'GTA IV' to enjoy 'regular' episodic updates

Games publisher Take2 has announced it plans to invest heavily in creating regular, episodic content for its main future titles, including Grand Theft Auto IV.

 

“We also have significant visibility into fiscal 2009, which includes additional episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV, Mafia II, Borderlands, BioShock 2, our complete sports lineup, additional Nick Jr. titles under our agreement with Nickelodeon, and several new brands,” Take2 CEO Ben Feder said.

 

Although the forthcoming additional content for GTA IV is exclusive to Xbox 360, according to trade paper MCV Take2 could release 'similar' content for PS3 owners later on, stating: "The fact that Feder (Take2 CEO) neglects to mention any specific platforms for 2009 suggests that perhaps PS3 owners will be treated to similar delights later down the line."

 

Take2 also stated both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Grand Theft Auto IV are identical, but added that the PS3 edition features a 'slightly warmer colour palette'.

You read it wrong- only the Xbox will get episodic content- the PS3 may be offered DLC but not extra gameplay.

So what the 360 gets is exclusive to the 360 and will never be on the PS3. However, the PS3 will get episodic content. So, will the 360 get the same content the PS3 gets also, or will that new content be only for PS3.

Wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing?..

It would be subject to Sony dishing out money for the development of it- and of course if they're not willing to expect only standard DLC likes cars, guns, clothes etc. I doubt they'd pay $50 million like MS did. So expect only what Sony will pay for.

Warmer of course leaning more towards the reds, oranges, yellow. The 360 is described as more vibrant.

Yeah I dunno if I'm happy with that... Strikes me as less realistic... I like the sound of 'vibrant' a lot more..

 

I just hope they are in fact very slight differences or I'll be a dissapointed ps3 owner.

But will it look better as "warmer" or "more vibrant" ?

some hard core nerd will convert the dlc from the 360 to ps3 tounge.gif someday somehow

PS3 will get DLC, and do you know why? Because R* themselves said it, "We want this game to last". And to make it last you need to give both consoles DLC.

Or you could just call it Grand Theft Auto and it will sustain itself for years.

 

GTA doesn't NEED any content to make it last.

Sounds good, wonder what content they will be giving to the PS3 which is 'similar' to the 360's?

They want it too LAST until next year, now we all know if there wasn't any content. Most of us would be done by June.

I wonder how long this will go on. Could it be possible to go through at least half of 2009? I hope so.

This means nothing.

 

I'm not doubting the fact that there is a possibilty that in the future PS3 will get some form of DLC, its just speculation bullsh*t in that article.

 

The 2009 dlc they're talking about is clearly episode two for the 360. That's it.

Nice that we'll be seeing it too. But I'm not too worried about it.

Bullsh^t.

 

I was still playing GTA III up until Vice City came out. I was playing Vice City up until the day San Andreas came out, and I played San Andreas until my PS2 packed in last year. Just like the vast majority of GTA fans.
