 | Comment #14 by SP4RT4N360 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 12:49:31 PM Meh i still dont know i hated GTA4 it was to serious and the keeping the friends happy things sucked hard, i prefer saints row 2 more like the first GTAs more fun. It looks like they are trying to put the fun back in by re-using ideas from san andreas...... i do like the P90 used by the bodyguard tho i love that gun!! |
 | Comment #15 by Nixxor X Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 12:49:50 PM I have no words for this. Simply amazing. |
 | Comment #16 by xFortyseven Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 12:51:23 PM awesome trailer |

 | Comment #20 by MartinMan Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 12:59:13 PM can not wait! |
| Comment #21 by APassingShadow Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 12:59:29 PM @17 LMAO are you really that stupid? |
 | Comment #22 by Sol Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:00:55 PM @17 I hope you're just making a horrible, horrible joke. |
 | Comment #23 by StrikeFear14 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:02:21 PM Glad I waited :D Goin' for the pack the second it comes out. |
 | Comment #24 by ponypo2001 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:05:27 PM I think number 17 has been raised on a diet of bible bites for breakfast.I also picture a wooden shack in the hills where the next endeavour is a quest for fire.Seriously man,wake up and realise it's the 21st century. |
 | Comment #25 by porkfriedtar Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:05:29 PM omg i want it i want it i want it |
 | Comment #26 by TrustyJamie Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:05:58 PM Pjanoo AND Ballad of Gay Tony FTW! this looks better than TLAD |
 | Comment #27 by Wehttam Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:07:10 PM Sweet trailer, looks like there are some new guns to boot as well. |
 | Comment #28 by HT101 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:07:44 PM The main character as far as I know is NOT gay but his boss I think is. Gay Tony is the boss while you play as Ramon(I think). This looks pretty awesome. Since I bought TLaD over Live, I'll just get this through Live as well. May need to get a new hard drive before that though. |
 | Comment #29 by Fracture Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:08:50 PM wow looks ace. Shame i will be on holiday in Australia when it comes out :crying: |
 | Comment #31 by The Dutch Pinyo Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:10:50 PM @28 yea you're right. you dont play as Gay Tony. he is your boss or something |
 | Comment #32 by sixgun91 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:12:15 PM i think it looks bout 69 times better than tlad |
 | Comment #33 by OMGmyFACE Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:13:55 PM Oh my god, this looks amazing! Preordered Eps from Liberty City. And, honestly, we care about characters being gay? Hell, we care about PEOPLE being gay, period? What year is this again? Grow up, "gamer elite." |
 | Comment #34 by Blue Thunder28 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:15:23 PM YAY. This looks awesome, no wonder it takes them forever to make these they are always so golden. |
 | Comment #35 by thRussted Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:17:41 PM This DLC looks awesome. Definately gonna resurface my GTA4 now. |
 | Comment #36 by kelnoker Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:21:42 PM looks cool. i seen a golf cart lol... the yellow car at 0:31 is nice too |
 | Comment #37 by dylanmannen Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:22:16 PM looks sweet :D this is going to be awsom |
 | Comment #38 by Matcayn Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:30:59 PM yeah destroying nasty cranes |
 | Comment #39 by The Bum-Mobile Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:35:35 PM Anyone else see the P90? Cannot wait for this! I think this may be a campaign of great missions! |
 | Comment #40 by Alex933 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:39:39 PM i dont get it, are u the gay one or what? |
 | Comment #41 by Daiphyer. Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:42:03 PM How did this confirm Niko Bellic ? I'm confused. |
 | Comment #42 by YUNDERSTAND Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:42:34 PM There better be achievements for this. If not, they I may debate getting this. GTA has only gone up to 1250. They have plenty of space left. Let there be achievements!! Pwease. |
 | Comment #43 by HystericalNaked Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:43:39 PM @ 40 Alex933 Why would it matter? |
 | Comment #44 by MrIacob Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:45:23 PM We can see: Trains on fire. Cars with nitros. Possibillity to dance(maybe) New guns (P90) New car/s New chopper (maybe) possibillity to play video games (maybe) |
 | Comment #45 by CheesyToast111 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:46:56 PM As long as it isn't as big a ripoff as TLAD I will get it. |
