Did you ever get the feeling that the fine folks at Rockstar were just trying to piss people off?
Earlier today, Rockstar Games announced the second downloadable add-on for Grand Theft Auto IV. The title? Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
I'm going to let that sink in for a moment. Now, like you - I had my doubts when I first read it, but yes, The Ballad of Gay Tony is real, and it's coming to Xbox Live this year.
"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 Rockstar's creator Sam Houser. "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."
The new chapter follows the story of one Luis Lopez, personal assistant to Night Club Manager Tony "Gay Tony" Prince. According to the press release 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."
Also announced today was "Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City," a disc of both The Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The retail only disc is expected to hit shelves around the same time as the new content hits Xbox Live.
Anyone want to start a pool as to when people start objecting to the game before even playing it?
