GTA Online 2?

[BlackMilk]

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?

I do remember people saying all that and I'm sure they said it in interviews, but it's possible that they'll have changed their minds?

But I sure wouldn't mind if it simply kept going. I'm not old yet or anything, but I don't like having to start over with rank OR money if it's basically the same game. Some years ago I would've thought differently about that. I just think that people who worked hard for their cash (several years and counting) shouldn't be disadvantaged because a large number of people choose to cheat by using glitches or mods.

but at the same time the CEO of take-two said that GTAO support won t be permanent :

of course there will be an online version of GTA 6 , but It would be a brand new one , not an expansion of the current GTAOnline (unfortunately)

Lol @ those who would be salty at starting with a new character in the next GTA Online installment

[Collibosher]

"we should be able to keep our rank & money" LOL! What is wrong with you people? Transferring your modded character from 7 year old game, that doesn't make any kind of sense, first day in GTA Online 2 and people with 8000 rank blowing your cars with infinite money?

 

Why would anyone want to play a new game where your progress is already completed?

If it's a new game perhaps not. If it's an expansion (which people thought would be the case) it would make no sense to wipe everything.

And again, it's beyond stupid to make EVERYONE lose everything because some people cheat their way to a higher rank and fuller bank account.

 

And maybe you didn't notice, but there were cheaters early on when GTA:O started as well. And unless they really improve on the programming and make sure there's no glitch or exploit possible, it's going to happen anyway. If Rockstar makes everyone start fresh, you know what happens? All the people who played legitimately to high rank and lots of cash will start with nothing. All the cheaters will (surprise!) cheat and gain the advantage that they lost by the reset.

 

With a new game you start from scratch. With an expansion you keep going. That makes sense.

[ChorizoBlanco]

They should keep updating GTA:O. Maybe a map change. GTA:O may be situated in a different place every 3 or 4 years so the game won't die. If they do this, the only thing we lose is our houses, not cars, probably no yacths, etc.

[BitBasher]

Why would anyone want to play a new game where your progress is already completed?

I don't want a new game. I want this game continued and expanded with new land masses and opportunities, integrated into future GTA titles. Like they mentioned it would work.

 

Also progress is a bullsh*t mental hoop in this game. In GTA I don't play to progress. I have had both characters past the point of earning things for years. I play because I like playing the game without handicap. I'm not addicted to a skinner box where I feel rewarded because I get a thing after grinding for it. I like the game itself and like playing it in a non handicapped state.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

If they want to lose half the fanbase they'll make you restart.

Yea well...no...in fact, if they make a GTAO that is actually fixed, has dedicated servers and were reporting cheaters would actually do something for 5 years, and they are not milking it so much like they did after ill gotten gains 2, i honestly would be motivated to play even more.

 

Seriously, you guys act like this game is your life...it are just game stats and fake money...if in 5 years they just shut the whole buggy thing down, i would not care that much.

Back then they also talked about single player dlc so....meh....

There won't be a GTA Online 2. There's simply too many chances for Rockstar to lose the huge fanbase that GTAO brought them. A "new" version would confuse too many people and would alienate the community. I wouldn't mind more advanced tech coming to GTAO, but a new game entirely just doesn't make sense fiscally for Rockstar. It's better in the long term to continue making content for GTAO as it is now.

They definatly are gonna make content for this game till summer...thing is...if afterwards they just keep the thing open for 5 years...i think that would be fun enough.

 

Really, the last gta online mode also stayed open long enough, right ?

I maybe in the minority but I wouldn't mind starting over as Level 1 and with little money, but I would like to stick with Lola if that's possible.

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?

"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.

 

 

Who knows what Rockstar is planning or whether it'll be favourable for players (or for them)?

 

One thing I like about the announcement of RD2 is the gradual wind-down of GTA online, it's almost a relief knowing Rockstar are concentrating on other things, and when RD2 is finally released they'll start concentrating on the next GTA online instalment. Either way, it's good to be at the end of an era and to start playing GTA online for fun instead of grinding towards the next goal.

 

And all I hope is for Rockstar to give us a $60-100 passport to the next GTA game, but not completely scrub it and go back to scratch, as I really like Los Santos and want to go back there on a frequent basis.

