Grand Theft Auto IV Updates
If you are fortunate to own both an Xbox 360 and a capable PC, or just one of them, you have some GTAIV goodies coming in the next few months.
The first Rockstar Games announcement is the much anticipated downloadable content for the Xbox 360, you know, the stuff that made you buy the Xbox 360 version instead of the PS3 version of GTAIV. The DLC is titled, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned, which is the first of two episodes that will release for the Xbox 360.
The Lost and the Damned features a brand new main character to explore Liberty City, and includes a plot that intersects with the GTAIV storyline. The DLC will have new missions, multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles, and new soundtracks.
The DLC is exclusive to the Xbox 360, and will be available on Xbox LIVE on February 17, 2009.
The second Rockstar Games announcement is the details of the PC version of GTAIV. Among the features of the PC version are enhanced graphics, customizable radio station songs via mp3s, and 32-person multiplayer.
The recommended PC specs are:
- Window Vista SP1 or XP SP3
- Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz or AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz processor
- 2.5GB of memory
- 18GB of hard disk space
- 512MB nVidia 8600 or 512MB ATI 3870 video card
Sorry PS3 fans, there is no GTAIV love for you this holiday season. But, if you really want to play the DLC, there is probably a good deal on an Xbox 360 somewhere out there this Black Friday.
