10/23/2008 at 5:35 pm #11808Quote:A new Eugenics Inc. “ad” has appeared on RockStar Social Club, issuing a vague quarantine order locking down the mysterious company’s compound due to a contagious disease outbreak. Eugenics Inc. is a physical location in Grand Theft Auto IV, located in Bohan, though it doesn’t play into any part of the game … yet.
The quarantine announcement is actually the second Eugenics Inc. display to appear on Social Club, following a “Sperm for Cash” ad posted in April (now removed), which, to date, has never been an actual in-game activity. Obviously, Rockstar is proliferating the company’s existence for some purpose, right?
Last we heard, Microsoft confirmed the exclusive GTA IV DLC for this fall — so, any day now. The quarantine posting (unobstructed text after the break) has sparked some speculation that the DLC could be tied to Eugenics’ mess. Namely, a potential zombie outbreak! With art assets already in place, what’s to stop Rockstar from turning GTA IV into a “28 Days Later” scenario? Keep your eyes peeled.
Sounds good to me if true

Today’s earlier rumor about a viral outbreak in Grand Theft Auto IV has borne fruit – icky, decaying, zombie fruit. It turns out that the zombie apocalypse has come to Liberty City, but not in the form of DLC. It’s a tweak that’s been made to the game’s multiplayer modes just in time for Halloween.
According to a news update on the Rockstar Social Club site, a virus introduced into the game world turns players into zombies (or at least bestows them with the zombie skin) and “can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection.” The post also mentions that signs of infection include gaining access to the zombie skin in multiplayer or earning the “Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie” Achievement (on 360).
The Social Club site has been updated with a new community feature that lets registered users check to see if they’ve been “infected,” as well as access US and world maps displaying the spread of the “disease.” We’ve contacted Rockstar on the off chance they’re willing to spill some details on how long we’ll be riding out this outbreak.

I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]
