The September DLC & Editor

[The Gator]

So it's a HalLOWeen update?

[whiteskin]

It's not really what I expected although the editor seems cool I want more things to buy

[ciel]

no loading times? awesome.

now we will have to find something else to complain about in B&M.

[Wesk_]

cool stuff but why on the 15th? destiny taken King is gonna come out on the 15th and i'm gonna be busy playing that, but yeah cool events

[sweller]

What if somebody finds a way to save the werewolf outfit.

[DrBuckles]

Will these be normal sessions or a whole new session.

Normal sessions. They're ramdon events that take place in the world.

[LL Cool L]

Im more excited for this update than any to date!

The newswire makes it sound so seamless, but I'm a bit worried...

 

"Taking full advantage of the latest generation of consoles and PC hardware, there are no menus, lobbies, or load times – just an open Freemode session filled with Friends, Crewmates, rivals, and randoms where spontaneous and chaotic new games and challenges will appear."

 

What does this mean for solo sessions? Custom death-matches?

It sounds like marketing-speak to make the update seem more groundbreaking than it is; in reality, there'll be new activities added, just like the ones added during heists, nothing more...

I've never been much Capture and the other Adversary Modes but always welcome new modes. The freemode stuff is what I'm most excited for, interesting how they're gonna do this.

 

I'm okay without the Rockstar Editor on PS3. I did expect the usual cars, guns and clothes etc, so new modes and new activities in freemode kind of surprised me.

 

My time will be split between this and Super Mario Maker on the Wii U. Hell, my gaming time is always split between GTAO and (insert another game title here)

It sounds perfectly clear to me. Just like you have Lester's purple circle or the smuggler plane/helicopter in regular sessions, these things can and will occur as and when, without leaving the sessions. Basically, there could be 29 people all doing one of these new, awesome sounding activities, and then 1 player taking photos on the beach. That's what I take from it, anyway.

Freemode Events in Grand Theft Auto Online are a new advancement in open world gameplay, giving players access to a range of seamlessly integrated games and challenges in GTA Online’s Freemode. Taking full advantage of the latest generation of consoles and PC hardware, there are no menus, lobbies, or load times – just an open Freemode session filled with Friends, Crewmates, rivals, and randoms where spontaneous and chaotic new games and challenges will appear.

One of these events can kick off at any given moment while in Freemode, and you can customize your session to decide exactly which ones will happen – so you can play as much or as little of this new content as you like. With countless variations on each Freemode Event, there are tons of unique new experiences, each offering new opportunities for reaping GTA$ and RP in GTA Online.

Feeling locked and stocked? Look out for King of the Castle – an every man for himself turf war where you’ll need to ascend and claim the designated ‘castle’ as your territory – and then fend off everyone else as they go all out to dethrone you. Form fragile alliances and work together in modes like Hunt the Beast, where one volunteer is temporarily transformed into a faster, stronger, beastly character who must escape relentless pursuers. Freemode Events also take the shape of insane stunt challenges, such as popping the longest wheelie, catching the most air in a land vehicle, or performing the most near misses in a vehicle without crashing.

Also included with next week's update are two brand new Adversary Modes. First, Hunting Pack: you’re part of a team tasked to deliver a priority vehicle rigged to explode if it drops below a minimum speed, while your opponents race, ram and batter to take it down. Or try Cross the Line, where heavily-armed squads face off across a neutral zone – with the goal of having all team members strategically penetrate their opponents territory to claim victory. The Freemode Events Update also brings the Rockstar Editor to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with new features (also being added for current PC users as well) such as an ambient audio and sound effects library, Snapmatic integration, Director Mode updates and more.

[ibsmokin]

This is an interesting read and glimpse into the future of gtaonline. http://m.ca.ign.com/articles/2015/09/10/how-gta-online-has-changed-rockstar-north

All I want to know is if the beast mode outfit is storeable....

[The Gator]

Would be cool. If you win as the beast you get to keep the outfit. Make it a bit of a challenge to earn it.

What happened to funmw2s low update lol

 

Wishful thinking, but what if there is at least a tutorial mission for Hunt The Beast, that Lamar Davis turns into that 50's Wolfman? That'd be some epic voice acting and howls no doubt!

Errr... I thought this had already been clarified...

 

 

 

You kids, with your netview and loveflix.

[happygrowls]

Oh great, more deathmatches.

[Mangled Crow]

I don't want to be ''that guy'', but I hope there will be a bit more to this update. Like new clothing, vehicles and other stuff.

Never know bro, maybe there will be some new vehicles but they possibly don't want to say it out just yet, maybe Funmw2's source may not be completely wrong, just remember to not overlook details from a few weeks ago, remember after IGG2 was released, the new "LOW update" was mentioned in entry data and kept getting updated over time, this is the next update so maybe, just maybe there will be some new vehicles, there is a reason why this game is called Grand Theft "Auto"

Quoted from R^ yellow box in the comments.

"To @irockjays81 @Eliorgez2312 and others asking about new cars, clothes and other items - were definitely working on more vehicles among other things for you to collect for future updates please make sure to stay tuned here at the Newswire for more info about that soon"

No, you just choose which events you want to participate in via the interaction menu. Stated in both interviews.

 

 

There are no, and will never be any, customizable lobbies.

Not everyone, of course. But I think the general consensus a couple of years down the line will be that this is pretty much the worst "DLC" there was.

 

Unless of course R* comes up with something more stupid in the future
