Future DLC Discussion Thread

Oh, it'll be announced - just not in advance of the stuff coming out. Last bunch of holiday specials had a Newswire post on the day of the update, not earlier:

You know what would be a cool addition? Ya know how in your garage, you press down on the d-pad and it shows the name of your car and it's insurance status, insured or not insured? They should add that into free roam. Can't even count on both hands how many times I've lost a car because I forgot to put insurance on it and didn't realize it.

Meanwhile the tank just has to take a look at the player and blast them with his/her cannon, and it's just one shot. I'm not saying the tank's not weak (it is) but it would have a pretty unfair advantage over someone who's on foot still.

 

A tanks worst enemy is a player with an rpg and grenades on a single story building that has no obstructions. I've won LTS' that way. It was the biggest disappointment to me when they nerfed the tank, it wasn't an accomplishment dominating them on foot any more.

 

I would love a game of hunters v tanks.

[CrysisAverted]

So were totally likely to receive another update in foreseeable future right guys?

The tank should be stronger than it is now, but assuming both players are equally competent, the player in the tank does have the advantage over the player on foot, in my opinion.

Tanks are lame. Bring on a real heli, the Hunter. I've missed the legit hunter, heck it could have an ever faster fire rate than the savage, that way theres incentive to buy one.

Wait why this thread went from talking about future updates to "gimme the Hunter" ?

Either the sudden SA nostalgia overload or our well known fanboy of one particular helicopter whose name starts with H started infecting the forums with the old-vehicles-mania.

 

If that's the case, beware, forum members. You might start writing about bringing your favorite vehicle back using every possible opportunity, annoying some members to the point of wishing death upon you and said vehicle.

 

But if that vehicle is Uranus, Turismo or Police Stockade I will protect you by making useless supportive comments no one will read anyway.

I wonder how they would implement the Hunter(If they wanted it in an upcoming DLC) Military Hardware DLC? GTA Classics DLC? or just an Aircraft only DLC? Interesting....

simple, just like the savage, let it be used by enemies in some sort of mission. (merryweather? or steal it from Fort Zancudo)

(Or get a direct hit on a player that is only half exposed)

Unfortunately with lack of new information speculation pretty much devolves I into wish listing.

 

We know about about "Be My Valentine". I think there could be more speculation on "Lowriders 2" (since High Life wasn't called business 2 neither would Lowriders 2 be called that which could open it up to a slightly different theme) Also SP dlc is still a possibility with all it might include.

 

And now cue armax or whatever his name is to come in and call Fun a POS.

[Tails Prower]

I don't normally post my thoughts but since things are pretty dry at the moment I'll inject my thoughts.

 

Be My Valentine is next up as we know the content is already in this update file and makes me a very happy gamer as not getting a chance last year sucked

but we all know the reason why.

 

Heists are due their 1st anniversary on 10 March now there's nothing to back this up but R* last words were not to expect any heists soon but that was quite

some time ago and I would imagine that maybe they have a surprise heist anniversary update to give us a new set but if not they will do an event weekend

giving double pay on heists or some sort of recognition for a year on.

 

Lowriders 2 will probably appear in May then I think they will go quiet and do Independence Day event weekend and allow us access to firework launcher

and the old content but maybe some new USA themed car wraps/horns etc.

 

August they will finally reveal to the world if the leaked Casino and Story Mode DLC content is coming and I'll say this quite frankly it would not surprise

me if they announced it as a separate game disc/paid DLC because R* love getting our money with the features not being available online.

 

October we will have Halloween again and the cycle repeats with Festive Surprise over Xmas/New Year 2016.

 

That's my thoughts anyway, I've been around this game a long time now to start piecing things together in my head of what may come.

Interesting ideas, I would really love a Fort Zancudo kind of heist, I'm not technically saying we would get a jetpack - but it would be nice to at least see an NPC use one or allow us to use one ONLY for the heist, it's not like it's overpowered or anything, considering you can buy a tank and get it to spawn right in Vinewood, buy a Homing Launcher at level 1 while the RPG is level 100? and even purchase a personal jet that can spawn at helipads now. I would rather have two extreme heists sort of like this rather than 5 mediocre and boring heists that get old quick.

Maybe they could even add a H***** with the Zancudo heist as I feel it would go pretty well, maybe we could pretend to be soldiers and have a Hunter as a getaway, or maybe we could have a H***** pilot protecting us sort of like in the Humane Labs heist.

 

Now that I mention jetpacks and something that rhymes with munter, you could really fill a Zancudo heist with easter eggs non stop referencing GTA SA, maybe we could have a familiar face manage our heist, and if updates continued with the SA theme, a Savanna would make a stellar lowrider.

 

EDIT: I forgot to censor a mention of the h*****! Sorry, Hunter lovers!

My god that would be the worst thing ever. Don't give R* ideas....

 

Here's me sniping someone out of the air in free roam by exploding their jetpack tanks with the heavy sniper:

It'd be a shame, and a bad business decision if there wasn't any new online content along with a story mode dlc. New contacts and missions for example.

No that'd be a good thing to see and kill in free roam. Plus a new direction for Jake SidSid's videos. RPGing jetpacks instead of jets.

A jetpack would be great though. Even if it was easy to kill, it could still be good for just personal travel. Great for exploring, and just messing about. Besides, I bet snipers would love using it to get on buildings, etc.

