Future DLC Discussion Thread

If they add any new parts to the map, I hope they add them in a way that you can just fly over to them seamlessly.Like, put LC/the map expansion out in the ocean of the current map - it'd give more purpose to planes that way.

This I can see happening if they add San Fierro, Las Venturas and maybe a GTA version of San Diego, as they are relatively close to Los Santos (either in the same state or the adjoining one), but not with Liberty City, which is still on the other side of the continent, it wouldn't make sense to fly over ocean as we know due to the existence of North Yankton (which is based on North Dakota) that a large landlocked area does exist in between.

 

Also, although the jets are the fastest vehicles in the game, I never get the feeling that they are anywhere close to the speeds real life jets have, cross continental flight, even on a shrunken world map like GTA would still take ages because of that.

I'm excited for a new map, but I just can't help but feel a little disappointed with the GTA V map. More specifically, I'm disappointed with the missed opportunities to make this map even greater. For example, the lack of interiors, the inability to go into food stores, even the stadium which you can't go inside. Imagine if you could go inside and do things like bike shows or monster truck races? Probably one of the things I'm most disappointed with is Blaine County where there simply is not enough to do. Next time you go online, look at the map and you will be lucky to see one person in the north. Now its hard to judge whether or not to these will be added in the future, but if they weren't added to due to console limitations for example, I wish they would have sacrificed the sea bed as I hardly go under the sea. I do think they will add Liberty City, but it will be interesting in how the environment will be set up. Will we have the pedestrians of GTA V or IV? Personally, I much enjoyed IV's pedestrians and environment because I am a fan of the grittiness for the environment from IV. Heck, I even used to enjoy just going around beating up pedestrians because the combat system was so good, in V the combat system is terrible, its just so repetitive. sh*t, just realised this has turned into a rant. f*ck it.

True, though right now anywhere you can get with planes, you can get there more or less as quick with helicopters. There's not enough distance for their speed advantage to be noticeable, and they spend more time landing too.

Well he's not entirely wrong.

- Most (but not all) of the interesting interiors from V are locked in Online as well, or only available in certain missions or modes, wouldn't be a stretch to see something similar happening to interiors in LC

- Peds, can't comment on this one, haven't played IV so I can't say if the Pedestrian system there was better or not.

- Ads same as above, though these would be different if only for the time that has passed between the events of IV and Online.

- Well this one is certain, IV feel was largely due to it's story and it's characters, and your interaction with them, if any of them would return it would be phone contacts or end of mission cutscenes like Martin is now in Online, and of course not all of them may return, and new ones may be added, it's gonna be LC but it's gonna be LC of 2016 not LC of 2008

 

LC of 2016? More like LC of 2013, I think.

 

That's no longer true, there's cars in the game that are based off cars that didn't exist in 2013

Well that is irrelevant. In game they can just say they are produced whenever they feel like.

 

Example is the Cheetah, they say it was built in the 70's in game.

I agree with you there, and they might actually have been already slightly useful if there was an actual runway in Paleto Bay, but if they ever put in San Fierro or Las Venturas they'd be excellent, LC tho, still to far away.

 

Tho if they ever do put in San Fierro or Las Venturas, the first time I go to either of them I'll grab a nice cruising car and just drive there, enjoying the sights along the way.

 

And also if they do put in Liberty City, I hope they don't just copy it over one on one, with just the city, but also add the surrounding area, like they did with Paleto County in V and Online, so maybe add some parts of the State of Liberty and the State of Alderney beyond the city limits, and update it a bit, like buildings being finished that were under construction during IV and such.

My theory is Dragoon had more stuff to leak or has recently got more stuff from the same way he got the executive update but has fun in the loop hence why they aren't saying much like with the apartments when fun said "it's not mine to share". It is surprising though if R* hasn't fixed the vulnerability Dragoon is using (whether he knows someone or is gaining unauthorized access) why they haven't done anything about it when they know this stuff is getting leaked. This is all assuming this stuff isn't in the latest update files which i'm pretty sure there not.

