GTA Online 2?

[Skycam]

You'll probably have to make a new GTA character.

[Shadowfennekin]

 

We need to keep our ranks and character skill for sure. I'd be pissed if I was the same level as everyone else, it'd clear up whose returned to GTA and is not a noob.

 

 

K/D should be reset though (:<

KDR should just be removed.

 

Or that

While thy're at it, remove jets and Marksman Sniper.

[Angela-X]

Too many people have a ton of modded money, so transferring money would not be viable.

[Mrs. Buzz]

 

So you think the new GTA won't have an online mode?

Just quoting to say: Like you signature-pic - it's so ruminant

Nah, never remove stuff, just get things to counter them.....some weapons that can actually take down jets and buff the heavy sniper (range, and headshot should always be an instant kill)

Keeping the rank would be good enough for me. I'm not fond of the idea about starting all over again

[BlackMilk]

If there is a new online game coming that's supposed to replace this one at some point, it would most likely be a fresh start for everyone.

Talk about losing part of the playerbase all you want, we all know that developers do whatever they want because they know that if they have a popular brand, it's going to sell.

 

Pre-order bonuses, overpriced DLC, non-cosmetic "micro"-transactions. Some of those things done during early access. Etcetera.

Think about all the things Rockstar could have done to improve this game, issues and bugs small and large, missing features and options. Available from day one or now. Chances are there's plenty of Rockstar employees who know that the game could be much better and that it could even attract more players. But they're confident people will come anyway.

 

The name Grand Theft Auto is going to keep selling. Even if they made a game that was COMPLETELY ****ed up and unplayable, and I mean really unplayable - not just being stuck in the clouds loading a session for a few minutes, people would still line up to check out and buy the following game in the series. If no fresh start happens for all players in the successor to the current GTA:O, that's basically Rockstar being generous. In their mind, anyway.

[Zader]

As long as I can get a 416, a Dominator, and a fox mask, I absolutely don't give a sh*t what happens to my character.

It'd be downright stupid to let all the level 8000s port up with their max rank and infinite money.

[Jenkiiii]

Where's the sense in killing Los Santos and our characters in favour of a brand new game? Why not just carry on?

And where's the sense in further dividing the GTA online player base between Los Santos and city X, Y or Z?

If Rockstar's got any sense they'll develop a new city/expansion and charge us $60 (or whatever) to access it. Once you pay that fee you're free to explore the new city, but of course, you don't own anything - no apartments, offices, bike clubs, nothing...

And perhaps we could moor our yachts in different cities and finally find a proper use for them?

[Jassassino]

Eh, I'd like to see something where you can transfer your old characters over to a new game in order to get a unique Los Santos returner car or gun, but I wouldn't wanna keep levels or money. That'd just guarantee overly rich, over levelled players from the very get go of online and really disenfranchise anyone new to the online mode.

[JoeBoneless]

How do threads like this last this long

[Jassassino]

It won't live past the 24 hour mark.

[dieseltech20]

New game....new map.....is going to equal new character.

 

Not like it matters, I don't expect a part 6 until 2020 at the earliest.

[mcgroin]

 

 

And replaced with amount of times you walk up to a player and dry-hump them only to get shot in the face with a shotgun.

 

I'd probably have the highest dry-hump KD in here.

 

 

There ain't nothing dry about it, you clammy goddess.

[nido997]

It woud be awesome if we keep our stuff from Online V1 in online V2 : money, cars , assets etc.... but I don t see R* shutting down the servers for V1 , so i´m pretty sure that we´ll have to start from scratch in V2 ... in fact , I think they could run both at the same time , V1 & V2 !

PS: we´re talking about AT LEAST 2 more Online V1 years . I don´t see GTA 6 beeing released before the end of 2018 ....2019 or even 2020 in my opinion

[gglenn1966]

There is so much money to be made in selling you all that crap all over again. I can't believe they wouldn't use that model.

[BitBasher]

Why? Because you actually have to progress again? You reach a certain point in any game where you need to start over again.. Unless you're mindless.

What? No you don't. I enjoy using the items, I didn't particularly enjoy earning them and the time spent without them. The time I have to spend with an incomplete character is just a waste of time. I enjoy playing the game with all those tools available to me. I would be totally happy if there was no advancement and all was unlocked from the get go.

[nkjellman]

I have wondered about this as well.

 

If the next GTA does allow you to fly to previous cities, I see no reason why it shouldn't. However, that means that they are going to have to keep every vehicle from GTA V, every weapon, etc..., along with all of the modifications. However, they wouldn't need to port over black listed vehicles unless they appear in a mission.

 

Rockstar did say that they want to keep GTA Online evolving and expanding. But they do need to make new GTA's, and if they do make a new GTA, they would want to have GTA Online running on the new game. In that case, it would be able to take advantage of the updated graphics and engine enhancements. So GTA Online could carry over to the next game. They just need to keep everything from the old game so our characters don't loose anything.

 

If the next GTA title doesn't have Los Santos in it, then they will have to reimburse you for your properties from GTA V when you transfer. But lets hope that GTA 6 will feature Liberty City, Los Santos and Blaine County, and a new location.

