Second GTA 4 Expansion Tells 'The Ballad of Gay Tony'
by Nick Breckon, May 26, 2009 1:06pm PDT
Rockstar today announced "The Ballad of Gay Tony," the second expansion for the fabulous Grand Theft Auto IV.
"The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime," says Rockstar of the title.
"As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."
The Xbox 360-exclusive DLC hits this fall for 1600 Microsoft Points ($20). As with first expansion, The Lost and Damned, Gay Tony will require Grand Theft Auto IV to run.
Also announced was Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, a disc-based bundle including both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The package is priced at $40, and will not require users to own the original game.

THIS MATERIAL IS ONLY FOR THE XBOX RIGHT?..
WHY HASN'T THE PS3 BEEN GIVEN ANY EXPANSIONS YET.. AND IF THAT IS FOR THE PS3
I AM SO ANGRY..
WHY... IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON ROCKSTAR IS FAVORING THE XBOX.. BECAUSE ROCKSTAR DOESN'T ALWAYS GIVE OUT A DATE FOR RELEASE AND FOR WHAT EVER PLATFORM IS GOING TO GET GAY TONY..
IF THAT... expansion pack is the only expansion pack they release for the PS3.. i will never buy another rockstar game again.. RockStar/take2 sure has its suggested themes but ya know.. you have to think about the players.. who cares about the manufacturer of the platform.. thats just gay...
The ballad of GAY Tony.. thats gay..
right that..

Apart from the obvious controversy (oh shit! when rockstar stops being shocking they're gonna have to start working on gameplay instead!), isn't most of the playerbase for this game either a) little kids who would be so insecure about their sexuality that this game would confuse and anger them, and b) scummy little scalls who beat up gay people for a laugh.
Also the logo makes me melancholic for Vice City :(

GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony has the word "Gay" in the title, as well as a rainbow.
Goddammit I love Rockstar. Instead of shying away from controversial content in games in light of the Hot Coffee scandal, they're going to go ahead and push all of the boundaries for us. I'm sure the fallout over the title of this expansion will be epic (and like the Hot Coffee controversy, completely misinformed).
One of these days all the controversies in gaming will be over and done with and we'll wonder what the big deal was
