Can/will constructions be completed with a minor DLC?

[SuperSpartan747]

When I used to play GTA 4, I had always dreamed that the Bohan bridge that was under construction would be completed in the future, but unfortunately it never was. Neither was the construction building in china town.

 

Do you think they can or will complete any of the construction sites in Los Santos in the future? If the answer is yes, can and will they do it with a minor DLC such as the ones we have been getting, or will it happen within a whole expansion?

[HipHopMagician]

Nope.

it would be awesome if they did an update where those constructions will be finished.

on the other hand, a bit of the world will be changing and maybe some people dont like that.

but its an interesting question

[CrysisAverted]

Well it usually takes about a year or two in real life and GTA parodies real life so maybe never?

[AWEMYGOD]

Something that never gets worked on never gets finished.

[abnorm]

My guess is no.

[CrysisAverted]

Screw the construction actually, tear down the entire city and rebuild it into a global theme park

[Zito]

would be cool of rockstar too do so just what can you expect i mean its not like they make videos of miss leading content for the game and then promise other content that was support to be released... since last year so yeah I'm looking forward for the grass coming this fall for GTA5 beta version maybe get grass sh*t on my pants or shoes nahh i think even that is to clever for R* Logic

GTAO takes place 6 months before story mode, so no.

 

I love the idea however. They've put buzzers on properties that didn't have buzzers before, but I think that'll be the extent of their changes.

Gtao is supposed to age tho, so we could end up post gta5 story, like they could tie hiests into it, think about it what if heist come out and they say they take place after the GTA 5 story and then that would also give reason to why Lester is working with you if he is just my idea

my thoughts are that as Online is set before SP, and the buildings were still under construction in SP,,, its very unlikely they will complete them for online (even though the time passed for alot of online players should theoretically mean they are now in front of the SP timeline, theres still references to pre-SP stuff so its all a bit of a mess..)

I remember a little after launch when threads popped up about statues on the beach going from "under construction" to being completed.

That's a good point - I'd never thought of that. We're now way past the timeline of SP. I can finally go an find that fat f*ck Michael in his house and burn him to death

[KamikaziOtter]

As far as all of the minor construction, probably not... However the "Mile High Club" (AKA the Ritz Carlton tower in RL LA) which was under construction during this games development, is now completed in real life.

 

I think given this game's magnetism towards the high life, I could most definitely see it being completed in future installments of the game!

 

 

 

 

[WesternMotorcycleCo.]

Most likely not. Changing the map will have an effect on SP (and also MP) missions.

[gizmonomono]

Construction sites are a part of reality, it's not there to hype some dlc.

[BucketOfSloths]

Please don't give the youtubers anything more to make "Leaked DLC Info" videos about....

[ivarblaauw]

They could if they wanted too, but I strongly doubt it, especially because there are missions involved in most of these cases.

On next gen, adding a new island with a bridge, could be possible. But they should really watch out to touch NO missions and other important stuff. It would break the missions, causing bugs and glitches.

Youd think so but in truth its still the same day in los santos that it was when online first started. Its like a massive groundhog day where instead of moving forwards your living the same day over and over.

 

It would be like today you could kill thousands of merry weather employees. Tomorrow noone knows you did it. It never happened.

 

As for map changes they'd have to be compulsery patches. Not expansions or dlc.

 

What happens if you have the expansion and your friend doesn't let say you drive across that newly built bridge. What happens on his end cos that bridge ain't there he doesn't have the expansion...

 

Thus it have to be a compulsery patch.

We have had that discussion quite a lot in the Future Map Addition thread.

The answer(s) is (are) pretty simple. For the example I will use a possible Northern San Andreas Expansion.

EXAMPLE:

A large bridge is used to go to Northern San Andreas and is accessible from the highway near Up n Atom in the north.

Well, anyone can access the bridge, but about half way on the bridge, the ones who bought it can just continue driving.

There are a few options here Rockstar can make in the game, people who access the new island who didn't have the expansion will get:

- immediate 5 stars, which can only be lost on the land(s) they have access too.

- invisible wall (I personally don't like this, but well, you should pay for the expansion right? )

- you lose control of your vehicle if YOU, or one of your passengers who don't have the expansion tries to access the new island. The vehicle will make a U turn and starts driving back the way it came, you then can control the vehicle again. Same goes for walking or aircrafts and boats. You simply can't access the other island. (I like this one :-) )

- Your vehicle get's damaged the longer you drive/fly/sail to the other island. if you go back, your vehicle will only be damaged, otherwise you will explode. If you step out of your vehicle you will die, just like you do now when you are at the "end of the world".

 

This of course will only be for islands/new places which are in the same server.

 

And don't come talking about it will not happen. IDC, this is only about the options IF Rockstar will release it.
