Mister Pink Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I read Houser (I think) said they wont do episodic DLC like Episodes...' for GTA V. What does this mean for us? Can we expect more smaller packages of DLC? And for how long after? As far as I recall Rockstar were generous enough with DLC for Red Dead Redemption, offering DLC for quite some time after. Even courtesy DLC as a thank you for the continual success of RDR. Which sort of DLC would you prefer. 1 or 2 lots of big episodic content? Or a variety of smaller DLC but spread our over a couple of years? http://www.shacknews.com/article/71158/roc...c-in-the-future Edited November 22, 2012 by ThePinkFloydSound MOVING LIKE BERNIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5000 Staples Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) It will be EA type DLC but cheaper/free. I would like RDR type DLC... its wasn't massive (take away the undead) but it was enjoyable. A new gun/car now and then online features..new stuff. But if they try and sale me ONE CAR for £5 / 8$... No. I won't be buying anything. Edited November 22, 2012 by 5000 Staples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise Episodes..' didn't do to well. Wow, that's crap because they put so much in to that DLC although, I think they wanted to get away with these DLC's as almost 'sequels' to IV without making a new map.

The Notorious MOB Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 No, no episodic DLC. The DLC for GTA V will most likely be Multiplayer only or some Multiplayer and some Singleplayer stuff like weapons, vehicles and clothes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokrie Dela Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This is bad! So we'll have just GTA V for more 5 years?? No, surely we will get Agent and Red Dead 3 in that time at least. True, but realise that they're different games. Many of us love RDR and GTA, but they are not that similar imo. There are few games that satisfy my GTA itch. RDR is not one of them, instead it created a "western" itch, and that GTA can not scratch. Rockstar really set the bar high with EFLC, and i believe that this new bold direction is the culmination of GTA IV, and EFLC, with the tri story arcs. This time we're getting "the possible trinity" (many of you will know that) in one game, instead of 3. This is a good thing, and i think the inclusion of the 3 protags will stand in for the DLC. Perhaps DLC did not sell too well (I see little evidence of that, and i have seen nothing to support saying rockstar backed out of a - might i add - legally binding contract) or perhaps it did, but the quality of it is one i have not seen too much of in gaming. Rockstar's focus on "smaller DLC" worries me greatly. I think we're looking at Multiplayer DLC only. I dont play much multiplayer and it's sad that that is the direction gaming is going in. It also looks as if Rockstar are caving in to the "ubisoft" tactic - release a game then charge for tiny DLCs, and ultimately i can see rockstar whoring their content out with multipl preorder and exclusive DLC, missions cars etc. The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Freezer89 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This is bad! So we'll have just GTA V for more 5 years?? In terms of size, features and contents it will be greater than IV and EFLC combined. Not really a loss there.. also who knows, maybe we get the next GTA already in three years. Not that I believe it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INEEDVNOW Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 No, no episodic DLC. The DLC for GTA V will most likely be Multiplayer only or some Multiplayer and some Singleplayer stuff like weapons, vehicles and clothes etc. Thats too bad. I loved the Episodes DLC. Some DLC that was worth paying for in stead of those ''OMG 3 NEW WEAPONS FOR JUST $25!!'' DLC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkshade12 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I think V's DLC will be more to do with the multiplayer part of the game. I'm sure that with this new HUGE map, Rockstar are going all out on the multiplayer as well as the singleplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's not GTA though.. I think I want a variety of content fed to us over a spead out time. I hope to have some GTA stuff to look forward to in 2 years time. Maybe new multiplayer options, characters, vehicles, guns. Having said that, I don't want DLC, 2 months after with weapons that just going to make me think they should have been there already. I want DLC that reflects something that the general consenus of after a few months playing, that the game could have done with this or that. Not the game could have always done with this or that, but here it is now...for a FEE!. MOVING LIKE BERNIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Guys, all we know is they want to make smaller DLC's. Not that we wont get new missions or playable characters etc. With the character switching mechanic they've got a very easy way to put a new playable character in the game. The new character would come with a few new cars, weapons and of course missions but it'd just be smaller. But it'll also integrate into the main game more cleanly, the new cars/weapons could be acquired by all protags. Red Dead has smaller DLC and it still has the entire Undead Nightmare expansion. We can still expect decent-sized DLC, just not full-fledged expansions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was very happy with the single player dlc R* lavished on us in IV & RDR (even though I had to wait for the retail discs). It seems multiplayer dlc requires much less time & money to create but it also seems to split the online community. Although that's just what I've read, as I didn't have access to online multiplayer until recently (bought a PS3). GTA games are such great value for money & the three protagonists are like free dlc anyway, when compared to IV. I wouldn't mind seeing a few extra missions for each character, as long as it's not overpriced. I don't want to see packs that contain extra cars, guns, clothes etc. R* shouldn't sink to that level, as it would be the start of me losing respect for them & being No.1 in ny top three favourite developers (games & business ethics).

poiuytrew Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 i could see dlc that is kinda off the wall happening, small packs with small stories, but lots of minigames to show a different side of the world, perhaps something like a pack that gives franklin or possibly lamar a short narrative (4-5 "missions" at most) around a gang war system like in san andreas, with tagging, territory war and drug dealing possible, or an trevor, or one of his offsiders with another short story, but keeping drugs and guns moving around, and sourcing chemicals or making meth and the like, or something that has one of the main characters end up in jail, and the dlc is a small story based in jail, with a system of smuggling, and playing the gangs off one another, and then maintaining a dominant position in the place by taking out tough new prisioners or undermining alliances and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorider420 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I prefer a DLC that doesn't force you to buy it, in order to keep playing multiplayer. I stopped buying new games a long time ago, because a month after you buy it, DLC time, and then nobody plays on the old maps anymore. It pisses me the f*ck off. If I pay $60 for a game, I am NOT going to pay another $30 just so I can follow all the other lemmings onto the new multiplayer maps. However, I would like some small (free or very-low-$) DLCs that add more vehicles or w/e... MORESO, I would love a MODDING DLC for the PC, even if it costs another $60, a developer kit for making vehicles, skins, trainers, etc would be AWESOME!!! (Just like UT2004 and UT3).