 

And I'm definitely digging his idea about the Hunter. It could be the one non - jet vehicle that can really put up a fight against jets, plus it could do crazy stunts, flood the streets with rockets, etc.

Jetpack would be terrible in Online, IMO. People would rarely use anything else - all of free roam would be overrun with them, and it would completely subtract any lingering sense of realism from the game. Just a bunch of Supermen flying around. And as for snipers.... ewww, no thanks. Prying those guys off of their rooftops is hard enough without them being able to respawn, fire up the jetpack, and fly right back up.

I think while the jet pack could be fun. It should only come to single player as it would be over kill in GTA O.

 

One person using it is.. sort of cool. When everyone uses it it becomes silly.. Basically making GTA O a Bobba Fett Simulator..

 

 

Id rather see some sort of grappling hook added to scale buildings with. Id feel that would be a bit more entertaining and not so over the top.

When Rockstar add a magical 6th heist called the Black Project heist and they allow an NPC to fly it who says "This is some complex stuff, I don't think you would be able to control it, take the escape chopper"

 

Or better yet add Lester flying it saying woo-hoo on the radio before he flies away and then proceeds to sell it so he can give you payment for helping him secure some data or something.

 

3 years and instead of flying a jetpack ourselves we see Lester flying it into the sunset. I hope you're taking notes Rockstar.

Wuy is this place so dead lol?

[Hunter]

The jetpack would be silly yeah, but surely we've already passed that point anyway? I mean, there are fighter jets everywhere, super cars, people turning into beasts, etc.

 

It would probably be used by everyone though, that much is true. Still, they could make it a little harder to get hold of. Maybe a Pegasus vehicle. Plus if the jetpack can easily be destroyed, then that's all it would take to get someone out of their jetpack.

 

Just seems like a shame to miss out on yet another thing from San Andreas.

I'm sure there would be plenty of ways to balance it, such as being able to be targeted by Homing Launchers and showing up on the map. I think a more Merryweather type system could be in place for it, since the Merryweather CEO controls Zancudo from what I remember (probably wrong, don't judge)

 

Sort of like a heli pickup but they drop off a jetpack. Maybe put it in the 10M price bracket so it's rare to see and add a Jetpack Deluxe made of pure gold that costs 100M for no reason whatsoever, except this time you can drink wine while hovering in the air with the jetpack. (I hope people realise I'm joking)

 

But seriously, we've seen more far-fetched things than jetpacks so it wouldn't be too over the top, especially considering this is the first time we've been back to LS from SA, which had the jetpack. Hydras spawning at helipads, airstrikes called in, tanks spawning in the city, golden planes and helicopters, homing launchers and everything else. It would probably be the most harmless thing in GTA so far, but would be nice to get up to certain places and to get over those annoying invincible fences at the airport.

 

It would be far easier to make the jetpack too weak than to make it too powerful, you're so exposed when using one.

[BobFromReboot]

Since things seem to be going so heavily in the direction of Benny's modifications, I'd love to see the liveries be available in different colors. Seems like it would be pretty easy to do. Just put a "Livery" section under "Primary" and "Secondary" in the Respray menu, with all the same color options. Imagine a chrome livery on the new Sultan? Mmmmmmmmmm....

 

There should be like 250 basic patterns that we can customize. Even just different Primary/Secondary setups. Not everybody wants a big stripe to be the Secondary colour.

[Tails Prower]

I agree Fort Zancudo is underused but I'd rather not have a jetpack, I get too much grief from that in Star Wars

Battlefront. LOL.

 

Although I'd like it to be owned, I much prefer the P996 Lazer being restricted to Fort Zancudo, makes a worthwhile

challenge going for one and I love the will/won't the tank spawn and take me out.

[Nutduster]

I was opposed to them adding the Hydra as a Pegasus vehicle in the first place. Now that that ship has sailed, I'd still prefer a 5 minute cooldown on calling Pegasus (similar to what is already there during Criminal Damage), so they're not flying all over the place constantly. This is not just for realism reasons, it's also for game balance, because those things are obnoxious.

 

As for Hunt the Beast, I don't mind it. It's just a novelty game mode that happens to occur in free roam - not too different from firing up RPGs vs. Insurgents or something. It's a rare event and only one player is the Beast during it. If players were able to turn into the Beast at will any time they wanted, I'd be more bothered.

[Hunter]

I think as long as you were limited to using one - handed weapons while in the jet pack, they probably would be easy to deal with. Think of when you try to parachute at someone and SMG them - it rarely goes well. If you were approaching them more slowly with a jetpack, I can imagine you'd get gunned down by some kind of assault rifle before long.

 

That's just me though, and, to be fair, they would be all over the place if Rockstar added them. Even if they were getting killed all the time, I can't imagine people not jumping to try them out.

 

The Hunter's the bigger deal to me anyway. I think the jetpack would be nice, but the Hunter's where it's at.

It doesn't really matter about 'other things'.. Other bad decisions should not mean they should throw the book out of the window.

 

 

The only way to add a jet pack to free roam and not make it look stupid. Would be a free roam event type of thing...

 

If a jet pack become available to buy.. everyone would buy it.. everyone would use it. Price would not matter... And the end result is GTA O would look more like a space shooter.