You're probably not* in the minority. Wouldn't be surprised if the community is split down the middle when it comes to what people think about this.

But for me, as a collector, I dread the idea of having to start making all that money all over again in what would basically be the same game continued in a different location or set in a different period.

 

Thanks to the features currently available in GTA:O, it's possible for me to make enough money to be set for future updates. I spend most of my time right now making money but it's not what I enjoy the most. What I want to do is at some point just call it quits with the money schemes and focus on finding friends to play with so we can have fun in all sorts of activities from official R* jobs to custom jobs, improvised mini-games and free mode shenanigans.

 

The reason I do this is because I'm a collector. Some people just play different jobs (I'm not competitive, don't care much for DM's and right now I don't race) but I like collecting vehicles and such. Honestly, most of the people who constantly question why some of us want more and more storage space won't understand this. It's simply that I want to collect, customise, drive, experience as many of the vehicles as possible.

And if you look at what's available now, that costs many, many millions of in-game dollars.

Starting from scratch with all that content, more content to be added over time and all at those high prices again? No, thank you.

I'm getting a day older and while I definitely have plenty of time for videogames, that constant grind simply isn't for me anymore, at least not in yet another new game.

 

It'd be a different story if we were talking about SP, not online. Look at GTA V. You start out with very little money but there's some ways to make more and at the end of the story itself you can do a couple of missions to become filthy rich and pretty much afford whatever you want.

That I don't mind, obviously. But grinding for cash for weeks or months (one does tend to also spend time doing other things IRL and playing other games, also not acting like a robot and generally being chilled out in GTA) isn't particularly enjoyable for all of us.

 

How can someone not understand that starting over simply isn't appealing to everyone? Rockstar could just let people keep their stuff, but instead of making everything readily available to everyone, make people unlock things again. And I don't mean by rank, I mean by actually completing missions and jobs. And remember the medals we got for SP missions? Make those requirements. Letting people keep all their cash isn't an issue if you don't make everything about money only.

Half the people in here think they know what Rockstar is gonna do lol. I'm sorry, none of us knows what their plans are and won't know until they're good and ready to release the info.

 

Personally, I don't think they will make us start over with rank etc. BUT like I said we won't know and as far as modded accounts go for transfer IF they let us, they'll probably have things in place to stop that.

I know what your saying, Part of me feels if we started with our current level's, we wouldn't get the full experience out of the game (lower missions and so on as we'd come in hugely overpowered), maybe the chance to bring 1 character and have 1 new one. One thing is I very much doubt we'd get to take cars and guns as we won't know what will be in the next game, some of the older ones will be taken out, and new ones added.

Starting level 1 would be great, as it'll be a completely different game with all sorts of new things to experience when ranking up. I agree, being able to copy the same character look might be a nice addition but not sure how likely that is, as I'd expect the character creator to be improved upon immensely and it might be more detailed/flexible in the next game (ie: maybe different heights, body builds etc).

This not an MMO. We don't unlock new areas as we level up. Pretty much the only thing we get is extra life that's a minimal effect, and style options. Starting a new character now days is easy as pie because they added all the weapons that make a new character competitive with an old one.

 

"New character advancement" is mostly an illusion seen in a warped hindsight. All the "New things to experience as we level up" don't so much exist. Pretty much only mission unlocks that no one plays and new missions don't even use anymore. Heists and other new missions like Lamar are now available from the get go to new players.

 

EDIT: Even more, as I think about it. All the changes that Rockstar has made over time are to reduce and eliminate the impact of levels that was there at launch. That's the direction they are moving in, and what we should probably expect in the future.

For me the catalyst of cost vs grind was the Grotti X80 Proto. That car was 3 million $ inc. upgrades.

 

If you think I'm going to Liberty City (or wherever) and grinding/glitching/paying 3 million dollars to drive that car all over again, you've got another thing coming, Rockstar. My patience has been really tested, and all I ask is a 'passport' access to the new game/city/expansion which I will happily pay top dollar for.

 

Thanks for a great game.

