Unrelated: I don't write for GTA4.net anymore, I'm going to help Jordan out at PlanetGTA.com

Does this also officially mean you stop trying to be funny by posting pics of The Office?

 

Thank f*cking god.

Thank god indeed. Now it's Jordan's turn to stop. smile.gif

 

Anyway, interesting news, but really not reliable or coherent enough to convince me the DLC will be going to PS3. On one hand, GTA exclusives usually never stay exclusive, but on the other hand, $50 million kinda convinces me this might be one of the exceptions. Kinda funny at first most of the PS3 owners were like "OMG I DUN EVEN CAIR ABOOT DLC " but now they're all excited about it over a 1up article. Interesting. Really interesting. Either way I don't really care if it's going to PS3, but the hypocrisy here is funny.

Peter Moore said this:

 

"If you want the full Grand Theft Auto IV experience, then only the Xbox 360 can offer you that

That is what he wants you to think because he is working for MS and not sony so of course he wants you to believe that.

"As the head of the [internal Sony] studios it's hard for me to comment on the third party relations, so I don't know the details of that -- we deliberately keep those separate -- but we have a great relationship with Rockstar and we're actually working closely with them on a number of initiatives, so I do know some things that are going on but I'm not able to share those with you now."

Sony executives are not exactly known for their truth telling abilities see the recent PS3 'pricecut' anyway this little part from a recent with SCEE president David Reeves tells us a lot about Sony and R* current relationship.

 

 

As you say you've got Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo, and then Microsoft's got the likes of Halo. Then there's this murkiness around titles like GTA IV, where extra content is coming out on 360, and Microsoft is saying 360 is the only place where you can get the full GTA IV experience. Why didn't you get that content?

 

It's just a question of money. If Microsoft wants to pay USD 50 million just for that... Then I would say they're quite desperate. But as Jack Tretton said, we're really not in the business any more of buying exclusivity. We're more in the business of developing, from Phil Harrison's area, new IPs. We want to move on.

 

It's too easy to look at and say, 'We must get the GTA franchise.' By the time you've got it the world's moved on, and they'll be talking about some other game. I've got children who are 11 to 15 years old, and those kids are looking forward and not necessarily looking back.

 

They're the kids who are going to be buying it - the new franchises, but not necessarily the old ones that we signed up to E3 four or five years ago. They're not going to drive the market in the future; it's going to be the new ones.

David Reeves Interview

 

So in a roundabout way his saying GTA is old hat, this isn't the first time Sony has slyly badmouthed R*. Sony's Phil Harrison said that the game isn't "that important anymore" strangely his comment was during E32006 after MS announced day and date release of GTA IV and exclusive DLC. In fact Sony screwed up big time as R* had offered them the exclusive on the game.

 

 

Grand Theft Auto IV -- Peter Moore shocked the world at E3 last May when he announced that GTAIV would appear day-and-date on Xbox 360 and PS3. Months later, Newsweek reported that Take Two had wanted to continue its long-standing practice of giving Sony a lengthy timed exclusivity on the game, but they didn't want it.

 

Newsweek says that former Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi's "radio silence" on the issue left Sony's American execs without the authority to make deals, and nothing happened.

Sony's Lost Exclusives

 

Let me reiterate that R* offered Sony a FULL exclusive for GTAIV, but Ken Kutaragi couldn't be bothered so R* went to MS and opened negotiations. I imagine MS tried to convince R* to go fully exclusive to them but back then that would have been a risky strategy as no one at the time knew how crazy the console world was about to get, with the PS3 having disappointing sales and the Wii and the Xbox360 steaming ahead and getting huge userbases.

 

So MS came up with the idea of DLC a win/win for both R* and MS. R* gets to do continuing storylines and dip their toes into the very profitable DLC world and MS gets a good selling point for their version of GTAIV.

 

And the Xbox 360 DLC will sell like hotcakes no doubt leading to R* offering MS first refusal on any future GTA content.

