GTA DLC Heading For PS3?
Everybody loves a good rumour.Published 06/07/2009 at 16:00 by nofi
Episodes From Liberty City Delayed [27]
Rockstar Confirm PS3 Version Of GTA IV Episodes [94]
Hello, PS3 GTA IV DLC [62]
Everybody loves a good rumour, especially when it involves 360 exclusives appearing on the PS3, and especially when sites use words like “confirmed” – juicy. In this case, it’s the rumours that two additional DLC packs for the epic Grand Theft Auto IV are in development, and are heading to the PS3 (as well as the 360, obviously).
If you’ll remember, around E3 gossip was bubbling about something called “Blood and a Four Leaf Clover” and now PS3Informer is claiming that this will be the title of one of the DLC packs, which will be centred around the Irish family in the main GTA IV story thread.
Other analysts are backing up this story, suggesting that both expansions will be released in Fiscal 2010 – and better still – be followed by GTA V the next year. Everyone remembers the $50M ‘loan’ from Microsoft for the first two expansions to be 360 exclusive, but it looks likely that the PS3 will get it’s own slice of GTA goodness soon enough.

Not surprising that the PS3 is getting future GTAIV DLC.
Also shouldn’t it be ‘to be followed’ and not ‘be followed’?

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

I’m hoping the two first DLC’s will be released for PS3 also, I doubt MS have bought those as permanent exclusives or I’m hoping 50$ mill isn’t enough

Rockstar pretty much confirmed they have no plans of porting them, and that they were developed for the 360.

Exclusives for the 360 were only for 2 episodes, so it was technically confirmed that both consoles would see a 3rd DLC if there ever was one.

See how close to(if) GTA V this is released. might pick up GTAIV again at some point if this is true.
would be nice and seems to be following the trends (read Fallout3)

Sounds good, what would the pricing be do you think? Around £8 or more?

wow just what i needed, its beena slow day at work lol, and funny enough i was going to ask about GTA IV DLC on one of the forums today as I was seriously considering buying a 360 just for their exclusive
does this news mean that ps3 may be getting the first 2 episodes of dlc that went to 360 also… just really late (like with fallout 3) or are they still exclusives and this 3rd dlc is both both consoles?
gta 5 soon soon too?… wow better get the awp trophy before they turn off their server then
great news

Good luck with that Trophy.
Do you still have to play the game consecutively to earn it?
If so, you may be looking at quite a long day of gaming.

Dunno about the other DLC, but some Sony exclusive GTA DLC would be cool
Glad I still have GTA IV

Seems a little early for GTA5. I would think there would be more life in the 4 series, just like they have (very successfully) done in the past. Using the same engine for at least 2 spinoffs (GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas)which are all really GTA3 engine with tweaks….
Maybe the DLCs are suppose to replace this model, but with such a beautiful engine as 4 It seems like they would use it for a couple more games instead of starting over.

4 bored me too be honest. I didn’t find it half as fun as the others and consequently traded it in. I was really dissappointed.
So I’m not bothered about the DLC, but more on GTAV. If they can recapture the series’ trademarks and lose the whole seriousness, I might give the franchise another go.
Which is really sad, cause GTA3 is one of my favourite games ever. I just didnt like number 4 one bit.

Well *hopefully* this rumoured DLC will include some sort of new island, jetpacks, parachutes, monster trucks, tanks, quads (4-wheelers), jets… and cheats too, flying cars, cars drive on water, cars blow up when hit, cars fly away when hit, traffic lights stay green, aggressive pedestrians, super punch, super jump. The stuff that made the earlier iterations AMAZING.
I can dream can’t I?

Gotta agree with you there CC. Vice City made for the best, most fun story. The location was superb with the vibrancy and neon flashes everywhere. When you compare it San Andreas too, it was just so much more of a “fun” game.

Implementation of load times between islands?
I’ve never really played much of the story in Vice City or San Andreas. I purely just loved messing around with a completed save (bad, bad, I know). I found though, that San Andreas was the most fun to mess around in with all of the room and ridiculously fun additions.

Oh, and don’t get me wrong I LOVED Vice City and had (have!) great fun in it. I was only stating that I enjoyed San Andreas more…

My bets are on that being the next PS3 GTA.
PS2 – Libery City / Vice City / GTA San Andreas
PSP – Liberty City / Vice City
PS3 – Liberty City
We all knew that, but there’s a rather massive pattern going on here.

Would be cool if ps3 got some exclusives but Im kinda happy that it didn’t really affect sales that much. Have to say, I don’t like the seriousness of the game, though I have the sneaking suspicion that as games get more realistic then humour i harder to do, or maybe that wrong. Still prefer replay of san andreas and vice. CIty looks amazing in gta4, but finishing it left me hollow. gta5 to be vice in major 1080p ? a bloke can dream!

The only PS3 exclusive I’ll be interested in is the ability to throw that bloody mobile phone in the bin…. if they do Vice City again that won’t have mobiles because they didn’t exist…. cool!

They had mobiles in Vice City, but it was only ever used to advance the plot and the calls were few and far between.

Not to start a communication war but the first cell or mobile phone was Motorola Dyna 8000X used in USA in 1983, if you don’t think we had mobile phones in the 80’s watch the TV show Miami Vice, which as we all know was the inspiration for Vice City. But your right about Vice City being the best, it also has the greatest list voice actors ever.
