Rockstar pulled back the curtain on the trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto IV DLC expansion this morning and, well, let’s just say there seems to be a hell of a lot going on in it.
The Ballad of Gay Tony looks as though there may be a return to some of the more over-the-top aspects that got left behind when the series took a more serious tone with GTA IV. How over-the-top, you ask? How about helicopters with miniguns, pit fighting, golf carts driving through explosions, subway cars being airlifted away by other helicopters and parachuting out of still more helicopters?
Oh, and let’s not forget the dancing – lots of dancing. Though that’s less “over-the-top” and more “fabulous” really.
Either way, GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony will be dancing, exploding and parachuting your way (probably from a helicopter, no less) on October 29th when it hits Xbox Live as well as retails shelves as part of the “Episodes from Liberty City” disc alongside The Lost and Damned.
I really liked the trailer. I kind of missed some of the more over the top stuff from San Andreas when playing IV. Parachtuing was one of my favorite things in SA so I’m glad it’s back. Anyway, very cool trailer.
Fabulous!
GTA games have always been fairly lost for me (save for sudden and generally short urges to drive cars down sidewalks, kill a bunch of people and then murder some virtual police), but the trailer does look pretty cool.
I’m most interested in all of the gorgeous rainbow sparkles! XD
