Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 2)

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

I'm telling you guys, the "Hot Rods Update" is exactly what this game needs.

Will it appeal to everyone? No. Will it make a large portion of players happy? Yes.

Tuner guys need there thing too but I want Hot Rods more.

Doubt it.

 

It will end up like lowriders...most people just think they would like them.

 

Even bikers are becoming rare in freeroam now.

 

And no...i don't say they should NOT make such an update, even though i personally think hotrods are sh*tty bad looking vehicles, but i doubt many people would like them.

 

But yea...we could use 3 or 5 more of them.

I wrote something like this earlier in this thread, a retro america DLC would be really cool-

 

 

On topic: we mite get sum of dem cars 4 the next dee el see

[Dacelo]

Considering how much they force adversary modes down our throat, I don't think that's true at all.

Instanced missions - not PVP stuff. We'll always have instanced DMs, races etc. I think.

I just don't think Rockstar are going to add more ways to make money that other players can't f*ck up.

SecuroServ missions from the CEO computer. Those are instanced.

[Dacelo]

Yeah, that's kind of where I realised that I'm not 100% correct. Still, they're the first instanced missions since what, the original Lowriders? Which was over a year ago now.

Call me cynical but I just don't see Rockstar making much PVE content in future simply because it's easier to earn money with than freeroam stuff where the majority of sessions have a jet in the air.

[Collibosher]

I'm not saying that there has been an actual tuners update, but but just think how many cars there are, that can be made to look like tuners at Benny's or in LSC and then think how many hot rods there are and how many custom options they have. And this is not a driving simulation, but a game where certain 30's car is faster than many super cars, so they doesn't NEED to handle "bad" (as you kids are afraid)

Also, you guys never heard of street rods?

[Dacelo]

Why can't we have both? Why do hot rods have to be added at the expense of a tuners one?

I for one think that there's a distinct lack of both classes.

And thankfully so, those would be a pain in FR..

[Driver92]

I say we dont need a whole Hot Rod themed update but a nice T-Modell to customize ,a Chrysler whatsoeva and a 40 Willys "the typical hot rods the community is asking for".
and pack all this in a Car Collector DLC with some other awesome pieces of driveable art like the Classic Cheetah and Infernus and things , maybe finally a BF Club.

Just some iconic cars to own and customize

Yeah an idea that could happen would be to have a Tuners vs muscles dlc where you get Tuners and muscle cars(hot rods)

[Black-Dragon96]

 

This is the most important question we all want an answer to.

 

 

I'm a believer. I feel that Rockstar wants to preserve the same 8,000,000 weekly player base for the GTA Online. Therefore they must not tamper with the characters that we have spent hundreds of days of our lives playing as. Everyone would hate Rockstar if they forced us to be a RANK 1.

That brings me to my next point, This is the all mighty GRAND THEFT AUTO ONLINE. Practically bigger than the franchise itself. One size fits all, Not some tacked on GTA V Multiplayer. I hope you get what I mean. I just achieved RANK 1000 not too long ago. If I can't enjoy what I earned in the next installment then I will play V online. I think Rockstar will respect those who have played almost everyday for over three years. We as a community made them 3 Billion dollars richer so I think the least they can do is let us wear RANKS that represent us for all our dedication and years of playing. R* wants no roadblocks in their great plan to make more money off of us in the next GTA Online (GTA VI)

I would be devastated if I had to make a new character for VI Online.

 

If you're "returning player" in Online 2.0, you probably just get a special t-shirt or something...

 

I think the main problem is again those cheaters with modded accounts. If R* would let us keep our ranks, there would be 8000+ rank people on day one. Those people are gonna buy a modded account for last gen, then transfer to current gen and then transfer to GTA:O 2. And I think It's one less thing for R* to worry about, when they're trying to build a new anti cheat system.

 

But you probably didn't meant that we would get to keep our whole rank, but just some kind of head start?

Exclusive vehicles,clothing and maybe your current characters face is what I think we would get at best IF there's "returning player" possibility.

Although 3 years of blood, sweat and tears, I still wouldn't mind start from the scratch in the next installment, because I kinda feel that my character now has everything and I would like to work my way back on the top again in new city.

 

I don't play other online games, but does any other online games let you transfer your progression into next game?

I guess we just have to come up with some kind of back story why our character lost EVERYTHING, because I just see the transfer option really unlikely and I've always thought the whole point of GTA Online was "from rags to riches" (unlike in previous GTA online versions.)

I dont think that we will be able to keep everything that we have. That would not only be a bit pointless (returning player with rank 1000 everything instantly unlocked with millions in the bank) and also nearly damm impossible (every carmodel, clothing item and so on would have to be in the next game).

What i think we will (or better: should)be able to keep is our character modell.

 

For the returning player bonus: An idea would be that you keep your yacht (if you dont own one you get a small one) for the next game as a special savehouse or a you get a free private plane. Other players should still be able to buy them (i hate it when content is unobtainable for some people) but returning players would get them for free from the start.

This special item would be combined with a 1 Million $ headstart. That would atleast be a serious bonus for a returning player.