 | Comment #46 by MTW NL Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:50:03 PM did i just see the....P90? yeay! =D |
 | Comment #47 by xiphias666 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:52:31 PM This looks nice. |
 | Comment #48 by Webb Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:55:53 PM @#41 - Niko Bellic - 1 minute, 10 seconds ;) |
 | Comment #49 by bobocum Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 01:58:25 PM Why is #4 skipped? |
 | Comment #50 by Santaslave Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:15:10 PM Yeah this is fucking awesome. |
 | Comment #51 by Rolyan213 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:16:07 PM if its on marketplace i'll download it but im not buyin it coz i got tlad |
 | Comment #52 by CrossFireZX5 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:17:08 PM Awesome. Just Awesome. Oct. 29th baby! |
 | Comment #53 by gtarules Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:20:39 PM Gay people have been in previous Grand Theft Auto's you know like, Renee from Vice City Stories and Bernie from the main GTAIV story and many other gay references in nearly all GTA games so I don't see what the problem is. The main innovations are copied from San Andreas, this isn't a bad thing since I have heard many Americans online, do prefer it to GTAIV. I personally don't care much for San Andreas. My favourite GTA game of all time is Vice City, but I just like the music, atmosphere and the eighties. |
 | Comment #54 by ALEX IS L33T Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:30:41 PM got the TLAD for Deal of the Week, so i dont need to $40 disc. Im just gonna get the DLC on the Marketplace. TBoGT looks awesome though! |
 | Comment #55 by DarkSeraphim198 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 02:59:41 PM This looks absolutely amazing, roll on 29th October!!! |
 | Comment #56 by patches4711 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:32:44 PM That Trailer was well done. Seems like they captured alot of stuff. Looks to be a great DLC. |
 | Comment #57 by ExecutiveN00B Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:36:42 PM Watched it . . . [blinks twice] Watched Again F-U-C-K-I-N-G SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! |
 | Comment #58 by Steve-o85 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:38:19 PM HOLY *F*ING CRAP THAT TRAILER WAS AMAZING!!! A definite buy for the avid GTA fan... |
 | Comment #59 by ZonaBoy89 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:43:27 PM Whoever said that TLAD was lame is a fucking tard! This will be sick as fuck GTA DLC has set the bar for other companies to make better DLC |
 | Comment #60 by XBLsFinest Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:48:55 PM This is the reason why I bought a 360. |
 | Comment #61 by plinny1984 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 03:56:33 PM whats gona be better? downloading TLAD & TBOGT or waiting for the tales from liberty city one? |
 | Comment #62 by squirreltakos Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:01:48 PM new helicopter?! yeahhhh son |
 | Comment #63 by jorGe62990 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:07:07 PM This is going to be epic. Will 10x more fun than TLAD. That mission on the tower looks to be one of the best in GTA history. Climb to the top and then parachute off. All while being surrounding by four choppers! |
 | Comment #64 by jonesyboyuk Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:08:50 PM "Things got a bit crazy, and I somehow lost my pants" ROFL! |
 | Comment #65 by DaChiefOfOwnage Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:15:21 PM Attack helis, Nitro, airlifting trains, blowing up cranes and PARACHUTES!!! Holy SH*T! |
 | Comment #66 by Draconic Lord Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:25:02 PM Just the music was enough "awesomeness" for me. Amazing trailer. |
 | Comment #67 by Neon Lynx Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:45:19 PM that looks frakkin awesome!! |
 | Comment #68 by Bonkekook Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 04:54:31 PM So, RockStar finally figured out that they took a step back with GTA IV, and now we have to pay some more money for them to try and make it better(i.e. where it should have been in the first place). |
 | Comment #69 by ChumbaWumba91 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 05:01:41 PM The guy who loses his pants sound just like Omid Djalili the iranian comedian! |
 | Comment #70 by BadBoyKillah89 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 05:19:01 PM October 29th can't come fast enough! |
 | Comment #71 by Goldgunner007 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 05:40:18 PM awesome |
 | Comment #72 by waterhead71 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 05:48:23 PM @45 TLAD is possibly the best DLC ever released. On topic:Any info on price; Forza 3 and Tekken 6 comes out a day before that! |
 | Comment #73 by Some 0ne Again Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 05:50:34 PM Looks but man it's 40USD there in the U.S. Here in México it's going to be like 60USD :/ |
