Starting to snow online

[PoeticWhisper]

 

 

 

 

How are the naysayers and festive killers explaining away the videos ?

 

Ive got hope that there will be some sort of Christmas DLC...But like I said earlier, those videos look modded, the snow seems like its just there, theres nothing leaving marks on it like your feet or car tyres. Yankton left trails so I dont see why this wouldnt

 

Do you know how long it would take to make a mod that covers everything in snow.? It's more likely in the game files already and has just been enabled through some tools

 

 

 

Guys look in either your PS3 or Xbox hardrive. There is a new file that would put there with 1.08

 

 

That's what I have been saying, looks like a hidden update and things will begin to trigger off tonight/tomorrow - I am talking snow and new outfits

 

 

Can confirm this is true. Rockstar slipped it right under our noses.

That doesn't mean snow or anything like that though. It could be a Christmas dildo for all we know.

It also does not confirm that snow WON'T happen.

Wasn't there a thanksgiving dlc - just asking as it looks like it downloaded before the beach bum update..

Actually thinking they'll add snow to Online - uber lolz

People said the same about the ones wanting 747's in single player. We were derided for months.

Because it's silly, that's why. It's now the 23rd of December, don't you think they might have "added" it by now if they actually intended to?

In my part of the world, Christmas starts on the 25th December....

 

edit - yes, it IS silly, but it IS Christmas.

Correct. I've not once said that there won't be snow. We simply have had absolutely no reason to think that there will be. I'd like it, personally. I think it would look great and make a nice change to see the place covered in white instead of red. I just think that it's dumb to see something like an update titled 'Holiday Gift' and be all like, "OMG IT MUST BE SNOW BECAUSE I CAN SEES IT IN THE STREETS ALREADY ITS FLECKS THAT WERE THERE BEFORE BUT I NEVER SAW IT AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE TELL ME ITS ALWAYS BEEN THERE I DONT LISTEN BECAUSE I KNOW IT MUST BE SNOW BECAUSE SANTA PROMISED ME HED GIVE ME SNOW WHEN I SAT ON HIS LAP AND ALL I GOT WAS A WET BOTTOM AND IT WAS STICKY SO THIS MUST BE THE SNOW BECAUSE IT SAYS GIFT AND I WANT A GIFT NOW PLEASE ITS SNOW!!!"

[..GhosT]

And suddenly every white thing in the game becomes snow.

 

Guys, what the hell is wrong with you all?

You know what massive file size would be required to replace any snowable area texture?

[j0hn_d0e]

But see, it's Christmas, it's the season of getting pished, eating too much, watching crap telly and trying to find any excuse to not be in the same room as your relatives.

 

Snow in GTAO ?

 

Who cares, but I'll play it for hours to find out.

25th is Christmas Day, traditionally Christmas starts 12 days before, hence the 12 days of Christmas.

 

Hey, I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but Im also kinda into logic and reason, therefore I don't think it's gonna happen.

 

Ok then, it's Christmas, turn all the cars into sleighs! Make all the guns candy canes! Add missions where you deliver presents to orphans!

 

Silly.

I see where you are coming from. However, I have not really spent much time posting in this thread. I'd like to believe that snow is coming, maybe not the same way everyone else is. I don't believe the white dots on the ground signify anything. I'm just staying hopeful and sticking the the facts. Fact is, we downloaded a "holiday pack" what does it have? Most likely the clothes that were leaked out. Could there be snow? We've seen some videos and modded they may be. We'll have to find out.

See-NOW you're getting it....

[helresa]

I wonder if this is going to start on Christmas Eve, as Tuesday is the normal patch release day, and Christmas Eve is on Tuesday...

[rpearsonx]

One of the videos shows snow marks on the grass and it seems like a lot of effort to go to if they wanted to troll us

Tire marks on the snow in the grass is what I meant

Yep - my thoughts exactly. It's just tiresome seeing the forum overrun by unfounded assumptions that people will literally argue about and call you dumb for not agreeing with.

 

I look forward to seeing what this is. I'd like it to be something awesome, but the troll in me looks at the people on this forum and thinks, "Please let it be a happy christmas message on our TV or something else inane."

From the other thread

And They Add New Codes For Xmas :

{"TURN_SNOW_ON_OFF":[{"value":true,"start":1387929600,"end":1388034000}],"TOGGLE_XMAS_CONTENT":[{"value":true,"start":1387882800,"end":1388966340}]

Which Means It Will Start in :

http://prod.cloud.ro...0/tunables.json

 

1.5 days only.

 

On the flip side - it cant be snowing just now...

[Varios Los Aztecas]

 

Took this photo months ago, but if you look closely to the right of his head, you can clearly see a floaty white object.....

 

THIS IS DEFINITIVE PROVE THAT ROCKSTAR WILL ADD SNOW THIS CHRISTMAS

[Crafty-]

From reddit. You decide if its legit or not..

 

Located in the latest tunables.json is a Unix timestamp with the start and end date of the "XMAS" DLC.

{"TURN_SNOW_ON_OFF":[{"value":true,"start":1387929600,"end":1388034000}] Snow starts on December 25, 2013 00:00 GMT and ends on December 26, 2013 05:00 GMT

"TOGGLE_XMAS_CONTENT":[{"value":true,"start":1387882800,"end":1388966340}] Christmas clothing becomes available on December 24, 2013 11:00 GMT and ends January 5, 2014 23:59 GMT

So for some reason they start at different times. The clothes last a bit longer than the snow and I guess they will disappear after then. I'm not too sure about that.

Here's the file from Rockstar's server if you are interested.http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/titles/gta5/ps3/tunables.json

[j0hn_d0e]

I don't doubt it's real - it's clearly not snowing even remotely just now though.

 

A one day snow event though - typical Rockstar, they can't even do the silly things, well, right.

 

How many of us won't be anywhere near their consoles at Xmas....

 

Honestly, I want to be the R* Head of Creative Ideas....he's getting paid hundreds of thousands dollars/pounds, for doing the piss poorest job I've ever seen in the software industry.

So piss poor it earned them $1bn in three days, approx. 4 times their costs.

 

Yeah he's doing it all wrong...

Note I said Head of Creative Ideas - not, Head of Rockstar.

 

There is a difference.

Yeah, because GTAV got terrible reviews and hardly sold a unit...oh wait....the opposite is true, it's one of the most critically-acclaimed, biggest, fastest selling games ever.

[Furry_Monkey]

Well since the url of tunables.json is a rockstar server then that object data is definitely legit.

Oh my god.

 

Have you all lost your sense of humour ?

 

Actually, scratch that - did you ever have one ?

[Guest]

Basically they did all that job just for... one day?

[spidey1234]

where do you see the holiday gift thing on ps3?

[Beach Bum Bandit]

So they don't let you keep the clothes? Shoulda known it would be sh*t.
