Forums - Microsoft - GTAIV's exclusive episodes much bigger than people are expecting?

Legend11 on 23 February 2008
Apparently Microsoft cleared up a few things about GTAIV's downloadable content.  The 360 version of GTAIV will be the only version that will have DLC.  Also the expansions for GTAIV are being called major and being compared to the size of standalone games.  And finally it's up to Rockstar on the pricing for them.

GTAIV DLC

Just got back from Microsoft’s Blogger Breakfast and it was a hoot! The smoked bacon was delicious! Several bloggers got to throw questions at Chris Satchell, Aaron Greenberg and John Schappert. They answered all the questions and even recruited Ron Workman to their PR team. Here are the bullets as I wrote them down:

* When MS says exclusive, they mean that no other system can have DLC content for GTAIV

* It will be bigger than a lot of people think. GTA Vice City and San Andreas were basically expansions of GTA3. Think of the DLC that way. We are talking major expansion for GTAIV

* No price has been discussed yet. It’s up to Rockstar on whether or not they will charge for it

* If successful, DLC may be the new way to deliver GTA expansions

Hahaha they are claiming the expansions will be as big as VC and SA HAHAHA I dount it.

(If it is prepare to pay 30+ dollars per "expansion")

I wouldn't be laughing if you only own a PS3 scooper. If the DLC was anything like the size of VC or SA, I would consider a $30 price a bargain.

Lol, you better hope GTAIV PS3 doesn't ship with a crippling bug like AC or CoD4 (multi), cause MS might just say, "sorry Rockstar, but you promised NO additional content."

I didnt know AC had one either....

$50 million is quite a substantial sum of money... How much does it cost to make the average 360 or PS3 game? Considering the episodes will be using the exact same engine that should cut down on development costs as well.

Got mine day 1....no issues. Never heard of such crippling issues either.

If that is true then the 360 version is the one I'm getting.

Not so much a crippling bug, just many minor to medium sized ones the whole way through. Surely Rockstar has a clause which would allow for patches for PS3 as opposed to DLC though.

Still, don't pretend that effectively having complete extra games as DLC wouldn't interest GTA fans pooper (all fifteen million of them!!!).
