GTA V/Online South America Map DLC idea

[ivarblaauw]

Hello my fellow GTA players,

Mentioned in a topic which was about gore in GTA Online, which you can find here, I now want to bring this to your attention.
I have an idea for a map DLC which will bring back, partially, the vibe from GTA Vice City and where drug trafficking is the center.

Please take the time to read this through. I will make changes accordingly to feedback from you.

(The idea is partially based on Max Payne 3's 3d models gameplay and enviroment and GTA Vice City story and vehicles)
GTA Online is a lot about drugs, even so much that I am surprised that you can't deal in on the streets. Now there will be a whole dlc, based around the concept of drugs and organised crime.
You, the protagonist, are contacted by Martin Madrazo, or another contact, to help in a international drug deal. You have to go to an cluster of islands, somewhere in South America.

Your ticket is paid for (only once) and you can access the new map by going to Los Santos International Airport. You can travel between the international airports for the ticket price of $250.
This said, the protagonist arrives on an international airport.
You are now free to do missions from new contacts, featuring drug trafficking in the Favela's, escorting important "business" figures and heists.

What will the map feature?:

The main island will (partially) feature a south american city with an international airport and a port, which is loosely based on São Paulo. This island will feature 3 city parts and 1 nature part:
- High class (the international airport, hotels and banks)

- Medium class (the port and flats)

- Low class (the Favela's)

- Nature (forests)

The second island (north west of the main island):
- 1 town with a small airstrip

 

- a big forest area
- paramilitary militia/cult

- a wooden bridge to the main island

The third island (south east/east of the main island):
- 1 town connected to the sea, featuring a sea plane

- a forest area
- farmland

- a mansion, maybe of a druglord

- a wooden bridge to the main island

What about new features and stuff like that?

The DLC will feature a lot of new options, such as, but not limited to:

New options (which will be free for people who don't have the dlc)
- Prone/crouch option. increased aim, but movement is a lot slower.

- Dual wield, seriously why isn't this in the game in the first place.

- only carry x amount of weapons (visible) as option in gametypes. the weapons/load out can be pre made by the player in a menu. The weapons you carry will be visible on your back/holster.

- favorite weapons option in Freeroam/gametypes, This chooses which weapons will show on your back/holsters, of course there is a max to this.

Armor and clothing:
- Armor system like MP3, which was revolutionary. along with a lot of new armor options, like helmets, elbow and knee pads, etc. (free for people who don't have the dlc)

- South American style clothing.
- paramilitary outfits

Vehicles:
- SUV's with mounted turret option.
- The highly anticipated Seaplane, which you can also buy and use at Pegasus.
- A Russian Tank, from the cold war...

New gametypes, which will also be playable in Los Santos and Blaine County
- Gangwar: you and a few other players have a death match versus npc's.
- Drugwar: you and a few other players need to capture the drugs from npc's or defend it from them (like survival).
- Gametypes with different gangs. The same team will have partially the same clothing style.

- Outfitter; here you can change your clothing style for different gangs (gametypes option) and your load out for certain gametypes.

Minigames:
- Betting on cock fighting

- Selling drugs on the street

New Weapons:
- Anti Tank, also known as the LAW
- RPD style LMG
- wooden AK options
- FAL Style AR.
- M4a1 style carbine rifle
- M16 style AR
- Chainsaw, the world of drugs simply can't exist without it.
- more? :-) let me know

New Missions:

The game will ofcourse feature new missions, for Online as well as SP.
SP I won't dare to touch, and I will let the developers make that decision.
Online, however, will feature new contacts.
- A corrupt high ranking cop, which makes money from selling drugs in the Favela's and maybe even darker crimes (ie: Organ harvesting, human trafficking) (this could be a possible Antagonist in SP)
- A Drugs lord, who lives like it is still the nineteen eighties.
- A Gang leader from the Favela's, pissed that his gang has lost a lot of ground, now he wants revenge and he needs weapons delivered...

- Merryweather is involved with Drugtrafficking... Why don't take it to the source? Expect missions with high speed chases, explosions and stealth.

In my eyes this would be an awesome GTA setting. You could do drug trafficking, use seaplanes, a different enviroment, Imagine the options!

