USAToday has an artile up on their website that gives us the details to the much talked about Downloadable Content that will be coming out for Grand Theft Auto 4. Called "The Lost and the Damned", the new xbox exclusive (for now) content follows a brand new character called Johnny Klebitz who is a member of a biker gang called The Lost.
"Johnny is a very different character than Niko [Bellic], with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."
No specific details were given regarding how many hours of gameplay the new content would add to the game, nor is there a difinitive answer as to how much the new content will cost.
Rudden hopes the episode costs $15 or less, but Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter expects a $20 price and says Rockstar could sell 2 million to 3 million downloads. "I see episodic content as a natural progression of the quality of downloadable content."
Personally, I'm just worried that the story is about a biker gang. I don't know about you, but the motorcycle missions in GTA4 are the missions I hated the most. If you so much as hit a curb wrong or bump a car you can go flying off of your bike, and if you're trying to chase someone while on a bike the constant falling off can be really annoying. I'm really hoping that the new content won't feature a ton of motorcycle missions. If it does, I may just have to pass on picking this up.
