How will we transition from GTA V Online to GTA VI Online?

[Jayfab]

I wonder what GTA will be like in 20 years when less people are driving cars by themselves and when cars may no longer be status symbols anyway. GTA in a world of self-driving shared cars. Dear R* Games of the year 2037, please, at least let us have our cars driven automatically from A to B so the Post-OP missions will not be so enraging anymore. And maybe even let us research and buy a delivery robot so we will not have to deliver anything by ourselves anymore.

The same way we transitioned from GTA IV to GTA V.

[BLACK DYNAM1TE]

GTA Online from my own speculation will be an continuity of GTA V's Los Santos with just added maps/cities.

 

As you see the rank goes to 8000, by no means legit could anyone possibly achieve this level by now, which gives clue that they are going to expand the game and your character for years to come. You'll transfer just as we did from Ps3/X360.

 

The other example is how you see most of GTA 4 multiplayer schematics have crossed over to GTA Online, has pretty much same set up minus personal vehicles and safehouses, and if anyone paid attention majority of the cars from the previous game has made into this rendition as well. So I expect every car we have now, plus original new ones and older cars/bikes they've yet to bring back (i.e. Clover, Double T custom drag).

 

As much money this game generated and currently holds the rank as number 1 game on the planet 4 years in a row, it's hard to believe they would scrap it all for a completely new game, instead of introducing GTA Online v2

 

Given the HD history most likely the next game will be set in modern Vice City, though as random as Rockstar can be the new GTA 6 may not even have online multi-player at all. And they just add San Ferrio and Las Venturas to GTAO and maybe storymode because Online is a standalone game that they can just continue to build onto, which may be easier than to introduce a Chicago-styled or Houston based city into the mix. The next GTA 6 could be based in the 1960s and that would be fine as it didn't play any part on GTAO if anyone follows what I'm trying to explain here.

 

So IF they do bring Vice City next, I see that coming into play with our current map, then followed finally by Liberty City.

You will get some extra t-shirts and discounts on select cars and weapons that will be useless anyway.

[FrugalDangerMan]

I feel you'll be able to xfer a character with maybe a 1 or 2mill one time only returning player bonus to give you a head start but all content will be left (ans still acceasable) in v online.

 

If the next game doesn't improve, I don't see myself transitioning to it at all.

What if that's the only place you can fly the Hunter?

Let's be real for a second. The GTA Online protagonist is a canon character and is as important to the franchise as Niko Bellic or Michael De Santa is. No protagonists have ever appeared as a playable character in the next game. Knowing that bit of info, why would the Online protagonist be any different? He wouldn't. There is no reason whatsoever for Rockstar to have the GTA VI Online character be the same as your GTA V Online one.

 

Also, you have to think about something else. Who's to say GTA VI will take place in the present? What if they go to the past? Then the Protagonist of GTA Online could not be the same character. There are so many factors that must be put into play for that to even happen! And our Protagonist is canonically a rich, criminal mastermind who is the Kingpin behind all drugs, arms, and vehicles trafficking that goes in and out of San Andreas. So what reason would he (the Protagonist is confirmed as male) have for doing another heist? He may be crazy, but he isn't going to risk it all over a simple million bucks.

Not quite. Claude is the protagonist of both gta2 and gta3. Gta 3, Vice City, and San Andreas are all chapters in one story, the Fall of the Forelli's. Not to mention the very first GTA had 8 characters and featured all three cities (albiet in one story) so that's where this idea of city-to-city travel started. I remember reading about Vice City in gamepro thinking "wouldn't it be cool if I could drive from Liberty to Vice! Or if they added planes i could fly, like a dodo with full wings!!" Not to mention the end of San Andreas, where you fly to liberty city. The original plan was to have full access to liberty but hardware limitations got in the way. Just a nitpick, but the online character doesnt count as a protagonist in my book because there is no story being told. All motivations and exposition are projected on the avatar by the player. Where's the climax? Who's the antagonist? I think the difference between GTA 5 and GTA 6 should be as significant as the change between GTA 3 and 4, with plenty of stuff in between IE several expansion packs that bring you new cities to go to use all your current toys. I agree that nobody should have their stuff right off the bat, but maybe pay for each item to be transferred to a new island and then its there until you pay to have it transferred back. I get your logic and it makes sense and all, but this would free up 6 to not even include online. It could be a dark gritty gta set in the 80s in Vice, capturing the feel of scarface and miami blues without being a cartoon parody of scarface. Just my thoughts

