New Update

January 29, 2016

Anybody ever think to just buy or upgrade a car because they want to, without anyone else's opinion? Because they themselves like the car or enjoy driving the car?

It's not as fast as such and such...

Okay? Who tf cares?

Why turn everything into a bitchfest?

This is the internet. If you think differently from me than you are wrong and stupid.

I am willing to bet that the Banshee's under performance is a glitch, my reasoning being that it seems the cosmetic glitch of Benny's upgrades disappearing seems to mostly affect the Banshee. My Karin has been mostly unaffected from losing it's upgrades, unless it's something really small I am not noticing is missing.

Unless Rockstar is trolling us hard and the upgrade is ment to make the Banshee underperform lol. As many have said here I feel that a lowrider pt 2 is coming around March, the leaked data and modders seem to suggest that is the time frame. But I am more excited at the possibility of customizing more cars at Bennys! I want my Adder to get the Benny treatment!

i think both sultan RS & the banshee 900R look great but i absolutely don't understand the lack of performance from them & most of the DLC vehicles for that matter..

why give us these amazing looking cars that have zero chance to compete against the better cars in their classes??

i would love to hear a rockstar rep explain why this is so consistently their business practice..

I was spawning a car with the native trainer in single player and the new update added a "btype3", a new Roosevelt variant. The only noticeable difference is that the extra wheels on the fenders have cases rather than being exposed. The in game name is "Albany Roosevelt Velor". I suppose this means a new valentines day doc is coming.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

You're most certainly right, that doesn't make it any bit less stupid, just saying.

After this recent update, I'm assuming this is what some people want to do to Benny. I have no complaints though, I believe the Sultan RS is well worth the price.

January 29, 2016

Just because one guy who makes one kind of track said they were slower dosent mean they actually ARE.

Notice how the only person who agreed with you is someone who barely races.. and knows nothing about it.

He's not wrong on principle. May be wrong, but not on principle.

A 1,000hp top fuel dragster would get its ass kicked by a Panto on Broughy's course, for example. I appreciate the work Broughy does but his tests aren't thorough enough.

Broughy is not a good scientist to be fair. Racing a few laps on Cutting Corners is not a valid method to get reliable results. What he had to do is having a few people, racing a few hundered laps on at least ten different tracks on different days on different platforms with different hardware and different internet connections. And use fully upgraded cars as well. He did not use the highest spoiler on the Banshee. He also can't compare new laptimes with old laptimes. He needs to take new laptimes with old cars to compare them. Obviously, he can't do all that stuff, but a few milliseconds difference can be caused by everything. He is as accurate as he can be, but it is not a valid method. There must be a difference spec-wise and until this has been found out, i will believe that a fully upgraded Banshee performs exactly the same as a fully upgraded Banshee 900R. The Sultan RS however is faster than the Sultan. Saying the cars are slower is definitely incorrect.

Your countings are correct, Denture. But i consider all 2013/2014 updates as minor updates, while we had to wait the most last year. At least Heists, Lowrider and Executives I see as major ones. Not saying a monthly schedule is going to come back, but if they release two cars per month instead of six every three months, i'd prefer it this way. Benny's is perfect for that. I also like the 2 in 1-update-method. It's good to know you already have the next update on your harddrive.

The principle of the matter is not the subject.

Im dealing with facts.. Not just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Even without broughys videos as proof, its still not able to compete with the mid-top tier super cars.. I found that out even before i saw this videos.

January 29, 2016

I'd have given the Sultan another 25% power or so. I was hoping for a Ken Block car rather than a Group N one, in rally terms.

I look forward to the first true Super-class car that can have 'Super Mods' (Benny's mods - that's the name from the Social Club stats).

I also still want unrealistic Hydraulics that can make my Buccaneer jump over fences but then I've always wanted more fun than R* allow.

True! I'm certainly not complaining about free content--as I think funmw2 and others suspect, this is likely a "bonus" update before a potential Lowriders 2 (?) update and/or Valentine's Day update.

I still think R* would be wise to spend more time fixing bugs and cleaning up code--might be hard for us to swallow as we wait a bit longer between content drops, but the benefits would be worth it short- and long-term.

I figure either the Sultan and Banshee weren't ready for Lowriders or, more likely, they removed them to keep the overall theme of that DLC consistent. Chuck em together with '16s Valentines' Surprise content ready to go live, and you've got enough to warrant an unannounced DLC like this.

As such, new DLC in 2 weeks! Yay.

Still a few bugs to be sorted:

* When in a game for a while, sometimes it stops informing you of your kills, though other players can see them

* On the Pisces yacht, when getting into the Swift for the first time it will sometimes kick you straight back out, and you can't get back in

* Sometimes in the new Low Rider cars (possibly the others), you cannot select a music station or do burnouts. You have to get out and back in the car again to return things to normal

January 29, 2016

^ Yeah the first 2 have been pissing me off for a while now.

And this STILL isn't fixed;

cool I always wanted to buy a banshee, I guess now is the time....though I need to stack up on money first...as always, with every goddamn update...well...time to get my grind on, again, and again, and again...

I hope you're buying it for looks alone if you intend to upgrade it, judging by your name Noclue_42 I will assume you don't know the new Banshee is slower than the Classic Bansh.

I don't know if this has been reported, but sometimes when you get in your car, it doesn't start up. It takes a few attempt's. PC

that's been happening on PS4 as well.

Don't know if this has been asked already, I don't have the time to read every page but do you guys think in the future we'll be able to customise super cars at benny's? The banshee was parked in benny's but the cheetah is too.

If this has been asked already just tell me the page where I can find it
