75 %....shame pc is so sh*t and rockstar is so bad....in any other case i sure would have bought a shark card for that kind of return.

 

But yea, they have been acting to corrupt the past years to deserve my money so f*ck that.

 

edit: that being said, my money is really on a 30 may update at even more now.

To all those holding out for a map expansion.. Would you not agree that R* ought to utilize the full potential of the current map first?

Why not both? They wouldnt have to abandon anything. They would just have 100% more land to utilize. I will be spending time in LS still, but more variety=more better.

 

Not going to happen, period. They will design a new map with a new game at a $59.99 price tag. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is only capable of thinking like a greedy consumer and not like a business man.

 

Talkin about adding LC, not a new map. Ur a troll btw. Dont waste my time with ur negativity ok cupcake. Ps welcome to my ignore list lol.

Are you under the impression they can just copy & paste a whole city from a last-gen game, tweak it a little bit, add a sprinkle of post processing & voila?

 

 

Yeah, pretty much. The odd tweak here and there and it's a goodun. It's on the exact same engine.

 

Newsflash. Rockstar did not write a whole new engine for V. It uses RAGE. Same as GTA IV or Red dead redemption. (or midnight club and even rockstar table tennis.)

 

A few lines in the config and boom Liberty City.

[RetroStyle]

Do they do newswire post on Fridays?

 

(this is such a noob question )

Im pretty sure newswire posts can be any day, except sat n sun. Dlc drops are usually tuesday, but iirc that has more to do with sony n ms, not necessarily r*.

Save up for a console. No modders yet. I used to be a pc gamer, but it became a headache to play online. Im too lazy to be bothered, so i just bought a console n keep it simple nowadays.

While not THAT simple, it is definitely possible for a Team like Rockstar. The map still holds up to GTA V's in many aspects, although it could use some higher quality textures, props and what not (something which I am sure they have).

But without new missions and activities it could get old real quick. Just the map wouldn't work.

[RetroStyle]

 

people throw the word troll around to anyone that doesnt share their same views and opinions...

 

sad!

Just like they use the term fanboy around if you don't hate the game.

 

I call anyone who likes the game an enthusiast. A fangoy imo is someone who refuses to believe theres any flaws, and insults ppl who disagree. In the end everyones opinion is just as important, but facts r facts. I consider you an enthusiast who is happy no matter what they get. Im close to that, but drip feeding tries my patience. Nevertheless I understand why r* implements it. Another deep thought by Jack Handey.

[Classique]

I think they should open up North Yankton in single player

There would be a huge floating island which contains of illusions and a lot of non-contact terrain. You're fully aware that North Yankton is mostly a place for cutscenes, right? Only two missions happen in North Yankton, and it's programmed that way. Trying to go "around" the mission objectives will have you flying through the map, unless the Mission didn't fail until then.

 

But regardless, it would be nice to have a sandbox snowy terrain somewhere.

[Piro]

So what are you guys expecting from Gunrunning when it comes to those "weaponized vehicles" and "high-powered military hardware"?

I'm predicting it will be a set of hm... lets call them "Special Pegasus Vehicles" for now.
Around 10 vehicles that we first unlock by doing missions (similar to those I/E mini-heists) and hopefully we can customize them (maybe with a website? just like we do with yachts)

So what would those be? Most common predictions so far:

- Hunter
- APC
- New Tank
- Sea Sparrow / Little Willie
- Classic Patriot
- Rustler plane
- something Madmaxy/post-apo

That's still not 10. Let's hear some more original ideas!

- Military hovercraft with guns
- Offroad madmax Beatle with mounted grenade launcher
- Ripsaw Tank from fast and furious ( 1 , 2 )
- AirWolf heli (nice addition after Ruiner2k/KITT).
- Plane with carpet bombs from SP (not to op. 1 bomb at a time & long reload speed)
- CV-22B Osprey (cuz it's a popular mod already)

and when it comes to guns? Well all I rly want is my little friend(+with grenade launcher ofc)

(and maybe some classic weapons like katana, flamethrower and stuff like that)

oh and going back to tanks - People always bring up this broken tank from the scrapyard

but no one even mentions this one:

EDIT:
and I want to point out that THIS is still a "military hardware" within gtas canon (with two human pilots inside). So what do you guys think? 30mills for UFO?

I agree. Modders already added the entire map to LS...For Free. If A multi billion dollar dev cant do at least a lil better its becuz they dont want to, not becuz they cant. If they did add it im sure they would add some basic stuff. I would buy it even if it was strictly the map. Most ppl just roam the map killin anyway. It would just be a change of scenary at least.

To all those holding out for a map expansion.. Would you not agree that R* ought to utilize the full potential of the current map first?

I whole heartedly agree, there's so much unused potential in Los Santos!

 

Maybe some Examples?

To me it is kinda boring if RS releases more and more new vehicles for driving them on the same old streets or new missions on the same old ground. This game lacks something new and fresh, which can be explored and discovered.

 

 

Look at how many interiors they could open. Hundreds of them.

 

What about the water? Look how vast that is. You could have armed boats, more underwater exploring, deep sea fishing.

 

Look at all the businesses they could open that we could own with missions. The vineyard. All the bars/night clubs. I could go on and on.

 

I estimate that as much as 90-95% of the map is background decoration. Trust me, I think a new map to explore would be awesome, but it is not accurate to say the current one has been exhausted.

I hope they add more spaces to the SV warehouse by way of removing those pump engines or whatever they are. I would rather that than having a separate space for whatever new SVs are added. Maybe it will be a combination of that (for SVs) and a new style warehouse (bunker or hangar) that would house a few gunrunning specific SVs (slamvan? dune buggy? heli?). And definitely believe we will have a more complex gunsafe style addition to the new property like maybe a work bench where you can add/remove owned attachments and tints. Is it really unlikely they add dual wielding? Also, how'bout a briefcase with an uzi mounted inside, or a guitar case gun? How'bout some cosmetic vehicle mods like guns in the trunk (like the sub speakers and hydro tanks) or gun racks for the rear window (like lowrider plaques) or center console shotguns like in police cruisers???