[Dr Labuschagne]

Personally. Business wise, it would be very stupid for Rockstar to make all players keep their money and rankings. They should erase everything and let everyone start from scratch either way.

 

I don't know why the hell this thread is still up as its pretty obvious how it going to happen.

[middevonclown]

Mount Chiliad erupts (possibly because it's full of aliens) showering the city in dust and lava. We all have no choice but to run away to Vice City with one vehicle and the clothes on our backs.

 

That's how I would do it anyway.

You're not right, buddy. Rockstar made 1 BILLION dollars in the first week of GTA V sales, and a second billion over the first month. Plus continued international sales and next-gen upgrades. They've made nothing like that amount of money from GTA online, so all they have to do is charge everyone for access to the next city, let's call it GTA 6, and then continue the GTA online shark card process the way it is. It doesn't matter if people use existing characters or how much money they've got in the bank because these people do not generate GTA online revenue. Rockstar get their revenue from new game sales, and from new players who buy shark cards. They will never get any money from me and from other experienced players from shark cards, so they'd be wise not to piss everyone off by scrubbing all their hard work over the last three years. Give us a new game please, Rockstar, and count the billions when you launch it over the first few months, and then let us continue playing the way we've been doing over the last three years.

[Balloons]

It will be a completely different game, gtao map is too small going forward.

Then expand it, and charge us X amount of dollars to go across the state border, river, whatever...

[Sagrawa]

I wouldn't mind either way they go. But I doubt they will be able to patch up this game in some of it's fundamentals like the physics that are completely off. At a certain point it would be nice to have a GTA world where a supercar isn't the best car offroad, hitting a bump decreases your speed and having some more realistic speeds when the maps are large enough for it, or turbulence not being some random shaking of your plane. Even more things like just increasing the motion and fluidity of your character.

I don't think things like these will ever happen if we don't get a real GTAO 2.0 where we start from scratch.

[AUScowboy]

I can't see Rockstar letting us transfer our stats and cash to Online 2. Especially with the modded ranks and billions. I don't mind starting over but I'd be disappointed if we don't get any of the dlc vehicles.

This, but I'll go farther, if i can't keep my car collection i'm out. I enjoy racing in online most, and would probably just keep playing this version until i get bored or the servers get shut (I tell myself i'll be done by then lol).

[dieseltech20]

 

 

Why would anyone want to play a new game where your progress is already completed?

Only the "Instant gratification" types that buy modded accounts would want it. Kids today don't like progression, they want it all NOW. Entitled little s***s will probably get what they want.

[Revoemag]

If there was a gtao 2 it would be a new city, therefore you would be moving to that city. I see us being able to keep our vehicles, but r* would have some in-game charge for vehicle exporting between cities. Something pricey that you'd have to drop a few shark cards to cover the cost.

 

Level, money, and vehicles should carry over.

[El-Gaddafii]

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.

For some reason I feel like this would be the most plausible solution. I would be in favor of keeping rank, it could serve as your 'reputation' online as it can easily distinguish some of the returning players, for those saying that it would defeat the purpose of starting a new game having evertything unlocked whats stopping rockstar from locking content via different jobs & activities (i.e heists) instead of level locking items.

 

I dont see them transferring money over for obvious reasons but heres where the dilemma lies. Many have mentioned modded accounts and this is why everyone should start new, but what about those loyal customers who possibly spent hundreds of dollars on shark cards only to have everything taken away? This could possibly lead to rockstar losing players.

 

Having said that though none of us hav even the slightest clue what the next GTA game will be like so we really cant say, how would it be possible to keep your character if rockstar overhauled their system to allow different heights, weights etc.

 

Time will tell...

[TovarishTony]

Next GTA Online installment should be better where modded money could be prevented thus allowing legit money to be shared to other players and friends that need a hand.

[ngazi]

Maybe a lot of people enjoyed or forgot what it's like to start the game and leveling to 100, but I'd rather not do that again.

 

I'm not against a reset but I don't want leveling, HP-level, or level-locks.

[Jassassino]

Pretty sure Rockstar themselves said they never intended GTAO to be permanent. So I expect a GTAO 2, yeah. It'd be stupid not to with a brand new game.
