Rumor: GTA 4 PS3 DLC leaked |
Ó
With the Xbox 360 version of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 4 getting quite the downloadable content pack (i.e. episodic content), it's a bit hard to figure out how the Sony PlayStation 3 version would catch up in that department. Well, it seems that while PS3 owners may not be getting the same kind of extra goodies as their Xbox 360 counterparts are, they WILL be getting some. Just what exactly, they don't quite say.
This comes from a scanned page of the latest issue of the PlayStation World Magazine. In the scanned page, an article talks about how the GTA IV development team's own Jeronimo Barrera let slip the deal that the Sony PS3 will be getting its own downloadable content. The buck stops there - everything else that follows is pure rumor.
But since this article itself is filed under the rumor category, let's indulge ourselves. In the scanned article, they mention two possible outcomes: one is that Microsoft only paid for time exclusivity and not outright exclusivity, so that what Xbox 360 owners can enjoy right off the bat, PlayStation 3 owners will also be able to enjoy, but in a later date. The other outcome is a bit more realistic: that the PS3 downloadable content is in fact PlayStation Home unlockables.
Considering the fact that PlayStation Home will be one of the biggest online communities ever when it hits the world stage, Grand Theft Auto IV-themed goodies do make a whole lot of sense. How about GTA IV-themed apparel for your avatar? Vehicles? Posters, trailers, or soundtracks from the game you can listen to inside your own digital home - it's definitely one that would fit into the framework.
Of course, we do have to remind you that while the downloadable content is pretty much confirmed, what sort of content will we be able to get isn't. So until Sony puts out official word, we'll just have to wait.

Will the online even work when the game launches?
*fingers crossed*
Honestly I'd hate to see it happen.. but the trend is pretty clear.. PS3 online screws the pooch at launch.
Rockstar devs already said the ps3 will get episodic content too. I suppose it's not for the sake of us poor gamer but since it's gonna make big money (dah). Still, it will be different from the x360 stuff, since M$ paid for exclusive content. So Rockstar is doing episodic content for the ps3 that is different. I just hope it'll be as good as what the x360 will have. And I hope our episodic stuff won't be released on the x360 console...
Regarding PS3 GTA IV DLC... did you not see this?
http://ps3.qj.net/SCEA-marketing-VP-GTA-IV-big-enough-episodic-DLC-not-necessary/pg/49/aid/116948
let's just say, $50M is nothing less than it takes to make a 1/2 decent motion picture...let alone a video game. It's got to be a production deal for 360 and PC exclusivity. And, of course, the connection would be...the guy who pinned the deal now works for EA. But, of course, business people never conspire to profit. So...we'll just end it there. ;)
Because if it is just timed exclusivity, MS payed a stupidly outrageous price.
The story was the PS3 DLC wasn't episodic; but items like clothes and stuff; like The Godfather game. This isn't new news.
Its all BS. They put the whole article in the rumor section so that way when they identify Jeronimo Barrera no legal action can be taken. The only thing that could happen is Jeronimo could come out and say its all BS, but he won't and they know he won't because during crunch times like these with the upcoming release developer comments are more restricted by the publisher.
