AnthMUFC-Champs Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) http://www.gtagaming.com/news/comments.php?i=1848 With a lack of Grand Theft Auto titles out this Holiday Season it appears Rockstar are planning to bundle Grand Theft Auto IV along with The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony into one package called Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition for only $39.99. As revealed from the Amazon listing the bundle is only on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 with no PC version is sight for now. The release date listed on the website is for the 26th of October. Good news for fans without the game however i wont be getting it.

Levindski Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Obviously I'd rather have a V. But it's good to see Rockstar still caring about their fans.

Narcis_speed6 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 26 octomber? why does it take so long to pack up all content on a disc? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/460472-gta-iv-eflc-the-complete-edition/#findComment-1060151551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickeX Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 26 octomber? why does it take so long to pack up all content on a disc? Well first obviously they had to make the descision. We don't know when that was made. Then they have to figure out how they're going to do it... Market it, etc... How menus and such is going to look like, and then the packaging including boxart and designing the disc prints (as they're most likely are going to be looking different from the IV and EFLC discs). And of course in between all of that, there's problably people working on sorting out bugs and glitches and fixing other stuff in the games themself that needs fixing And then when everything's done they still need to get ESRB ratings, and then also get a couple of milion copys printed and sent out to the stores before it can go on sale. So yeah. And why ask why it's taking so long? They're making this to offer customers a good deal, another package to choose from. It's problably not going to be all to expensive either. $50-$70 i bet.

meson1 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Well obviously this is just a packaging up of the three games. What would be really cool is if they unified the maps. That is, so all elements such as the Lost Clubhouse, Maisonette9, Hercules, all the safe houses and their parking spaces appear on the same map and look the same in all three games. (This does not mean all safe houses are available to all three protagonists, though the parking spaces could be). Also to unify the vehicles so that all vehicles are available in all three games too. Unifying the weapons would be cool too, but that might be a stretch too far. Also adjust the appearances of all the various characters in all three games so that they all look consistent (i.e. the fully developed versions). As I say, it would be cool and would make it worth buying. But it's not going to happen. Not really worth mentioning I suppose. [Edit:] That said. There's an idea: "GTA:IV - The Impossible Trinity Edition" Designed to unify elements from all three games and perhaps include a feature to let you switch characters to let you play all three games in chronological order.

Mr.Anonymous Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If they're going to release a PC version of the Complete Edition, then they're probably also going to release another patch for IV and EFLC. But I'm sure there's a hint to the next GTA in the manual. The same thing was said about the PC and PS3 versions of EFLC before they were released, so I doubt it.

SilentSeas Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's equal to Grand Theft Auto III collection. Bye Bye IV! NOT This. Just because R* are releasing all three stories together in one pck, it doesn't mean the IV era is over. The III era's loose ends are all tied up where as there are still plenty of questions to be answered in the IV era.

Jabalous Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) It's equal to Grand Theft Auto III collection. Bye Bye IV! NOT This. Just because R* are releasing all three stories together in one pck, it doesn't mean the IV era is over. The III era's loose ends are all tied up where as there are still plenty of questions to be answered in the IV era. There are always questions that still unanswered in every story whether it's a video game or a movie. For Example, a regular story in a movie, in which the hero finds a treasure after a journey in an unpopulated island and it ends by a scene showing him going back to his home in a plane. The viewers will keep making up questions about what he will do with the treasure and what will happen after 10 years of his life and so on. These questions will be considered unanswered by the fans of the movie, but in fact, there's no reason to reach this level of answering questions since the story writer put an end to the story otherwise he will keep writing forever. The same thing with GTA IV which in fact doesn't have unanswered questions anymore. We all have already known what happened to the diamonds, but other players think that the story writers will extend the story about them and that's why a lot of players think that GTA Next will set in Vice City in order to complete the story of the diamonds which we all know that Jerry Kapowitz got them and planned to travel to Vice City and open his own weapons store. That could be right and we may travel to Vice City next , but there's no forcing reason to do so. For me, I would rather have a new and fresh story rather than going back to the diamonds again. I'm almost sure that GTA IV with its DLCs are meant to be equal to GTA III and its sequels which are Vice City and San Andreas. As a matter of fact, the amount of contents that have been added in TLAD and TBOGT exceed the amount of contents that have been added to Vice City. VC could have been a DLC for GTA III since it didn't add too much in terms of the gameplay, in other words it's just an extension of III and the same thing is applied to San Andreas. However, III, VC and SA are weakly based on each other in terms of the story, the relationship between them is limited within the comeback of few characters that they don't even play big roles in the story like the existence of Claude in San Andreas, who has been shown for a small amount of time in a cutscene. IV, TLAD and TBOGT are strongly based on each other. If you didn't play IV, then you wouldn't be able to understand the story of the two DLCs. They share very big amount of story contents from the diamonds to the heroes themselves, in other words, the happenings in IV's Liberty City are totally connected and are meant to form a trilogy which is formed from 3 separate games in the eyes of Rockstar Games. The only thing I can say is that we should get ready for GTA V which I believe will be a very big step more than we imagine!

