the fact that xbox360 will have exclusive content basically gives me no other choice
xbox360 version of GTA4 FTW
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Both have their own content, the developer was interviewed in like March. It wouldnt make sense to not release content on a system that has a HDD built in with all its models.Kahuna_1
link? Rockstar has never said anything about downloadable episodes for the PS3. Its always been something people assume but they just made a statement saying its exclusive to the 360. What more do you need to hear? Here's a quote from the head honcho of Rockstar "Obviously we've episodic content coming for X-Box 360" not a word about PS3. Evidently Microsoft paid $50 million dollars for the two episodes.

Idk, I do not save articles, I saw it months ago...but if MS paid that much then forget it.
[QUOTE="DementedDragon"]The real question is, will casuals care?-Beowulf
$200 cheaper system and exclusive new content, all on one system?
I would.
you have to pay to get the extras. hidden cost on a game may scare casuals away.
A better question is who is getting GTA4?,After GTA3 the series went downhill and the lackluster teaser was unimpressive at best.."Oh look graphics wow".I don't mean to be rude but c'mon GTA SA was overrated and unless there is an important change in the gameplay and a depth story i don't think i will ever play it,I'm hyping Guitar hero 3 instead.

I get the impression they have changed the game so much that it won't appeal to casuals as much anymore. I get the feeling they are trying to make "coppola" or "scorcese" quality game in terms of mixing drama and realism fora big punch. But I could be completely wrong.
I think ill be to busy playing my other PS3 games such Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, trying out home, uncharted i hope, rachet and clank...anyways theyou will probably have to buy the epesodic content so no thank you...anyways also there will be other games from 360 thatwould be better like mass effect and halo....This is prolly the only GTA that seem inferior to the ones b4...i mean no airplanes?!! that probably means no sky diving....which was one of the most amaazing feature ever on GTA...so w/e , also they made the world smaller i cant see it being that good....GTA disapointed me with this one...

I hope so,GTA needs is a good story and good tracks as well,only GTA VCS had a good soundtrack mostly because they were 80's songs.
All this talk of extra content seems frivolous "until" we see what the content actually is and how much it will cost. If it's actually good extras and pretty cheap the nod definitely goes to the 360 but if it's worthless (Subjective, I know) and expensive then both are pretty much equal.Ibacai
I am thinking it will be priced similarly to Shivering Isles and offer as much or more gameplay. But that's pure speculation. Someone mentioned each episode will be about as long as the PSP games but I don't know where they got that information.
The real question is, will casuals care?DementedDragoncasuals will care because employees at places like EB will make a point to mention this, presuming the 360 version actually benefits here and the PS3 version does not.

If that is true (Both points) then I would definitely give the nod to the 360 version. We'll just have to wait and see.[QUOTE="DementedDragon"]The real question is, will casuals care?Dreams-Visionscasuals will care because employees at places like EB will make a point to mention this, presuming the 360 version actually benefits here and the PS3 version does not.
Who gives a **** about EB games employees is like taking advices from IGN but 10x times worst.I hate those guys,they think they are hot **** in a champagne Glass when they really are cold**** in a Dixie cup.Damn those jerks anyhow i don't think the down-able content is gonna be free anyway.
800p probably.So far games with DLC are using it to milk people.

They mention the length of the episodic content Here and Here.
I hate my PS3 right now......
The 360 version is a no brainer because its not just ONE but TWO episodic expansions for the 360 version that M$ basically paid Rockstar for. I doubt with the cash outlay that M$ has made that hte PS3 version of the game is going to be much different at all and it certainly won't look any better so the 360 is the the only choice....besides I am the only idiot in my group of friends that bought a PS3...What happened to bragging rights??? Its not even good for that....I Hope KZ2 is great or i am selling the thing. So far I am going to hold out in hopes that KZ2 and GT5 next year will make it at least worth owning.
[QUOTE="-Beowulf"][QUOTE="DementedDragon"][QUOTE="Hir0_N"]Who owns a PS3 anyway?Hater3000
Al-quaeda.
DAMN THEM!
I knew it all along!
Look at the Bright side now the CIA can finally catch them after all how many Ps3 owners could be out there 5,8?,10 top.
J/K J/K :P
lmao, you speak the truth!

10 hours of extra content each episode thats pretty good, 50 millions also nothing if you add up that if 2million users on xbox live buy that content you will get 40million dollars if the content is charged at the same rate as shivering isles. Considering that 7-8 million people on xbox live can buy that content you end up with a hefty profit margin and the profit out ways the expense.
The real question is, will casuals care?DementedDragon
most casuals wont have both systems and will buy the version for their respective system

lol, I remember that line. ^_~
And it is true regarding EB employees, they really get on my nerves with their 'know-it-all' attitude. I got in an argument with two of them because they called me crazy for owning an Xbox without having Halo in my collection.

I could care less about your post.Touche sir.
Anyway i don't like it and if you and the whole population of casual town play GTA like if it was the local sport i don't care either.
You didn'tthought of that one eh Mr.smarty pants.
I'm slightly confused. Is the PS3 not getting any sort of content at all? Just 360? Or both systems getting it? This is an older article I found about the PS3 content.
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=68768
So I dunno. GTA died after 3 to me so I don't think I'm going to really care for 4. I'll be too busy with other games like Halo 3, Bioshock, Heavently Sword, R&C, Tekken: DR, and lots more.

2. u said whos gonna buy GTA, u didnt just say u didnt like it, so i told u that i am, as well as millions...so poo poo to u u
The real question is, will casuals care?DementedDragon
Most casuals won't even be aware of the extra content.

Yeah, M$ is gona keep it a big Secret right :lol:
There are already MILLIONS of people who know about this Episodic content because of the Internet.
As GTA IV comes closer and closer to release, we will hear about this EXCLUSIVE 360 Epicodic content in Magazines, Newspapers, and on Prime time TV.
Trust me, people who don't even play games will know about this 8)
Well seeing how i don't have a 360, but i do have a PS3, i guess am going for the PS3 ver. That and i won't pay for 'extra' content, i see no point in paying 5 dollars for some kind of horse armor in GTA.Zor
Yeah, if I only owned a PS3 that's prolly what I'd tell myself to feel better too :lol:
***NEWSFLASH***
M$ just spent FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS on Two Episode packs for the 360 version.
To put that into perspective, just ONE of those episodes has more money put into it that the entire Game of Gear of War :o

err? They bought it for a year. Doesn't mean it won't show up on the PS3 some time next year (post Oct 2008). Also the 50 million isn't going to be used to make the content, that just how much they used to pay off Take Two.

Each episode consists of 10 hours of extra gameplay and is exclusive to 360, not timed exclusive.

Where are you getting this info from? Personally am going by what i read on the magic-box (June 14, under the xbox 360 section). And like i said, it might come to the PS3, it might not.

I'm getting this info from Here amongst other sources. Also, R* already confirmed it's 360 exclusive, so not coming to PS3.
