Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City Coming to PlayStation 3 and PC Posted: January 29th, 2010 12:01 am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games | Tags: The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, PSN, PLAYSTATION 3, PC, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto, Episodes From Liberty City, Downloadable Content

We are happy to announce the much anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows® - LIVE on March 30, 2010. For the first time, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows - LIVE players will have the opportunity to experience the last two thrilling chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga.

The two action packed episodes will also be available for download on the PlayStation Network and Games for Windows® LIVE on March 30, 2010. Each episode boasts the same detailed and immersive Liberty City we all know and love. Games for Windows - LIVE players can enjoy 32-player multiplayer matches and an advanced video editor, and all fans will have the chance to once again listen to the dulcet tones of Liberty City Radio.

The Lost and Damned is a dark trip through Liberty City's seedy underbelly as outlaw biker, Johnny Klebitz, fights to keep his gang together as a rift in the gang's leadership threatens to tear the brotherhood apart. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, players explore Liberty City's high-end nightlife as Luis Lopez, struggling to balance the temptations of money and vice against loyalties to family and friends. Both episodes feature a slew of new vehicles and weapons, and each episode adds new activities including cage fighting, gang wars and BASE jumping

I kind of think it was intended to be part of the 2009 holiday lineup. In the end, they probably wrote it off as petty cash or chump change...

It was never a loan, they paid for the exclusivity. It was in Rockstar's financial statements, and i'm sure they clarified this in the year that GTAIV was released lol. I don't why people think it was a loan.

I think if anyone paid attention to timed exclusives that has been happening, we could have seen this comming from a 3rd Party company called Rockstar.

If so why so damn much? LOL That could of funded a new I.P heck even GTA5. I know MS is a huge company and that could of been chump change for them. But to really waste that much on two episodes? I just find that kind of odd.

Irrelevant on which specific fanboys(if you can actually name 5 reputable cows in SW that said EfLC suck I would be suprised) think about the game. The fact of the matter is the xbox 360 lost another exclusive.

Even if I wanted to name names, I can't because that would constitute moderation so yes, I am generalizing but it's not exactly difficult to spot the folks who bashed the EFLC content for months and are now using this news as some sort of ownage against 360 owners.

Didn't it have mandatory installs? Can't remember. We'll see if this is a port or if it was built from the ground up for the system like GTAIV only.

It does run smooth but its on par with the 360 version so I mean 6 gigs is a waste really and I only have a 40 gig. Another weird thing is the inital load time in the beginning is faster on the 360.

As King of SW, I do put in a lot of time here, but I don't see these guys that are being referred too.

Anyone here bash EFLC content and now are using this news for ownage, please step up. I am curious as well. :)

I'm trying. I think generalizations can be fun for some posters though, I see it a lot. :P
