"I don't know" when GTA IV DLC will be released, says Xbox Live boss News
Xbox 360 News by Ellie Gibson
John Schappert, the man in charge of Xbox Live, has admitted he's no idea when we'll see the downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV.
Last we heard, the DLC - which is exclusive to Xbox 360 - was down to be released "this autumn".
But, well, it's October now. So during a roundtable interview at the Tokyo Game Show, we asked Schappert whether we will indeed see the content this side of Christmas.
"Frankly, I don't know," said the Xbox Live boss. "Rockstar are the people to ask for that."
He went on to add, "I hope as a gamer, just like I'm sure you do as a gamer, the sooner the better. I can't wait for it." Even though, Schappert confirmed, he hasn't had the chance to give it a play as yet.
The corporate vice president of Live software and studios, entertainment and devices division, to give him his full title, delivered a keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show earlier today. You can read our live text report for the full lowdown, and there's much more from Schappert in the full interview.

"No hurry - too many games coming out to bother with this anyway"
Too true. I personally hope its not out til 2009 because I won't have time to play it with everything else out |

/\ That's the sound of someone dropping the ball on GTA4's DLC. Most people moved on from this game a long time ago, and by now I'm not sure how many people are excited about going back to it. |

If they take too long in getting this out it could seriously damage them considering how much they apparently spent for it. Wait to long and people become disinterested in the game and don't buy it.

For rockstar's sake it had better be soon before people forget about this game completely, the single-player game was far too easy so most finished it months ago, and with all the great games in the next few months i know i want by thinking of extra bits for a game i played ages ago.
Anyway, Saints Row 2 > GTA 4 DLC |

I guess they are not bothered now that the sales have already been made on the promise of DLC. I bought the PS3 version and was quite jealous of the exclusive DLC but the game's effect has now work off

If its good enough of course people will be interested long after the game was released. It might even feel like GTAV imo.
I think its a good thing that it takes time to release it. It will feel like a fresher experience i guess. |

But, well, it's October now. Sorry, last I heard October is still in the Autumn, as is November... |

IDK where the idea that "no one plays GTA 4 anymore" comes from. It's still in the top 10 most played 360 titles. I guess we tend to measure the whole world by our tastes/actions.
edit: by the tone of his answer, he seems a bit pissed with Rockstar. I don't how MS can rush it or have anything to do with its development.

@ Thunderbolt!
I know I know!! I've been quite busy this month, I'm trying though. But I do a few missions and move on to something else! I've got such a backlog of games and not enough time!! Sad thing is there is shitloads coming over the next few months as well! / plans to dedicate this weekend to much needed catch up on gaming (if girlfriend allows!) |

Have officially stopped being excited about the prospect of GTAIV DLC now. Rockstar are probably still too hungover from the 'RIP Jack Thompson' party to be actually making stuff.
