Do you care about GTA IV DLC ?

After witnessing the reveal of the GTA IV DLC trailer there were mixed reactions.

There has been some negative reactions to GTA IV in general after it's release. Some say it wasn't fun and that it's basically GTA3 dressed up in next gen graphics.

Still it received the game of the year award at the VGA and has sold very well.

I enjoyed the game and it's new darker and more adult take on the sandbox genre. The story was more central this time and they relegated the mayhem more to the online part of the game.

But others turned to Saints Row 2 for their kicks. They really wanted something along the lines of San Andreas. More diversions and crazy fun and mayhem was requested.

R* usually takes their time with developing GTA games, so we probably can't expect GTA V any time soon. We have to turn to the DLC to satisfy our GTA lust. From the trailer it seems we can expect a very different experience from the main story. More rock and roll and less gloom. Playing as a biker will surely be fun.

My last blog was about the 360 DLC maybe not being so "exclusive" after all. And as a follow up on that I present another quote from the Insiders column in the newest PSM3 about this issue. It's presented as printed, with error in DLC title as in the magazine:

"Rockstar have released details of their upcoming DLC for GTAIV, sub-title Lost and Found. OK, we know it's not on the PS3 radar but just in case... <cough> You play as Johnny Klebitz, a member of the Lost biker gang featured in GTAIV and it will show 'a different side of Liberty City' according to Rockstar head-honcho Dan Houser. We'll see what the future holds before dusting down the Xbox."

Let's just hope the Insider isn't just leading us on. But given his persistance I somewhat doubt that. I certainly would love some more GTA on my PS3...

Yes, It gives me a reason to still own it.

PS3 owners shouldn't care. We have inFamous for our next GTA fix. Even if this came out for the PS3 i wouldnt buy it as its too expensive for what should of being available at launch for free on the disc. (yes i know its being developed as we speak)

I honestly think most Xbox and PC owners won't care either, its predicted to sell 200 mil for both episodes, i reckon it will barely hit 50mil for both. Too many new and better games comming out for people to care.

wow $50 million dollars on exculusive add-on software. Microsoft rather spend there money on this rather than quality first party games.

Lombax6340d ago

I could care less. Now if they let me get my money back after wasting it on GTA4...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
