Grand Theft Auto 4 360 version DLC – new cities for download?
We’ve heard a whole bunch of rumors about Rockstar Games’ upcoming sandbox game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto 4. Today, we’ve got another one, and this time it all revolves around the video game’s possible downloadable content: entire cities. Check out the full article for more details about this savory tidbit.
With Grand Theft Auto IV‘s April 29 release date looms ever so near, you’d think the rumors about it would die down a bit. Well, rumors about the core game have lessened to some degree, but another rumor has surfaced about – hold on to your hats – downloadable content.
If the rumors turn out to be true, we’ll be downloading entire cities for Rockstar North‘s GTA 4 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). We’ll let a snippet from CVG’s GTA IV magazine special explain:
Of course, to call games as vastly ambitious as Vice City or San Andreas mere ‘expansion packs’ seems childish, but nevertheless, the downloadable content (DLC) coming for the Xbox 360 version of IV has repositioned those games in just this way. DLC so far has meant the odd new car, jumper of bit of horse armour, but GTA IV is set to completely redefine the idea with expansions that are to GTA IV what Vice City or San Andreas were GTA III.
The article reiterates the possibilities: “Yes, Rockstar is clearly hinting at new downloadable cities; and the chances of them being London, Vice City or SA again are slim to none.”
Now before you guys start bouncing off the walls at the idea of new cities other than San Andreas and Vice City, we’ll advise you to take this rumor with a whole warehouse of salt. It would be nice to think about the possibilities though. What city would you like to be *cough* Rockstarized?
You may have noticed that they only spoke of GTA IV‘s Xbox 360 version and we’re hoping that PlayStation 3 players get the same amount of love in case the rumor turns out to be true. Anyway, we’ll keep a close eye on this particular rumor, so stay tuned.
