Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 1)

[TheRealSnitch]

F*cking hell stop posting that Sabre GT pic. I think he understood the first time.

[riotvision]

Panel paint like that livery is definitely more of a Lowrider or Hotrod thing, Donks seem to all be either just candied metallic or have some goofy theme/brand.

[_CP_]

That photo seems to be faked. Why? It's called sabregt2, name doesn't contain "_hi" suffix, which is reserved for HQ mesh with detailed dashboard and working dials/steering wheel. So, normal detailed model should have about 15-20k polygons, but that car has 47k. And - livery isn't detailed, car should use a texture from "_hi.ytd" texture dictionary or even shouldn't be applied without modifications in LSC/Benny's mod shop.

[Guest]

Aren't the Sabre Turbo from IV and the Sabre from V pretty much the same thing? You can visually make the Sabre a 1:1 to the IV version in LSC anyway.

It's not unlikely that a Donk would be panel painted, I'm just saying I haven't really been seeing much of that. Someone should compare the wheel well size of the saber in that pic and one that we currently have.

[Tofu86_]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what modifications are available for this update at Benny's the most. R* chose good cars (Tornado, Slamvan Rat-loader etc.) and there is a lot of variety in this list as well.

Yeah those cars could have some really interesting modifications

That's because it was still WIP. The pic is very old (November 2015) and I'm pretty sure they 'fixed' it.

Anyway no, it's not fake. Dragoon released that pic, along with tons of other screenshots of the content he leaked.

It was an alpha build, they were probably just testing sh*t back then and haven't made a _hi file yet.

 

That image is 200% legit, whether the content will stay the same or not is the real question.

The content will stay but we don't know when.

You do realize that the picture is old, and from the Dragoon leak, yes? It could have been changed since, as this may have been just a working model. Let's not turn this back into a yacht fight like it was before E&OC.

[JesusFR33K]

I'm hoping it is Hot Rods, Rat Rods, and Muscle style Update. I think there may be more than 6 cars that would come to Benny's given the list has been added on to over the past few months, and may include more than what we already have. Be very expectant over the next few days.

Im thinking this too. I feel yans leaker doesnt want to give up everything so he doesnt get fired. He basically gave yan the previous list with one swapped car and the date. I almost think the "leaker" was given a lil info from r* themselves to start the hype, who knows. Today we prophesy in part, what tomorrow we will know in full. I would be suprised if the cars are strictly lowriders/donks, but im buying them either way lol.

[Hector Tavares]

I'm slowly wondering if we actually aren't getting an update tomorrow. The evidence is there, yes, but Rockstar has done some pretty confusing things.

[FuqOutTheWay]

So who genuinely thinks this time tomorrow we will have a fresh update? I am on the fence with this one.

The content will stay but we don't know when.

 

I meant the content itself. Like that livery in the Sabre's case.

 

In that image it's using one of the Faction's liveries as a placeholder.

 

A lot has changed in the E&OC release since Dragoon first leaked it, it's all documented in the Beta Hunt thread.

[Shimmer]

 

 

Why are people so sure the "Sabre" found in the files are the Sabre Turbo?

 

I'm thinking, why coudln't it be the Sabre from GTA IV? The one that is based of the Chevy Monte Carlo..

 

I think that would fit "better" as a Donk...

Because of this:

 

 

 

Also the V sabre looks better than the IV sabre. IMO.

 

Yeah I think so too.

Right. I don't like that livery personally. Not a fan of baby/kifflom blue.

[dairyworker]

tbh i am increasingly on the fence about this one aswell. i try not to get worked up for stuff thats not "official" but as a gta car guy/collector any new vehicle or mod (my taste or no) i have been waiting to see whats next adfter the RS and 900R. my hype is slightly above idle but ready to redline.....

[Rafae]

Last time qabeta2 was updated, we got the Drop Zone Update the day after. I clearly remember this.

[REVENGE777]

But given the people who came up with it, what else would you expect.

and who are those people??? >_>

[_CP_]

It's clearly using LQ interior, first spot is the mirror. Eveh with replaced interior and HQ mesh, polycount is around 45k, so it's not matching with "leaked" screen.

The Sabre Turbo in V is the same that Was in IV

 

Now, the Sabre is a totaly different car.. Both of which were in IV

Does the bobblhead on the dash, or the fact it says "also hide children" on the bottom left mean anything?

It was a WIP, also, maybe Benny's conversions have more polys in them due to the fact that when they are released, they have more detail than the cars already in game. Those extra polys could also account for the livery that is being shown.

 

But, maybe you never been to a car meet that was exclusively all Benny's cars. The higher poly counts tanks framerate when you have 30 people in a meet that has a converted car.

and who are those people??? >_>Dumb people or idiots if you will, since they ruin classic cars.

 

I wasn't there for the meeting when they decided to call them "donks", so I won't be able to give you any names.

[Mangled Crow]

If this update does release tomorrow (or tonight), then some people will be disappointed that there will be no "donks" available, just you wait and see on this forum tomorrow.

Again it comes from Dragoon's leak, with was 100% true.

Most of the vehicles that Dragoon posted (that were part of EOC) had LQ/missing interior.

Also all LW have "LQ" interior:

Aren't the Sabre Turbo from IV and the Sabre from V pretty much the same thing? You can visually make the Sabre a 1:1 to the IV version in LSC anyway.

 

You seem to be slightly mistaken. There were two versions of the Sabre in GTA IV. The standard Sabre and the Sabre GT. The difference is that the GT became the turbo in V and the standard Sabre was an 80s Monte Carlo SS.

 

Sabre GT:

Yeah, my mistake. This migraine is f*cking me up. What I meant was the GT from IV and the Turbo V are still pretty the same right?

Yes, and the same as the Sabre Turbo from Vice City and San Andreas.

[Mrnrfan182]

Whether this drops tomorrow or not makes little difference. This will be, at best, another "drop zone" style pacifier with content that'll be old in an hour. All of these pages of debate and speculation for a handful of cars many of you already own and some obnoxious updates that will probably break more than they fix. You know Rockstar would promote the sh*t out of anything substantial and game changing...I'm thinking tomorrow will be full of disappointment and anger.
