Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City will be released on the 29th of October 2009 for XBOX 360. It will include “The Lost and Damned” and “The Ballad of Gay Tony”. It will not require GTA IV. The RRP will be $39.99 in North America and $69.95 in Australia.
The Ballad of Gay Tony will also be available from XBOX Live and is expected to cost 1600 Microsoft Points ($19.99 USD). This cheaper version will require the GTA IV disc.
There has been a lot of GTA2 activity in the past few months.
B-$hep is creating a GTA2 map editor in Delphi.
Black Phoenix is reverse engineering GTA2 and creating OpenGBH/OpenGTA2 in C++.
T.M. is working on a map viewer and automated minimap generator in C++ and he might even make a PHP version. It can be used to create some really great images.