 

Way to go Sony.

All of that is pure speculation though.

 

I garauntee that the DLC will never give microsoft a proffit, there is no way in hell that theres even enough fans of gta with 360's to justify 50 million dollars.

 

MS just tried to steal fans from the ps3, not make a profit from the dlc.

 

It might work, but if the PS3 gets its own dlc (wich it seems is likely) then MS will have just effectively pissed 50 million down the toilet.

They can't steal you, they can't make you buy their products instead of other companies products. It's up to the consumer what console they want to purchase. Microsoft will make huge profits by selling the content via Xbox Live, if everybody buys the content in will soon add up back to the 50 million dollars, so Microsoft won't be losing money really.

 

But i don't get why Microsoft would have paid 50 million dollars to get the exclusive episodic content, just for Rockstar to make some more content for Sony. dontgetit.gif

MS didn't steal fans they saw something that would make money and went with it, companies don't concern themselves with fans and who buys their stuff as long as someone buys it and lots of it. I am also sure Sony wouldn't let you have any extra content free it will have a cost attached.

Has anybody thought that maybe they're not talking about GTA at all? confused.gif I got the impression that they were talking about LA Noire.

Official July/August fr PSM3 mag confirmed NEW ISLANDS, so maybe new missions and new characters, for the PS3

"Si on peut faire une croix sur les contenus téléchargeables dédiés à la Xbox 360, Sony s'est quand meme arrangé pour qu'on obtienne nous aussi notre part du gáteau. Après la sortie du jeu, le Playstation Store devrait proposer de nouvelles zones reliées aux territoires principaux. Ce qui implique forcément de nouvelles missions, et peut-être meme de nouveaux personnages! Pour l'instant, on ne sait pas si ces contenus seront payants."

 

..

 

"After the exit of the play, Playstation Store should propose new zones connected to the principal territories. What inevitably implies new missions, and perhaps same of new characters! For the moment, one does not know if these contents will be paying.”

 

O RLY? orly.gif Reads like speculation to me.. suicidal.gif

indeed..

just cuz some french magazine says there will be new islands..doesnt mean anything.

all the other sources say only xbox 360 gets downloadable content, and what that content is isnt confirmed. rockstar said they didnt know exactly what it will be themselves, so that french magazine is just full of bullsh*t.

However if this turns out to be true. then thats cool for PS3 owners who would have something to look forward too after completing the game.

Yours is right.

If we can make a cross on the DLC for the 360 (we must forget it), Sony have done something for us (ps3 owners) to have our piece of cake too.

After the game comes out, the PSstore should propose new zones connected to the main territories. What inevitably implies new missions, and perhaps some of new characters! For the moment, we don't know if these contents will be paying or free.

From 1up:

 

1UP: Can you guys say if you're going after any exclusive content ala Microsoft's two episodic entries?

 

Tretton: We have some pretty good information in terms of what our plans are with Take-Two relative to GTA4, but I really want to make sure we get you all the exact facts, so we can get you something from Dave pretty shortly.

 

Dave being him.

Say hello Dave!

It's a bit more than speculation i think, official rumors like that never come from nowhere. That's my opinion.

360 is hamperin IV, trust me.

 

it makes sence that ps3 gets the other islands, 360 probably couldnt run it right if it wanted to. they get afew more missions perhaps, and kick rocks all the way home.

 

la noire should be crazy. i dont know how long they been working on it, but while i was lookin for some IVpics' i came up on so screans for la noire. i dont know but the visuals like better blush.gif .

 

the releasin of IV, and the bannin of manhunt have showed me how political everything is becoming

 

ps3 version will look better, and play better in any event .. what can you do viddy_pirate.gif

I think if we'll get "something", it's not gonna be exactly DLC. What about mod tools to create our own missions and download missions from others? I'd say this can happen so it won't be "DLC from R*", but we'll get "something"... inlove.gif
