GTA Online: After Hours Coming July 24

[Rhoda]

Boy, do I love hiding cringe. Removed some of the more off-topic jiggery pokery. Carry on, providing it's actually about nightclubs.

Will we be allowed to do kareoke into our mics at the night clubs ?

I speculated the Loudhailer is coming for sh*ts and giggles. Fact is, no one knows.

Okay, I see your point now !

Thanks.

 

 

I agree with the fact that suddenly finishing the construction work up there will put quite a mess, and old players (like me, like you too, and like a looooot of players) will be a huge change and the break of some habits.

 

 

.....but I would definitely enjoy a whole new building to explore and a totally new addition to LS skyline !

[BritneySpearsThePopGuy]

I hope we make our own play lists !

my club will only play Britney Spears and Fergie , the same two songs over and over on repeat

Lately R* have been favoring the use of underground properties. Probably due to it's minimal impact on adding any large infrastructure to the map destroying it's balance. And at the same time enabling them to create a plausible massive working space within the properties. 

 

So maybe some or most of the club location we could choose from might use the same formula and have like a small entrance that leads down to a large multi-story underground club interior and business work space.

Tracy has hair physics in story mode ! Why can’t we !!

Clipping.

Rexx is correct - at least, that's why R* hasn't done it, though, and not why they couldn't. There are other games with far less sophisticated character models that take a much more 'f*** it!' approach to clipping and clothing/hair physics, because in practice, it's barely noticeable. Even something as recent and as polished as Monster Hunter World hand-waves a degree of clipping, because otherwise that'd preclude nearly every possible weapon animation in the game.

 

I mean, totally unrealistic expectation, but considering R* is going with a third-party hair/fur/feathers engine (Ornatrix - think Tomb Raider and TressFX, only better!) for RDR2, it'd be nice if they managed to graft some of that on to GTAO. At the very least, though, it's going to open up a whole lot of possibilities for Red Dead Online, and bodes really well for the next incarnation of GTA/Online...

Another way to do this would be going the way of the MC Clubs, and use one or two generic large hall interiors, one-size-that-does-not-quite-fit-but-anyway, and just slap entrance markers to selected large, un-accessible buildings, like warehouses, the shopping malls, or even prominent buildings like the Arena or the Casino complex, add some more club-goer NPCs to the exterior for atmosphere, done.

 

(and the churches, sorry, it's just a private fad of mine, couldn't resist adding again)

Yeah, this is most likely - same as with vehicle warehouses, too. And considering there's almost certainly going to be some kind of new garage storage coming for the new larger vehicles, I'd expect things around Downtown LS or La Mesa, where there are still unused buildings with regular doors and big garage doors (one as the entrance to the club underground, the other as the door for the vehicle garage/bay/whatever).

Yeah. 

 

There are lots of parts of the map with a pub/dance/bar/whatever-party-and-alcohol oriented look. 

Just walk down the Vinewood streets, and you’ll find lots of. 

 

And also, imagine some kind of hidden place, like the back entrance of this strip club, in GTA 3, in the early stages of the game ...

LS streets are full of small doorways like that.

 

 

definitely easier than than finishing a skyscraper

Sorry but this is far from the truth, compare the SP map to the MP map, pretty much all appartement buildings (im talking about what you can see from outside) have gotten updated over the years

Drove by the 'You Tool' market (that complex between Sonora National Park and Freeway) yesterday and thought "Hmmmm… "; could be a nice club/headquarter style location, too.

I hope they see fit to increase hangar storage with this update.

Such as? I'm only aware of for sale signs being added.

For example each 'hallway' has gotten an interiour, where in sp its just flat sides with textures, in mp the lobby's of virtually each appartment building are 3d.

I know its not a massive alteration, but it is one nonetheless.

Rockstar could re-purpose the 'Sing in the shower' to earn RP mechanic... or more likely the 'Scream into your mic' from the rollercoaster (substitute scream with squeak, as necessary). 

 

But to be honest, I don't see that being added. Maybe a DDR-style minigame but probably not voice / tone-recognised karaoke. 

[Dr.Rosenthal]

It’s probably been mentioned already and sorry in that case, but surely another reason why the map doesn’t get too many or too substantial alterations is that there are millions of jobs/missions/races that might be affected by that in ways that can’t possibly be foreseen.

 

Not that I wouldn’t like more/bigger map updates.

The characters from Candle Cove would all have really high RP from this feature.

That said, facilities and bunkers don't show up in things like contact missions (thankfully!), so that's not always an issue.

 

I wouldn't mind something milder for clubs, though, like what R* did with Benny's (or not even). A neon sign with 'club downstairs' added to any existing building that gets turned into a nightclub? Yeah, that'd be cool.

The bunker and facility entrances are just props aren't they? So they can't add props to the building to finish it. The map should stay as it is. If it made sense to complete construction, it would also have to make sense to start a new building, where does it end?

The bridge to north san andreas xD

 

Well one can dream. At this point I've given up hope on that

[senn]

I'd seen the threads and comments about lack of female clothing for clubs/bars etc, didn't think there was much too it. (I play with a female character, usually just jeans and a tank top) When I went to actually try make something I'd expect to see out on the town, I can completely see their point. Makes me miss the amount of customization in SR3 and SR4 for characters a little...

Actually they can do both
yes, facility and bunker - those are just props. But the whole map is made from chunks and those been edited before. For example  Mt.Chiliad top, Benny's Custom shop.

But knowing R* if they want to create new interior they will just pick another building cause thats way easier.

If you're talking about the interior they're panning around in at the beginning of the video, it's Madrazo's ranch, La Fuente Blanca. It has an extremely detailed interior that is only seen during a single mission cutscene in story mode.

Genuinely, and I've got mixed feelings here, lol. I mean, we've got the showers we can sing in for RP, lol. And we know some just love to prattle on through their mics too.

 

This is R* too, and they must know that'd wind a few folks up, they like a laugh with us it seems. Could very well be the next thing folks start to gripe over too, lol.

 

Ahh, ninja'd by @Hazzardtohimself, lol.

[Drip God]

Will we be able to buy more than 1 nightclub? I would love to own 3 different club locations,maybe 2 in the city and 1 up in paleto bay

[Lameboy]

I'm thinking about who will be our contact for these nightlife activities. Usually it's always someone we know from SP. I doubt it will be anyone from TBOGT. In gta v the only main character we know that actually runs a joint - strip club is Trevor. It would be fun to get the clubs mission from him, however in the setting of gtao 6 months before gta 5 he's still doing crack in his trailer so who knows. What are your types for our mission contact for the nightlife update?
