tempz1992 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) In all realism, this wont work and i dont think they will incorperate this into there game HOWEVER, ill tell you my "Idea" and you can disscuss People are talking about SCALE, Things to do, Oppertunitys Burgalrie's, Drug dealing, Customization, Property's Everything is interactable, Now everyone gets on about There's only so much you can put onto a disc and only so much a console can take, What about this though The inital start up process of you jizzing as you watch them first loading screen's loads the inital start phase of the game, THEN BAM You are promted to download a 10-20gig Download from Xbox live or the PSN updater ( No idea what its called sorry ) That inturn Load's All them little niggily Feature's you all crave so much Think about it, You can download any game of the xbox live market place, 7gig, 8gig, 10gig, It does not matter, rockstar could if they so wanted too, Make it the exact Same concept, You get the disc, insert it loads the initial feature's you get a promp Download a 10-20gig patch onto your hard-drive, Every Gamer in the world has everything they have ever wanted, ON THIS generation Console, the possibilitys of this Are endless, And this is VERY Do-able In essence it work's like A DLC, Except its the GAME and its FREE of charge to download, And you Get EVERYTHING you could ever imagine you ever wanted in Grand theft Auto, i honestly believe if they did this, No game would ever come close to it again, and it would make Double the money any GTA has ever made, Just image the Advertising potential? Want to rob a store, you can do it, Want full customization, we got it, want to drug deal, we got it, Want to be a cop as a side story we have it, want to rob people blind, we got it, Want Full realism in car's and driving, we got it, want Fighting to be amazing, we got it, Seriously the possiblitys with this are ENDLESS. There are down side's to this i do realise, But just imagine it.... disscuss Edited June 20, 2011 by tempz1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adler Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sounds like a lot of fan-service. They couldn't possibly let you download for free but it would be nice... Though sometimes I'd rather wait for a new game than update one. A change of setting is a lot to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleBlower Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Well, not everyone has access to the internet, let alone a good connection. Why would we have to download all of these features in the first place? If we're going to download EVERYTHING, then there would be no room left on my console, genius. My PS3 Slim has 20gb left out of the 120gb it came with when I bought it. I'm sorry, but your idea isn't very good at all. You wouldn't even be able to introduce new ideas to future GTA titles because effectively killing the series before it could be introduced to a newer generation of consoles.

tempz1992 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 It would be a Brand new game, not an update the patch just contain'd Everything else that cannot be fit onto a disc to the above poster you would have to download them because a disc could not possibly hold all of the information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Legend Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 You got it, you got it bad, when your on your on the phone... Your idea sounds too good to be true.

pdbq Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Couple of flaws, as mentioned, 20gig would take for agesss for A lot of people, think after 6 years of waiting for it, you buy. £40 game, run home, all of a sudden your session is put on a lengthy hold to download a 20gig upload. I think a better idea would be to either, come with two discs, one of which you play and the other you upload to your hard drive. Or you put the added content on a USB which you have in the console whilst main disc is on, or Microsoft pull their finger out and take a page from sonys book and develop a 50gb disc. ....btw, I contribute £40 a year on live costs for xbox, + game costs and dlc to Microsoft for my XBOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempz1992 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thank you for all the feedback, as i stated there was always going to be flaw's with the idea, i just thought it was something that is a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzerwazzer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Alternatively, a company could make a console that uses SD cards instead of discs.. Sort of similar to how they used to use cartridges. I'm no tech expert but it sounds good in my head. Any size game the developer wants to make, yano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilnerLUFC Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You also forgot about the users who don't have the bigger HDD on their consoles, and would struggle to fit even a 5gb download on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_stu Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's a nice idea, way to think outside the box. But it would be impossible to pull off. Still it's a nice thought, really would be the best thing in the history of mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullit1990 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) The idea itself isn't that bad. But some people don't have the Hdd space or internetspeed. But what if it would be downloadable one thing at a time? Full car or character customization? Just download that single mod. That way the downloads wouldn't be too big and people can select their own special mods. Edited June 21, 2011 by Bullit1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger16 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd definitely prefer this kind of dlc than another set of story missions. I like missions but I get bored eventually. New gameplay features are, I feel, more important. This concept isnt even all that new, the sims series has had expansion packs for over 10 years now. They implement new gameplay features into the base game. Also, it's on disc which is important and unfortunately where I think your idea has no purpose. The download time and required intenet connection are easily solved with an expansion pack disc. You might even find in years to come, Rockstar will copy the sims. Releasing a base game and then expansion pack discs* with all the extras people want. This is why the sims has such vast gameplay. Also, you'll notice that different studios make the sims expansions (the core gameplay doesnt suffer as a result) which means R* north wouldnt be caught up rushing to finish ep's so they can begin work on the next title. Therefore, the next cannon of GTA wouldnt be delayed. Another bonus is that gamers would be able to choose what content they want to buy. The only real downside is the fact that Rockstar would get away with charging us 40 bucks an expansion. That being said, sims fans never go more than 6/12 months without a considerable amount of new gameplay being put on offer. As for the hardrive space being a problem. I reckon if people where only downloading what it is they wanted, they wouldn't run into as many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if people where only downloading what it is they wanted, they wouldn't run into as many problems. I actually like the idea of DLC/extra content but when it is actually an extra, not when it is a pre-order bonus and everybody else gets it a month later, people say it is not fair, but the people who pre-order usually pay a premium price anyway, but if they have it ready at the time of release, why wasn't it included in the game? The good kind of DLC was like with GTA IV, they released two mini-stories that included a lot of the things that people found were not included in GTA IV, such as more variety in missions and a more outgoing story, more side-missions, better motorcycle physics, this sort of DLC is great. This DLC is worth the extra money, these are basically improvements on the game not originally thought of or did not have time to implement, people complain about paying extra, but i think it is only fair otherwise there would be no point in upgrading the game.

But thats not what we're talking about here, we're working through different ideas as to how different 'features' can be added to the game and it is my belief that such features would be best implemented through expansion pack discs(or downloads also). As for the type of dlc's you're talking about, I agree that downloading is sufficient. Hell, there is an option to download everything but I still think the discs are a necessity. Also, the type of dlc's you talk about are seperate from the game. They may be addons but they dont have any effect on the base game whatsoever, we're talking about dlc's/expansions that specifically do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempz1992 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 The concept of buying the addon's on a seprate disc could work also, but the core game would most likly have to be Installed onto your hard-drive for the new content to load, otherwise you would be loading new content with no city -_-, Still a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is it that you're installing whenever you put a GTA game in your console for the first time?(the install goes for ps3 anyway, cant speak for 360). The pen drive idea might work (like put the base game on that) but I don't know if it would work. Surely it would have been done already if it were possible? As for the space problem, I don't know what people put on their consoles. I know some 360's have little hardrives but on my ps3 (80gig), ive got over a thousand songs, god knows how many videos, a fair few pictures and lots of games. Infact, i actually have too installed directly on the console through download (therefore no disc is ever used). The point being, even with all that, I still have plenty of hardrive space. Is it not possible to use an external hardrive anyway? Edited June 22, 2011 by Tyger16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allhailkingryan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't like it. What's wrong with multiple discs? And 20GB would be ridiculously huge, more than what the current consoles could handle at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
