RedEnd Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 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. Yeah, i can still imagine myself at www.rockstargames.com/IV reading "all the rich expirence to the PC" LOL. even that a year has passed.

Chris1508 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Yes there will be a dlc trust me very soon Edit for got to back myself up in this statement: "Today we released a Maintenance Update for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV. This update ensures all copies of the game are properly aligned for the next gold master build pressing" Sounds like something big doesn't it Edited August 11, 2009 by Chris1508 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/412979-dlc-for-the-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1059412396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojimbo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 there wont be any dlc for pc,its unfortunate i know seeing as i am a pc user.this happened with prince of persia,there was,and still is afaik a big stink about it,but out of 9 Billion spent on computer games in 2008 only 900 mill was spent on pc games,that is the fact,apart from deals between the makers and xbox etc,unless someone steps in and produces the cash to make a dlc for pc,it aint gonna happen.

CharmingCharlie Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 but out of 9 Billion spent on computer gamesin 2008 only 900 mill was spent on pc games,that is the fact I hate it when people band that figure about, it is highly inaccurate to lump all the consoles together and go "oh well the consoles bring in 8.1 billion but the PC only brings in 900 million. The 9 billion figure includes sales from the Nintendo DS, PSP, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and PS3. So the 8.1 billion is actually spread over SEVEN different unique platforms. After all you can't play an xbox game on a PS3 unless the developer makes the game twice for the 360 and PS3. Rather than lumping all the consoles together and going "there see the PC isn't profitable" if you look at companies that do a "decent" job of supporting the PC with titles that target the PC's strengths the picture is totally different. Electronic arts recently released their latest fiscal figures and a breakdown of how much each platform earns for them. It was as followed :- Nintendo Wii made EA $161 million PC made EA $124 million PS3 made EA $121 million 360 made EA $73 million source That's right the PC beat out both the PS3 and the 360. This shows one thing, a company that puts in a bit of work on the PC platform will be rewarded with sales. However this is about the DLC on the PC and we will get TLaD sooner or later on the PC. As I have said there is no legal or contractual problem with the PC getting it (like there is with the PS3). Technically it wouldn't be a major job to convert the DLC to the PC (if they have to do any work at all) and finally MS will want to get "value for money". As soon as MS feel that the DLC is no longer of any value on the 360 they will try and use it to prop up GFWL. All we have to do is sit patiently, let Rockstar and MS play their little game of "exclusivity" then enjoy TLaD when it comes out.

Dcrysis02 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I may be getting a DLC only and only if they create unique PC content. No ported sh*t, only unique PC content. Yeah, a few more tweaks in TLaD would be welcome. I would be greatful if they make improvements to the video editor,(new options, faster rendering...) put in more diverse graphics settings, and if by any chance, they could optimize the game a bit more.....that would be worth it. Though i believe R* Toronto will have a very limited budget to do all this.

faro0485 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 here take these this might help http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lost-and-damned-unlocked It's not really TLaD though, just want to let everyone know. The mod has been posted many times and it's not really TLaD. Just wanna let everyone know . On - Topic: I haven't really posted in here, but regarding the DLC with PC, I still think it's possible. With the Fallout 3 DLC, it was exclusive to PC and 360, but then over time. It went to PS3, so yes. It is possible, but I don't think it will be hapenning anytime soon. And if you try to install that dlc to the PC, it'll mess up your original bikes.

CharmingCharlie Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 It will be some time before we hear about the Lost and Damned on the PC. We have to remember that MS wants us all to get excited about the 2nd DLC for the xbox. We may get "lucky" and hear about it before the 2nd DLC is released but I doubt it. So really you shouldn't expect to hear anything till after the 2nd DLC has come out on the xbox 360.

CharmingCharlie Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Old! 2nd DLC is out and getting pretty old. If you are going to post at least try and make a bit of sense . The 1st DLC was The Lost and Damned which came out 17th February 2009. The 2nd DLC which is entitled The Ballad of Gay Tony is not due out till 29th October 2009. So I am not sure what you mean buy "2nd DLC is out and getting pretty old".

CharmingCharlie Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have always been of the belief that it's MS that is controlling this DLC, they get to decide who and what gets it. I don't believe Microsoft will keep the DLC off the PC indefinitely that isn't in their interests. I do believe we can expect to wait at least as long as xbox 360 users had to wait between the release of GTA 4 and TLaD. Now if memory serves there was a 10 month gap between the xbox getting TLaD after GTA 4 was released. I can imagine MS making PC gamers wait the same amount of time from when GTA 4 was released on the PC. That would take is to the end of September beginning of October. Now since the 2nd DLC is out in October I can't see us getting anything for the PC in that month. The chances are it will probably be late November possibly December before we get it on the PC to coincide with the Christmas season. As you probably figured out this is all guesswork, I am 99% confident we will see the DLC on the PC the only question is when. I personally don't care how long it has been out on the 360 all I care about is playing Lost and Damned on the PC. I can't wait to play TLaD with decent graphics Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/412979-dlc-for-the-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1059441570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmingCharlie Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 nice find their AirWolf856 (love the username btw, fellow Airwolf fan here too). I know both DLC's will eventually come to the PC in my mind the only question now is WHEN. I am hoping we might hear something soon but at the moment I imagine Microsoft doesn't want the spotlight taken off the DLC for the Xbox 360.

AirWolf856 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I really hope that R* has invested some time in an anti-cheat for the PC. Or at least give the host the ability to immediate kick or ban with the ban list stored in an editable file. There are just too many grievers out there and it only takes one to ruin a good session of Team Mafia. I can't wait for more GTA IV!!!

Hydro_PT Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It won't, it won't! Microsoft paid 50 million for the DLCs!! You will never play them on the PC or PS3! Get over it, buy a Xbox to play. - by any 360 fanboy I can't wait to play TLAD and TBOGT on the PC. And then look at these posts and laugh really hard! I'm sure they will come, sooner or later. Probably we will get an announcement about that after the second DLC is released, maybe in December or something. First they must make it sell on the 360... so they can only announce it on the PC when the sales of both DLCs get lower. If they announce it now, a lot of people would probably wait for it on the PC instead of buying the 360 version.
