Rockstar Games | Rockstar News Wire | The Next Social Club Official Ballad of Gay Tony Multiplayer Session with Rockstar on Xbox LIVE: Thurs Dec 17th, 4PM

Join us once again this week on Thursday December 17th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM Eastern Time - for a bit more fun and bloodshed with your friends at Rockstar Games, as we'll be back online playing The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer on Xbox LIVE.

In-game Party Mode worked swimmingly last time as a good way for us all to get together and jump into games, so look for us again this Thursday by using the in-game cellphone and selecting Party Mode > Ranked > Team Deathmatch (note that this is the in-game Party Mode, not the Xbox LIVE Party Mode).

SPECTATE AND CHAT
Can't get on Xbox LIVE at the given time? No worries. Join us at the Social Club Multiplayer Event page for a live streaming broadcast of the entire event. We'll have the chatbox up and running the day of the event for those of you who need a doubles partner or just want to come and yap away...

HOW TO FIND US
Grab a multiplayer partner and start up Ranked Team Deathmatch via Party Mode using the in-game cellphone. We're playing doubles again so make sure your team size is two. By starting up Team Deathmatch from Party Mode, you will be automatically placed in special lobbies together with us and other event participants. More info on using Party Mode is listed below.

NEED A PARTNER?
Hit up the chatbox during the event or just post your Gamertag in the Comments section below. Someone will pick ya up.

OFFICIAL ROCKSTAR GAMERTAGS
Participating Rockstar Gamertags for the event will be:

GwRockstar3
GwRockstar4
GwRockstar5
GwRockstar6

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches. Here are the 3 quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad. Select Multiplayer > Party Mode.
From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one more friend to play with Rockstar).
Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Ranked > Team Deathmatch for this event.

Again, please be sure that you enter the lobby in a group of two if you plan to get matched up against us and other players for the event.

Just want to say to all the people bitching if you were paid around $50 Million to make something you made exclusive to one party would you?

@ russelljones

Hey buddy yeah I agree it's like rockstar is forcing me to buy a 360. I've always been a major gta fan also but like you said russell I have lost some interest after this whole exclusive thing it really sucks ass hard.

(I do still like the GTA series, But ive just lost considerable interest in it from this whole exclustivity)

December 17, 2009 at 4:37pm

Ive always loved the GTA series, But I just dont really neccasarily care about it anymore, after this whole exclusive episode.

I hate exclustivity, Im not sayin its anyones falt, But it tears fans apart.

All the backlash Rockstar has getting I wouldnt doubt some of em regreted the exclusive deal.
(I dont know if it true but somewhere on the internet I read Rockstar said they where never doing exclusivtivity for a GTA again, Not sure if this is true, I just read it)

I just hope AGENT will be good, And have GTA features, A great storyline, and tons of weapons.

And hopefully it doesnt come out for Xbox 360 a couple months or a year later, That would be complete bulls**t.

But its a possibility.

And Im really looking forward to Red Dead Rdemption, Looks to be a great game and is a must buy for me.

Though now with every one of Rockstars games Im worried there gonna do some exclusive content for a console, I dont want any exclusitivity becuase ALL gamers should enjoy the things Rockstar games creates............Except AGENT (PS3 fans deserve it)

@ PS3 Fan Boys You Had 1.5 Years To Find Out Before You Bought Your GS3's,If Your Like Im A Fan Of GTA IV Then You Should Have Known That The DLCs Were Going To Be Exclusive And Should Have Gotten A 360,The DLCs Were Announced A Year And A Half Before The PS3 Was Released,Need I Say More

December 17, 2009 at 3:02pm

@aty_kiraly WTF Are You Talking About,There Are No "Small Requirements" To Play A Game,Just Pop The Disc In,I Hate PS3 With A Passion,And If You Dont Want To Pay Mere $7 Your Cheap,And If You Cant Afford It Your Poor,And Whoever Says Like I Like PSN Better Than XBOX Live Is Simply Cheap,Xbox Live Has The Best Community Out There,More Features,The Only Thing PS3 IS Good For Is The Web Browser Cause PS Home Is Gay,Even PS3 Users Say PS Home Sucks Just Look At Forums,Notice How Every Promo For A Mulitplatform Game Always Uses The 360 Version,Modern Warfare 2(Watch The New Modern Warfare 2 Walmart Commercial They Use The Xbox Version And They Compliment Xbox Live),Rockband,Borderlands,All CODS,Assasins Creed 1,I Could Keep Going On,FPS Are Better On Xbox 360 Cause Of The Controller,Those Mush,No Grip Trigger Buttons On The Ps3 Controller,The Six Axis Is Horrible,And Even In A Speech President Obama Said "Playing XBOX 360" Not PS3,The PS3 Montage Commercial Only Showed 4 Games,Need I Say More......................

Sweet!! my gamertag is iRwheezie :P

@ Future89

Please chill out okay man we're all friends here buddy. Anyway Sony is a great company and many other companies wish to be like them in fact i'm on my Sony Vaio laptop right now writing this comment. Again I agree with you ati_kiraly we would be confused if we didn't know what they were talking about in future games. When I first heard that 360 was getting two extra "episodes" I thought they were talking about like a show not a game.

@Future89

Hey, calm down, I was just saying that it would be good and anyways how is it my fault that I can't play the dlc, when I bought Gta 4 and my PS3 I didn't think that some dlc s will come out and we will just not get. I don't know why we got Gta 4 if we don't get to know the rest of the storyline.

This game is simply wonderful, I just love the city and the architecture. Sometimes I have to catch myself from thinking it's a photo. There's still places in Liberty I've never been before.

I've bought this game all 4 times, Xbox360, PS3 Special Edition, Episodes from Liberty and PC. I reeeeeaaaallllly like this game. :D

My God, these PS3 owners won't shut the f*ck up Smfh.....AGAIN, no one is to blame but you guys who bought the PS3. It was known months ahead of time before GTA 4 came out that the DLC was 360 exclusive. PC is looking to be getting it cause Microsoft makes Windows. Sony chose not to pay for the content which left you guys out so please, get a life and stop f*cking bitching about the DLC when you own a system by a company who doesn't care about their customers. R* is giving you guys Agent in place of the DLC.
