Rumor: GTA 4 DLC Includes Entirely New Cities

by Steve Gibson, Apr 19, 2008 6:45pm PDT

In case you were still on the fence about buying

href="http://www.shacknews.com/tag.x/Grand+Theft+Auto+4">Grand Theft Auto IV because

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.

  • You guys are way overreacting here. This is a rumor and should be treated as such.
    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.