If any of you please could suggest more features, I would gladly hear them and write them down too.
This idea is far from finished and will need to be polished a lot before it can be mailed to R*.

Why do I think this is possible for a dlc? Well all the models which need to be used are already in the RAGE engine. Some of the weapons, vehicles and planes/helicopters even use the same models/textures. Also a lot of utilities are used in both games. A new city is a lot to ask, but it can be done a whole lot easier because the engine already has all the models in it.
My guess is that R* already has something like this planned somewhere in the distant future...


TL;DR: A South American map DLC, featuring new weapons, armor system and a new map + dangerous city to explore. Using 3d models and game mechanics from Max Payne 3. Also new gametypes.

If it takes place in a Spanish speaking country, then yes.

Spanish or portugese yes; at least thats what my thoughts were

I honestly think this is a good idea, but I don't R* is big on going into a foreign country. I do agree, though; the place is beautiful. But it won't be DLC, A new map would be the next GTA. Maybe this belongs in GTA Series Chat

[tymaster50]

No.

[maybeanotherone]

you were speaking of this in another thread

 

i look at your idea and think i've played that game..

 

i did, it was called Scarface The Game

Not really excited about this....sorry.

Enjoyable read as always ivarblaauw. Not much else to add at this point, but possibly later.

[AceThaCreator]

As long as i get to see some pixel brazilian T&As then count me in lol. For real though, ive always wanting a new setting for gta like Tokyo, Jamaica, or a Southern USA GTA based off of the carolinas, georgia, and new orleans, louisiana. Liberty city & Los Santos have been over done this point. I actually would like to have GTA IV set in Las Venturas again if i could choose and they did return to VC it would just the same theme as this game and would look hella similar.

They have done it before: London, England.

 

Maybe it does; but I put it in the GTA Online series chat because R* focuses on that. :-) I also think that R* will let GTA Online live forever on.

New maps with DLC and a new GTA game.

 

No.

Sorry you don't like it but why don't you like it? Extra is always better right?

Never played it? I think thats a game from the early 2000s right?

don't worry it's just an extra, not that you MUSTgo there. Can you explain why you don't like it? I like feedback and maybe a few changes can change your mind.

 

Enjoyable read as always ivarblaauw. Not much else to add at this point, but possibly later.

Thank you. Possibly Look forward to a possible post

Hahaha, I agree that Southern coast parts of the USA have been a little overdone. That's why a lot of people liked North Yankton so much. It was something all different.

 

I think you meant GTA VI? Yeah I hope Las Venturas or San Fierro. Or maybe a combi. Could also come as DLC. We will only know when they release it ^^.

 

VC would indeed almost feel exactly the same as V. When I watch television shows, I mostly can't see the difference between Florida and California.

But that can also be because I have never been to both places in Real Life.

 

 

PS: Thank you all for posting

Please, we don't want a GTA game where the only vehicles are stolen Mercedes trucks, Citroens, and Volkswagen Beetles.

 

 

I agree on North Yankton, because I can vouch that it looks like that here every winter and it was a fascinating sight.

 

I would like to see a HD Vice City for sure. But it has to be America, you cannot butt tradition. Almost every GTA game ever since the PC version in 1998 has been set in New York, California/Nevada, or Florida.

[luisniko]

I just can't imagine a Vice City without the 80's feeling. It would be a boring modernized beach town.

[AgentExeider]

@OP,

 

don't worry if people don't like it, playing many online games, the community is very sensitive to change and often have to be dragged into it, so don't take it personally.

[maybeanotherone]

if you didn't play Scarface yet, i don't recomend you do...

you'll see some stuff better implemented than gta5 and you'll get madder at R*

 

-better mechanic/driver

-stealing/buying/selling drugs

-laudering money

-limited weapon carry

-all weapons in car trunk

 

you'll also see where R* got the idea for trevor's invincible rage

 

-plus tons of stuff to buy

-house customization

 

in my book it's a better game than any Saints Row for example.

 

but like i said, don't play it, you might like it.

Yeah, but why don't do a DLC somewhere else? Main focus on USA, but with some trips to another country (for drug deals etc.)

Possible is would create the option for bigger/longer missions.

 

The options are limitless.

Yeah that's why I don't want Vice City as the next game... I would be the same game xD

I don't I just want to share my thoughts, and I think that the more options in games, the better.

