Fun-fact; They've only mentioned it twice (IIRC), both times in the face of negative news.

Yea but it’s still odd to even mention it once without some kind of actual reveal to get people hyped. It’s unusual in game marketing to be like ‘oh btw we’re working on the sequel to X’ without some kind of logo or trailer or something to go with it.

Since espionage and investigations are the theme of the DLC, it better have some special equipment with the usual refineries & all.

 

(Perfect candidate for Imani's remote control unit.)

 

 

(Preferably with enough mods to turn it into the Callum Vanquish 25.)

 

Most importantly, I want proper suits with matching colors. The black ones we currently have are a disgrace.

There's no pinned tweet yet so they most likely have an article ready already or something, but remains to be seen whether it's for today or next week. I'm betting on next week as there's no bonuses and they're probably gonna detail the DLC then.

My guess would be a Newswire article on the 14th with a Headline "play on the 19th" with even more info about the DLC and maybe even more info about the balancing aspects of the DLC. Ideal name for the DLC: GTA:Online - The Community Update / Quality of Life DLC

Probably an indication that support for current gen consoles is close to the end. 1-2 more updates and it’ll be next-gen only thenceforth

Ah yeah definitely, the end for Old Gen Console content is near unfortunately.

Not when a self-earned negative public image, between a consumer movement and a remake of the games that made you who you are today which was so bad it's there with the likes of Sonic '06, Halo MCC, Aliens Colonial Marines. A public image so negative it's invalidating profit, with investors selling your publishers stock. That no doubt resulted in a very brief and extremely angry telephone call from T2 ordering R* to fix that - of course, while spending as little money as possible; writing some words online that says you're working on the years long requested next title? Costs nothing but overheads.

 

I know there's major investment planned for 2024 which screams marketing, which would likely mean a title launch, but...

Spoiler

I'm so cynical I'm legitimately half ready for an Anthem situation with GTA6;

 

EA: Okay, six years of investment, what money-making live service have you got for us?

BioWare Management: .... uh.... we've not finalised pre-dev.

EA: You have 12 months to save your careers.

 

[fast forward to E3 reveal]

 

Fans: That's the game? Oh sh*t!

Devs: Oh sh*t! That's the game!

 

I wanna stress - I'm not B&M'ing here, more just enjoying the chaos.

That is from the VanillaWorks people (it's a mod). I have no idea why or where he has the idea that vehicle is in the files.

This is the end of GTAO's life, the game will become more and more generous, they will "listen" to the players more often. I give GTAO 2 more years of updates before GTA6 comes out (so 4 big updates?). The changes on the Oppressor MK2 have been requested since its release, several years ago now, in absolutely no reality they only realized the problem now. The same goes for the sales in public sessions only.

 

That's how I see it regarding these changes that seem to be very much appreciated by everyone. The only change that I find a little too generous is to increase the payouts for heist. They may have realized their own inflation, who knows. Again, when the game is at the end of its life...it's convenient.

 

Overall it's a cool change, I'm far from being bitter. I can finally enjoy my biker business and use the control center in my arcade !

Precisely what I think too, GTA VI is speculated to be next year after all

 

Of course Cayo Perico could also be a reason, it's highly popular and recommended that players get a sub asap

People sh*t on the businesses(For good reason, MC sell missions SUCK!) and the payouts are too small for time consuming crap. I still maintain my Bunker and Nightclub since they're easy to maintain, Nightclub is super casual while I simply supply/sell and repeat for the Bunker. No sense bothering with supply missions unless you're going for the tattoo. 

 

But man do I wish this was a thing when I was grinding the 1,000 crate trophy lol

[Edward85]

looks like they are reusing some of the scrapped "C&C" update with the IAA stuff, let's hope this means we can finally have police vehicles. also who says there won't be a new property and that this will be a small LSSS sized update? this was only a tease

[Kernel]

If this update means I can finally barricade myself inside my Hangar in a private, invite-only lobby, in order to source and sell my silly little crates in my silly little planes doing the silly little missions I hold so close to my heart, it's gonna be the best update for me yet.

[Watain]

Been outta the loop both here and in GTA since the week or so after The Contract dropped. Looking forward to a new update and the changes they disclosed yesterday sound very promising.

 

I just don't hope they save all the cool cars for new gen and that "+" thingie they're doing nowadays. Would be cool if they added new clothing themed to these old business types, e.g. new biker clothes.

[theguy1998]

PC is always "next-gen" so yeah. It's just... Weird that PS4/XONE are already having issues with a 9 year old game, really shocking, i still remember when PS3/X360 were having render issues, huge fps drops, stuff like that, then people were surprised with how nice the graphics were on PS4 and now, we're saying goodbye to PS4.

how in the everlov-

nvm, it's r*, of course they find a way to map a texture diagonally...

 

I guess mismatched wheeloffsets, missing parts, candle headlights, etc. are enough...

They had to find something new

 

 

next thing you know, the whole car is actually not even straight

Officially no. But the GTA+ bonuses end on July 19 and so does this new event "week". So that's likely the date.

 

Announcement likely next week.

nice

Do y’all think we may receive anything today or just wait until next week?

I wouldn't be surprised to have a rapid follow-up on yesterdays "announcement" (if you call it that?). They have done weird things like that before. When the dead body washed-up on the beaches for Cayo Perico they announced it like a day or so after. The speculation had barely started in the forums at that point, let alone in the general public. Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if they keep quiet about it until the day of release...

I really hope they stop using 2013 interiors for the new Cars bruh...My poor jubilee has dark tinted Windows to hide that, similar to My landstalker xl. 

The new lambo Will probably have a reused interior like the fmj.

They did so good with the new pfister interior, the gauntlet Classic and the new Granger, idk what they can do that for most of the vehicles...

Welp, they might... I mean, they've f*cked up the exhaust fumes/backfire of the Warrener pickup thing in one of the promo screenshots, but they did fix it in the release, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Atleast it's better than the awful interior used in the FMJ and the Novak... God I hate that one

FMJ interior feels bland and cheap plastic fantastic, X80 interior are straight up lazy. But lets be honest, all those 2016 interiors already showing its age. Rockstar needs to create new supercar interior, they did new interior for SUV (Granger 3600LX) and Comet S2.

Let's hope we can keep the IAA identification thing as buyable clothing item. The outifts from casino heist under the group "fib suits" it was just normal suits that didn't had the thing, which made them lose the meaning of "fib outfits".

If you save the Outfit while it has the IAA identification badge, it stays on the outfit. At least I have it on.

If Rockstar actually has a properly functioning brain for once then I'm sure the IAA ID will be unlocked in your wardrobe either upon starting the mission line or finishing it. I bet it'd be in the chain or necklace section for accesories.

 

That's thinking as someone with the average colombian IQ, which as we all know, is more than the collective IQ at Rockstar.
