GTAIV DLC Rumored To Be Huge And Cost 1600 MS Points

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "Last night on the Warzone, Weapon X gave us the skinny on the GTAIV DLC. Here are the things he mentioned:

1. GTAIV DLC will arrive in late October or Early November
2. The DLC will be more like an expansion pack
3. It's rumored to cost 1600 MS points and will be very large

None of this is confirmed yet but Weapon X has some very good sources. Stay tuned for more info on this in the coming weeks."

PM dude...You guys are doing some good work. Just like I thought GTA4 is going to be cheaper, bigger and spark sales. I understand how many fanboys feel about the PS3, but honestly I don't see it dominating this holiday. Definitely picking up steam but not dominant.

Be a gamer...Not a hater

Actually your more of a hater than a gamer so you should at least be honest.

I noticed.One thing that is interesting is that GTA 4 is just so boring.I was among the hardcore GTA fans who could'nt wait for GTA4.But it was so boring single player and online that I could not really stand it anymore.I got the 360 version and the PS3 version cheap but I can't get excited for this series anymore

I love GTAIV. I even love it so much that I own both versions of the game PS3/360 :)

(((PS3 FTW)))

If the DLC is just missions I probebly wont bother... Theres a tonne of other good stuff to play around Oct/Nov time.

1.5 - I was just the opposite SC
I never got into past GTA games. A few of my friends that were GTA fans for years all thought IV was a huge disappointment. I am the only one in my group of friends that finished the game.

I picked it up for both system too. I didn't finish the PS3 version yet. The game definitely lacked variety and depth. After getting a third of the way through the game it seemed that one mission just blurred into the next. The only thing I enjoyed was the story and some of the characters. Nikko and Brucie had me laughing out loud more than a couple times.

I was going to sell off the 360 copy a long time ago but I would be dumb enough to go out and repurchase it when the DLC hits XBL. I have done this before more than once. So now I am trying to hold on to my games now instead of trading them in or getting rid of them on eBay. I just hope I am not completely disappointed with the DLC when it arrives.

Most likely I would wait for user reviews or feedback from friends before purchasing GTAV.

"Be a gamer...not a hater."

Do you guys even realize people can look at your comment history?! What you actually mean is, "Be a "LIVE Gamer...Not a 360 hater" right? Because, as you put it "The 360 poos on the PS3".

Now on topic- I was really dissapointed with GTAIV, stopped playing it. I plan to go back and finish it (and hear it gets much better as it goes) but I doubt I would invest the time for any DLC additions.

I'm definitely interested to see what R* do though, $50 mil is a lot of maoney and I doubt that is just for a bunch of new missions.

I hope the DLC adds boats,planes,two more cities,a new story,less cellphone related missions,friends that you dont end up killing anyway,more guns,more interior environments,bigger rock soundtracks,country music stations,replayable side missions and all that DLC for free like it should have been from the beginning.If not...I will play Gears 2 and Resistance 2 then.

2.1 - Well
You are not going to get those things for free, and I believe you knew that. There isn't a developer in existence that would give away 50mil dollars worth of content for free. $50mil is more than what it costs to develope, box, and ship alot of games.

I just thought of something, wasn't Vice City, and San Andreas considered expansions of GTA3? This content could go above and beyond expectation.

The closest I see is Criterion. Other devs should do like them. They offered alot of DLC and it was free.

I've already sold my copy, as it quickly got boring. Even if this DLC is a bunch of really fun stuff to do (jetpacks, tanks, REAL attack choppers), I'll just rent it to play the new stuff.

But being it's probably just more of the same old missions types, I likely won't have to.

that home will remain free, because of the amount virtual advertisment that can be accomplished. I don't mean adverts that scroll to cover your screen, i mean billboards or possible hosted 'events'(i.e. wipout hd tourny hosted by Pepsi something along those lines)

Let's wait til it gets on the market, shall we? On a side note, Xbox Live cost over 2 billion to initially make.

Wow, seems like PS3 owners will be missing out on something huge. More reasons for me to pick up a 360 later this year, I guess.

What it seems like is Rockstar releasing half the game on both consoles and releasing the rest of it on one exclusivly. Oh well.

3.6 - PS3 owners arent missing out on anything huge....
if the expansion is anything like the game that is... i too was waiting a long time for this game... i even left work early to get it and play it.. but i was very very disappointed.. the single player was boring and repetitive and the multi was well.. just boring... and repetitive.. i traded it in in the first month while i could still get max value for it.. and i dont know many people that still have this crap game sitting around.. so i wouldnt consider it a big loss...

3.7 - Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.
Honestly I'm sick of the franchise, and was sorry I bought it, and sold it 3 days after I purchased it. So even if it were a whole new game worth of content I could care less. I won't buy GTA 5 or anything Rockstar product again. They've kicked the same dead horse for long enough.

"What it seems like is Rockstar releasing half the game on both consoles and releasing the rest of it on one exclusivly. Oh well."

What it IS is that MS paid Rockstar $50 million for exclusive DLC. It's also not "half the game," it's an expansion / DLC. It's not a big deal.

Except for fanboys and hardcore GTA fans obviously.

HAHAHAAHAHAH you can't be serious... "PS3 owners will be missing out on something huge" hahah
And HUGE would be GTAIV DLC? ROFL Get a life man... I played the game for 20 hours and then kept it on my shelf. The game is so overrated.

It's a bummer this "reason to buy a 360" is coming after a majority have lost all interest in the game, more missions, wooooo. I have a 360 and sadly I don't see anything turning the current trend around. 360, down down down, PS3, up up up.

I don't even care about the story, I just want parachutes, planes, more clothing, better online multiplayer unlocks, new islands (or something better like Vice City), I also want the ability to bowl, play darts, etc. with friends online. It will be hard for me to pay more than $10 for all of this because even though I'm rich, I'm a cheap skate.

I generally don't buy into rumors, especially ones concerning the DLC for GTA IV.

As far as what it is, we've had CVG say its essentially a "Vice City" addition to the game.
Then we have this site saying it'll be "huge and expansion"-like.

Then we have Lazlo, a producer for the game, saying its new missions, weapons and new story elements, which could be anything.

I just wish they would say what it is. If only to build hype for it. Because if it's coming around Gears 2's release date, it better be something worth wile.

Edit: LBP hits at the end of October...damn. I'll just get both if I can.
