Rockstar today unleashed the newest trailer for The Ballad of Gay Tony, the upcoming second expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV. Having never finished the game or played the first expansion, I highly doubt I’ll be picking this one up (either the disc based Episodes from Liberty City or the DLC for Gay Tony). While it does look damn cool, I just don’t see myself having the time to set aside to get back to Liberty City.
This isn’t really all that surprising, but Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be making its way to the PSP this Fall. Sporting improved graphics, some new missions, and a few other goodies, the game will be available both on UMD and as a download for your PlayStation Portable.
When the news popped across my desk, I immediately got in touch with Rockstar’s PR department. A few questions immediately jumped into my mind. Is this release in direct response to the lackluster sales on the Nintendo DS? Will the PSP version feature enhanced multiplayer? What about the cool portions of the game where you used the DS stylus, such as hot-wiring cars and putting together your sniper rifle?
Rockstar isn’t saying anything more than what was in the press release, so they couldn’t comment on any of my questions just yet. Don’t worry, though, because I’ll keep hounding them until we get the answers. Hit the jump to see the full box art.
Yes, you read that correctly. We were promised 2 episodes from Rockstar for GTA IV and the second episode has just been named. The story revolves around Luis Lopez, who is the assistant to Tony “Gay Tony” Prince, who is the owner of a hotly contested nightclub. Where will this journey take us? We will need Lemmiwinks to light the way.
Also, the 2 episodes will be available for standalone purchase for $39.99 just in case you do not own GTA IV.
Remember, the only thing better than a man in uniform, is men in uniform.
If you didn’t think a sequel was coming, you must have been living under a rock or hitting up the peyote (wanna share?). Rockstar today announced Max Payne 3 is currently in development and scheduled for a Winter 2009 release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.
I loved the first two Max Payne titles last generation, so I’m excited to see what Rockstar has up their sleeves now. Based on the teaser artwork they sent, Max Payne is about to fuck some bitches up.
As if you didn’t expect this, GTA IV: The Lost and Damned set a new record for downloadable content on Xbox Live. The expansion pack “eclipsed first-day revenue” for every other piece of DLC out there.
Just how many copies did it sell or how much did it make? Microsoft and Rockstar aren’t saying. Is it worth their $50 million investment? Only time will tell.
How many of you out there actually picked this one up?
Whenever I get an email that mentions Ghostface Killah, it quickly draws my attention. Rockstar sent over the new trailer for GTA: Chinatown Wars for the DS with music by MF Doom and Ghostface Killah.
The trailer is titled “Like A Renegade” and gives you a glimpse at the main character, Huang Lee, and why he’s set out on a life of crime in Liberty City. Definitely looking foward to this one dropping in a couple weeks.
Gamers were faced with a dilemma when GTA IV hit the shelves last June and it was not the dilemma that we are used to. The quandary raised was not whether to buy the game, but what system to buy it for. We all grew up on playing GTA on the PS2 because Xbox did not get the games until months if not years later. Now, the once Sony timed exclusive was going multi-platform from the start. Furthermore, throw in the fact that Microsoft bought the rights to any and all DLC for the blockbuster. Was that $50 million gamble worth it? Is The Lost and Damned worth the 20 bucks? Absolutely.
Rockstar released a new trailer today for GTA IV: The Lost and Damned. You get to see a good deal of biker raging action for the upcoming expansion. I’m excited that the game takes place a lot in Alderney (New Jersey), since I’d love to cause havoc around Scuba’s house. Maybe I can throw a pipe bomb through his window.
Check out who makes an appearance towards the end of the trailer. Good shit.
Remember Red Dead Revolver? The Xbox 360 launch title ended up being a semi sleeper hit while people were getting used to the new console. Rockstar knows how much you loved it and announced a sequel.
Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American frontier.
I loved the first one, so naturally I’m excited for the sequel. Shooting shit as a cowboy is always a good time. Red Dead Redemption is hitting the Xbox 360 and PS3 in Fall 2009. Check out more screens after the jump.
With the upcoming Xbox 360 expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar is dishing out an extra 250 Achievement points for you to whore yourself to get.
Get Good Wood – 50 – In the Bike Races, whack off 69 bikers with a bat.
Easy Rider – 100 – Finish The Story
Full Chat – 70 – Your backup are riding at their best!
The Lost Boy – 25 – All hail the leader of The Lost!
One Percenter – 5 – Billy is back on his bike.
Aside from the first one being hilarious, these seem like a good way to entice people to play through the entire DLC storyline. Still no word on how long that story will take, but I’d imagine a solid amount of play time for your $20.
