Future map additions

[ivarblaauw]

To the guy above me;

Thank you for your answer; because now I can clear some things up.

 

First of all; it isn't only the "Dutch guy", I simply made a post with all found (legit) information combined. To do this I went over 300+ posts to find the infornation you see right now. Then I went ahead to verify the information. This could be done by looking if the sources are official or go see the found evidence in the game itself.

 

Secondly; I am crazy? You are the one who went full "crazy" on me. And who the f*ck is talking about crazy dlc and such? I surely never did. This is the "future map additions" thread, what do you expect? Hundreds of comments saying no? Well go look at the found information and get real yourself. And even then, if I and quite a lot of others are wrong for some reason, what do you gain from it? Cursing and bashing are not that friendly and no one will listen to that anyway.

 

Well; please stay on topic everyone and lets see if we can find more. I know it is pretty quiet right now from Rockstar and us, but hey, maybe we can find some more. I heard in the GTA V Beta hunt that someone found code about a second island. I don't know the slightest about this, so maybe someone can look into it? (I don't think this is about Northern SA tho)

 

Cheers.

You know what they could have done with the map? They could have add a Santa Barbara like city and Some type of San Luis Obispo county going on (With Morro Bay with its giant rock and a small village like Cambria). If they add San Fierro maybe 2 or 3 counties could have connect because you could not just gone from Los Santos to San Fierro instantly. For whatever reason I felt like the Bixby Bridge and Pacific Coast Highway would be perfect for the northern San Andreas expansion, but the problem is that the Bixby Bridge is already added . I still think northern San Andreas for whatever reason never exist and if it did it was really cut early(I mean really early). By the way I guess it's fair to say that Blaine County was a combination of Imperial County, Riverside County, Ventura County (Paleto Bay), and possibly Kern and San Bernardino. Well I know I am not a big help but still hope map expansions could happen in GTA V. Also it would be funny if Rockstar Games just retexured Midnight Club 3's San Diego for Online. One more thing I wonder is if Rockstar had any plans at the time of development to put in Santa Catalina Island with Avalon.

 

Sorry if I gave barley or no info

I always thought it would be better to drive or fly or go on a boat to get to liberty city. I can see something like this being added but I think you would have to pay for it to be added.

[CrazyRay]

Yes, it does mean something. A postcard from ingame artwork, while not the most accurate info, can tell a lot. Sometimes the small things say a lot about things. For lack of a better term.

Nope, it's just a picture, it's just an object for scenery...you can wishful think all you want, but it's not going to happen

[ivarblaauw]

 

Sorry for what? for replying? don't be :-) we are glad you reply.

You gave a lot of names of counties Rockstar used to create Blaine County, Paleto County and Los Santos County. I am glad you participate in this thread. Unlike others, you actually know what you are talking about.

 

Map expansions could be done easily, it is just the question If and when. Most likely When, because The Benz told interviewers that they want to include everything they have EVER done and EVER will do in GTA Online.

 

This has to be my favourite thread. Thanks guys

Thanks for replying! do you have any information and such? I would love to hear them and what your ideas on this subject are?

We have already concluded way earlier in this thread that we most likely have to pay for expansions. Much like WoW uses their expansions. You don't pay and you can't access the new part of the map (while you see it, so you are probably eating yourself up and buy it eventually). A map would be about the same price of TLaD or TBoGT (about $30/$40).

Well, how do you know it is not going to happen? To be honest, why would they include another island if it shouldn't be there? it doesn't make sense in any way, especially because the rest of the coast is all geographically the same as in the game.

[andreuguerra]

Bro u look USA Breaking News. Such info much true wowwww

 

 

 

All you have is opinions and dreams, there is a possibility sure but you take it too far and i remember reading that u love speculation so. Try to understand my point of view. Someone allready PM'd saying i was a 12 yo kid thats fine i understand. But people a lot of times don't say what they want. I do every time.

[Maxxeine]

If you would have bothered to notice, instead of just trying to be a smartass, I was answering a question that another poster made concerning that postcard.... in fact, I even said that I assume it's just an Easter egg (which means it doesn't mean anything in particular).... but don't worry, reading comprehension is a hard thing to grasp for a lot of people.You'll get it eventually.

 

by the way, why are the quote tags not woking corectly tonight?

It was an issue with the website after updating a plug in (to my understanding) the issue was explained and fixed here: http://gtaforums.com/topic/724026-resolved-mobile-desktop-problems-please-report-issues/

- The place where the bridge is most likely to be featured, has no collectibles or items (like ufo's, shipwrecks etc.) just a pale rock which can easily be used as a beam.

 

That's what I was talking about, either way I still want to see whatever you were talking about. Where are they exactly? I looked around Mount Gordo last night and didn't really find anything except for a bunch of rocks shaped like a foot.

 

ah that place.

No just out of the coast (the B shaped coastline of mount Gordo) about 10 meters under the sea level, there is a big rock plateau (flat) which has no other features of just being there.

The rock has (almost) no plants and could really, really, really easy feature a beam for a bridge.

 

Not sure if this will help, but I managed to take a screenshot of it.

What is it with all the Nay-sayers, that they just can not say it in an appropriate way... Every dude that has come in this forum and wants to say they don't believe us go: OMG YOU ARE SO STUPID FOR BELIEVING THIS YOU'RE A 12 YEAR OLD!

 

Seriously people, we know we can never be right here, because none of us work at R*. There are definetely some things in the game that hint another part of San Andreas and we're going on every clue we can find. Probably everyone here knows it's wishful thinking, but the fact remains that R* is going to make map-expansions, it's basic marketing and they can't go without.