Nefarious Money Man Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 This seems pretty pointless if its true since most people already have all three games either on a disc or on their hard drive. If it means that The Lost Mc clubhouse, Hercules and Maisonette 9 along with all safehouse parking spaces etc. as well as the complete soundtrack (unlikely) appear in this version of GTA IVannilla then I might just get it. Also will all of the games appear on one disc?? Somehow I doubt it since it would probably cause the xbox to explode.

Niall Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Well damnit I will have to get this too, to keep my GTA collection complete. The thing I am hoping for is re-licensing of the music. The DLC on the Xbox was able to combine ALL the music in every episode, but with the EFLC disc they didn’t want to spend the money to license the IV music all over again, so I'm hoping for ALL the stations to be together as one like it should have been in the first place.

MrcTOtheJ Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 At least R* still cares about GTA fans lol. but I most likely won't be getting this unless all of the features of TBoGT and TLAD carry over to each other and IV, mainly because, I want to drive the new cars in IV and go to Maisonette 9 with Roman and Niko's other friends.

Magic_Al Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I purchase for a computer store and can confirm that this is listed at distributors other than Amazon. The UPCs are 710425398711 (Xbox 360) and 710425378720 (PS3). July 2009 artwork prediction fail. I will get this if: It is a single disc. It uses the final, TBOGT version of the Liberty City map for all three games. It has a combination of all radio stations from GTA IV and EFLC available in all three games. Any current GTA IV/DLC/EFLC user buying this would get an upgraded experience. Niko would get the updated city, able to see the nightclubs' and biker clubhouses' exteriors, and presumably the new lobby and top of the Rotterdam Tower among other changes. Xbox 360 TLAD DLC users who held off buying EFLC will also get an updated map and gain multiplayer compatibility with EFLC. EFLC users would gain the GTA IV radio stations/music and Niko's story. It's possible that Niko would also be able to listen to Vice City FM for the first time, as well as Self-Actualization FM and RamJam FM, although the latter two could possibly be merged with The Journey and Tuff Gong or Massive B (except Tuff Gong and Massive B are real record labels who provided their music, so merging might not be acceptable). If all stations were included the game would have a bigger radio dial than any previous version. There should also be a merging of television and Internet content. If this is the proper, archival version of the GTA IV era I think it will be hard to pass up. However, it could be a two-disc bundle of the existing GTA IV and EFLC discs and no new features. It could even be just the original GTA IV disc with free DLC codes, although some might say the "EFLC" title is misleading then due to lack of EFLC exclusives. It's important to note that if Niko's map is updated, it would break multiplayer compatibility with the original GTA IV! This is a strong argument against GTA IV being updated unless Rockstar puts out a free DLC update for everybody to restore compatibility. Sadly, I think this makes the scenario unlikely.

meson1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Magic_Al: This is what I alluded to in my post earlier in this thread. If they did a GTA:IV: Impossible Trinity Edition as you and I described, it would definitely be a seller. I'd buy it, for sure, despite the fact that I already own the original GTA:IV and EFLC. I'm guessing it wouldn't take too much work as pretty much all of the content already exists. I think the opportunity is there for Rockstar to make a little more money out of GTA:IV.

Mokrie Dela Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 TBH i'm not interested in this at all. I have IV and the DLC's. I havn't played IV or the DLC for ages, except when my gf can't do the missions. I'm actually more interested in True Crime (HK) then this. I LOVE gta, but this, i couldnt care less. a new DLC would be much better....
