DeeperRed Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 He's kinda right. You should only announce a release date when you are pretty sure you can reach it, Its better then just knocking dates back and back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OysterBarron Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 DLC now aiming for January, maybe. Link Pushing the release after Christmas is stupid in my opinion. although he noted it might move into the second quarter alongside Chinatown Wars. Regardless, the downloadable content is "close to completed." if it is almost completed then why the "by the end of january release date" I said before im not interested in the date that much, Exspecially when its just another push back, all i f*cking want is maybe a trailer and some screenshots you f*cking usless pieces of sh*t. sorry il calm down in a bit I just want something positive about the DLC for once not bad news about a delay after bad news about a delay.

Capricornus Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Bah, I am not surprised. I actually speculated this with some friends a few days ago. I am cool with it though, because as they said, they are focusing more on the quality than getting it released. I won't be getting my hopes up sky high, but yeah, let them focus on the quality of the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2thejdot Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 At least this way people can't come back later and complain about what was taken out of the DLC, because R* announced the contents prematurely. i'd rather they delay the announcement, and then actually deliver on everything they announce. It sounds good in theory, but that isn't how Rockstar operates. Instead they say absolutely nothing about the product, give IGN and the rest of those clowns a taste, and allow them to post talking about features that don't exist without correcting them. We're the only ones who lose out when we get the product and its not what we expected, because Rockstar wouldn't speak up and say "No, thats not in the game." Regardless, I haven't put this game in my console for over a month now. As long as I've still got side missions in Fallout 3 to complete, I don't see it ever getting played until the DLC is out. Thats the only reason why I still periodically check this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BigSlick Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 We should not even be discussing this. Am I the only one who thinks this is a cheap marketing ploy, to buy BACK the features that were in SA, and a couple of more, WHICH should of been in IV originaly?

The fact we have to pay for something we expected to get with it anyway. Bit of a c*nt. I just want a cool zombie mode, parachutes, maybe planes, new areas maybe and some decent clothes and weapons. most of those things were in GTA:SA. Makes you think that maybe R* just pushed the graphics side of the game rather than the fun and replayability. Shame really, they had it so good.

CookPassBabtridge Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Dillinger, for all the high and mightyness of your post, none of it relates to what you quoted. There are people who are pissed off about getting short changed on features to be charged for them months later.(most likely) Also without assumption, there would be no conversation on the forum!

spaceeinstein Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You can't really blame Rockstar for not implementing SA's features into GTA4. This is a completely new engine that was created from the ground up. It's even more difficult to implement features than it was in GTA3. You should be glad that you already have this much stuff in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what to say. I totally disagree with everything you said and I think you're a jerk. He's not being 'high and mighty', he made a very fair point. I agree with what you said Dillinger btw. And quit trying to go around giving helpful advice you ass. We know what we're discussing, we don't need you to remind us. It is YOU who's post contributes nothing. I think everyone here is assuming too much. We're all forgetting that Rockstar is a fantastic and class company who would not release a half finished game just to get more money out of us. I don't think they would or have ever done that. "Also without assumption, there would be no conversation on the forum!" Congratulations, you win the award the the dumbest, most retarded, most uneducated thing ever said in the the history of the universe ever.

OysterBarron Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 We're all forgetting that Rockstar is a fantastic and class company hahahhahahaha lol rofl. The founders of rockstar have always wanted to live the life of a rockstar hence the name. and what is a rockstar's main aim, to milk as much money out of there franchise as possible, until it dries up! did you ever play san andreas that was full of bugs, GTAIV is the best game in my opinion for lack of bugs, But this is just through the lack of gameplay elements that are not present in the game to cause bugs. and it is still possible to go under the map in GTAIV.

Slamman Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 DMA or Direct Mind Access is the former company. When the Houser brothers moved into game design, the name change happened. From BMG to Rockstar, and Rockstar North.... Toranto, Leeds, etc... I think I read in print recently that the DLC will drop in January or early next year. Reasoning that Dan Houser gave is that Rockstar's staff don't rush anything they've worked on, and that appears to be something WE ALL have to live with. Quit bitching to the rest of us. Quality takes time, it cannot be rushed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TECHN9CiAN Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 What if the DLC comes prepackaged in the PC version? Kind of like a little incentive to the PC users. That would be nice... and I could believe that. After all, it was Microsoft who payed for all that DLC stuff, right? Still, there's the chance that if the PC version gets all the DLC extras, it may end up as a downloadable patch or something that you'd have to still pay for... I don't know.

Slamman Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I had to learn to spell, and after all, the EDIT button is very handy. Just help people who aren't fluent pick up correct English. I mean, being accused of bad English, that made me laugh, really! On Topic, it maybe next year, as stated. I think they expressed with that Nintendo Power interview that the plan is to take the time needed to make all GTA aspects quality, after all...as Dan said himself, we get one shot at this, there's no recall to program it again if it's messed up as a final product.

It's already confirmed that the PC version does not include the DLC content. It doesn't look like the DLC will even be out for the 360 when the PC version releases. Microsoft's whole point of paying $50 million was to give people a reason to choose the 360 over the PS3, so they're not going to let it be anywhere else for long while.

Microsoft's whole point of paying $50 million was to give people a reason to choose the 360 over the PS3, so they're not going to let it be anywhere else for long while. Most previews confirm this. The PC version (gameplay wise) will be exactly the same as console version of the game. Edited November 17, 2008 by mkey82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