[Tomasrehy]

So, the R* F* went silent? Or what happened with him? Is he no longer posting any new info?

[RRrobin]

is better to start thinking about GTAO 2.0 , because map expansion would never come to GTA V o GTAO , why ?? simple player base split , no doubt that a map expansion will mean a HUGE undertaking both money wise and resource wise , and GTA V doesnt have that anymore. most of the personal working to make GTAV and GTAO were reasigned to other project and there is a smaller team working on GTAO DLC and in no way that team is able to make that massive project that is map expansion , plus R* doesnt want to invest the amount of money that it will take to make that map expansion (and it WILL take a lot of money to even port another map to GTA V and to make the standard quality that people expect from a HUGE R* game/dlc)

and if they split the player base betwen those who have the map expansion and tho who do not , people will start leaving behind the game cause those who do not have will have less content than those who do , and people will start moving on to newer games . GTA V is a awesome game but is an improved version of a last gen game.

so why would R* take that huge risk especially with RDR 2 coming 17/18 ?? is higly likely that RDR2 will have somekind of online component that will bring most of the PS4/XONE player base to that game and leave begin GTAO , only PC player base will remain.

i do think however that the DLC for GTAO will keep coming to around 1 year in the life of RDR2 , in wich time RDR2 gets or will be close to get a PC release.

 

but hey thats just a theory a gam....

My guess is still that we will simply get an expansion pack with new location(s) added to the current game and maybe make it all 4k.

The logic behind this is that pretty much everyone who is playing the game now will buy that new location instantly, whereas a lot of people would just wait and keep playing this version if an entire new version was to be released.

Everyone here, no matter what they say, will buy whatever is released. The majority of people playing aren't playing so much that they have seen and done everything, but they have played enough to be fed up with just this one island.

It's all about the people making them money, not the guys here.

The only reason I would see for making a complete new GTAO 2 is that they are seeing problems in adding future expansions and visual upgrades in the current version. If GTAO2 would be released, it would be made to last at least a decade.

Lol tuner car old school? I don't think you are thinking old enough. There aren't any import cars that fall under the Tuner category that are old school.

 

Pre-1974 is old school. Any imports that old aren't called Tuners, they are classics. When I say hot rods that is how old I am talking about.

 

Regardless, why can't Tuners and Hot Rods have separate, full updates? Bikers got one. Lowriders got two.

 

Yeah, they won't be for everyone. As far as I am concerned, catering to the masses is killing the game. More focused niche updates is what will improve the content quality imo. More like Bikers, Lowriders, Stunts, etc etc updates that cater to one specific group.

 

But that is all just my opinion, and I recognise that Updates will still probably be a mixed bag of cars and content more often than not. Just saying my thoughts.

The Hunter is not a Savage.

 

Welcome to the forum though. But please, do not make offensive comparisons suggesting I'm a Savage, Check out my thread if you want to realize what I (the Hunter) am.

Edited January 4, 2017 by Happy Hunter

[BrizeWatcher]

The Hunter is based on the Boeing AH-64 Apache (US), the Savage is based on the Mi-24 Hind (Russia)- see the difference?

[Happy Hunter]

To better answer your question though (I'd rather convert another person than alienate them) - well, these videos sum it up pretty well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How it looks, how it sounds, how it moves, etc. It can do rolls and flips. It can survive missiles, It can spam double rockets.

 

The Savage can't survive more than a few snow balls, is held back from doing flips and rolls thanks to auto-stabilization, is generally less maneuverable, and so on.

This. R* isn't going to base an entire dlc off of one specific car niche again. Low Riders, while loved by some, is widely seen as the least popular major dlc. Hopefully they'll add some classic muscle with lots of mods if they ever expand I/E like they did with E&OC and FAFF.. Edited January 4, 2017 by AUScowboy

They are two very different choppers. One is American, one is Russian. They're not comparable.

Pretty sure they dripfeed cause people then buy all the content instead of picking what they actually want.

But that doesnt make much sense. Wouldnt it be better for R* if people blow all their money even on stuff they dont want, increasing the chances of them having to buy a shark card

Thats exactly what I mean. Maybe I worded it wrong. But yeah, player X is waiting for the specter but get bored and buys each vehicle while waiting for the car they really want, and when it finally comes, they havr no money.

 

Also, players like me who are sitting on a bit of cash end up buy everything because we are starving for new stuff. I bought the new bike, which would not have happened if they released it all at once. Heck, I might not have bought a second Nero or second Elegy Retro.

I understand what you're saying now. It does make sense.

 

I guess the shark card conspiracy can go either way whether they dripfeed or not

By that logic, Tuner would be better. As more people would enjoy it rather than a bullsh*t hotrod update with cars that can't brake or turn for sh*t.

 

Yeah right, tuners sat on the bump stops and 10 degress of camber with tires stretched over the rims so much they pop off over bumps iin the road handle really well, don't they ?

 

Go look for Art Morrisons video of the 55 chevy chassis. Hot rods don't have to handle badly.
