Has some info about the DLC:

The first downloadable "episode" for GTA IV will be along in August, and it'll only be available on the Xbox 360. Rockstar isn't revealing any details, but company president Sam Houser has suggested they'll be separate storylines you can pick up within the game - like someone coming up to you in the street, asking for your help. You'll have to pay for them, but Houser reckons they'll be excellent value for money - Microsoft's confirmed they'll be at least 10 hours long - and be very popular, as Rockstar's goal is "to fry the Xbox Live servers." Don't schedule any multiplayer for August, then.

Wow, 10 hours in DLC is pretty impressive! I thought it'd just be a couple of missions, not an entire story :p

+1

Sounds awesome, shame we have to pay for them to be honest. How much will the Game + DLCs come to in the end? If each DLC is about 800 microsoft points then yeah... :|

*sigh*

Read what it says, "at least 10 hours" it could be more and i would think it will be especially if the DLC includes new multiplayer modes.

I doubt it will be anything multiplayer - I'd foresee any multiplayer updates being universal.

However on the 10 hour side of things, that is good! Hopefully it is roughly that long, and it doesn't cost too much!

How much was the Oblivion DLC?

I think the most expensive DLC for oblivion was shivering isles and that was 1200 points (i think).

Maybe multiplayer modes would be universal but if the DLC is going to be as big, i can see MP modes or at least some new co-op missions being in there.

@huleboeren, If MS paid for the excluisve DLC and want at least 10 hours they'll demand it. Also i think in an interview Sam Houser has said that they want to make DLC worth it and make it worth our money.

You mean the Horse Armor :laugh: or the actual expansion packs.

Actual expansion packs, but it's ok Lingwo answered! Unless the horse armor was 1200 points, but I doubt that :/

Maybe co-op but I doubt any multiplayer stuff is going to be exclusive for either platform!

The Horse Armor was like 800 Points when it was first released i think, perhaps 400 ( Which is still expensive ).

But ... It's Horse Armor!

Well if it's 10 hours DLC.. I think it's only fair to pay.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Sekyal · Posted

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