[Commander S]

Not to mention the fact that opening up new interiors would just require coming up with new (or 'recycled from single-player' ) textures and whatnot for those areas of the map.

Meanwhile, map expansion - even re-using Liberty City from IV - would require a massive rework of every square inch. Not to mention adding GTA V's functionality to it - updating things like ATMs, swapping out pay-and-sprays for LSC-style garages, and then populating it with enough races/stunt races/deathmatches/etc. to give people something to actually do there, just to bring it up to a level comparable to ...not even as good as GTAO's LS in 2013 (imagine fewer activities, no contact missions, etc.).

Liberty City would just be a whole lot of work for very little payoff, IMO - meanwhile, R* could open up Los Santos more, and add all-new features to keep the game fresh, instead of putting the same amount of time into making a less-playable second map.

Ok here's some examples of how Los Santos has untapped potential, the key is interactivity.

• Wildlife addition with hunting challenges similar to Red Dead and Trevor's deer hunting by requiring certain tools to go hunting
• Casino DLC where players can associate themselves with management to do missions and earn Casino Chips to play Minigames or cash out, perhaps after a Casino Heist
• Heists 2.o which could possibly be staged during free roam where players have to plan and execute the heists combating AI and other players, potentially allow non-heist-players part of an organization the opportunity to seize the fruits of others labor
• Nightlife DLC opening up another strip club, Bahama Mamas West, Tequi La La, Comedy Club and other establishments with missions, Minigames like karaoke and dancing
• Thuglife DLC allow players to compete against established gangs like Ballas, Grove St Fam and Vagos doing missions like driveby's, hydraulic dance offs, and more progression with Lamar and Benny's story
• New Freeroam events like: underwater treasure hunting (amongst the wildlife) with harpoon gun a bigger 2 person submersible to harvest larger treasure, or have the ability to hold-up small Fleeca branches, crack liquor/conveneint store safes, or even random NPC events bringing more dynamic NPC interaction
• Del Perro Pier Minigames and interactivity opening up FreeFall ride, carnie booths with Minigames like shooting a water gun at targets, wackamole, arcade machines, street vendors, other shops on the beach, weight lifting, volleyball, basketball etc
• Alien Invasion Mode similar to Zombie Horde survival in a Red Dead pitting players in a game mode combating aliens beaming down from space ships to try and save Los Santos

I have other ideas also that's just the tip of the iceberg, and obviously opening up SP and other interiors that already exist.

I am just the opposite, love owning as many buildings as possible. For those on a budget, I get it though. This is the reason I am hoping GR is something entirely all its own.

[theNGclan]

I like how a bunch of people here are claiming LC would work, but haven't even tried making maps for the game, let alone take the time to understand the map manager.

[Rockstar_Fanboy]

 

 

 

 

 

-playable second map.

 

Commander, it isn't even just that. The people that want LC or something else opened up, they don't just want a map they can explore, but things to interact and do in the new map.

 

In other words, they essentially want a whole new game. And when RS does that, they will charge $59.99 for that and call it GTA VI.

my vote for gunrunning is for late may so i say, short weekend event with 2X on everything ceo that goes from friday til monday with tuesday release.

 

no trailer, no announcement!

[Commander S]

I've been playing it recently (backwards-compatibility sale on Xbone - aw, yiss...), and it's staggering just how densely-packed LC is. Even if R* just put it out as a barren, featureless scenery pack for people to explore for nostalgia purposes/creative projects, there's still a ridiculous amount of work needed simply to give it the makeover needed to match current-gen GTA V.

 

After all, it'd need to hold up on PC in 4K - it'd be easier to do a 1080p remaster of GTA IV, and not have to worry about updating the functionality to match GTA V. And that's still no small task, and debatable if it's really worth R*'s while, when that's time, manpower and resources that could be spent on something new.

Nothing will ever hook me to a console ever.

 

Even if script kids somehow delete both characters and cockstar is to incompetent, i will just keep raging on about it here while just playing an other game and waiting for cockstar to stop fighting script kids, get myself a mod menu and have some unlimited fun.

[Mattcarnes]

So what do you think the grind method will be for gun running I know we got harvest and bake for bikes stash and sell for crates and steal flip and sell for CEO cars so what do you think it may be take and mod guns

[RetroStyle]

I like how a bunch of people here are claiming LC would work, but haven't even tried making maps for the game, let alone take the time to understand the map manager.

Since modders already did it in their spare time for free........The 4k thing for pc ppl would be the biggest hurdle imo, but no hill for a highstepper. They went through the hassle of making a limited map just for a cpl sp missions, and a fully detailed Aircraft Carrier for a Mission and a cpl am's. Skyrim had a map expansion, and bethesda is no where as big as r*. U make it sound like r* is just 6 amateur programmers tryin to pull off a miracle. Whether they want to or not is a different story altogether.

Yeah, everyone completely ignore the fact that a group of modders already added it... but a professional team of developers with practically unlimited resources doing it? Impossible.

Who said impossible? This is what often happens here...a point is made, then someone responds to an extreme point that wasn't made.

 

Could RS do it? Sure. Does it make economic sense to do it as part of a DLC (i.e. you don't charge full game price)? Absolutely not.

I'd pay for a map add on. Would be better to spend $60 on that rather than 3 Sharks cards that give you barely any money.

[riotvision]

I do NOT think a map expansion would be free. I WOULD happily pay $60 for LC. I'd pay $120 for LV/SF.
