《侠盗猎车IV》x360版追加章节详情公开

接管

 

自发售之前就一直被拿来当作重要筹码大力宣传的X360版《侠盗猎车IV（Grand Theft Auto IV）》的追加下载内容，今天终于正式对外公布了首批情报。    据《今日美国》报道，这个标题为“Lost and Damned（迷失的和该死的）”的追加章节，预定于明年2月17日发售。追加部分将选择独立于原作之外的剧情和主人公，所以尼可在其中没有多少戏份，其角色可能将相当于路人甲之类的NPC。
    Rockstar方面透露说，追加章节的主人公名叫强尼·克里比茨，是原作中一个名为“The Lost”的摩托车飞车党的成员，其性格和身份都与原作主人公尼可大不相同，下面是援引自Rockstar的Dan Houser接受采访时的发言：
    “强尼有着与尼可完全不同的背景，所以两个人的性格也截然不同。我不能在这里剧透，因为我们决定在追加内容发售前尽量不提及剧情。不过我可以告诉你，追加章节将为你展现自由城的另外一面。”
    Dan Houser还透露，追加章节将为玩家提供更丰富的拓展内容和更长的游戏时间，他还暗示现在大家所看到的自由城仅仅只是其全部面貌的一小部分而已。
除了新追加的剧情外，Rockstar官方还确认新章节将增加全新的交通工具、新武器、新曲目和新的联机游戏模式。另外官方还透露，X360独占下载章节共有两个，此次公布的是其中的第一章，Rockstar希望借新章节来补完剧情的同时，延伸《侠盗猎车IV》本身的互动性和可玩性。

 

The upcoming episode of the video game Grand Theft Auto IV looks to be a wild one.
GTA IV, which was released in April for the Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, focused on former Eastern European soldier Niko Bellic and his escalating life of crime in the boroughs of Liberty City. This new episode, available Feb. 17 via download exclusively for those who own the Xbox 360 version (no price yet), stars Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost.
"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, 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."

 

The episode, titled The Lost and Damned, requires players to have the full version of the Mature-rated GTA IV (ages 17 and older) and an Xbox Live membership to download. It's likely to carry an M rating, too. (Parents can use the Xbox 360's parental controls to prevent children from accessing inappropriate content.)
GTA IV is the top video game this year; nearly two-thirds of the 5 million copies sold have been for Xbox 360, according to The NPD Group.

In the original game, Niko crossed paths with The Lost several times. This time, Niko has only a bit part, Houser says. "The story is not directly impacted by decisions you took in the main game," he says. But "tons of details and mysteries from the main story get explained, so it will add a lot of color to the main story."
'Damned' will offer hours of gameplay, not just extras
Rockstar Games has been fine-tuning its explorable 3-D virtual worlds since launching its first "sandbox" game with Grand Theft Auto III in 2001.
The new game will let you download more sandbox time. "We feel like we've only scratched the surface in terms of the depth and detail in" GTA IV's mythical Liberty City, says Houser.
Previous games have used downloads to add "new stages, weapons and costumes," says GamePro Media features editor Dave Rudden, "but GTA IV's content will reportedly add hours of gameplay."
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."
