Rockstar promises big things for PS3 owners in 2010


Recommended Posts

Are you one of the many PlayStation 3 owners that are a little disappointed that you couldn?t play the episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV? Don?t worry. Rockstar understands your frustration and apparently they have big things in store for PS3 owners in 2010.

While speculation is one of the best things going in the industry, we?re going to assume that either 2010 will be the year PS3 owners finally get their hands on GTA IV?s episodic content or that Rockstar may be announcing another prime exclusive for the PlayStation 3. Most will point their fingers to Grand Theft Auto 5, but we?re hoping for a new property much like The Agent.

If you?re wondering where this info is coming from, well, today, Rockstar published more answers to their fan?s questions on their official blog. This was one of the responses when questioned with content on the PlayStation 3.

The question posed was, ?I was highly anticipating the release of The Ballad Of Gay Tony, but just found out that it is only on the XBox360. I am certain that I am not the first person to ask this, but how come it wasn?t released on the PS3??

Which Rockstar replied, ?We know that it continues to be an often-asked question ? and believe us, we understand the frustration of PS3 owners like yourself who haven?t been able to play any of our most recent releases. All we can say is that we at Rockstar promise to be very good to you with our releases in 2010. Please stay with us and stay tuned!?

We look forward to finding out exactly what this is!

There?s also news on the oft hidden L.A. Noire. The game was originally presumed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but with Rockstar handing Agent to Sony, this game is expected to be for the Xbox 360 and PC also. The question for the past year or so was whether the game actually exists.

A question asked, ?Your latest word on L.A. Noire is that it is coming along ?splendidly? and that we can expect more details very soon, but that was in September. I?ve been anticipating this game for ages now and I was wondering if you can provide any new information or when in fact you?ll publicly provide more information. By the way, is it still on the PS3??

And Rockstar replied: ?There will be something great to see soon ? a proper in-depth look at the game and why it is so ground breaking and innovative, both in terms of the game?s design and the amazing new technology to support it. Expect to see a long-awaited reveal via a big cover story next month.?

It?s about time!

I hope/can't wait to see information on L.A. Noire and Agent in the next couple of months. :D

sounds like another interesting year ahead for sony. looking forward to it.

i just hope its not gay tony..

I'd still love to play both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC on PS3.

Not going to happen. Microsoft paid exclusivity for those two. So either it's a new exclusive DLC or a muti-console DLC for GTA4 that will be announced.

I just hope they don't though. Who cares about GTA4 anymore? It's way too late for new DLC. :/ Bring on GTA5!

They paid for TIMED exclusive not all out exclusive so it could well be them two packs :)

It's my understanding that Microsoft supplied them with 50 million dollars in some form to help with development of the DLC.

I thought it was more complex than this, like it was a loan or whatever and they'd have to give MS a certain amount back at some point or whatever. I don't think they got to just take 50 million anyway.

Anyway I'd say they are alluding to DLC. The likely hood of them doing an exclusive game seems slim for me, especially when GTA4 sold pretty evenly on both systems.

While I am expecting Agent info etc., I'm also pretty sure I read that it was a loan that was to be partially paid back in some form.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
