Chris Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Rockstar have officially announced the downloadable content now by way of a press release. The press release gives a few more details in addition to what had been disclosed to USA Today earlier. The Lost and Damned features a new main character and plot that intersects with the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV; new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music - all with the incredible production values that are the trademarks of Grand Theft Auto. Not your typical run of the mill DLC here, seems like R* are packing quite a lot of stuff into this. The press release also confirms a 17th February release date, and states pricing information and more details will be announced "soon". Rockstar released alongside this the first screenshots of episode 1 of the downloadable content, The Lost and Damned. Of course it's running on the same game engine so no improved graphics or anything to look at. Also released was the logo for the episode, click that thumbnail for a stupidly high resolution version. Enjoy! GTA IV DLC screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Wow no replies in over 12 hours? Haha but yeah great to see some screen shots. It'll be cool to ride along with a biker gang around the city killing the innocent All the new features sound great for a DLC, more like an expansion actually. Wondering what the price will be like, hopefully not too much but I have a feeling it'll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nice expansion pack... Will it be released for the PC version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nope. I'm pretty sure it's exclusive to the 360, even though MS do own GFW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezqu Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nope. I'm pretty sure it's exclusive to the 360, even though MS do own GFW. Well I would not say that it would never come to PC, but it might take more time. As they now also sell the game through Steam so in reality releasing them as just download versions could be possible and if that happens they might release those "episode packs" in one release including them all in some later date. If the first episode pack sells good I would think they might consider porting it and other packs to other platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor_Vance Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I knew it the DLC had to do something with either Johnny or I thought that i was going to be Niko again but getting revenge on Mr. Bulgarin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I knew it the DLC had to do something with either Johnny or I thought that i was going to be Niko again but getting revenge on Mr. Bulgarin.. Same here. You never found out what happened to Johnny the biker after the diamond bust. This indeed is looking to shape up quite well with the plot.

Same here. You never found out what happened to Johnny the biker after the diamond bust. This indeed is looking to shape up quite well with the plot. Yeah I bet L&D is just going to show more details about the other characters (Elisabetta , Jacob , The Lost , and probably Ray Boccino ). This version is way cool. Worth downloading it. EDIT: But there's something odd, I never even heard of the "Damned" biker gang in IV. I thought it was just The Lost and Angels of Death.

Sherman Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I don't think it literally means "The Damned" as a gang, I'm taking as a more descriptive term. There's going to be a LOT of bike riding, so get ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletproofboy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Microsoft payed $50 million for the DLC to Xbox 360. I don't think this DLC will come to PC/PS3, but a diff DLC Episode will come I read this playstation magazine and it said so. I like the new DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 ^The trailers made it look bad ass but the game wasn't that all good. I hope L&D is longer than the original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Even if they don't release it for the PC((which, since MS bought it, I'm sure it will be released)), someone will probably do it eventually. So even if they decide they don't want to do it, maybe you'll end up with a slightly less-quality one fan-made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an add-on, it doesn't effect your old game at all. You can still play the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
