Yesterday we excitedly ran with a rumour that Lost and Damned was heading to the PS3 based off the simple fact that screens showing The Lost and Damned were running in a fenced off section of Gamescom with lots of PS3 nearby. Of course, when you’ve got PS3 Community Moderator Yaster saying things like “they were certainly showing some PS3 love – Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and the Damned was available to play in a special 18+ area” on the EU forums (which was swiftly removed) things click into place faster than we can hit that “publish” button.

You can see where we’d get the idea from, right? The cold, hard reality is that Lost and Damned isn’t coming to the PS3. The images on the screens were simply advertising the disk-based expansions for the Xbox 360 version and just happened to be on a reel next to the PS3 demo units. Rest assured that if Rockstar were to ever announce downloadable chapters for the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV they’d make a much bigger deal of it than just shoving it into a cage at Gamescom were people can blab about it on forums. At least, that’s what we’d do.

Having played it on the 360 I can honestly say that it is not such a bad thing. Sure it adds to (what I think) is a great game but a fair few amount of people disliked GTA4 anyway.

It seems to me that it is a case of the PS3 fanboys just wanting it on PS3 to shout at the 360 fanboys. The serious PS3 gamers shouldn’t really be that bothered as there are simply too many good games being released on both platforms to worry about an age old expansion for an existing title.

I’d really like an island expansion with jets, monster trucks, jetpacks, etc.
Seeing as this expansion is based around motorcycles, I wasn’t attracted to it. GTA motorcycles and I don’t mix, you see…

  The bikes in Lost and Damned are not the same as what u encountered in GTA IV. Check out the reviews as they do a much better job of explaining the difference. Lost and Damned is an excellent add on. It took me 10+ hours to get through it too. We are talking massive as far as DLC goes.

personally thought this game was poop. Too long winded to do anything, game was the same as previous versions other than the graphics. MP was a nightmare, couldn’t connect most of the times. A pointless game which I sold after a week.

Orignal source was Spong. But the Platform section of this listing could start the rumour mill up again

  Source was VG247, Multiple tabs had me confused.
  
  Seeing as its VG247 I wouldn’t have wasted my time posting. Comments need an edit button.

I didn’t like GTA4 at all, but thought this could be different and perhaps good.

Ah well.

A little more common sense, a little less trigger happiness would have prevented this. Rockstar is not going to showcase unnanounced product at a public gaming convention. Especially when said product is part of a $50 million package deal exclusive to Microsoft. I’m not saying this won’t eventually hit the PS3, but its not going to be until well after the Ballad of Gay Tony hits. And I have my serious doubts there. My intentions are not to be a D***, but this site is just as at fault as the moderator. I think you will survive though, you guys do good work.
