Rockstar: No new GTA IV 360 exclusive content

[Zeus]

Rockstar has said that there has been no announcement regarding new, exclusive GTA IV content for the Xbox 360. In a conference call, company executives seemed to reveal that exclusive GTA IV episodic content would be making its way to Xbox 360 in fiscal year 2009. However they were actually talking about the two previously announced pieces of episodic content. One of the pieces will now be released in the fiscal year 2009, believed to be due to the delayed release of the game and one in fiscal 2008.

A Rockstar rep told Next-Gen Wednesday that the content in question is merely the second of the two previously announced pieces of episodic content making their way to Xbox 360. While both pieces of episodic content were initially scheduled to hit Xbox 360 in Take-Two’s fiscal 2008, the second piece of content will now be available in fiscal 2009, a delay presumably brought about by the later than expected release of the highly anticipated title, which slipped from a planned 2007 debut to a 2008 fiscal second quarter (February 1 - April 30) release.

Although unconfirmed, it has been widely reported that Microsoft forked out $50 million in advance to secure the content exclusively for its next-gen console, a move that is likely to heavily boost sales of the 360 version of the multiplatform title.

No evidently the mention that one of the episodes would be downloadable in 2009 made some people think there was a 3rd episode...what they ment was the second episode was pushed back to 2009 since the game has been delayed.

360 only, sorry

They can easily put GTAIV add-ons on PSN later after the release date, don't think M$ will get away with all the bribed content!

Anyone else find it funny as hell that the fanboys all cry "bribery" if anything positive happens for MS or any company its affiliated/partnered with...yet when Sony does something like bail out square or completely footing the bill for dozens of 3rd party developers to create stuff for Sony(http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3154830) its "just helping out". :rolleyes:

Both companies...actually all 3 companies are looking for competative edges and will do what they can to attain them, from what I have seen none is worse than the other. Fanboys of all consoles really need to take their heads out of the asses and realize that the makers of their beloved console dont give a rats ass about them beyond assurance that they will get the fanboys money.

Excellent post completely true. People put blind faith around their company of choice and turn a blind eye to anything else. Ill be getting the game for the 360 mainly because thats the system I have at the moment. Though if I had both I would still get it on 360 because of the extra content. This was the biggest draw in america for sony last generation(my opinion but gta III swept my highschool completely) Like microsoft wouldnt really go out of their way to make sure they got something out of R* for this game.

Its the same as grapeape said and another example is RE exclusive to GC last generation capcom didnt just decide to put all those games on gc for no reason.

the main reason that I got a 360 instead of a PS3 was exclusive content for GTA
