First screens for The Ballad of Gay Tony go airborne

by Ben Gilbert on Aug 29th 2009 5:30PM

Earlier today, Rockstar Games released its first volley of screens for upcoming GTA IV expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony. From what we can see in the four images -- handed "exclusively to fan sites," according to the Rockstar Games website -- it appears as though air-based warfare will be the focus this time around.

Eagle-eyed fans will also notice that the protagonist is wearing the same letterman jacket found in the teaser image Rockstar released last week for the game's second DLC, still scheduled to arrive this Winter, further confirming his main characteriness. All will be revealed this Tuesday we hope, with the arrival of the first trailer (and hopefully some new media alongside that). For the time being, peep all four images right here.

Trey, Xbox 360 uses DVDs.

And Heavy Rain is published by Sony. That's probably a better reason for why it isn't appearing on the 360. Afterall, Square Enix is releasing FFXIII on 360, spanning multiple DVDs, so I don't see how a single DVD's storage capacity prevents a game from being released on the system.

It was Rockstars decision to take the money from Microsoft, and a good number of those who own GTA IV bought TLAD as well. I'm pretty sure Rockstar isn't pissed.

Rockstar "could give a fuck less?" Rockstar's the developer of the game, they give many fucks. I don't know why you think otherwise, but Rockstar does care about the sales it has on Xbox Live, and I'm almost positive it was a good day at the office when they read the sales figures.

Oh, and TreyIM, you're a pretty damn good bullshitter.

Can't wait for this.

I wasn't a huge fan of GTAIV, but Lost and Damned completely redeemed it, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Hopefully the yacht can be used as a safehouse.. there was one like than in Saints Row 2, complete with helicopter landing pads and lots of rooms, etc.. but you couldn't use it, WHY? A mobile safe house seems so obvious.

I love how the screenshots have this sort of watercolor filter in the background, makes it look like a painting

At this point, that 1 million copies is probably 2 million by now, if not more.

$20 x 2,000,000 = $40,000,000.
($20,000,000 if you're gonna argue "omg no def. not 2 million now lol")

Yeah, Rockstar is PISSED, man! $40,000,000, plus Microsofts $50,000,000, with The Ballad of Gay Tony coming up soon.

Rockstar put TLAD on the XBL Marketplace knowing how DLC sales go. They weren't hoping for (lets say it was an even split) 6 million sales of TLAD.

From a business standpoint, $40,000,000 is just dandy.

when do they release the game of the year edition with all the toppings?

Yeah, man, I'm just so dumb.

Rockstar was definitely expecting everyone who bought GTA IV would also buy TLAD, including those who don't even have Xbox Live.

$40,000,000 must be chump change to Rockstar.
