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!

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.

      AltSendme 0.4.2 is out.
    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.

      AltSendme 0.4.2 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) AltSendme 0.4.2 release highlight: Modern Debian & Ubuntu support. The .deb package now declares compatible dependency alternatives (libayatana-appindicator3-1, libgtk-3-0t64) alongside the older Ubuntu 22.04 names, so it installs cleanly on Debian and Ubuntu 24.04+. Fixed settings sidebar header being covered by the custom title bar on Linux. What's Changed #172 Fixed #168 Addressed feat(tauri): support for modern debian (80f548d) fix(setting-sidebar): linux-only custom title bar covering nav header (fb55c9d) Download: AltSendme 0.4.2 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