There isn't any evidence besides Fun an Yan being all cryptic and mysterious as always.

 

I'm even more unbelieving than when Dragoon leaked the Executives update.

 

But... time will tell. They're trustworthy, aren't they?

 

They have been so far, now granted, I haven't kept up with all the leaks they did, and I've also only been playing since PC launch and didn't join this place till late July this year, but from what I've seen they haven't been wrong so far, either what they found was added to the game proper, never added but still exist in the gamefiles currently, or existed in the gamefiles but removed afterwards (verified by other that these did actually exist)

 

So if they started lying and trolling now, they'd really hurt their reputations of being trustworthy sources of information that they've built up so far, and I don't see them as being dumb enough to do that.

[Emu War]

 

LC expansion would definitely cost money. Besides, it wouldn't really "split" the playerbase since certain assets would be locked between Los Santos and Liberty City.

 

LC expansion would be an awesome feature they could introduce in a story DLC and share it with Online.

I think everything from LS should transfer to LC. As far as guns, cars, clothes, ect. Go...

 

And when you go back to LS from LC, you should be able to bring back what you purchase...

I think it'd be cool to have new clothes/ guns only available in LC, or at least smart on R*'s part. Say they add a Porsche 918 that only a certain dealer in LC has, more people will buy the expansion. And they could bring that back to LS, and more people will buy the DLC and Rockstar will continue doing map expansions.

You know that that's because that way they could reference our online character and some of their actions in GTA5 SP, like Lester's reference of "I've been working with someone....but no, they're too unpredictable" when setting up the jewelry store heist with Michael, and Trevor's Series A Heist, which explains how he got the Impotent Rage statue.

 

They screwed it up tho when they added Benny's because that doesn't exist in SP, and that's just plain weird, I mean technically speaking he could have gone bankrupt (tho I doubt that with the money we've collectively been pouring into his shop) but even then, that still doesn't explain why all the graffiti is gone from the outside of the shop.

Personally I treat it that my character has been out of town for a period of time, during the events of GTA5 to be precise, and came back recently, and honestly that's what R* should have done imho, that way they could even add Michael and Franklin as new NPC's to hand out missions.

Edited December 19, 2015 by Reathyr

[Mach1bud]

I think eventually, there will be a large paid SP dlc, that adds things like Benny's and ties the Online story and SP story together better, effectively moving the timeline of Online forwards to during or after the events of SP. I mean we can assume it has already, but without a story arc to really confirm it, it is all up to our imaginations.

How exactly do you know for certain Niko is dead? Huh? A snide comment by Lester the Molester? Just because Niko went quiet doesn't mean he's dead. After all the sh*t that happened with Jimmy Pegorino and Dimitri, maybe he got out of the life and helped raise Roman's kid.

Yet it could have been done so easily already, especially with the fact the Lamar is the character that introduces our player character to LS at the beginning, and he is the main character of the Lowriders update.

 

When Lowriders was downloaded and you logged into Online for the first time after, they could have had a cutscene play instead of going into the Online straight away, just like when you log into Online for the very first time.

They could have had Lamar drop you off at the airport, because you had "business to attend to" in where ever you came from originally, and he would look after your stuff, your character shakes his/her head and walks inside, fade to black.

Then skip to your character returning, with in big letters "X months later" (don't really know over how long a period the GTA 5 story is supposed to take place), with Lamar picking you up again, and while driving you to the building that you've set your spawn at, he mentions how crazy things have been while you were away, the events of GTA5, and then mentions the whole deal with Benny and stuff.

 

That's how I would have done it.

It's not really a rumor... Rockstar themselves are the ones that said they hope to bring map expansions like "Liberty City" to GTAOnline.

 

 

It's simply a potential future for GTAOnline.. not speculation or rumor, but a possibility that we can hope for.

That isn't why there is a rumor right now. Fun and several others know of something found in the game code, or some other unknown source, that hints torwards LC coming to GTA Online.

 

We all know what they said before the game launched. Now it appears that there is a small possibilty that it will actually come to fruitition.
