Rumor: GTA 4 DLC Includes Entirely New Cities
by Steve Gibson, Apr 19, 2008 6:45pm PDTIn case you were still on the fence about buying href="http://www.shacknews.com/tag.x/Grand+Theft+Auto+4">Grand Theft Auto IV
you thought one city just wasn't enough fun to explore, you may just have to
reconsider.
A recent CVG print article
taking a look at GTA IV has some exciting news regarding Rockstar's plans for future downloadable content. Here is the quote via href="http://www.gamervision.com/gamer/veggie_jackson/news/article/rumour_gta_iv_dlc_will_be_new_cities_">Gamervision
"Of course to call games as vastly ambitious as Vice City or San Andreas mere
'expansion packs' seems childish, but nevertheless, the downloadable content coming for
the Xbox 360 version of [GTA IV] has repositioned those games in just this way.
"[GTA IV's expansions] are to GTA IV what Vice City or San Andreas were GTA III. Yes,
Rockstar is clearly hinting at new downloadable cities; and the chances of them being
London, Vice City or SA again are slim to none. So that's new as in brand new. GTA IV's
Liberty City is the beginning. Think about that and be excited."
Considering that Grand Theft Auto IV is already expected
to bust through $400 million in sales before a single expansion is released, publisher Take-Two can surely see the profit train on the horizon.

Nobody from Rockstar have confirmed anything about what the DLC will be. And I find it highly unlikely that they'll create whole cities just for DLC's come on! The only thing they have said is that "it will be worth the money" that does not mean it can't be episodic content or just some new island you unlock. I'll be buying it for my PS3 for multiplayer (all my friends have PS3's, I only know one other person who has a 360 - we're from Denmark, we are weird that way) and if the content then turns out to be this overwhelming, then sure, I'll get it for 360 as well. But I doubt it very much.
Thats what gamings about...

When the next-generation consoles come out, can we migrate our DLC?
Changes are the next-gen consoles will have backwards compatibility with on-disc games (at least the MS and Nintendo ones; Sony don't seem to give a shit about BC lately), but what about all the downloaded games we have invested in from Xbox Live Marketplace and Wii Virtual Console?
If all of that stuff vanishes or has to be bought again then that is going to fucking suck. It pissed me off enough that Apple wanted me to buy the cheap Sudoku etc. again when I upgraded from my 5.5gen iPod to an iPod classic. I've invested a lot more money in my Xbox, Wii and PS3 downloads.

The airport makes perfect sense here.. You can make as many cities as you want once you have the ability to buy a ticked and board an airplane. The core gameplay and engine are complete, additional cities won't take as much time as developing the entire game from scratch (although additional voice work, mostly Niko/main characters, are needed if not already done).

i'm sure the DLC is going to rock, but they won't be whole new cities aka entirely new games you are going to download. i can't see rockstar being that ambitious with ADD-ON content when they could sell it as another stand-alone $60 game. who comes up with this shit :(