 

Multiple maps: yeah why not? It's not that I am complaining? Why would you bash something which is OPTIONAL and increases the main game A LOT.

but like i said, don't play it, you might like it.

hehehe, GTA Online 2.0 as you say?

 

I love the game, I can't be mad at the developers. Of course GTA Online can be improved. But that is obvious. The game is just in Beta stage.

 

Saint's Row had awesome customization options for apartments and clothing (well 1 and 2... 3 and 4 f*cked it up)

 

R* has to learn that to steal something awesome and improve it, is better than create something bad from nothing... xD

Steal ideas from Just Cause, from Saints Row, from Sleeping Dogs, from Max Payne 3, from Mafia 2 and as you say Scarface, hell even put some freerunning from AC/WD in the game.

If it's for the better, why not?

I hope some of this is way improved on next gen/current gen.

 

OT:

Give some ideas how I can change this more to your liking? please give suggestions.

[iddqdvie]

since the huge step back to one-city-maps with gtaIV i came to the conlcusion that rockstar is well aware of its ONE BIG POWER, the map descision!

 

gtaV could have had 3 cities, but they didnt do that. why? because what would be next? 4 cities? they could have made a second small city, a border, tichuana or something like that, but they didnt. they just do as little as they need regarding the map.

 

next GTA wil probably be a vice city with sourroundings, maybe with a big island as a plus. they could go for 2 big cities, but why take 2 steps at once?

 

 

better would be: after the port to ps4/xb1 they concentrate on gta:online, adding one map after another to a big online universe, everything reachable via airports. those will not be for free, you can buy hard copies like, vice city: online add-on, or liberty city add-on. when u travel there you change session, updates will still be free so everybody will have the same game, i would pay alot just to be able to roam around in other cities with gta:online, they could add a map every half year or so.

[Coin]

I think that, in any shape or form that this were to take, Merryweather should have a presence given how things have played out for them both in Online and V's story. Already trying to diversify and get into the drug trade, so why not at the source?

 

Also cock fighting in the Favelas.

[Maxxi]

Unlike most, you thought out your idea quite well. But still, your idea is bad. But, your post is good, so don't feel bad.

This is actually what I think they will do, Not gta VI, but GTA V: Las Venturas etc. even maybe for the full price of a new game. Could easily be done.

I think that on Next Gen/Current Gen we will eventually see a full San Andreas (connected with bridges)

 

Not each half year. I think each year to two years is more likely. Also because they have to create a story for single player each time.

 

as Rockstar told us: GTA Online is here to stay with map expansions etc.

yeah, that would be awesome! I will put your ideas in the initial post

hahaha, Well I take it as a compliment then

[Gallioni]

This is a good idea, I'd actually like to see Rio (de janeiro) beeing added as a map in specific.

OP, I agree. In general, GTA O and SP should get map updates and to give use to airports.

 

I think your idea might be a soon reality. R* once said they will add other cities such as LC and VC in near future.

[Biff73]

If it took place in malaysia or indonesia,killing screamin malay npcs,epic

[iddqdvie]

those maps would come without singleplayer, i dont want to wait so long for a 20 hour story, i want the city

Haha no they f*cking didn't say any such thing. I love how twisted things get around here, it's like a game of Chinese Whispers.

 

In an interview a while back they said that was "the dream" since the inception of GTA multiplayer many moons ago. They have NEVER said it's coming to this iteration of GTAO, and anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together and a rudimentary understanding of how this generation of hardware works knows that what you're suggesting is techically impossible.

 

So please, stop lying to people. This is NOT a feature coming in the near future, nor has it ever been suggested by R* that it is.

 

OT: No thanks OP, South America has already proven to be boring in Just Cause 2 and Max Payne 3.

Umm yes...they did. If someone could back me up here with a link to that?

 

Someone asked R* the plans for the future of GTA and Online and they said they will think of adding new cities or to revisit old ones in the near future. Most of that are near exact word for word quotes...i didnt misquote or twist anything...

[TreFacTor]

Sounds like a job for Max Payne...he ejoys places where you can't drink water for various reasons....I'll stick with plumbing...running water and unmutilated pussy thank you very much.

Forgot to mention that they will think of adding it if they think the consoles can handle it.
