Downloadable content for 360 pushed out to 2009?

[chitoryu12]

I'm sure Rockstar is putting all resources to the pc version due out in Novemeber.(but pc users need to calm it down a bit, the're getting it 6 months later without the upcoming 360 DLC)

 

After the pc release, then Rockstar will work on the DLC #1 the priority, and probably release it in Feb/March 09'.

 

And it all makes sense, because they will see what gamers like in SR2, and probably add in the same sort of feature set into the DLC.

 

I'd rather they wait until IV is releaased on the pc and the release of SR2, to work on the DLC #1.

 

I'd much rather have a great DLC #1 in March 09', rather then a so-so/good DLC in Novemeber 08'.

That would make sense. PC needs simple mod support to get the right fan base (I would imagine that GTA IV would allow for a lot more with mods due to the enhanced graphics and physics engine), and also needs to be optimized to work on any number of PC configurations smoothly.

To be honest I might have moved on from GTA4 by then. I still play ALOT of multiplayer but it will eventually wear thin especially when Gears of War 2 comes out. 

 

I doubt I will even bother paying the money for DLC as Microsoft are looking to do what they do best, rip people off....

GoW 2? Oh, you mean that game that, like Halo, has a sequal almost exactly the same as the original, including graphics and most of the gameplay?

Have you played it?

 

It's so ignorant to put a game down or predict it before it has even came out and been reviewed and/or has been played by yourself.

 

Go away.

Kid, I could determine that Halo 3 would be just like Halo 2 and Halo 1 by gameplay videos. I've seen GoW 2 in action plenty. The fact that I have not played it does not mean under any circumstances that my opinion, based on verifiable data that anyone can see, is void.

you're just making it super obvious that you've never played gears. Gears 1 had few modes, huge host advantage, overpowered shotgun rushing, and a near useless assault rifle, and it was still the best multiplayer game I have ever played. Gears 2 will fix all of that and take the multiplayer from a rush-and-shotgun game to a tactical cover game, with more game modes and variety. The difference between Gears 1 and 2 is immense.

I do own Gears, and have since January of 2007 (I got it along with Guitar Hero II). I found it fun for two or three playthroughs, then went to multiplayer. I got bored with it quickly because the lag was worse than any of my other games despite having far less traffic than them. It wasn't fun at all, especially since everyone either sniped or rushed you with shotguns and chainsaws.

 

I have no reason to believe the sequel will be any superior. Just like Halo 3, which tried to add support equipment and balance out the weapons to make multiplayer better, still has the same tactics as Halo 2 and Halo 1, GoW 2 will have a few players from the first game who try to play tactically and intelligently, only to be overwhelmed by a bum rush of shotguns and grenades.

Can't shotgun rush at all in 2. If you're getting shot you can't move fast at all.

Good. Now what's to stop them from merely running around a corner and shotgunning you then? Most shotgun rushes I've faced simply had them run to my blind spot and shotgun me after coming around the corner. It was irritating as f*ck because it happened every other game and always ended the match. If they didn't have a shotgun, they would use the chainsaw, and if they didn't have either they would grenade spam.

 

Besides, the single player looks almost exactly the same. There were some new features that changed how the game is played, but it's really just the same old story and tactics.

If you're good at it, you won't leave a blind spot open, you'll be protected from every angle.

He maybe covering up on the behalf of R* Games. Or R* do not need Michael due to the lack of story.

There are going to be new missions involved, hopefully dealing with loose ends like the fate of Bulgarin and Badman's increasing paranoia.

 

 

[Rown]

I want to finish the Bulgarin line so badly.

 

Hopefully some more random friends thrown in for good measure... but Bulgarin needs to die.

 

And hidden vehicle: Rhino... if it can be realistically written in.

 

My wishlist complete... time to run around until some other random post causes me to react.

Not possible in practice. If the whole enemy team shotgun rushes from blind spots, it'll be a one-sided slaughter, and not of them. If there's one person that's being attacked, they would have to back into a corner to avoid any blind spots.

 

Moreover, even with the whole team facing every entryway, all you need to do is send one guy in firing. Players in any online game, including Gears, want to make kills, so as soon as one guy appears firing a shotgun at point-blank range, they'll all turn to shoot at him, at which point someone can come in through the undefended blind spot.

 

However, this is really off-topic. I think we should continue this discussion in another thread.

They might put a new character with new theme, in liberty city.

My money's on playing as Johnny of the Lost biker gang. He was alongside Niko in two missions and was a part of the diamond storyline. I bet we play his side of that storyline. Look up his actor and see if he's done anything recently.

It's likely. Wasn't there a rumor a few weeks ago about the DLC's first episode having you play a biker? Also, he completely disappeared after the diamond theft, if I'm remembering correctly. It would be a good way to wrap up his thread of the story.

I thought he screwed Niko as well, didn't he take either the money or the diamonds(can't remember at this point) and run, while Isaac took the other one and ran?

Yeah. He took the $2 million in cash while Isaac got the diamonds. He never appeared since.

I perosnally would like to see weapon modding in mulitplayer where you get money through ranking up to get gun upgrades. Sights, Silencer, Drum Clips with extra ammo for assault rifles.

I would love to see that. When You get rewards for challendes and stuff it makes you want to progress

[jeebus_unit]

I want the option to turn off all XBOX Live mics in multiplayer with the push of ONE BUTTON!!! One button plz so I don't have to mute a ton of users.

 

There should be three modes for multiplayer chatter at the beginning of each match FOR ALL OPPONENTS.

 

A) Everyone muted

B) Hear only your friends

C) Hear everyone

 

If you're not the party leader you get stuck listening to a room full of arguing sh*theads. I'm tired of throwing my earpiece on my couch in mid-match haha.

[GTA3Freak-2001]

I'm pretty sure it's always been 2009, everywhere that I've read about  the exclusive DLC mentions 2009. I didn't even think 08 was confirmed.

They have stated a few months back that DLC will probably come only during the beginning of 2009. And this make sense as they probably want to separate it from the PC release.

Actually it was said the 1st quarter of 09 which with Rockstar covers October of this year to March or April of 09. Still we probably won't see it until 09, but hey who knows.

That's twice as long as a quarter should be. Sure it's not more like Nov1-Jan31, then Feb1-Apr30 as two separate quarters? Didn't GTA4 come out the day before Take-Two's 2nd financial quarter for 2008 ended?
