Possible Zombie Outbreak/Quarantine Scenario DLC for GTA IV!

October 24, 2008 in Rumor comments 9

OMG YES OMG YES OMG YES OMG YES OMG!!


But all kidding aside a new in game "ad" relating to Eugenic Inc., a fictional company found in Bohan in GTA IV leads one to believe that the upcoming exclusive downloadable content could be zombie related.

One can only speculate, and by speculate I mean hope.

A new Eugenics Inc. "ad" has appeared on RockStar Social Club, issuing a vague quarantine order locking down the mysterious company's compound due to a contagious disease outbreak. Eugenics Inc. is a physical location in Grand Theft Auto IV, located in Bohan, though it doesn't play into any part of the game ... yet.


quote

"Contagious Disease

"No one shall enter or leave this premises without the proper documentation issued by Eugenics Inc. No person expect an authorized agent or employee of Eugenics Inc. shall alter, destroy or remove this sign. Anyone violating these regulations will be arrested and prosecuted by the federal authorities.

"By order of Liberty City Police Department / Eugenics Inc."

    I for for one am ecstatic about this news.

    I love all the little subtle bits R* throws into the GTA series like this. In San Andreas there was something of this nature too, Zombotech or something of that sort- located in San Ferrio if I'm not mistaken.

    I think the alt. sources prove that this is more than just a rumour.

    This and the trophies that are on the way should get me back into GTA IV

    ...at least until LittleBigPlanet finally hits in any case. =P.

    Perhaps this will be shared content as if this is one of the Exclusive DLC's then i don't quite see this as being as big as they were making out, i mean it's essentially a zombie mod i can assume lol.

    Can someone please explain what this means?
    Also is this only for PS3 and PC or is the 360 getting it?

    Where's the "Zombie" said anywhere there? It's an outbreak, that's a given, the disease is still unknown, isn't it?

      In the video gaming world, it always seems to mean zombies. Which would be a little disappointing for me, it seems these days it's always zombies for movies, books, games... halloween costumes...

      Besides which, zombies seem to be the only thing everyone can shoot at a moment's notice without remorse, and the only real disease you can "fight" in a video game, so they tend to play on the whole zombie/borg/revanant, whatever they call it, thing a lot.

        I'm a Zombie fan myself really, though I'm starting to miss back then where people FORGOT all about zombies. Everyone nowadays is just milking zombies...like the ones that are really pissed because they like...snarl at you before they eat you, for some obscure reason. Also they tend to be pretty athletic for brain dead corpses.

        For a Zombie-like Outbreak to work in a World as big as GTA's, you need to have zombies literally everywhere...Dead Rising style. I doubt that's possible.
