Sam Houser chats about Grand Theft Auto IV Episodes

Sam Houser, co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, has talked a little bit on what some of the downloadable XBOX 360 episodic content might be, and how does it play.

“In the game, you might be walking around and then someone will come up to you and say something like, ‘Hey, I need your help’, and you’ll be like, ‘What? this isn’t a story mission’, and he’ll be like, ‘You see that room up there? That’s my wife and she’s f*cking some bloke, and I need you to go and do…’ and this little story will unfold from there just randomly,” he explained to Edge magazine.

The opportunity for things like that I would say is enormous. Really, though, for the downloadable content in general, it’s about seeing how people get turned on by the game, and then we will tailor the production. We are very tuned into the reactions of the audience and we will go a certain way or another.”

Sam Houser also stated that the Grand Theft Auto IV ‘episodes’, as they are called, would be “pretty deep, offering another full-on adventure in this world” and that “you’ll get a lot of content for your money”, just as you should do with a fully-boxed game, and we should really think of it as the next-generaton versions of Vice City and San Andreas.
