A little something like what?

fail!

massive fail indeed.

i hope you can run people over and break their legs off

And any confirmation of the rumoured price of 1600 Points?

how much is 1600 points in real money??

About £14.

A little something like blank space. :-)

* Get Good Wood – 50 – In the Bike Races, whack off 69 bikers with a bat.
* Easy Rider – 100 – Finish The Story
* Full Chat – 70 – Your backup are riding at their best!
* The Lost Boy – 25 – All hail the leader of The Lost!
* One Percenter – 5 – Billy is back on his bike.

Eurogamer can thank me later.

They didn't put it in their article for spoiler reasons?

Speaking of which... there's nothing to spoil by the looks of it...

Nah they didn't put it in because they forgot. They already said on the main page not to click if you don't want to know them :-)

I couldn't bother finishing the game proper, so this will be a non-buy for me. I don't know, but the game just couldn't suck me into it.

I should say that at 1600 points I'm probably also not interested. Just because Microsoft splurged $50mil to be able to bang on about exclusive DLC, does not mean that I shall definitely be picking up the tab for them. I love GTA IV, but I hate getting ripped off more than I love GTA IV.

800 points would be fine, 1200 if it is genuinely game-changing, but 1600? No, thanks.

Has there been download content which has ever been 1600 points?

I think The Shivering Isles for Oblivion was 1600 when it first came out.

No that was 2400 points...

It doesn't look interesting enough to be worth 1600 points. 1200 maybe...but its been to long and i've moved on from the game now.

Vampires?

Instant buy.

Wait just a god damn minute, this DLC has been in the works a long time, I've heard it's gonna offer10 plus hours of gameplay. If the price is 1600 Points, I say it's a great deal, alot of time and money has been put into this, and you just want MSoft to give it away?, get the fuck out of here.

"It doesn't look interesting enough to be worth 1600 points", how the fuck would you know, all you have seen is a trailer, muppet. OH 1200 is too much, 1600 is way too much ahgoogoogaggaa, baby need's his bottle.

Nice.

Is there an acheivement for playing all the way through the game without getting bored half way?

Is there an acheivement for playing all the way through the game without getting bored half way?

Yes.

Shivering Isles did cost 2400 at release ( Dan you should know this) and i bet this will cost the same. Even so its a very good deal imo.

"Has there been download content which has ever been 1600 points?"

Penny arcade episode one.

For some reason that first achievement gives me an image that there a Road Rash style situation in this one

God you guys are tight fisted if a step up from 1200 to 1600 is utterly beyond comprehension. Shivering Isles was amazing in scope for DLC, and while not worth 2400 I'd certainly have paid 1600 (In the end, having already bought it on the PC, I bought the disc, installed the DLC, traded it for nearly market price and downloaded something else with the returns... ;-).

It seems to be just different enough to offer that value. Personally, I think the Burnout DLC has the best balance of any I've seen seen so far - extensive freebies as well as extensive paid content.

Neither the bikes or the cars/island currently in development add fundamentally game changing features, but they get you back into the game and provide just enough new features. I'd have paid 800 MSP for the bikes I think, provided they threw in some new acheivements for my money. Similarly, given enough new features and the precedent set by the bikes DLC I'll certainly download the new Burnout stuff.

I just hope it's not simply a reskinned Niko on a bike all the time with one or two new types of event/freeform mission and a linear mission structure...

Oh yeah, and can someone clarify exactly where all these vampire rumours sprang from and whether there is anything to them?

Yeah R* released a zombie into multiplayer Liberty City, so it's not beyond their reach to throw in a little supernatural craziness, yes it's called "Lost and Damned" and has blood in the logo in the trailer...

Has anyone actually got anything more than this? That acheivement is word play that could be nothing or could be a reaction to fan speculation... Although it does make you think; back on his bike again after what?
