Rumor: GTA IV DLC to bring quarantine, zombies [update]

Now heres a zombie outbreak that wouldn't confuse me, that much, well at least as not as much as WOW.

You have Left4Dead in my GTA!

Sounds like it could be fun...could be. With the lock-on system, I'm a little skeptical. Part of the allure of zombie shooters is the tension that's created while a swarm closes in on your position as you try to shoot'm in the head.

I'm not turned-off by a less-realistic/mature approach to the DLC. I mean the whole point of it is to add some extra fun. The original game has more than enough gritty crime-drama.

Sweet zombie jesus!

If GTA4 is in a fictional New York, shouldn't it have fictional superheroes? I'm just saying, it would be soooo awesome to get into a fist fight with spiderman after shooting him down from the roof of a building.

There are so many cool ideas for GTA content, I hope RS keeps adding cool stuff until the next-gen.

that would be awesome. I hate gta, but I would pop it back in to playsomething like this. Sort of like left for dead except with zombies. Hell yeah make them fast. Pit objectives in that. Make it a survival game. The hell with some mob crap. Make if fast paced and blood thirsty. I love it.

Please let this come to the PC version as well! : )

Zombies have been on the rise with so many good movies lately and even Dead Rising.

But now Zombies in both WoW and GTA IV?

Zombies have officially nuked the fridge. Nintendo will be putting them in Mario Strikers next.

Sing with me everybody.

ALL WE WANT TO DO IS EAT YOUR BRAINS.
WE ARE NOT UNREASONABLE I MEAN NO ONE IS GONNA EAT YOUR EYES!!

why would people not want zombies?
if its just a special mode you can play online and have a group of survivors fight them off that would be awesome. think about dead rising but then actually good in a whole city driving through them and such it would be awesome

Sonofa Bitch!

I'm no fan of GTA, but that would be pretty awesome.

So will all the radio stations only play Thriller?

Sweet deal.. I tipped them off about this, I'm glad they took notice.. It's a strong possibility there will be some sort of zombie DLC.. Think about it, you can already play as a flip-flop sportin', speedo wearin' zombie in multiplayer!

Work work as long as its original Dawn of the Dead zombies. not this fast crap lately. Zombies make everything just a little bit better.
"NEW ZOMBIE"

I think this sounds badass. Fill the streets with zombies, I'll download that in a heartbeat.

If this turns out to be true then I am so glad I didn't trade-in my copy of GTA4. It was right on the edge of being traded in but I decided to keep it just to see what the DLC was going to be. This would be much better than just more of the same type of stuff the game had in it. Of course between Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Left 4 Dead I don't know where I will find the time to play it.

Zombies are really being overdone. I love them, I love the Living Dead movies (the old ones, at least). But they have no place in GTA IV. It does not have a remotely sci-fi atmosphere that would lend itself to zombies. If true, they are pretty much being shoehorned in.

The good folks at Rockstar can explain it all they want and give us a million reasons why zombies are in Liberty City, but they really don't fit with everything GTA IV set up. I've been expecting a GTA in the future a la GTA2... wouldn't a game like -that- work better? If they do zombies now, they can't pull the same stunt in a later game where it might possibly fit.

Wasn't there a zombie costume in GTAIV multiplayer?

A zombie scenario in GTA would be INCREDIBLE, but I have a feeling they wouldn't/won't be able to achieve it on the level I want. Which would be Dead Rising amounts of zombies on screen. I hope I'm wrong, oh do I hope I'm wrong.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. This is not a rumor. This is blant speculation. A rumor is an alledged truth, that is alledged to originate from a knowledgeable source. This is a guess based upon a small concrete fact. Aka rampant speculation.

2. Fall ends in two months. Thats a far cry from being able to say its "days away" in my books. The exclusive DLC Microsoft talked about are episodes. EPISODES. Which means they will continue the story, tone, realism, etc of GTA 4.

3. Do I even have to say why this is silly speculation? GTA 4 is an open sandbox crime game. That takes pride in being ultra realisitic.

4. Halloween is in 8 days.

Theres really two possibilities.

(1). They are releasing a free zombie mini game, or a zombie multiplayer mode to celebrate halloween.

(2). They put that on the rockstar social site as a small way to achknowledge the holiday. Thats it. No multiplayer mode. No mini-game. Nothing.


Really, those are the two possibilities. And which one you think will most likely happen, completely relys on your ability to think objectively.

Not to burst anybodys bubble (god knows i want a zombie mode for gta ) but i think that Quarantine sign is to do with the new feature for tracking the zombie "infection" or skin for multiplayer mode you can see who infected you and how much it has spread.

But i really want this to be Dawn of the dead dlc

Zombies don't exist. Like all other non existing things, they are abstract, which is another way of saying they don't have a firm defintion. Because they exist only in works of the imagination.

Your defintion of a zombie, comes from the popular deplicitions of zombies in the 60-80s. Which in turn were very roughly based upon mythos of undead from a variety of cultures.


The defintion of zombie you hold, evolved from older ones. For example, originally the zombie only ate brains. Then pop culture abandoned that, and the Zombies just ate flesh.

However,over the years the zombies of cinema retained a paranormal explanation.

Now fast forward to recent years. Cinema has changed. The audience has changed. So naturally the concept of the zombie had to change with it. People want atleast semi- plausible explanations for things now. They are going to ask, how did this hole zombie thing start?

And the old anwser was..god did it. Or a demon did it. Or this magic ritual did it. Thats the anwsers the older zombie films gave. It was the throw back to the superstitions that first imagined the concept of the undead.

So while reviving the genre, someone thought of a logical explanation. An infection. The fact is, im willing to bet 90% of the people that watched land of the dead, after seeing that guy become a zombie after hanging himself. Told them selves the zombies originate from an air borne virus that activates upon death. They reject the "theres no materialistic explanation."

As for fast zombies, they evolved from slower zombies into that to meet the desire of a faster pace, and more intensity.


As for left 4 dead. Those Zombies don't eat your flesh, because then there would be no way for you to logically survive after getting attacked once.

This would be an excellent excuse to allow gory as hell headshots/nadshots in the name of zombie killing. YOU CANT BRUTALLY KILL SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY DEAD, RIGHT TAKE TWO? WINK WINK.

I approve of this. Looking forward to GTA 4 Dead

I think it's perfectly fine to have a bit of fun after the "serious dust" settles. The game and narrative work so much better in a serious setting, it's important to keep a serious tone. But now that the credits have rolled and some have already made their way for the parking lot - bloopers are acceptable.

This isn't what it means. The whole zombie thing is referring to the online mode where players can run around as a zombie with rockstar briefs. If you kill someone who is wearing the zombie outfit then you unlock it for yourself. This isn't going to be a new game mode.

i think considering the size of the game, a zombie outbreak would be sweet. it will be come more of a survival game and it should be fun!

as long as they follow zombie rules and don't make them super athletes or smart or anything.

nothing would be more satisfying than driving full speed down the street plowing over crowds of zombies!!

i approve. and if its true, i'm dowloading that new shizz immeditately.

Unfortunately this isn't DLC, but rather just a Halloween multiplayer "virus."

Still, I think if this were DLC, this is the direction I'd like it to head in. We've all had our down-to-earth GTA4 storyline and beaten it, so now I want to just have some fun with the game world. I think we've had our fill of the story for this installment so I think now they should just take this open sandbox that they created and give players who've already beaten the game some fun, crazy things to do in the game world. The foundation is there; great gameplay mechanics, fun physics, everything -- now they can just play with it and give us some San Andreas-esque fun.

Lazlow confirmed it was mission packs and new characters on the Opie and Anthony show.
