GTA's Niko headed to San Andreas?

May 09, 2008 in News comments 24

Relating to previous rumours about downloadable city content, it seems like we'll be getting all that, but with a twist: our anti-hero Niko has apparently booked a ticket to San Andreas, according to a fan who uncovered it on the Social Club website. Far as we know, this content is only for the Xbox version.

I was messing about with the Story Gang thing on the Social Club website. I noticed you could click and drag the things about that are under the story book. I found a plane ticket. Have a wee look and see for yourselves...

    What makes you say that it's only for the 360? there's no mention on either the source or the image itself that indicates it's a 360 only DLC. Not even the alt source, xbox360fanboy mentions 360 only

      Because Microsoft paid $50 Million to ensure that DLC was 360 only.

        I could have sworn it was SOME DLC would be only for 360 and there would be other things for PS3?

          The PS3 can have DLC, but if it's something like downloading a city, that's probably going to go to Microsoft seeing as they payed so much for DLC, most likely this.
          It would be a friggin huge download though.

          I doubt there will be any mission based DLC for the PS3.

          That's why I made sure to get it on 360, though I'll probably pick up the PS3 version at some point soon.

    I think 360 will get first option on DLC, but I'm sure PS3 will end up getting the same DLC some time in the future.

    I don't know whether to get excited about this or not. I reckon it could be Rockstar just messing with us, but it still sounds like a great idea for DLC.

      I'm pretty sure Microsoft would've made the contract pretty watertight. They did spend $50 Million on it.

      It sucks for PS3 owners because GTA IV is amazing. And every gamer should experience the game in it's entirety.

        Not to mention that the $50 million was an advance, and they'll pay more by next year.

        Please not San Andreas...they cuss too damn much. xD

          Is that a joke? Even the pedestrians in GTA IV cuss more than the main characters in San Andreas.

          Really? When I walk up to pedestrians in GTA IV, I rarely ever here the 'F' word. Whereas in San Andreas, it's in practically every line in cutscenes and such.

    Nice little find and I like how Rockstar do stuff like this.
    It would be really unfair on PS3 owners if they didn't get the DLC, but I guess that's Sony's fault.

    I think it was GTA IV's Jeronimo Barrera that said that the PS3 version was going to have DLC. What it could be, nobody really knows...my guess is that it's going to have some serious PlayStation Home integration and unlockables/downloadables.

    This would make since. Liberty City was revisted from GTAIII in Liberty City Stories, Vice City was revisited from GTA: Vice City in Vice City Stories, but San Andreas could never fit on the PSP, so maybe this could be San Andreas Stories? Or something like that, I dunno just something that quickly came to mind.

    It COULD come to the PS3 though....360 has exclusive deal, sure, but that doesn't mean the PS3 won't get ANYTHING....

    I wonder if they are actually going to do this at all though? And how? First, fitting it on the 360's HDD, well, it would be a bit big....

    And the design? Update the texture maps, and change the police and ped behaviour to match GTA IV's?

    First i need to hear this from R* if this is true. Second I would like to know what exactly the DLC contains or confirmation its going to be SA or something along those lines.

    However R* has been known to find loopholes in their deals with people. Im not saying the PS3 will get this or not, just saying.

    But i wonder if the PS3 DLC will get Planes, and all those things SA had. Than i would say PS3 fans would like that more. Since alot of people like Mnmfan wanted to see this and thought it added more to the fun. So its going to be interesting what PS3 owners get.

      Why would you want to find 'a loophole' if you've been given $50 million to create content? If R* make great DLC, it will only encourage more funding into them for future downloads.

        It would also serriously harm any future deals with rockstar.

        They will gain a reputatiion for finding loopholes, and NO company would want to make a heafty deal with them.

        Im also pretty sure MS ran through the deal a coupe of times before offering it.

        Im not the one being offered 50 million. Like i said R* has been known to find loopholes. That question should really be asked to R*, not me.

      Planes or more missions?

      Seems a no brainer... much like yourself.

    Oh boy I would seriously love R* if they did something like this. I heard the DJs talking about Vice City and Las Venturas and all that stuff, and thouhgt how cool it would actually be to go back there. But can they actually redesign a city (LC looks damn near identical to NYC, so shouldn't SA cities be identical to their own too?) in that short of time, and be DLC?

    But I don't think PS3 owners won't get anything. They will most likely get quite a few additions, just nothing as big as whats coming to the 360.

    San Andreas map for GTA IV? If such a thing actually comes and is only for 360, PS3 fanboys will be pissed. They'll probably think of some way to say that it is bad with things like "SA is old news, who cares".

      reaver11 May 10, 08
      Which would be okay since something coming from a flaming fanboy means nothing to me. Buts seriously, an entire redesigned map of SA for GTAIV? I find highly unlikely, but would really be awesome if true.
