It appears that Rockstar San Diego, developers of Red Dead Redemption, are working on their next open-world experience. Some recent job postings on Gamasutra show that, among other positions, Rockstar San Diego are looking for a Gameplay Programmer and a Network Programmer, both of which are for an open-world game. This is definitely exciting news when looking back on Rockstar San Diego's past, from Smuggler's Run and Midnight Club on the PS2, all the way to the highly praised Red Dead Redemption. With this kind of track record, it is easy to get excited about what might come next from this division of Rockstar Games. [Source: Gamasutra]

Rockstar: Episodes from Liberty City coming to PlayStation 3

In a move that proves that 50 million price tag was for nothing more than a timed exclusivity deal, Rockstar North has officially announced Episodes from Liberty City is coming to the PlayStation 3. These two downloadable episodes for the highly reviewed Grand Theft Auto IV features 15+ hours of extended gameplay in the form of The Lost And The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Surprisingly enough, Sony can thank Microsoft for paying for this additional content and PlayStation 3 owners can now enjoy the content itself. While I, personally, am not too excited for this addition, it's great for those of you who have been waiting for this announcement over the course of the last year. Sure, it's late, but who cares? It's one less thing to miss out on, right? The two downloadable episodes will be made available come March 30th and can be purchased separately. You guys excited for this? [UPDATE] - We've heard on the grape vine that the Episodes will be available on one Blu-ray disc for $40, or purchasable separately on the PlayStation Store for $20 each.

Rockstar promises big things for PS3 owners in 2010

Are you one of the many PlayStation 3 owners that are a little disappointed that you couldn't play the episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV? Don't worry. Rockstar understands your frustration and apparently they have big things in store for PS3 owners in 2010. While speculation is one of the best things going in the industry, we're going to assume that either 2010 will be the year PS3 owners finally get their hands on GTA IV's episodic content or that Rockstar may be announcing another prime exclusive for the PlayStation 3. Most will point their fingers to Grand Theft Auto 5, but we're hoping for a new property much like The Agent. If you're wondering where this info is coming from, well, today, Rockstar published more answers to their fan's questions on their official blog. This was one of the responses when questioned with content on the PlayStation 3. The question posed was, “I was highly anticipating the release of The Ballad Of Gay Tony, but just found out that it is only on the XBox360. I am certain that I am not the first person to ask this, but how come it wasn't released on the PS3?”

Which Rockstar replied, "We know that it continues to be an often-asked question – and believe us, we understand the frustration of PS3 owners like yourself who haven’t been able to play any of our most recent releases. All we can say is that we at Rockstar promise to be very good to you with our releases in 2010. Please stay with us and stay tuned!"

We look forward to finding out exactly what this is! There's also news on the oft hidden L.A. Noire. The game was originally presumed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but with Rockstar handing Agent to Sony, this game is expected to be for the Xbox 360 and PC also. The question for the past year or so was whether the game actually exists. A question asked, "Your latest word on L.A. Noire is that it is coming along "splendidly" and that we can expect more details very soon, but that was in September. I've been anticipating this game for ages now and I was wondering if you can provide any new information or when in fact you'll publicly provide more information. By the way, is it still on the PS3?"

And Rockstar replied: "There will be something great to see soon - a proper in-depth look at the game and why it is so ground breaking and innovative, both in terms of the game's design and the amazing new technology to support it. Expect to see a long-awaited reveal via a big cover story next month."

It's about time! Source
