GTA IV: Episodes From Liberty City box art
If you didn’t know, Rockstar is gearing up to launch a GTA IV DLC retail bundle called Episodes From Liberty City that is to include both The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The bundle is reportedly hitting store shelves this fall for $39.99 and will not require gamers to own the original GTA IV game.
Anyways, what you see above is the recently released official box art for the bundle for you to feast your eyes on.
Lost & Damned Clothing on Xbox Live
To celebrate the release of The Lost & Damned on Xbox Live today, Microsoft has added a number of free biker-themed items to dress up your Xbox 360 Avatar in. The new clothes can be found after signing into Xbox Live; they are designated by a yellow star.
New additions include rocker jacket, pixie boots and metal combats, among other things, for guys. Girls get ’60s boots, biker jacket, biker gloves, earrings and wrist bands.
The Lost & Damned is the first of two exclusive expansions for GTA 4, offering almost 10 hours of mission-based gameplay and fresh multiplayer modes.
Lost and Damned Multiplayer Detailed
With the release of The Lost and Damned expansion for GTA 4 looming, new information has come up on the new multiplayer modes.
The following details are from UGO who notes that they are exclusive to the expansion, which requires a copy of GTA 4 to play. It will hit Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow for $20.
Hit the jump for the full details.
Witness Protection
One team is cops, the other team is bikers. One of the cops is in a bus and must drive to random spots in the city to drop off government witnesses, while the other cops drive alongside the truck and provide defense against the bikers. The bikers are just trying to blow up the bus or kill the witnesses as they get out. It’s pretty frantic but very fast paced, since everyone spawns in a bike or a cop car when you die. Our well-organized team of cops will be able to keep the bikers at bay, but when the sides switched, our opponents managed to flip the bus on its side within the first 5 minutes. Whoops!
Race
Unlike GTA 4, Lost and the Damned limits racing to just bikes. The difference, though, is that everyone is equipped with a bat and can take out other racers by hitting the left or right face buttons. You can even charge your swing by holding down the button. The comparisons to Road Rage are pretty hard to ignore, though I did find it a little tough to knock someone off their bike, as each player can take at least 3 good swings before they go down.
GTA 4 Lost and Damned Priced
Rockstar has officially confirmed that the first Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable content pack for GTA 4 will cost 1600 Microsoft points ($20) when it hits Xbox Live Marketplace.
The price point was previously rumored by way of GameStop, who is selling pre-orders for DLC voucher codes.
The DLC will see the addition of around 10 hours of biker-themed gameplay, letting players take control of a new character. It is due out on February 17.
Grand Theft Auto IV: Lost & Damned sold at GameStop
If recent listings on their official website are to be believed, GameStop will be carrying Xbox Live Marketplace token cards good for one purchase of Grand Theft Auto IV: Lost & Damned.
GameStop makes it pretty clear in their listing that the package will not include a disc, instead stating that this product is stricly downloadable content.
However, for the $19.99 that you pay for the expansion, you’ll also be getting a 2 sided poster, yippee!
