The new classic Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Correct me if im wrong but didnt rockstar say they were gonna expand the map in gta online? The same with hiest. Supposedly they were gonna be day 1 but thy waited till next gen. This was probably planned because the ps3 and 360 werent powerful enough to handle xtra map size and hiest.

Alec Skorpio Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Rockstar never promised map expansion. They said it was a possibility that they were very interested in, but never made promises. GTA Online heists were always promised as coming "soon" after release (outside of the trailer which made them seem like they'd be in day one, but I believe they still said they wouldn't be before GTA Online release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.kiwi_4 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 They said they were considering adding the likes of Liberty City/Vice City for the player to travel to, from the airport I suppose. All I can assume is that they're still working on Single Player DLC and finishing up on heists before they start adding new places. With the heists, we know that they're getting patched into the game in the first update after the release of NG copies, but as for the new maps, that is indefinite. I would love new places to go in V, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschuTheDamaja Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 This and because they are smart and know how to push a rerelease. This is not meant as bad as it sounds,.. they could have done it for the old gen. But it would have been very limited and the development would also been way too expencive, I think. From development point of view they made very good decisions with that. Also all the bugfixes and improvements that were made over time are now in the game from the beginning. So this is GTAV 2.0 beemertramp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick930930 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) heists were delayed so they could focus on doing the next-gen rerelease of the game. Heists will come after the initial release of the PS4/XboxOne versions of the game. they only briefly said they'd love to try and expand GTAOnline to feature the likes of Liberty City, but it was never a promise. single player DLC was confirmed by CVG to come eventually, featuring extra missions and story the likes of "Ballad of Gay Tony" in terms of scope.

pilot410 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Once next gen is out with heist and at least one single player dlc then just maybe they would work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodDamnMaster Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Probably because they've been been preoccupied with development for current gen platforms and single player dlc.

killahmatic Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I had no doubt from day one that heists weren't going to come before the new version. It was likely their plan, at least to an extent, despite what they say about it. "soon" is not false, considering the world is 4 billion years old, 1 year is pretty soon.

Mr.Nedich Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I figured long ago R* was going to hold out heists until conveniently after current gen releases. Why? Sales. What's the worth in reselling a game if you played through it all? Well, hold off the biggest draw of the game's content and it'll still pull in more sales, versus had they released it in...say...spring, then people would have played it and sales would be lower due to the opinion that they'd played all the content, why bother paying again for the same game?

ZeeKid2k10 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) The reason Why hesits is delayed because *R focus one game at time they was working PS4/X1/PC verison the past year. Rockstar likes to focus on one game at a time. That means if you're working on a project that's not coming out soon, it is left to meander aimlessly for 2 to 3 years. When whatever other focus game is released, attention will finally be brought to your project.. The reason why the games are constantly delayed is because of the tools. Rage is a very artist unfriendly engine.The tools department is stuck in their ways, unwilling to admit that their pipeline is inefficient and contributing to poor productivity. Band-aids are issued to patch up issues in the short term, without any long-term plan on how to fix things. No artist should ever have to see a maxscript error pop-up. Ever.

Saintdestroyer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 My concern is DLC, are we even gonna get any? It has been almost over a year and yes we get a port with a few improvements and additions, but no new story content. Which is a shame, I hope we do see some soon.

iSupremacy Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Keep in mind Rockstar have NEVER expanded the map in ANY GTA game so it's not like it's common in their games.

I guess you missed it, but..... Newsflash! R* said that heists will be released for all consoles. PS3, XB360, PS4 & XBOne. So nobody has to pay extra just to play heists online. Have a good day.

That has nothing to do with this thread topic, let alone my post. Yes, it does. My point is that R* clearly show in V that they are ready to renew both the franchise and their ideas. That's why they introduced the three characters system, GTA Online and the first person view who is three real breakthroughs in the franchise. This shows also that R* can expand the map within the current game if they feel that can raise the replayability within the game (more money) because they are not obliged to stick to the old and already proven stuff within the franchise. Even they need to continue the development of the Grand Theft Auto to the future generations (customers) and can't stick with the gamers who started played their games in the 90's, who are accustomed to play GTA in one way. The three characters system also open up a huge potential with multiple islands/bigger maps, so the player don't need to waste so much time to get from point A (one island) and point B (another island) on a huge map.
