Future map additions

[Trentallica]

There's a lot of speculation going on here, I like it.

[StarFireFly]

posting a new video in 1 hour , nothing new but something.

[Trevor Philips Inc]

Now I would absolutely love years of continual expansions and new places, but it would all feel a bit redundant if they don't give us new activities and also interiors to go along with it

 

As things stand we'd end up getting a different ghost town with a load of team DMs etc cluttered around the map that nobody uses.

go to 5:53, this time the guy asks what the truck stop outside LV is called.

 

I found this in the cool things you didn't know about thread and the user that posted that video said

 

My favorite is when this trucker says - "Ever been to Vice City? I heard some guys kidnapped a woman and fed her to the alligators in the swamp on the outskirts of town"

 

It's not in the vid though. Unless I missed it.

Woah, the first vid is pretty interesting, nice find. The 2 pictures on the right with a different view kinda look like RDR from the trees, and just landscape but the other pics don't really.

 

Though the second sign in the second vid is probably just supposed to represent mount chiliad.

I don't think LC is gettimg a map expansion. They talk about a big storm in LC a lot in the story and the radio. It must be a reference to Hurricane Sandy lol.

[AndyC-M]

unless you know what rockstars plans are, for those of us that dont, its a tough one to figure out what theyll do with map

 

gta online is clearly gta 5 map, theres no way they can expand the map online and not in SP, so this must mean gta will have a new map, however, with the advancement of the consols, does this mean the gta 6 map will fit with the gta 5 map online, therefore making one large map, and online remaining as online?

[OfficialTwiggz]

I believe the only map expansion we will get with V is North Yankton and that's a big if.

 

After that, we transfer over to GTA VI. Once transferred over, we have the option to visit LS but we must have the game still. Your character progress will not upgrade once transferred, though. Like playing back on the PS3 and 360.

 

Idk. I like the ideas though.

[StarFireFly]

before gta 6 we're getting 2 new dlc. like gta 4; it had the gay dlc and the run down biker dlc.

so for gta 5 main game LS, then LV and SF maps but not till late this year or next year.

[Richard Power Colt]

This whole thing confuses me. They seem to be emphasizing how GTA Online is this big unifying experience that will evolve, but if they plan on making it a cross-game thing, then it would require them to use the same engine in the next GTA. Not sure if a lot of people would buy that for 60 dollars if it was largely the same. Maybe they'll just release expansions for GTA V?

and GTA 6 should have a female lead, and for the guys who don't wont that you'll have online anyway,. so its a win win for both.

Some of the guys above haven't read the comments.

I agree Edited January 24, 2015 by Yura'ndGames

[Deffpony]

I would be very surprised if LC didn't get included. It would probably take just as much time to update LC as it took to upgrade LS for next gen.

Hey guys and girls

 

 

I have sad news about the video of the snow part a few posts above.

It is a screenshot from Red Dead Redemption. (Aurora Basin)

sorry :-(

[fergman311]

An Oahu island to the west on the map would be an interesting addition...

So much yes for that pic.

I thought it looked a lot like something from RDR, but I couldn't quite recall the location.

[southernsontn]

no way they can expand the map online and not in SP,

 

And why couldn't they? from everything I've ever read, R* treats GTA:O as a separate game from GTA V. It isn't unreasonable to think that they would add a map to online and not to V..

 

This whole thing confuses me. They seem to be emphasizing how GTA Online is this big unifying experience that will evolve, but if they plan on making it a cross-game thing, then it would require them to use the same engine in the next GTA. Not sure if a lot of people would buy that for 60 dollars if it was largely the same. Maybe they'll just release expansions for GTA V?

 

Just because it uses the same game engine doesn't mean the game will "be largely the same". The engine controls rendering, physics, and all of the behind the scenes stuff. It has nothing to do with the progress or "feel" or the game....

 

GTA IV, midnight club: LA, and several other games utilize the RAGE engine, each "feels" quite different.

This, except VC shouldn't be the next city. The Miami of today isn't even remotely as interesting as LA, NYC, Las Vegas, San Fransisco and many other US cities. Only if we go back in time again would VC be an interesting location.

Yes I know and I should have explained myself better in the last post. If GTA VI was going to be different in terms of gameplay and graphics to V in a similar way GTA V was to IV, then the GTA Online present in GTA V would be outdated. Unless the GTA Online present in GTA VI would be the exact same as before, but that would make the singleplayer in the new GTA a separate updated experience and its advances wouldn't be available Online. And making a new GTA Online for GTA VI wouldn't make a lot of sense with the assumption that GTA Online is supposed to be a cross-game type of thing that evolves on its own. They're not gonna have two GTA Onlines and update them separately nor do I think that they would make a new one and abandon the old(or at least that's not what I interpretated from the interviews and stuff).

 

So I wish R* would give some clarification for their plans though it might be too early for even them to say for sure. Btw I think GTA Online would work as a free-to-play game separate from a GTA singleplayer game. Maybe that's what they're going for.

I just want to see any city that hasn't yet been created on the RAGE engine. That's why I'd like them to do either Vice City, San Fierro or Las Venturas. A lot of people seem to think that they're adding LC next, but to me that would just feel lazy and cheap on R*'s part and actually not very interesting, because IV was just there. I think the most sensical addition is North Yankton, because they already have some of it built for the game and it seems like the right-sized area for a shorter singleplayer DLC story.

 

Edit: Sorry for double-post.

I believe we will have a map of expansion, GTA Online is very great, will last much this game, the 8000 level already says it all, but I believe that next year, or at the end of this year we will have a map of expansion, perhaps SP DLC

What I believe will eventually happen is that GTA:O will ultimately evolve in a visible effort to separate itself from GTA V, which is why I believe so strongly that we'll eventually see new cities added in GTA:O and not in V, although I personally believe that such additions would be current gen only, so as to influence more players to make the switch.

 

As for gameplay, some things could be seen as "city exclusive", so as to ensure that each city has its own "flavor", and universal activities could easily be ported over across GTA:O without having to add it to V. As for graphics, that I couldn't tell you.

 

R* has said that GTA:O is a concept that they have been working towards ever since GTA III. They have experimented and tested out features throughout every GTA game since, and have pulled from every GTA title they could to make it something that can be persistent. I would suspect that they already have ideas in place for how to deal with GTA:O when VI hits, and I would say that R* being R*, they'll probably even drop hints in GTA:O as to what to expect when the next game is released.

The piece of land to the right isn't there in-game.

 

Also, the LV reference on the lotto ticket is in all 24/7 stores.

 

And about the missing barrier thing, the reason of them missing is probably to make drains and let water flow off the mountain to prevent it from flooding, because there's those run off natural gutter ditch things right where the missing barriers are. Like, for realism.

 

Or it could just be there so the player can't get trapped.

Oh sh*t, never mind. I thought it was looking at the lighthouse straight on, not from the side. I went there and checked, missed that.