 

So please just give your opinion and stop the f*ckin' ranting on this thread, if one thing, it makes YOU look like a twelve-year old.

You my friend have summed everything up that has to do with the people who say we're wasting your time.

 

However, please stay on topic

[ana lill]

Very interesting ideas in This thread. I sure hope we get new areas to explore, whether its SF, LV, LC, NY or something more unexpected.

 

I am leaning towards north yankton as the first. Its already in the game and it would bring something very different to what we have now which would provide some much needed variety to the game. With heists we hopefully will get new exciting gameplay and, with NY, some Nice change of scenery. A NY DLC/update also ties in with the Notion that GTA V is R* playground for experimenting with vast Widerness areas rather than an 80% urbanized map.

 

If we are really lucky we might get a map DLC close to the relaunch of the newest gen consoles. I think R might have a trick up their sleeve so all current players will feel that the new version is too good to pass up.

 

Just my 2cents

Well ok let me say this San Fierro could just be called San Fierro County. I say that because San Fran is both a County and a City.

 

Anyways what I think is more reasonable for a map expansion is Paleto County (which is Ventura County) but it's not very large, it's more small or medium sized expansion.

 

Or

 

A bigger Los Santos with more major cities.

 

Off Topic: I can't believe that some news articles are now talking about GTA VI which is going to be a long time, I just have that feeling it could not just be 1 city since by 2017 or 2018 "Current Gen" consoles are stronger. Unless... R* wants to put more features and better graphics that act like 2017 or 2018 "Current Gen."

 

Enjoy your day I might be sleeping

I doubt there will be a Northern San Andreas add on. However, if there is, I doubt there will be any bridges to get there. But instead a ferry. It seems more logical. It won't mess up the map and players can fly and use their own boats to get there too.

I think they'll add it eventually, but I have to agree with you about the bridges. It will most likely be a paid add-on so adding a a bridge to the map would make no sense if people who didn't buy an add-on will see it unless its a separate server or will act like a COD add-on does, it disables your DLC if a friend doesn't have it. But driving there would be awesome

I really hope that if it is in a DLC

I really hope that it is in a free DLC as it should've been in the game from the start. Only single player stuff should be paid as online has kesh kerds.

They should bring out a city they haven't covered before.

Maybe a smaller but well known US city.

So lets eliminate a few

Las Vegas

San Francisco

New York

Miami

LA

Washington DC is begging for GTA Based content! Realistically if there is gonna be DLC islands/cities they'll be American, (cos 'Murica!!!)

So lets look at what could be used

Washington DC

Chicago

San Diego (close to LA/LS)

Dallas

Not really the most appealing places but they could go down the Scarface: The World Is Yours PS2 Game path and bring out a group of islands, maybe the Bahamas or the Hawaiian Islands and bring in drug smuggling, business's (illegitimate of course) offer plane and boat travel between all DLC places (In LSIA one set of doors opens into the airport on the 2nd floor, could be a hint that the airport comes into use)

Like in Scarface, too, you could take your speedboat out to a certain point in the water which would queue a loading screen and then you come back from the loading screen in the boat approaching the islands in question. After a few boat trips the Coast Guard could get suspicious and start pulling you in to search the boat for the drugs you can smuggle, or you can speed away resulting in a 4 star wanted level. If you get caught you can be getting transported in the coast guard boat either to the islands or LS and you can choose to pay $20,000 to have people sent to rescue you.

What about areas in Orange County have any thought of that? It's the closest county near Los Angeles (LS) rather than San Diego County

New map

EDIT: Just looked this up on Google. Great Britain and the UK in GTAO? Yes please!

Is that a real state? It looks new england-ish. If so, I would love to see new england in GTAO.

 

Its an island in the middle of the irish sea

Well... I hoped I helped to let it stay alive and kicking ;-).

 

Ot: that island is awesome ^^ is it UK or Ireland? (Made me think of Sons of Anarchy, which is an awesome series btw)

 

Grand Theft Auto is mainly all about cars, roads, chases and crime. This leads me to believe that upcoming map expansions (if geographically right) will be attached with bridges or even land locked. Ferries wouldn't work when you have a wanted level. So you would be bound to one island while you see the other a hundred meters away. No... Rockstar will make the islands in the same state connected with bridges. They know San Andreas was such a big hit because you could drive from one city to the other while causing havoc all the time.

[Shimo815]

There's a portuguese island in the Azores archipelago, and it is very similar to GTA 5 map.

I've been watching Sons of Anarchy lately. That show could be used as a basis to develop a whole Northern San Andreas storyline and atmosphere. They have some vivid gangs and many of them parallel to GTA gangs since both are based on real-world figures.

 

• SAMCRO parallels to the Angels of Death mostly likely. Both seem to be based on the Hell's Angels. We already have some background on that R* could build off of from Liberty City Lost and the Damned: http://gta.wikia.com/Angels_of_Death
• 1-niners = Ballas, control of Oakland (didn't feature in GTA:SA and I think that was a huge omission, since Oakland is a crime-ridden center of NorCal, and should be in NSA. Bay City would be a good name for Oakland).
• The Mayans would be represented by the Aztecas
• For the Nords, we might have to reach into Manhunt lore for the Skinz
• The IRA are already in GTA, as Derrick McReary's backstory includes the IRA: http://gta.wikia.com/Derrick_McReary
• The Triads are represented in both as well

Regions of control would map out that the Triads run much of San Fierro's underworld, the Ballas control much of Oakland, the Aztecas control the East Bay south of Oakland and then you have the Angels and Skinz operate out of strongholds in the East Bay.

 

The McReary family becomes a potential connection between Liberty City, Los Santos and San Fierro/North San Andreas if you incorporate these gangs.
