not having your console for a few weeks. While I get we are all avid gamers...not playing games for one or two weeks is not the end of the world...you will survive it should you ever have to endure it. Get out...see what the sun feels like, breath in some fresh air...actually read a book! LOL...point is...the warranty makes repairs free so not being able to game for a few weeks is a fair trade given the great games coming out. And if you are able to I would suggest you get a PS3 and a 360...this way you get the best of all worlds in gaming on consoles ...and if your 360 dies...you can play your PS3 while you wait...and then get back to the 360 version of GTAIV,

SofaKingReetodded6117d ago

to make one of the most moronic comments yet....

it's doesn't come with the extra content you idiot, do you really think Msoft would shell out 50mil for it and then turn around and give it to you for free??

they charge for extra maps for christ's sake....lol

GODDDDDDDDD XBOTS ARE DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS. no wonder they act like a console that breaks down is a good thing.

when you're done paying nearly $120 for one game PS3 fans will be enjoying two games for that price.

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.

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

Number1TailzFan360d 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.

BlackTar187359d ago

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

seanpitt23359d 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!

Number1TailzFan359d 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_BLM359d 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?

1nsomniac359d ago (Edited 359d 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.

Profchaos359d ago (Edited 359d 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.

DarXyde359d 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.

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

blackblades359d ago (Edited 359d 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.

banger88360d 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.
