GTA4 DLC,or Alan Wake

ah ha ha ha ha ha

was it worth it microsoft

50 million for DLC...down the drain.

...."That's no good."

Epic Fail ROFL!

why all the hate,its retarded to think that gta4 isnt going to be relevant in like 3 months,come on

dlc is the reason people like me who plays games for the sake of enjoyment are buying the 360,i dont care about stats i care about entertainment,and i do believe that when the dlc comes out many and i repeat MANY people are gonna buy it and play it,i bet anybody in here that gta4 dlc will break records
i only have a ps3,but the xb360 line up is looking retarded,i want to play gears 2,i want to play fable 2,i got kids and im gonna go out on a limb here and say that im getting this so that my kids can play viva pinata.

rrod is dead,disc scratching is dead,all we have left are the games

oh yeah and shout outs to the GAMERS in here and a big middlefinger to all these anti-social "journalists" who want to fan flames and start internet beef cuz if they go outside the air'll kill em

so stop hating and get your game on

be smart ppl and be thankfull they are trying to do something that is focused on quality of content instead of milking us with new outfits and clothing packages for 1500 ms points a piece.

they said they are taking their time to make it something really special and make sure it is good. To me that is what matters. sure if they released it this holiday season everyone would be like oh finally and then everyone would start whining about how there isnt much content. either way people are going to whine cause they all love to hype and hype and hype things up and then when it comes they are the same ppl doing the trash talking = theres your problem

GTA4 DLC is rapidly becoming the MS equivalent of Playstation Home, except Home is probably going to be well worth the long wait.

I guess it's nice but I've almost never bothered. I agree with some of those postings above. Not much out there coming up for the 360, it really seems to be winding down. It had been over a year that I bought anything for my 360 (I get all my multiconsole titles on the PS3 as I'm on my 4th 360 and don't really trust it). I bought Halo 3 then..nothing. Finally I was able to dust it off when Fable 2 and Gears 2 hit, and I'm enjoying the hell out of both of these but other than Alan Wake, there's nothing on the 360 horizon that's interesting me. Halo Recon - 5 hours, I'll pass. Halo Wars - I'm sorry, console RTS? I'll pass. L4D - I'll get it on the PC if it turns out alright. It really does feel like the 360 is winding down before the replacement is due out in a couple of years. I hope I'm wrong as I'd love to get a few more decent exclusives out of my 360 for all the hassle it's caused me, but I just don't see that happening.

HAHAHAHAHA

OK so its delayed, fine. But at least ffs tell us what the DLC is.

Still clinging on to my 360 copy of GTA to see what this is.

More copies of GTAIV were sold on 360. MS prevented Sony from using GTAIV as a system seller. MS already won that battle.

Alan Wake and Sasquatch are laughing. It simply doesn't exist, nor will it ever at this rate. You got MS saying one thing, and R* saying another. Noone has a clue what's really going on and people have moved on from playing this game a long time ago.

Does anyone care anymore?

Rockstar are too busy working on that ps3 exclusive that sony made a deal for back in 07?

so was the 50 million worth it ms

What is up with marketing these days? I'm hearing nonstop articles about the NXE. I don't care about the NXE. Why can't I get news on FFXIII or GTAIV DLC. You know, news that matters. Such as... WTF IS IT? I'm sick of this "non-news" crap that the gaming industry is spreading on all systems.

@Silogon
Microsoft needs all the help they can get next year... Look at the facts.

Halo 3 has passed
2 Gears of War games have passed
Banjo "hahahaha" and Kazooie is out; if that's even applicable
Fable 2 is out

What else do those guys have on the way? I see a sharp decline for them on hard hitting exclusive content. Face it RE5 and Tekken 6 don't have the same feel now they're both multiplatform.

don't underestimate ms here, you do realize thats why they wait for e3's and other big trade shows to deliver these former ps exclusives going multi-platform blows just to get the media and everyone else back on sony's case.

on the exclusive side they do have some games lined up.

Halo wars is coming, halo recon which i now hear is only 5 hours and change long is also due at the end of the year as well.

that forever delayed splinter cell conviction that supposedly cant be done on the ps3 is still schedule to come out some time next year.

left4 dead if im not wrong, expect a few pgr's you know they normally throw around 2 of those in a single year.

alan wake is still in pending so thats up as well.

ninja blade? don't know but can be a sleeper hit you never know.

last renmnant for at least a 6 month gap, until it comes to the ps3.

killer instinct 3 is already in development and has been for quite some time so... yeah they have a few sleek titles on the way as well. but not too many which is why i believe they are paying loads of cash for exclusive dlc and such.

that game prototype was delayed for one reason and one reason only, and if you are ms you are thinking i gotta get a counter for sony's infamous, so they'll probably do what they do with most money hungry 3rd parties and bribed em or something.

ms isn't stupid at all, heck i hear crysis is supposed to come to consoles in 09 and i bet all the money in the world ms will try to get a 6 month exclusive hold on that so they can counter killzone 2, is just how this market works for the most part.

not like a console crysis is going to be able to match the ground up build console shooter killzone 2 no way, but you all know how this works. just my personal opinion.

