But i still have my hopes up.If Microsoft is the greedy corporation as before, it will want to get more cash out of the DLC's, and what better way to do that is to release it for the PC?Hell, maybe even we'll see the DLC's on the PS3, i can even imagine a simultaneous launch to cripple the PS3 sales a bit.

Why does everyone want DLC so bad? I don't understand it...

 

I want sequels! Not downloadable content. And every new DLC they make just means it's even longer and longer untill the next GTA.

 

You're all basically wanting Rockstar to release more DLC, and for PC, so Rockstar can make even more money without having to make a sequel. confused.gif

 

DLC is just a fast, easy and cheap way for them to make more money from gamers, as they don't have to go to the bother of making a whole new city.

RockStar North is the leading GTA franchise developer.RockStar Toronto does the porting.So North just makes it for consoles, and the other studio does the porting, thus North can(and will) make GTAV after TBoGT is complete.As we know, M$ and R$ only agreed to make two exclusive DLC chapters.

Gotta think about this for a sec!!!!!!!!!

 

Since Microsoft bought rights to the two downloadable contents for GTA 4 for the Xbox 360 then there will be a possibility they will be available for the PC.

For that reason, and because a R* employee said this:

 

Rockstar:" Rockstar Games rewards loyal, paying customers and will offer incentives and downloadable content that will only be available to registered users of the game, running non-hacked copies, via Rockstar Games Social Club."

 

So.Either they said it to make more people buy the game, to make themselfs look good at that time because of all the negativity surrounding the release, or to make PC gamers get the feeling that they won't be neglected, and that they care for us.

 

Anyway, i would sure love to talk to the guy who said this.I would rub it in his face.Where's our DLC now, huh?If you admitted that we will get the DLC, why lie now that it's either X exclusive, or not coming at all?We will find out sooner or later if it has been cancelled so what the fudge?And if they made a deal with M$ that they can't say a word, he already blew that by saying we will get DLC....

Nietzsche's God

PC gamers: just admit it. Why divorce yourselves from the reality that R* signed a contract with Microsoft X-Box 360 (mind you that it is a different department than Microsoft games) to only give out DLCs only for Microsoft X-Box 360 for the duration of what the contract holds. Don't know how long it is, but I can assure you that it is for the time being till the contract end on whatever specific date. So speculate all you want on what the date will be - and stop being senile about that till a legitimate announcement is confirmed by R* themselves that other platforms is going to be recieving the DLCs.

 

So to put it plainly - STFU

The reality is that Microsft = Xbox = Windows. If they wanted to amend the contract they would.

 

Now, particular opinion. My favorite games are generally released to PC. I'd love to play GTALCS and GTAVCS, and now GTA4TLAD and GTA4TBOGT, but due to their contract with Sony that time, and with Microsoft now, a PC version wasn't released. If I'm the only customer they think they lost, and no incoming was missed, it's their business. I'm not lacking PC games neither. But of course I'd buy them if they were released on PC.

 

Just a note: until mid-2008, nothing was known about GTA4 on PC, but things changed.

It's logical for a game company to release the DLC only for one platform, less development time and a sweet 'exclusive' deal with the platform manufacturer.

Ofcourse a console is ideal for game companies, always sure that the product runs because all hardware setups are the same, almost no pirating, etc.

Rockstar obviously prefers Microsoft these days (PS3 slowed down IV development, Games for Windows LIVE etc: 1+1 = 2! They target it at the Xbox360! smile.gif

Haha, actually 360 games are pirated like hell. It's just that M$ likes to act like this isn't happening and only think that PC games get pirated.

 

The more of these "exclusive" stuff they keep to themselves, more 360 games and DLCs will be pirated.

Not even close to the numbers being pirated on PC.

Rockstar:" Rockstar Games rewards loyal, paying customers and will offer incentives and downloadable content that will only be available to registered users of the game, running non-hacked copies, via Rockstar Games Social Club."

