Microsoft confirms GTA IV DLC for Fall 2008
At last, confirmation that doesn't come from a nebulous internet entity or a gravelly voiced figure in a trench coat. Not that we have anything against those two fine and often charismatic sources of information, but we're just a teensy bit more confident in Microsoft's confirmation (and corroboration) to us that "exclusive episodes for 'Grand Theft Auto IV' will be available on Xbox 360 starting fall 2008." That's quite a bit better than the rumored January, we think.
Details regarding the crime caper's new episodes are still officially non-existent, but nebulous internet entities and gravelly voiced figures in trench coats all agree: it'll likely involve car theft and other illegal shenanigans.

And no one cares.
Nick the Hero of Canton @ Sep 17th 2008 1:07PM
Except the millions of players making it still one of the top played 360 titles.
Markez @ Sep 17th 2008 1:08PM
Wow he speaks for all of us! Actually you're incorrect. Way to get in there first with a stupid comment.
Paul @ Sep 17th 2008 1:08PM
haha i was about to put something like that....seriously though i haven't touched this game in months. i just couldn't get into it like everyone else.....

I'm sure people will care. We still don't know anything about the DLC, but for me...I got sick of GTA4 a couple of weeks after I got the game. I still wonder how much RS held back because of the limitations of the 360. Maybe we will find out when RS shows the PS3 exclusive they have been working on for almost 2 years now.
There are SO MANY other games coming out this fall that I doubt the DLC will sell that well unless its really good and cheap.

I care! I just beat this game a month ago! Also, heres hoping the DLC includes Rhinos, DoDos, Hydras, and parachutes. I really want a parachute.

All these posts shag, and you still manage to keep your idiocy so fresh, kudos

Jeez man, you have got to be kidding me with this.
Dan CiTi @ Sep 17th 2008 3:39PM
I can see your reasoning. Every time I walk into a GameStop, I see tons of used GTA IV copies.
linkman26 @ Sep 17th 2008 1:10PM
Isn't it technically already fall 2008?
Donald @ Sep 17th 2008 1:33PM
Not until Monday.

I hope it has lots of big American teetees.

Even as someone who thought GTA IV was massively overrated, it was still an enjoyable game, while it lasted, it's biggest problem is just that there was no replay value. If this DLC adds in more diversions, new areas or even just more story missions, then it will be very welcome.
I'd love to see some new areas and some new vehicles added..
Eric @ Sep 17th 2008 1:16PM
No replay value? Do you not just boot it up and drive around wreaking havok? Or go online and play? The game has more replay value then most.
MC Double Def DP @ Sep 17th 2008 1:45PM
GTA4 has tons of replay value. You just might of gotten bored of killing & stealing.
Snowblind @ Sep 17th 2008 4:27PM
The multiplayer is one thing, but compared to the previous games, particularly San Andreas, it's just no where near as much fun to play. Even Saints Row was more enjoyable, in my opinion.
Raftman @ Sep 17th 2008 1:25PM
To be honest, I haven't played GTA in quite awhile. I might even get a feeling of nostalgia when I pop in the disc. Eee I'm excited now. =X

Quick and dirty Photoshop special just for you.

Recently tried to restart GTA4 for something to do until Wipeout was released, got a few missions done and was pretty bored, went back to my 100% save, had some fun chases, killed some cops but got bored after about 2 hours of that.
I guess I was spoilt by San Andreas, nothing was as fun as getting 4-5 stars and getting in a Rancher and going off road, speeding through a desert pulling into an abandoned Airport and stealing a Hydra jump jet and flying over a quarry, parachuting into it and riding a motorbike out then to the top of a mountain then parachuting off that too.
Half of me wants that DLC to be good to proove Rockstar havent lost 'it', but the other half wants it to be crap or I will feel like I spent full price for half a game. GTA4 was good dont get me wrong, I just felt like they removed far too much content which took a lot of the 'fun' with it.
Peter Johnston @ Sep 17th 2008 2:27PM
I booted the game up the other day just to screw around and get a couple of achievements. Also to play the alternate ending to the game I didn't play on my first go-around. The game is so much fun, if you haven't, you owe it to your self to play the vigilante missions. They take place in some of the areas your likely to never visit just playing through the story. Really makes me appreciate just how much detail they put into the city.
AwesomeTown @ Sep 17th 2008 1:58PM
Too soon for me. GTA'd out and too much to play this fall.
juju187 @ Sep 17th 2008 2:00PM
Cant wait for the DLC, Hoping for lots of stuff but the little thing that bothers me is the camera phone that doesnt save pictures. Make it work plz....
Syn @ Sep 17th 2008 2:04PM
When it first came out... everyone on my list was playing including myself. But now... No one. The DLC took too long to arrive, and I think Microsoft lost a few $$$ from all the players who don't play anymore or returned right away.

Sigh, no word on it coming to the PC version? I think its a Games for Windows Live title no?
ratm @ Sep 18th 2008 11:30AM
Actually, two words.

I'll be onto Saint's Row 2 by then.
Vcize @ Sep 17th 2008 2:39PM
I still can't finish this damn game because it glitched out on me at the end and won't trigger the last few missions.
And I know you don't care, I'm just yelling it to the internet. It cares.
Stupid Rockstar and your glitchy game.
Freeze @ Sep 17th 2008 3:10PM
wow
R_Fusion @ Sep 17th 2008 4:40PM
I wonder if it'll make me take the game out, blow the dust from it and play it, or will it be a waste of money?
Capgun @ Sep 17th 2008 6:28PM
Something tells me they'll release a GOTY edition (like COD4) that includes the DLC, so I may hold off getting the game(yes, I'm extremely slow to the pack) till then.
