First Ballad of Gay Tony Screens Emerge

First Ballad of Gay Tony Screens Emerge
Written Saturday, August 29, 2009 by Dan Webb

In preparation for Tuesday's debut Ballad of Gay Tony trailer, Rockstar released the first batch of screens to a bunch of a GTA fansites today - GTA Network, GTA Gaming and The GTA Place; all of which are below now for your viewing pleasure.

The screens look like GTA IV's main game, but with a few more explosions. That, and what looks like the main character walking on a train. Yes, a train. Is the sidewalk not good enough for these video game characters these days? They've always got to show off. This should tide us over till Tuesday's trailer.

Check out the GTA IV gallery here.

Looks pretty badass. Let's hope it's a little better than TLAD.

golden Uzi?

Whereas TLAD was focused on motorcycles, this one looks focused on helicopters, obviously. Could be interesting, but I didn't find the controls too responsive for the helis in GTAIV

@13;

I agree. It looks similar to the CoD4 Golden One.

#14 you have a good point, maybe they'll update the flying mechanics to coincide with TLAD updating the bike handling.

Helis were fine in GTA, you just have to adjust. Also, just because there is a new helicopter, doesn't mean there will be a focus on helis. This DLC is focused on the nightlife of Liberty City.

I wonder how many times they had to play to get those.

when hes on top of the train looks like when romans apartment is burning. interweaving all the stories

Looks good

Saturday, August 29, 2009 @ 08:33:02 PM

@18, exactly, who said that the DLC has to have a focus on a particular mode of transport? the first one had a focus on bikes, why was that? oh yea, you were the member of a biker gang!! in this you are the guy that gets things done for tony, i doubt there will be any specific transport, however, helicopters taking on boats is cool :D

Comment #23 by minus15t
Saturday, August 29, 2009 @ 08:41:32 PM

@20. i thought it was romans taxi place, but the bridge is the wrong direction..the main interweaving of the stories is the mission which was called 'mueseum piece' in the original game, the exchange of the diamonds in the Mueseum in central park

@20

That's the burning debris of another helicopter. It's not even on the right part of town.

Bowing up boats FTW. I was going to get this anyway but now I'm really excited for it!

Nice! The Third screen looks like the MH-6/AH-6 Little Bird. Ooh-Rah!

That looks awesome. I haven't played TLAD, I've been holding off for the TLAD & Gay Tony disc which is out later this year. Fuck paying 1600 for TLAD & Gay Tony.

looks good, the whole thing looks base on hellies so i think its safe to say ther are definitly going to be parachutes!!!

"I haven't played TLAD, I've been holding off for the TLAD & Gay Tony disc which is out later this year. Fuck paying 1600 for TLAD & Gay Tony."

You're paying the same price either way. 1600 is $20, so buying both is $40. The disc with both episodes on it also costs $40. Actually, you can save $5 right now as I believe TLAD is still the Deal of the Week on the Marketplace and is only 1200 points.

Nice pictures. I almost didn't even notice Luis in the first shot. He's so tiny!

I have a problem,for example, I have brought all of the Grand theft Auto games ever released on PC, Playstation, Dreamcast,PSP,XBOX,XBOX360, Nintendo-Gameboy, gameboy Advance,64 and DS.
I have all the guidebooks, CD soundtracks and promotional posters.
I'll get the tales from Liberty City thing, The guidebooks and probably a case for 1600 points, if their is one being made.
I'm also looking forward to the PSP Chinatown wars which I will get and also the guidebook.
For I am quite mental you see.

Those pictures look fine. One thing I noticed, and this is after three or four views, is that the pictures seem a lot more vibrant than I remember GTA looking. To me, GTA always had some sort of a aged-filter on. Slightly brown-tinged. If they are getting rid of this for this DLC, I will be happy to play with gay Tony.

Hang on, new screens have been released and have emerged. Am I the only one disappointed to not have a pun about coming out?

I'm hanging out for this addon, TLAD was spectacular and I'm hoping the same will be true for BOGT. I'm a bit concerned about the soundtrack, having a nightclub theme implies the new soundtrack will mostly be music I hate. Still, thats a minor issue and they may still add more stuff to the good channels like they did with TLAD

Roll on end of October

Comment #35 by Tim1601

I loved TLAD 10x more because it had a bikey theme which is something i've always wished to have in a gta game. This one looks like the main game with a different character but oh well I'll probably still like it anyway.

Better be longer than TLAD it was way too short for the money it cost.

I dont get what looks cool about it....

Its pictures we have seen before of the same city with guns and helicopters.

Comment #38 by BootlegVenom
Sunday, August 30, 2009 @ 05:24:58 AM

Looks awesome, but still gonna wait until october for the expansion disc, because TLAD had no real replay value, and no one seemed to play the online, so at least it can go back to the shop after I've played it through.

Comment #40 by Zmoke

I just bought TLAD as it's the deal of the week. It is slightly cheaper to buy them from LIVE, if you have enough space in your HDD and if you are not going to resell them. Well, also you'll get to play them earlier.

Yea im definitly going to buy that disk with the 2 dlc's...Screw the main game i say!

Comment #47 by The Bum-Mobile
Sunday, August 30, 2009 @ 09:36:53 AM

Well... I haven't really been looking forward to this (TLaD was a bit of a let down, haven't even beaten it yet!) but now... I think I'm going to have GTA day today, followed by some good old impatience!

u can shoot a cruise ship! dats sick!

Comment #49 by Darf Spud
Sunday, August 30, 2009 @ 09:56:26 AM

I think the uzi is the same as before but modded to fit in the party style of the game. And the is cruise ship is probably a static boat you can drive. Like the ship you fight on in A Dish Served Cold.

iooks great

Comment #51 by Badgarok725
Sunday, August 30, 2009 @ 12:26:37 PM

oh wow, this looks like everything that was missing from the game, like big explosions and a large cruise ship

Might get this on disc

Will love it, hopefully it is as good a TLAD

Cool indeed!

Sunday, August 30, 2009 @ 04:53:07 PM

I'm still gonna wait on this. . . .I played about 3 missions in TLatD and then sorta grew tired of it. So a price drop would be ideal for this DLC to get my attention. Still if they add new heli's n it I think that'd be a welcome change.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