 | Comment #74 by DiamondD Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 06:30:47 PM Definitely copping that day of release. |
 | Comment #75 by Kiazzara Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 07:26:29 PM Onw word..... GAY. Lol jk it looks amazing! Cant wait. |
| Comment #76 by crazyeyes86 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 07:51:43 PM Here is some additional info from USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2009-08-31-gta-iv_N.htm |
 | Comment #77 by oOBloodOceanOo Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 07:54:01 PM First day, 5:30 a.m. EST download for me (that's usually the time things go live on the marketplace.) I still have hope that the next GTA can capture the magic that made the original trilogy so popular. |
 | Comment #78 by IllegalBLAZE Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 07:58:45 PM I'm buying this day 1. |
 | Comment #79 by mjc0961 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 08:17:21 PM Yeah, that was freaking awesome. I "HOLY SHIT!"-ed when I saw the train-jacking part. |
 | Comment #80 by Zacxx201 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 08:23:31 PM Kind of makes you wonder if they decided not to put the parachute in so they could make it as $20 later. |
| Comment #81 by BadBoyKillah89 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 08:25:19 PM @72 It's the same price as TLAD, 1600 Microsoft Points. |
 | Comment #82 by j schnitz Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 08:30:26 PM Defiantly a buy for me. |
 | Comment #83 by Alex Goodman Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 09:16:52 PM Bringing back the fun stuff, wicked. I bout GTA4 quite excited but felt kinda dissapointed because it was too serious. This looks to be good though :). Anyone reckon there's a possibility of a Vice City port sometime or is it stuck with playstation? |
 | Comment #84 by Milk Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 09:22:09 PM looks gay |
 | Comment #85 by FuriousAli007 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 11:09:52 PM Looks amazing. Gay Tony FTW |
 | Comment #86 by Cargot35 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 11:26:23 PM YES |
 | Comment #87 by MakoBallistic Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 11:30:09 PM ZOMFG, looks like the best bit of GTA ever!!! that has to be the PC version in the trailer cos i dont ever remember the 360 version running so smoothly. |
 | Comment #88 by Decent Fellow Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 11:32:42 PM Man, I sold my copy of GTAIV, but now I wish I hadn't. The missions got really difficult and I just got rid of it out of frustration. But now I can't decide if I should get GTAIV again and then get the expansions, or just get the Episodes package. Though I fear that if I just get Episodes, I'll feel like it's incomplete without the main game. Oh quite a dilemma indeed... |
 | Comment #89 by Sploitz85 Tuesday, September 01, 2009 @ 11:41:07 PM That music up for download anywhere? |
 | Comment #90 by Lunndonbridge Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 12:25:57 AM Do you play as the gay guy, cuz if you do thats just weird and would kinda ruin the badass factor of GTA. Otherwise the commercial I saw for it looks kinda cool, might be worth makin my roomate get it on his profile. |
 | Comment #91 by wh0ts0p Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 12:58:42 AM what does gay tony have to do with the game I know you kill french tom in the game but when do they make a gay tony reference |
 | Comment #92 by Patto Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 01:05:21 AM Yes new features. Just when you thought it could not get any better. Hope there are more episodes coming. |
 | Comment #93 by b3nnyth3gr33k Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 02:33:26 AM watched it twice already and OMG what an amazing trailer |
 | Comment #94 by Vandiloo Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 09:33:05 AM I really enjoyed The Lost and the Damned but this looks better, despite me much more being a biker type guy than a night club type guy in real life! So it's a day one download for me. |
 | Comment #95 by jgahagan Wednesday, September 02, 2009 @ 12:43:34 PM P90 & skydiving = Win. |
 | Comment #96 by pistol100 Friday, September 04, 2009 @ 02:34:55 AM this looks awesome! cant wait for this one! |
 | Comment #97 by Slater 94 Friday, September 04, 2009 @ 06:42:49 PM @53 I agree Vice City is the best GTA. Trailer looks awesome but I hope the campaign lasts longer than The Lost and Damned did. Also that chopper, cannot wait to take a ride in that. Jumping off buildings will never be the same again. |
| Comment #98 by Slater 94 Friday, September 04, 2009 @ 06:46:52 PM Luis Lopez (The guy you play) is only seen a few times in GTA IV & GTA IV:TLAD such as the museum mission, you see him in the cutscene and then on the mission where you trade the woman for the diamond, Luis goes to hand over the diamond in exchange for the woman. |
 | Comment #99 by Dport Tuesday, September 08, 2009 @ 12:00:28 AM If you get the stand alone disk do you need gta4 to play it? Sorry if it on a thread somewhere? |
