awesome, awesome news.

i think sony’s focus on new IP for this generation is the right approach for the long-term. let microsoft have their dlc exclusive; sony will get the next big rockstar hit.

I’m probably going to get the PS3 version of GTA4 even though I have a 360 since the extra content isn’t going to see the light of day for more then a half a year after I beat the game. That’s enough time for my 360 to die.

Its cool that Sony has gotten aggressive on third party exclusives. Deals like this Epic, Ubisoft show they are fighting back. Plus the brilliant way they are signing up tons of small indie studios.

Rockstar did state “hours” of extra content. Inside sources compared it to GTA:LCS, however they didn’t specifiy if it would compare to the missions from GTA:LCS or the whole game.

I don’t think to ehandlr^^ 50mil bucks is nothing to sneeze at! (at $10 US, they would need to sell 5 million units to break even). This content will be pretty big. (But I couldn’t care less, I am still not sold on DLC, not at all)

Hmm… I like it, because this also makes Rockstar comfortable with developing for the PS3 (using the RAGE), so the GTA games following GTA4 will surely profit from it (GTA4 too, although a bit late).

Based on their older repertoire, it’ll be either a third person shooter (Sony already has enough of these), a fighting game (a la Final Fight, a dieing genre) or an arcadey racing game (nearly nonexistant in Sonys first party)…

My bet goes to an arcadey racing game

Yup..They get 2 hours of extra content for about 20 bucks, we get a whole new game.

Awesome! That is what I wanted to hear.

GTA4 is still my most anticipated game this year.

Honestly, this really makes sense. This is why Sony was so calm and patient while the headlines screamed about 360 exclusive content on GTA4.
