eagle016 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I thought Lazlow said it was something along the lines of just more story, characters and things of that sort? There's no way R* would take $50 million to sell a new city on one console when they could make that same map and sell it to both consoles for a much greater amount of money.

roofy85 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Why sell DLC of an entirely new city for $10 when you could make an entirely new game out of that and sell it for 60? Because they already made $50,000,000... Microsoft bought the rights for 50 million, yes 50 million... you do realise crackdown only cost 50 million to make. I'm pretty sure they can afford to create a new island or two with $50,000,000 then they have sales on top of that. They'll make a killing on this don't worry. hahaha GTA IV was made for 50 million so i dont see why they couldnt make a new city at that price. the only thing i see going against this is the timeframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitzofraen Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Think of the ps3 users...R* wouldn't be THAT stink to em.New missions, tops. I don't really think R* would give a f*ck about the ps3 users considering that MS paid 50 mill and Sony didn't pay anything. (its all about the money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre1218us Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) It's not a new city. Episodic content anyone? I wouldn't consider that episodic. I'd bet anything it's more missions. A city wouldn't make sense. They've already said Staten Island was too boring to replicate. When has R* ever lied to us trying to withhold a secret? The developers talked so much about how it's a New York story and New York is the star and all...why would you move to a new city and start doing missions there? And how would that tie into the storyline? Say you've just started the story when the DLC comes out. You'd download a new city? In the middle of a story? It's not logical. I read in one of the reviews about how after finishing the main story, Niko got some call about something regarding the final; mission. I've read reviews about how people wish the story would keep going, How the story is somewhat unresolved. How what you do during the story mode has effects on your stay past the storyline. It's a chance to completely finish the story. Why would R* go through the trouble of making a city and only charge $10 for it?

Paddy Donagh Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Surely sony knew about the content and what was offered for the cash, obviously they don't think it's that drastic a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngerOfTheNorth Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hang on, didn't they spend about 3 years building this city? In which case a whole new city - even a very small one - is going to be a tough call when you remember the DLC will be arriving this summer... Still, it's all possible.

M22NYC25 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 If there is gonna be any new land, it will not be a city. It would be an island or maybe they will add on to jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nYgizzle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I don't see it completely impossible. I don't see it as being VC or SA. Like mentioned in the article something along the lines of Atlantic City wouldn't be too horribly hard to do. I'd imagine it'd be somewhere close to LC/NY. But it'd have to be smaller, just one little area of a town pretty much. Atlantic City seems most likely, DC would raise so many issues so thats highly unlikely. Maybe they'd drop down to Virginia Beach... sh*t, that place is like 1 really long ass street and thats it. That'd be easy to recreate. BUT, also . . . Dan Houser said in an interview that they haven't really began looking at what to do for DLC. So who knows? Noone, thats who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nYgizzle Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You realize in terms of cities, LC is the size of ... well... a few boroughs? IF it'd be a city it'd be smaller, as i mentioned, and probably an add on of jersey. It'd be something bigger than a few missions, since microsoft payed half the making of the game for it. The only other big thing to do to LC is give it winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny-Vain Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Like I Sayd Before it Doesnt Have to Be A City it Could A Mountain Region...

As you said earlia, why would R* think 'bout what the ps3 users would like? I personally feel they would show more loyalty to sony than that, m$ have the cash to spend over n over for more missions, 50k or 60 doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be a new city. M$ will spend that much extra to try n beat sony in sales, it's just a swizz to get more money out of us at the end of the day....don't build your hopes up.

E-lasto Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The only game that has done DLC right, is Crackdown.

Hobojoe4eva Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 It'll be like gta IV stories... i.e. like the psp versions changed 3 and VC adding guns and a new plot line maybe out of the eyes of a different protagonist but one that we already know from GTA IV...

Carbine23 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think it would be cool if Rockstar added a small Westchester part and a GTA Style Boston. I mean in real life New York City and Boston are competetors against each other especially in baseball (Screw the Red Sox, i'm a Yankees fan ). I think it would be cool if you were walking around the Boston area and somebody said "Hey you Slavic Prick, go back down to Liberty City!" I've been to Boston in real life, and i think it's a pretty nice city, so i think it would be a pretty good choice for the downloadable content especially since the Irish mob is there. That would mean tensions between the Liberty City McReary family and the GTA-Boston Irish Family. Or they could put Carcer City in there, or just a Long Island or Staten Island. I do hope its a new city though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