 

But another thing. If GTA 6 does feature multiple cities like Rockstar said they would want to do, and they carry over GTA Online from GTA 5 to GTA 6, they would have to modify the old locations to appear as they do in what ever year the next title takes place in. I am going to guess it will be set the year that the game comes out, so probably some time in the late 2010's, early 2020's. So that means that old contact missions would have to be modified. Especially ones that take place in construction sites. But it is possible that the contact missions will be replaced with new contact missions.

 

Also, if GTA Online carries over from GTA 5 to GTA 6, I would imagine that updates will stop coming out for GTA 5 on current gen and PC, and they would be coming out for GTA 6.

"If Rockstar's got any sense"

 

That sentence can end in a lot of different ways, and we're not always seeing that! Requiring players to play risky missions to earn money in public sessions which are infamous for being big, chaotic deathmatches. Making jets dominate everything else because of explosive cannon rounds. Fixing money glitches (understandable) but pretty much ignoring glitches and exploits that give players direct advantages over eachother in combat (not so understandable). I'm a little too tired to go on listing a lot of other things, but I think you get my point.

 

The arguments you and many other posters here provide make a lot of sense and if I was a developer, it'd definitely be something like that, not a completely fresh start for players. But this is Rockstar that we're talking about.

[TarnishedGamer]

No doubt you will start from scratch, will likely have option to carry over the look of your character and unlock a sign/logo determining your previous rank/experience and for being a returning player.

A free garage with a few free cars for returning would keep everyone sweet. Knowing R* they will give a 'unique' t-shirt ofcourse too.

Main thing is as long as there are glitches to exploit to make money (which there will be)

Only concern is they will probably employ a crack team to remain on standby to hotfix any money glitches within 24 hours to protect the precious sharks cards.

Xmas 2013 billionaire bonanza to re-occur again would be a lovely bonus though, even for a few hours.

I have a feeling that "GTA Online 2" will give you access to Los Santos if you have GTA V installed but your rank and items are only available in this location. The new location is a entirely new experience.

[Non Funkable Token]

Why let us transfer our precious toys when they can re-sell them to us another time? It's a no brainer.

 

The only thing that can last is our character's appareance. And that's it.

 

A good amount of current vehicles will be scrapped at the beginning and then ported back, tho. Some others will be updated/upgraded. And some will be lost and forgotten. It's the same routine all over again.

[Drip God]

You should've added a poll I like polls

 

I would buy the whole game just because I'm a huge gta fan but I'm sure I wouldn't finish story mode and would hop immediately online

[theNGclan]

Considering the technology will be different, I doubt we'll be able to transfer our characters, mainly because they're using the dated blendshape tech.

[speeddemon0322]

I wouldn't mind restarting, that's the case with most games today.

 

If they did let us transfer, I would be fine with only getting some small bonus, like starting the game at level 25 or 50, returning content, and a small amount of spending cash, between $100,000 to $250,000 (remember, when the game first came out, things were not nearly as expensive as they are now). Just something to get the ball rolling.

 

They can even explain the situation with something like a short cut-scene, like getting chased out of LS by the FIB, only making it out with a small amount of cash, the reputation that you carry, and the clothes on your back.

[.Vooodu.]

You're going to have to start over... and thats just the ways its going to be. Who cares? New game.. new start.

 

 

You won't be able to tansfer your old character... your rank or your money. And it makes no sense to do so.

 

 

GTA 6 will have totally new character bulilds/creations. Which means transfering old looks would look stupid and make no sense. And the fact is.. you can just make a new character that sort of looks like your old character and move on with your life.. Takes a few minutes..

 

Ranks.. Will not transfer. It makes no sense to transfer that. Its a new game..

 

Money... YA f*ckIN RIGHT!... LOL!!! Like Take Two would ever allow that to happen and have everyone start of GTA 6 as rich as possible.

 

 

 

And lets be honest... Even tho looks, rank and money won't transfer over it won't matter. Because once GTAS 6 comes out you're gonna buy it.. NO MATTER WHAT. Who you kiddin?

People don't even know when or if a new GTA with Online function will come out, but already expect it to offer a similar experience to the current one and to keep high stats.

 

It's quite annoying to see threads about the very same thing comming up constantly.

[Rammer2k]

Why would anyone want to start a new game with fully maxed stats, money, etc. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but when GTAO first came out, part of the fun was ranking up, unlocking all the car mods, guns, etc. Of course, this was when things weren't super expensive as they are now.

[.Vooodu.]

.. I know right?

 

I think its kind of funny they think R* would even consider it.

 

New character creation.. New kinds of stats.. New game play mechanics. Would all be hindered if R* tried to make the game work with an older version. Making a new game and trying to hold on to old game mechanics/characters/stats would hold the game back.

 

And really. Money transfering over would basically be Take Two shootings its profit gains of GTA 02 in both knee caps and the nuts. It makes no sense to even consider that happening. That would never.. ever.. happen.

[BitBasher]

Does no one remember the interview about GTA Online where they said it would continue to expand with future games, and the reason it is not GTAV Online is because it is not specifically tied to that game?
