Console tribe news - Rockstar annuncia l'espansione The Ballad of Gay Tony e...

di: Antonio "Difio" Di Finizio

Rockstar ha da poco annunciato il secondo contenuto esclusivo a Xbox 360 per Grand Theft Auto IV. L’espansione, di cui ancora non abbiamo dei dettagli precisi, si chiamerà “The Ballad of Gay Tony” che ci farà impersonare Luis Lopez, assistente di Tony Prince, proprietario di un nightclub di GTAIV. Il contenuto costerà quanto il predecessore, ovvero 1600MP (corrispondenti a circa 18?) e sarà rilasciato entro fine anno.

Le sorprese non finiscono qui: Rockstar ha anche annunciato che, sempre verso fine anno, verrà rilasciato nei negozi una versione su disco di tutti e due i contenuti, The Lost and Damned e The Ballad of Gay Tony, in un unico DVD al prezzo di 39.99$. Cosa più importante, e che delizierà molti utenti, è il fatto che con questo DVD non sarà necessario possedere Grand Theft Auto IV per giocare alle due espansioni. Basterà inserire il disco e scegliere quale dei due contenuti giocare.

Rockstar Games Announces Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony for Download on Xbox LIVE® and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City Available on Disc for Xbox 360® this Fall

Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce the fall release of both the second episode of Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony – exclusively for download on Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network, and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, which will include both episode one The Lost and Damned, and episode two The Ballad of Gay Tony together on a single disc exclusively for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

?Liberty City is the most vibrant game world we?ve created yet. The episodic structure has allowed us to interweave stories, gameplay and atmosphere in a whole new way,? said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. ?The team at Rockstar North have yet again surpassed themselves, and made something that is both epic and very innovative. This episode?s focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities.?

Grand Theft Auto IV?s second downloadable episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka ?Gay Tony?), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City delivers two games on one disc – the all-new episode The Ballad of Gay Tony and the first episode, The Lost and Damned – together on disc for the first time – for Xbox 360 for $39.99 and will not require a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV to play.

The Ballad of Gay Tony will release on Xbox LIVE this fall for $19.99 or 1600 MS points and requires players to have Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE membership to download.
