TheGTAPlace.com - Latest News The latest Grand Theft Auto news from TheGTAPlace.com http://www.thegtaplace.com Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:01:52 +0000 The Times interviews Dan Houser http://www.thegtaplace.com/news/24450/the-times-interviews-dan-houser/ The online edition of The Times has posted a rare, in-depth interview with Rockstar's Dan Houser. The driving force behind Grand Theft Auto looks into the man's background, avoiding the public spotlight, the controversies brought about by GTA, and touches on future plans - albeit very briefly. The article is an excellent and very interesting read, you should certainly check it out if you can spare a few minutes.


As for the boys themselves, they are already back at work. There's a Western game in the works for next spring, and the next GTA to think of. “We'll think of a city first, then the characters,” says Houser. The script he will end up co-writing will run to around 1,000 pages, nearly ten times as much as a feature film.

Microsoft paid $50 million for the exclusive DLC, however, no details of the deal were ever made public - whether it was a timed or permanent exclusive, or whether it was an Xbox 360 or GFWL exclusive.

At the time of posting there is still no changelog for what else the patch does. Though as per usual there are a wide variety of opinions, some claiming small performance increases, while others say it "doesn't do dick"...

More on that when we get the changelog.]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:12:55 +0000 Chris http://www.thegtaplace.com/news/24429/tlad-coming-to-gta-iv-pc-looks-like-it-/ The Ballad of Gay Tony out now! http://www.thegtaplace.com/news/24384/the-ballad-of-gay-tony-out-now/ Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony is now available, it can be obtained in two ways.

It's a small, not particularly detailed picture, so we can't really tell much from it. Yet. What do you think?
