DLC with Michael's earlier story?

As we know, one of the protagonists is Michael, a retired criminal who is, for yet unknown reason, forced back into crime. He's a type of GTA protagonist who got rich from criminal activities, which would make a good DLC in my opinion. What do you guys think?

It would seem like a nice touch for DLCs to know the characters as their backstories, but I think it would be a bit too much work. Laziness and sales, who knows.

I don't think so. The first trailer indicates he came form somewhere else and Rockstar wouldn't make a whole new map for DLC.

It will be online stuff, guns ... cars..planes..tanks.

 

won't be story or an increase size of map.

I think the DLC's will be similar to those one from RDR (Without UNDEAD NIGHTMARE)...

They had only Multiplayer parts for new characters and the ability to play poker in free roam.

icon14.gif Real good idea.

Only problem I see is that Michael only recently moved to Los Santos, so in order to depict his previous life, a new map would be required.

Apart from that though it's a really interesting idea.

R* will probably release only Multiplayer DLC

This

 

i read that R* won't be releasing episodic "EFLS" dlc (which is a bad decision imo), so i wont expect much tbh.

 

 

 

the idea's cool though, but perhaps would be suited to gta IV, or if gta 6 is set in VC, maybe that could be his story (though his weather comment makes that a slight stretch)

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

They've got the fast switching. I think they'll add another character. But this time the DLC will be far more integrated into the main game, no separate expansions.

As much as I hate it, I'm afraid this would be the case.

 

This, of course, is pure speculation on my part, but I think the reason why they won't do episodes as DLC like in IV is because they may make a "Los Santos Stories" as a full release, maybe for next gen with improved textures to justify the full retail price.

I think its a really cool idea as you could maybe play around with the map a bit (like VC - VCS type changes) but that may make it a really big download and would contradict what theyve said about DLC.

What about the PSVita?

 

Are we ruling out a release for that, of Michael's past?

they wont have to do much to make this dlc. Presumably, Micheal was from Liberty City, so they already have the map created. just update a few textures, fix the trees, etc.

 

I really could see this one happening, as 2/3 of the work is already done.

Could be Michael in Liberty City (if that's where he's from) but seriously, what's the point? I think most people would rather not go back to LC.

But then it would be a DLC for IV. Which would be a cool thing to have BEFORE the release of V to get to know the character but I don't see it happening. Besides the earlier story of Michael has to have Trevor in it and they cannot implement the character switching thing in IV without major changes nor ignore Trevor.

Obviously you misunderstood me. It would just be the map from IV.

You got the character's name wrong, this bit's about Michael.

 

OT: I don't know... personally I'd be happy not to see LC any more, but then I don't have a RYvita. As far as the 'proper' consoles are concerned I think any DLC would implement a parallel story in the same style as GTAIV.

Woo hoo! A typo! it's like Christmas come early ain't it. YEAH!!!

 

Seriously dude, f*ck you. I spelled it like 90% of the people named Micheal (in America) spell it.

I think all will be revealed about Michael's past during the events of V. No need to make a separate DLC just to explain it. I like how mysterious R* makes some of their protagonists. James Earl Cash is a good example.

I feel as though Rockstar would implement this into the story without having to make a DLC. They wouldn't be so lazy (or at least I hope not) as to say "Here you are, here's your character, and uh oh yeah, he has some sort of past, but we'll only brush over that, moving on now."

 

Most likely, they'll explain what happened to him in a cutscene(s), or actually have a mission where you play in his past (not a bad idea, considering the fact that Michael sees a therapist, which in turn would make him relive or recount his stories. It'd be a neat gamplay element).

I really, really hope they bring something different. A change of tone to the story, like Undead Nightmare, not just more guns and some new missions.

Yeah, I think it's a bit too early to talk about having a prequel DLC when his story could, and probably will, be explained in the main game.

NO NO NOO! I swear... Stop talking about DLCs!!!!!!! The game isn't even out yet and we talk about DLCs!? Seriously, what's wrong with you guys? And, I'm pretty sure there ain't going to be that kind of DLC anymore and if there is, it's not going to be anytime soon.
