I still don’t regret having this game for PS3 instead of my PC. Perhaps if it is mod friendly my opinion would change. Still for those who are PC, this is a game worth enjoying.

And combat is improved quite a bit from previous GTAs with the addition of controlled 360 degree shooting out of cars and the best cover system I have yet experienced in a game.

Oh some DLC news:-

Grand Theft Auto IV: the Lost and Damned

Feb next year it seems, and you play a member of a biker gang.

I’m expecting the DLC to probably turn up on the PC 6 months down the line or so if it does.

‘The Peeper’ (on the website) is by the best of the four sample vids. It has all the sleaze of a ’70s exploitation flick, and also the best camerawork.

I can imagine it’d be in Microsoft’s best interests to put it on PC eventually; but being that they marketed the 360 version as the only version which will have the DLC, I can also imagine they’d want to keep the lid on it so they can perhaps sell a few more consoles on the exclusivity of the content. They did pay (apparently) $50 million to have it as Xbox exclusive, so they’d probably do all they can to make that money back.

Quick question: does anyone know if cross-platform play will be possible? Because me and my brother loved playing two player co-op on San Andreas and we’d quite like to play GTAIV multiplayer together too; problem is, we don’t own two 360s.

Is there any official word on that tbh? The game is GFW live so it’s not entirely unlikely that at some point the 360 DLC might not end up coming to the PC as an expansion pack.

Also given not that many people I know who have the 360 version even bothered to finish playing it, the uptake on the DLC might not be remotely as high as either MS or R* expect. With the world the way it is at present, its hard to envisage any business denying themselves market space on principle if they can help it.

You realize the DLC is Xbox exclusive, right? As in, Microsoft paid big bucks to ensure that the Xbox is the only platform to get the content.

No DLC?
That would be a no-sale.
Well done, Rockstar!

That Nico vs Nico video has some truly awful camera angles and editing. Whoever made it could really do with reading up on continuity editing.

Still, looking forward to having a fiddle with this, should be fun.

What we REALLY need, though, is a L4D movie maker.

I always found the combat in the previous iterations rather unsatisfying; has it really been improved for this version? If so, I may well just plonk down some money for it.

Jesus, 4 full-prices games in a a month and a bit; I deserve an industry award. I’m single-handledly supporting a family of pirates out there.

Very nice, I take it the PC version will be the bomb.
