Karooo Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 PlayStation 3 owners have seriously missed out when it comes to downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV but it seems Rockstar is about to remedy that lacking. Better late than never, right? You know, if it's even true. As most of you know, the likes of The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have only been made available for the Xbox 360 while the PS3 has been left out in the cold. In the past, we had heard rumors that Rockstar intended to deliver this DLC to owners of Sony's machine; after all, we're only talking about a timed exclusivity deal with Microsoft. Well, Rockstar has supposedly announced that both aforementioned downloadable episodes will finally arrive on the PS3 in 2010. Best of all, as a sort of "thank you for waiting" prize, PS3 players will also receive an exclusive piece of DLC, although we have no details on that just yet. Rockstar boss Dan Houser revealed as much during his simple statement to the press: "We are proud to announce that both episodic experiences - and a new one - will be available for the PS3. We cannot wait for people to play it." Yeah, well, you had better hope that people are still looking for DLC nearly two years after the game released (the game launched in April 2008). Again, though, the statement from Houser and the "announcement" aren't official; we've heard nothing from any actual PR source and the site in question doesn't provide a source, either. Perhaps there's just too much of a time gap but at the same time, maybe that's a good thing. If you haven't revisited GTAIV in a while, you might be itching to do so and this new DLC will act as the perfect excuse. http://rockstargames.blogcindario.com/fich...newswirefi.html http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/6369.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Not really surprising. They already mentioned they were pretty disappointed with the sales of the last DLC and the disc version on the 360. I dont think they would do much better on the PS3 either. Meh. What we need is a new Saints row game. Whats the holdup THQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Oh my what a surprise I totally did not see this coming Btw, interesting that they mention a third episode. FFS Rockstar! Enough GTA4 episodes. Get to work on San Andreas 2 already. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 The fact that not many people bought the last one? Timing sucked imho. Really? I remember hearing it did pretty good. Or was that the first one? Its a pity if the SR franchise tanks. It was miles ahead of GTA in every gameplay aspect imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HundredProofSam Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Is there a PS3 version in English? No, but there are two on PS2. PS2 should be fine right? PS2 is hardcore; PS3 is for n00bs peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HundredProofSam Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Saints Row 2 is an Xbox 360 Classics title. Don't they need to sell well to get Classics status? peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 HOLY f**k sh*t YESSSS !!!!!! please be true, please be true, please be f**kING TRUE. i spent a lot of time thinking past 2 weeks to whether to go for a PC or a 360. mass effect and gta 4 episodes were the 2 main games i desperately wanted to play that were not on PS3 but as GTA 4 was a sad port on pc (thereby meaning the episodes too might suffer the same if they were to come for windows), i was having a hard time deciding. if this comes to sony then i can not only play the awesome gay tony (and that biker one too) but also start saving for a PC in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
