But you cannot deny that that falls directly in line with what R* does with its updates. We dont control sh*t, we are just a dogsbody and financier.

Securoserve runs our Offices and I/E Warehouses. We are just an employee who does as we are told. Agent 14 runs our Bunkers, we just make guns that sells for a hundred times what he pays us. Ron runs the Hangers etc. 

The first announcement says “run your nighrclub.”

That, and the last several updates all had you buy a property to start the new business.

 

so I don’t see it.

Really hope this is the case.

 

A constant source of money to be generated, with possibly some way of generating more 'lump sums' with a cooldown, maybe host a big event where you'd have to source supplies, promote and arrange a DJ, bouncers etc which would then turn a big profit.

 

Imagine this:

 

You pay out/aquire the following:

• Drinks - £10,000 - £30,000 (more drinks = better profit, and more chance of a successful night)
• Security - £2000 £10,000  (more security = less chance of trouble)
• DJ - £5000-£50,000 (better DJ = better chance of a more successful night)
• Set a door price per entry - there could be a sweet spot based on your clubs "success/popularity" that would either bring in a big profit or scare away potential clubbers

 

Once you've done all your outlaying and set up, you let the event run (you can walk around in the club at the time and maybe even get a cash bonus for each player who comes into your club) and then at the end you get to see how much you made overall (money made could show at the bottom similar to heists, and go from a red minus figure (of your costs) to a green figure which would be your profit).

 

Each time you host an event your clubs reputation could go up or down

This is my hope as to how it will work

They also claim you "run an Arms Empire" of something along the lines. Not discounting anything but don't look at what they write but what they do. Every business has been a reskin of the same old formula, a formula that my theory fits into.

But this is different.  Here you don’t like the mechanics of how it is run, but you still own the bunker.  I mean, “own” in a GTA sense that it is a shared property that others also can “own.”  They have a model that has an entry barrier cost and I don’t see them going away from that here.

I know I'm gonna sound like a Negative Nancy here, but what ways will r* tell other players to mess up someone's business this time?

 

"Organisation has launched a concert! Destroy it. Destroy destroy destroy for 100 rp and I dunno... 2000 moneys or something. BEEP BLEEEEP" and then the map becomes red and screams at you to destroy others fun.

I've thought about this as well. If they implement this then at least it's gonna be chaotic at a whole nother level, and I love chaos.

I own the bunker.  I have a bed in there, my clothes, a gun locker. It is mine.

I can see it now Tuesday morning, half hour into browing the new content...… Vehicles.

 

take a little drive in one of the cars, then the moaning and complaining will start.

 

 

THIS CAR IS BROKEN..... LOL

Its usually..Hype-> Foxy snaps content reveal -> Oohs and aahs from the car reveal -> Update release ->Console fight as who gets the first release -> Check the prices -> Moan a bit on the pricing of the nightclubs and vehicles about how ridiculous pricing is -> Posts on how R* is still supporting the game -> Contents are free only posts -> Then car buys -> Then issues related to car broken..

 

The golden rule of any R* DLC release...

It also says " get in on the ground level as a business partner."  Business partner is an interestingly specific phrase here.  That makes you sound like an investor and co-owner, not an outright owner unto yourself. 

 

I suspect you'll still be "buying" the night club, but what you may be buying is a basement level with vehicle storage and a place to run your business, while the nightclub above is an open-to-the-public place that anyone can enter (or maybe only your fellow investors in that particular club, plus people they invite in, can enter).  Imagine something like the existing strip club with a blue halo in the back that takes you into an apartment underground that you own - that is what I mean.

 

Don't know that it WILL work this way, but I can imagine it based on their wording.  And it actually solves a couple of small problems and makes the nightclubs themselves work a little better, IMO.  If the nightclubs are just like private properties where it's just you, a bunch of NPCs, and people you invite in, that actually seems a little lame to me.  I'd rather have them be open meet-up places like the strip club.  And people have been wondering all along how Bahama Mamas would fit into this since it's already got a single, non-instanced interior - well, this might be how. The only thing is, they'd need to have totally enforced non-violence inside the club for this to work at all. No weapons whatsoever or people would just slaughter everyone in there nonstop.

Yea, I noticed that too. Good point.

This is the jam I want playing in me club!

@Nutduster

 

Luis was supposed to be Tony's "business partner" as well but all he ended up as was hired muscle. I have a feeling if they want to stick with the true Gay Tony he will twist you into this role as well.

[Lonely-Martin]

So much makes sense in ways, but if I have to choose between safer, more profitable, and fun business and PV storage, I'll be pissed!

 

Don't do it R*

Don't even think it.

Yes, but wasn’t Ron “our business partner” in SR?  Yet, we owned the hangar.  I think people are confusing game mechanics with building ownership.  We will own buildings that house the nightclubs.  Guarantee it Jimbo.

That doesn’t make sense because they can charge you for everything they put in the game.  So either or propositions means less in game cash spent.

Yep!

 

And keep on charging us if we chop and change. Just like a car collector has been for the last fair while, lol.

 

I get ya though. Hopefully your spot on and all is gold though.

I really hope it won't be something like paying for drinks, dj, security, hosts and things like that to create parties and earn "clean" incomes. I don't want Party Simulator, gosh it's still GTA even if we lost the focus thanks to flying bikes and time machines.

Looking at the stock room in the trailer I'd say we're either able to run all businesses from the club and deliver back there or our cargo/stock is somehow moved their from existing businesses.

 

The second sounds more grindy, so I'm going with that.

So you get the opportunity to delivery Biker product from the city to Paleto Bay instead of from your business in the middle of the map? I can see that being popular.

[White Shark]

I think this image confirms it a little more that backpacks may be a thing, as this looks like a player and not an NPC!

I mean, I'm being pessimistic (username checks out), but the club stock room has various different business stock in it, that can only get there if we source it from the club and deliver it back there or if we source it from an individual business and via some method it is delivered there or it's "sold" to there.

 

Then there is the question of how it generates money through the club, is it "sold" to the club via a sale mission from an individual business to then generate passive income or do we have to do a traditional sale delivery from the club. 

 

I don't know, but there are only so many ways R* can have us go about it.

[judge dread 24]

Can we sell stuff we dont need please ? I have a yacht i dont use. If things gathered dust in this game and things were too rust. Then my yacht would be black with dust and its anchor would be close to snapping. R* please can you buy it back please then i will have more money. 

[Bandersnatch]

Nice !

Am I mistaken or is that a player on the back of a motorcycle someone else is driving? This could be a mission-specific thing, like the bags in the Pac Standard finale.

Who's driving the truck? Why are we chasing the bike? It may be mission specific, but nothing confirmed.

Yeah, just speculating. I remember people getting their hopes up about the magnet 'Bob in the Fleeca Heist, until we found out it was just for that mission.  Rockstar definitely will add things just for jobs or miscellaneous other purposes, so we should all keep that in mind when poring over a trailer.  Just because we see a blimp and a backpack doesn't mean we'll have free, constant access to either.

If R* have a sense of humour they'd offer the blimp at Elitas for the price of a yacht. All the playboy kudos, but no defenses. Same as the gold Luxor and Swift.
