GTA IV: DLC will also be made available for both consoles, PS3 and Xbox 360

I told you so. While the 360 is getting its own 'exclusive content' so is the PS3. :lol:-Karmum-

I think the general consensus is that both PS3 and 360 will get the same generic DLC pack, but the 360 will get an extra exclusive episodic pack.

Ahahahah PWNED

No.

Oh I see the situation has been defused already. Nice job owning yourself.

It's just sad how some people abandon logic whenever they stumble upon something like this. It should be obvious to anyone that when you pay millions for exclusive content, it will actually be exclusive.

And check your sources FFS. As has been mentioned, N4G accepts any trash from any trash.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

Haha, N4G!:lol: Guess who posted the story on N4G? The TC of this thread.:lol:

I've never heard of the source you linked:

http://www.trustedreviews.com/gaming/news/2008/01/25/GTA-IV-Release-Date-Revealed/p1

MS didn't hand over all that money to Rockstar for nothing. Does that compute?

Hydrolex

It's a Rumor. You need to stop playing too much game because your eyes got 3 red rings of death

N4G. :lol:

The absolute trashiest gaming website in the world. They'll accept crappy blogs and vague rumors from unknown websites as 'sources'. :lol:

The source states...

I feel almost ashamed to admit it but I had actually forgotten all about Grand Theft Auto IV until this week, when I noticed the press release informing the world that it finally has an official release date. A game many hoped to see the other side of Christmas 2007, we now know that it'll be released simultaneously worldwide on the 29th of April this year.

The delay is being attributed to "technical issues" with the PlayStation 3 game, but those problems have apparently been overcome and development of both versions is now at the same level. It is also being stressed that both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions should be indistinguishable from each other in terms of graphics and gameplay.

Downloadable content will also be made available for both consoles, although Rockstar did stress that owners of Xbox 360s without hard drives would not be forced into purchasing one to play the standard game.

In related news, the ban on selling Rockstar title Manhunt 2, originally imposed by the BBFC and then overturned by the Video Appeals Committee, has now been reinstated by the High Court. As it now stands, then, the game will not be making it to UK stores unless the High Court judgement is overturned or revoked - and personally I can't see the crown ruling in favour of Manhunt on this one.

Not that it matters though, Manhunt 2 is no competition to GTA so as of April we should all be far too entwined in the latest Rockstar development to care about anything prior. Fingers crossed there aren't any delays or bans on this one.

GTA IV site.

And that link to the GTA IV website isn't to any sort of press release or anything that states this. It's just a link to the main page. EPIC FAILURE.

oh GOD I could not agree more with you, I dont trust N4G.

lol.. 360 fans in Damage Control..

N4G is a trash site run by fanboys.... Its a game news website that links to 3rd party websites for game information.
Run by fanboys? Grow up.

Until this is actually confirmed by RockStar i guess its just speculation, but this isn't great news for all those 360 version superioity theorist. Everyone else should have no problem..

50 million dollars for Exclusive Content ms? While sony gets its own for free, this doesn't seem fair. :|
Adrian_Cloud

As I said before, both 360 and PS3 will get the same DLC pack, but the 360 version will get exclusive episodic content on top of that pack. This was discussed a few pages back, you should really read threads before you post in them.

lemmings owned? how? it just says the ps3 version will be getting content :?lawlessx

AND that the delay was due to the Playstation 3.

LOL....

First lemmings said that only theyll have DLC,now after that they changed it to "EXTRA" DLC.... hahaha:D

I don't get why thats a bad thing. The 360 is getting the same DLC as the PS3 version, but the 360 version gets exclusive episodic content (confirmed to be 13 hour campaigns). You can't spin this to be a bad thing for 360.It's a bad thing for PS3, though.

:| Extra Downloadable content.. I just have two questions... do you have to be a Gold member, and How much will they cost?

ACtually 2 more... Episodic content means that they will come in a certain time frame, so how long do 360 fans have to WAIT for this content? The next question is how long will they be? if its just a few missions then its nothing to boast about.

You don't have to be a Gold member to get DLC, so no. Probably 800 MP if the length is 13 hours.

The first piece of content is coming out 1 month after the game launches (according to R*) and sources say it would be approx 13 hours long (if my knowledge is correct).

Where did you get this confirmation?

From what I've heard it's eight hours to complete both "episodes".

Gold Member probably not, but may have to wait to download it if you are not. How much will it cost, don't know maybe free, maybe $10, maybe $100,000,000,000.01. I don't know I don't work at Rockstar.

For how long 360 fans have to wait, probably until Rockstar is done, for how long they will be maybe afew missions. But if the cows had this and it was only afew missions they would be hyping it until.... well the cows come home.

It's sourced, which means there's a link that confirms it

Well Wiki can be used if the source of the stuff is linked, and for the 10 hours it is. Here

Yeah MS advanced Rockstar 50 million dollars for episodic content.

The episodes will be like mini games onto themselves.

Sony probably gets some lame missions and some new outfits and cars or something.

Thanks for the link. And also, to all Cows out there, Microsoft PAID for this while Sony didn't. So, why all this mumbo jumbo?

*rolls eyes* if any one took the time you'd notice the article was failed at n4g.com finally I.E failed because it was FAKE.

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"]

What I read was MS paid for exclusive content, but in the contract it didn't limit Rockstar from making other exclusive content available on PS3. So yes X360 will get exclusive content and PS3 will get it's own exclusive content. Personally I don't pay for extras that should've been included with the game to start. Pre-planned nickel and diming of customers is not something I care for....

ps. Don't quote me on this, this is just what I saw on the internet. We really don't anything until Rockstar officially says, except that GTAIV is going to rock :)

ReverseCycology

Yep GTAIV is going to rock, but its going to rock harder on the 360 with those exclusive episodic content. And there were never news on Sony paying for any exclusive content. As I recall Sony said themselves "we don't buy exclusives".

you do know how short gta missions are right

Both will have DLC its just that the 360 will have exclusive ones.Medic_B

i could care less about dlc to me it's a complete rip off like paying 5.99 for a song on rockband what the flip is up with that but hey if u want to spend more money thats cool for you

Yeah MS advanced Rockstar 50 million dollars for episodic content.

-Ninja_Dog-

in the end though even if ps3 gets lame stuff. we get a new rockstar franchise to their self