Rockstar is full of Lazy mofo's eh?

haha... 50 million...

Delaybox pleasefixme

Well, this might be a good thing AND a bad thing.

It's the same reason that it can be a good and a bad thing. The good, the hype of the game is gone, and new content will bring people back and more people might buy it, beliving it's something "new". The bad, the hype of the game is gone, and people are tired of the game, because they have already played it so much.

But, I belive from a M$ perspective, then it's good. Because they have Gears2 and Fable 2 out now, two games that people will play, and then maybe not bother to download the DLC

all sonys games are sequels gow3 kz2 gtr5 mstorm pr surely microsoft can start to do this as much with its exclusives in the next year.own both and with exception of pgr4 prefer the playstation exclusives

*SIGH*

No one cares anymore, that game was boring halfway through it, why would I want more.

Everyone just wants GTAV to be better and theres only one way to do that and we all know it.

R*, just sell yourself to Sony, give M$ their $50M back and get back to working on the main event, not this little spin off, sideshow attraction.

Who even plays GTA 4 anymore? It was just an over hyped dumpster game. It was a downgrade from GTA SA.

50 Million Dollars.

comes out the 3 year warranty will be up on most 360s and everyone will be too afraid to turn there boxes on for fear of RRoD.

I was hoping this DLC might improve GTA 4 in some way, with some new additions and upgrades to the game. Since it has been stated by Rockstar that DLC will appear at some later stage on the PS3 (minus the 360 exclusive new episodes), I was hoping the 360 would prove the DLC to be a success. Well it seems like something very fishy is going on here. People are definitely not gonna care too much for this DLC now if it does go to Spring 2009. That $50 million must have been used for something else, or Microsoft have just been f*cked in the ass and tossed aside on the floor by Rockstar!

One a side note - I personally think the next GTA title should be a PS3 exclusive, it will be potentially much better and more detailed, packed with lots of content, made possible by the PS3's Blu-Ray and Cell capabilities. And before you fanboys and try and bite my head off, you can check see for yourself that GTA creator Dan Houser has previously stated that the 360's technical capabilities are quite limiting for making huge, detailed games like GTA.

I too felt very let down by GTA 4, even though it was still a very good game it was just missing too many vitally popular features that could have made it a great title. People say GTA 4 is massively overhyped, but I actually think it deserved the hype considering massive expectations surrounding it and the hugely positive previews it was getting before its release. However, I can say that GTA 4 will probably go down as one of the greatest disappointments in gaming history, what a serious letdown it became in the end.

I just really hope Rockstar make the next GTA title alot better than the latest offering.

you know what i find wierd. more than half the posts on here are ps3 fanboys saying "gta4 sucks!""i havent played gta4 in ages!"
i have so many games i dont even care about the dlc for now. but when it hits this march with the continuation of nikos story and a new island ill be enjoying every minute of it while you dumbasses are here saying gta4 sucks.

it is funny when everybody says ms doesn't have anything lined up for 2009 when everybody knows ms doesn't announce things until they are mere months away

look at things like nxe and gears 2

gears 2 wasn't announced until what? february of this year?
NXE at e3?

people were certain that ms was going to announce motion controllers, they never did

people guaranteed blu-ray xboxes, they never came

the truth is the public has no idea what is cooking inside the redmond fortress, it could be the most mind blowing thing we have ever seen, or it could be simply something average

but i can guarantee they have something, if not a few things we have not seen or even heard a rumor of

nobody knows what microsoft has and that is the fact, halo recon probably wouldn't even have been announced yet had bungie not tried to announce it at e3, but the botched announce let the cat out of the bag until the official word a few weeks back

sony has a bunch of promises that may or may not deliver, ms has yet to show what they have

it is pretty slick strategy if you ask me, look at the hype the boiled up for gears in less than 9 months...it didn't need a CGI trailer 4 years in advance

personally i hate when something is show and then we hear "we will see this in 2 years", then why show it at all?

we didn't even see screenshots or trailers for gta until couple months out, that is the right way to do it

alan wake and killzone are victims of their own success, they had these really early trailers that looked amazing and now they have to be perfect or the game is over

as for the gta content, i got rid of gta a while ago as did a lot of people i know, it just didn't hold my interest at all, the story was less exciting than other gtas, and the multiplayer just wasn't good, more often than not the personalities of the people playing are what ruined it, but what do you expect from people playing gta? definitely not maturity

at this point it it hard to say what i'll be playing in march, if i'm playing at all, gaming just hasn't been that exciting lately and it is about that time in the cycle where i sit back and enjoy what i have and maybe check out something outside my usual realm once in a while

Heh, your so funny. What? You feel pissed off because the stuff YOU'VE been promised has had a slight delay put on it, and after all your piss ripping of the sony crowd, now YOUR getting it up the wrong passage. I think that's what they call karma pal.