So long as I can give my chick bigger tits, I dont care how they do it :-)

Its all about the tits

I like the idea of the botched heist/prison escape. I look forward to starting over and having a reason to level up. I hope in the new game leveling up never stops mattering. Like even now I wish you could hold more snacks or armor or have any reason to still level up. Even at level 597. I wish there was a reason to get to 600 even if a small reason.

Ugh...i'd really like more rank unlocked content, but considering we do not have that...really, if we ever gonna be able to transfer our sh*t, they can have my rank 900 and just set it back at 135.

Reset it all but include something from each DLC into the new Online. I don't wanna wait three years for proper biker clothes (or bikes) once more. Otherwise, I'd like to see it get a fresh start. There's something special about every new GTA in their early days. I know I for one sure miss the early days of Online. Not the complete mess it is nowadays.

this.

 

the "peaceful early free froam days" are a myth.

 

sure people where doing more missions at the time,but that didn't make free roam less of a virtual death row then it is now.

 

back then people used old school methods for trolling such as killing people while they are shopping,camping the rooftops of LS customs,camping the most popular house/apartments etc. heck you could even kill players that where in passive mode at that time!

 

all rockstar did is making killing more easy but to say that in the early days people where more peaceful/less griefing is just a damn lie.

[EggsAndJam]

If gta is to be a different game then starting from scratch is the only way.

 

Any transferring of anything would just make 6 a sort of extension to 5. If that's how it's going to be, then where's the point of 6. Why not just keep updating and adding to 5...

There is a reason, you get a golden globe at level 750!!! Only 153 levels to go...

[Coleco]

looking forward to a new character creator. hopefully it gives us way more options

 

Next time we'll get to pick our grandparents too

[555-We-Tip]

No transition, I'm sure they will be too lazy to even make something which would explain a clean slate/transferred character.That said, I'd love for them to put the time in to make a final heist in LS which goes wrong and you must leave town fast. Leaving behind all cash, cars, properties, weapons, reputation etc. At best, you get to "escape" with a little money in your pocket (returning player bonus of $500k or whatever).A few years ago I would have said "If they make me start again for GTA Next I wont play it" (translated to I would play it but I'd complain). Now, not so much. I actually look forward to having to work up the ladder again, earn money and RP to get to the top. It would give reason to actually play it. Transferring the millions I'll likely have in the bank by then, stats and RP would shorten it's life a lot. Same sh*t different map and all that.Perhaps keep stats like strength, flying, driving, stealth and lung capacity but that's it, and keep the character (as in how you look).

This is a great idea.

GTA 5 gets GTA 6 as a DLC - a storymode, a new map, new cars.

 

GTA Online will remain the same, you will able to choosing between Vice City/San Fiero/Las Venturas Freeroam and Los Santos Freeroam, though.

[tommyguns]

IF - I play 6 online. I have concerns about how it will work. They have neglected PVE in the form of missions for quite a while, maybe they won't even put them in 6? I also expect pay outs to be lower, prices to be higher, all from the start. I also won't be happy losing some of my favorite cars, my Sterling GT, my DoD, Carbonizzare etc. Ditto for my buzzard.

 

With game series in general I think we will be waiting longer and longer between new titles, due to not so micro...transactions.

 

I also like the variety of the current map, I don't want to go back to one big sprawling city that takes up the whole map. So I would hope they have plenty of countryside outside of the city, and it wouldn't hurt if the whole map was bigger.

I never mentioned anything being "peaceful". But if you think about it; at least the early days didn't have jet griefers and other griefers' toys, i.e. not "the same complete mess" it is nowadays.

Only because people were ignorant of it though.

This game has been bad from the start.

[theNGclan]

Odds are the file formats will be different, including the system of how content is handled, such as saves. Converting formats over would be too much of a hassle.

 

i can pretty gauruntee you'll start fresh, you may get an ingame shirt or something for playing GTAO though.
