Forums - Microsoft - The "truth" about GTA4 Xbox360 DLC

OMG. I just had a revelation!

You know how GTA3 had San Andreas and Vice City

Do you think that GTA IV's two episodes will be two new games? Like the op said, GTA [insert city name], and GTA [insert city name]? And only be out on the XBOX 360? If THAT happened, then it was fifty million well spent.

No, they would never accept 50 million dollars on two huge sequels.

ROFLOL...Bioware and Pandemic cost was estimated at $850 million, which is why $1 bln for Epic isn't outrageous...you know...the unreal engine is like in everything from toilet seat to electronic dogs...lol. The money spent on the content is money well spent, since GTA is going to be the top seller for 2008, and probably up their right behind Wii sports (no that I really include a game with a system). Who's also to say that $50 million is for just one DLC?

I am not a fan anymore of the serie so I really don't care anymore.

i think the DLC really won't bother a large number of people.

grand theft auto 3 took most people anywhere from 60-100 hours to beat.

im sure ps3 owners won't be like.... awe man, only 60-100 hours of content!? what a rip off!

 Yeah, if Microsoft only DIDN'T have to put aside 1 billion+ for console repair bill, right? ;)

Imagine Microsfot with Bioware and Pandemic as first party developers?

And what is your current position at Microsoft?



DOATS1 on 23 February 2008

i doubt the content is what vice city was to gta 3, microsoft wouldn't have worded it the way they did if it was. they would have made it pretty clear if it was. plus, i doubt sony would let such a big thing go like that. but if it was the case, i guess we know where the new home of gta is.

Where would "GTAIV Palm Beach" or "GTA New Jack City" be stored? Most 360 owners only have a 20gb HDD, and many don't have an HDD at all. The chances of any company releasing full games via XBL are slim to none, imo.

 They already sell full original XBOX games over XBOX Live so, that kind of already happened.

I more curious to how many people will actually care though. There's two of these Downloadable Episodes right, so I doubt they're full games, just a new city with new missions and some other new weapons and cars and nonsense when you there. Probably like what Shivering Isles was to Oblivion. Downloadable expansions. Unless these things are free I don’t think it would really sway that many people to the 360 versions, if I'm right about what these episodes encompass. (All though numerous other reasons may.)

they could've used that 50 million dollars extra to have a shot at Bioware (at least up the price a little)... how much did EA buy them for?

but they didnt.

Now all GTA fans are gonna want the 360 definitive version rather than the less adequate ps3 version