 

This is what I read a while ago when GTA IV PC was just comming out. I think we are going to get a boxed copy of the 2 DLC's for PC eventually. I would think Rockstar wants to milk this as much as they can, so why not give it to PC. They already have the game running on PC, and its a lot better then when it launched. It seems like a smart move to port the DLC, clean it up and sell it to PC gamers, even if it is a year after. I'll buy it, I love Liberty City.

Also I e-mail rockstar about that quote and if we will get any DLC, but of course I've heard nothing.

Rockstar has also said "The DLC is exclusive to the 360" when they were asked SPECIFICALLY about the DLC and the PC. At the end of the day that is as much as anyone knows. I get the impression that whether the DLC comes to the PC is also down to MS and they have a history of keeping games and content off the PC to give their sh*tbox an advantage.

Well said, but i think Microsoft loves one thing better than the good old S**tbox.And that's money.If they can make a bit of money off the DLC for PC, i think they will do it.Especially if it comes out for PS3.

A question that has already asked has not been answered.

Why does everybody DLC PC so bad?

Only a new story and a penis and some bikes where you can unlock without the DLC.

Im a bit annoyed by pple who's moaning while R* already said.

We all know Microsoft suck asses and Microsoft must stop

sh*t and crap like this and fix their damned "Always need Internet"

R* is getting f*cked up too with their super horrible bugs in GTA4.

I dont think there will come GTA VI.

Face the truth, R* got blowjobs from M$ to get DLC only exclusively for Xf*cksh*t360.

I dont understand.

PC IS a PLATFORM, Consoles too.

 

-Personal Computer

-Xbox360

-PlayStation3

 

3 "superior" platforms.

They should get exactley all contents and all.

PS3 got periode content, Xbox360 DLC and PC Nothing.

Thats the worstest aspect ever on the stinking planet.

PC is powerfull and superior.

But yeah, always cocksoles and MicrogreasballsDickSoft are the first confused.gif

Erm the PS3 has received no additional content the same as the PC. The only platform that has received additional content is the xbox 360. As for why people want the DLC, I would have thought it is pretty obvious we are fans of GTA 4 and we want to play any new content that has anything to do with the game. I know I would love to play the DLC and if it ever comes to the PC I will be first in line to buy it.

I know that Charlie.But IF it comes out for the PS3, Microsoft has a chance to cripple the sales a bit if it releases the DLC for the PC."Why?" You ask?Because that way it can make money, there is a chance that the PC and PS3 owners buy it for the PC instead of the PS3.The PC version comes with a few advantages, so maybe they will buy that.There are players with a PC and a PS3 you know.And M$ and $ony try to hurt each other wherever they can.

It won't be coming out for the PS3 that is my point, ignore the rumours (which were started by a PS3 mag mercie_blink.gif ). It will be an incredibly LONG time before it ever comes to the PS3 if it ever does. Microsoft paid a pretty hefty price for this DLC and they will want to ensure the DLC is sh*tbox only for as long as they can.

 

Now it is slightly more feasible that MS will allow the DLC to come out on the PC to boost interest in it's flagging GFWL service, but that will be the only reason why MS will allow the DLC on the PC because they have already ensured it won't come to the PS3.

 

Now I am not a big fan of these "exclusivity" deals but at the end of the day MS is the one that stumped up the cash and they are the ones calling the shots and it will be a cold day in hell before they let the DLC appear on the PS3, but there is a slight chance they may allow it on the PC.

That's the same thing I thought. PS3, unfortunatelly, is not very likely to have the content. But PC (Microsoft = Xbox = Windows) still has a small chance. We can only wait...

 

Off-topic, this signature "blows"... biggrin.gif

Take Two Interactive got a multimillion dollar deal with Microsoft to make this DLC content for 360 only.

 

You want to know why we get sh*tty ports? GTAIV, CoD: World at War to name a couple out of countless games that run and look like sh*t on the PC.

 

There is no money in the PC market anymore. People are too inept and judging from the daily threads about how bad someone's copy of GTAIV runs on their GeForce 6150 GO only reinforces this.

 

Besides that, piracy is killing the PC gaming scene.
