Quantcast



The long-awaited first bit of Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content The Lost and the Damned finally lives in the form of this first trailer, which you can see after the jump.

As with most Rockstar "joints," the trailer has a pretty heavy focus on its film-like production quality. While we have no idea what (if any) new types of gameplay we'll see, it's clear that Rockstar are aiming for a much different feel with The Lost and the Damned. It's subtle, but you can see it the use of color, voices, and even the music, Sepultura's classic track "Dead Embryonic Cells."

Oh, and there's a few new screens included here as well to whet your appetite for the DLC's February 17 release, only for Xbox 360.

Sepultura just made me want this even more. Perhaps I'll actually go back and finish the game now...

Hopefully they fix the motorcycles this time.

It was very annoying to see the front wheel on the bike turn while the handle bar remained completely still.

With the expansion focused on a biker gang, I hope they fix that stupid oversight.

Is this a Sons of Anachry game?

I hated the motorcycle missions in GTA IV and this DLC looks to add on even more of them. I'll be passing in that case.

This literally does look just like SOA... though, not as good. It's a bit heavy on the "kick-ass" notion.

Sepultura was my favorite band for a long time... I bought a B.C. Rich Warlock guitar when I was 16 years old because I wanted to be like Max Cavalera, lolz.

So nobody noticed the new weapon then? I saw a Jackhammer auto shotgun in there and I want it.

I also would love this because as somebody else said, this looks a lot like Sons of Anarchy

I hope this means they're adding a thrash metal or death metal station.

I saw the new weapon, too, Bunny. Can't wait to see it in action.

You know, I wasn't especially keen on the motorocycles, in retrospect. They were tricky, but *almost* unfairly so. I wonder if they'll incentivise using bikes, since its Johnny's "thing" to be a biker. Maybe make the car controls for Johnny really crappy (arguably more crappy, depending on where you sit on that issue)

So, this game has to take place before Niko arrives in the city since anybody who played the game knows how early on...


!ZOMG SPOILERS!


...Mikhail Faustin sends Niko to kill his daughter's "asshole boyfriend" Johnny.

Shit I totally forgot about that! Maybe the final mission in this story will be you running from Niko and then possibly killing him instead lol.

Sort of makes me sad in a way, seeing as Sepultura is pretty much disbanded now. Both cavaleras have left, bummer.

Actually, wasn't it a different Johnny, and this one in The Lost was the one that stole your diamonds and left you to the dealers?

Anyways, this is looking good so far. I noticed the combat shotgun with the drum mag, sweet. Hopefully this'll breathe some life back into the game.

lol I still hafta finish the main game. I'll probably be passing on this unless it becomes free over time. But I wouldn't pay 800 MS points let alone $50 million.

The trailer had at least 3 new guns:

- Autoshotty with a drum
- sawed off shotguns (used while on the bikes at that)
- .45 '1911' style pistol with a compensated barrel thingy

I'm really looking forward to this myself. I take it I'm in the minority of people who finished GTA4 or something?

This is the reason I haven't traded in GTA IV yet.

Hope this is either free or reasonably priced (Meaning not > 1200MS points). The additions looked good, but my poor 20GB HDD can't hold much more.

Sweet. Thats cool that Sepultura is used on this. They happen to be one of my favorite old school thrash bands. It seems that their songs are being used in alot of things. Hell even in Talledega Nights they used a song from the same album as this one.
