Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

[KingBen]

 

 

Agreed but idk rockstar is sometimes weird.. we have gotten updates on Thursday before... I think they have always been small ones but still dlcs

Yeah any update that came any day other than Tuesday was a small DLC. This DLC is clearly going to be big.

Nah next dlc big gunrunning

 

Confirmed by rockstar fa**ot said next dlc will be gunrunning

if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me

[CarimboHanky]

Nothing will ever hook me to a console ever.

 

 

b...but if you had no issues being hooked to the ps3 while we did 2X heist back on 2015, dont let the masterrace koolaid get to your head.

[no_snacks]

As much as the lack of information from R* and the lack of credible leaks from others is kinda frustrating, I'm actually looking forward to discovering what we're going to (and not going to) get for once. Knowing what's coming beforehand is cool and all, but having it all as a surprise is a welcome treat this time around.

 

I'm expecting a good mix of Military and DIY vehicles, plus a few new weapons and/or mods for them will be nice too.

 

I also hope a certain someone gets their certain something in this update too. (at least just to shut them up for a while ), but I think it will be a good addition to the current crop of aircraft and may provide a little more "balance" in the sky without being too OP against ground players.

 

Either way, it's been fun coming here every few hours to catch up on the latest arguments and insults between leak-thirsty, frustrated members. Helped make the days go quicker, but hopefully we don't have to wait much longer.

 

May 30th is my guess. Not fussed if we get a trailer or not, but it seems a bit pointless releasing one on the same day as the update, but I suppose they're just trying to capture the players who aren't glued to this forum.

Anyone seriously expecting a map expansion is taking the speculation way too far! And saying it's a worthy topic because it can't be disproved is like saying we should all be worshipping baby Jesus right now

 

Presuming it would actually be a viable (ie devs say it's easy and marketing says it's worth it) option for R*, I don't think they'd want to risk splitting up the player base. Imagine 6 months after LC was released, most players would've decided which map they prefer and probably spend 99% of their time there. Add RDR2 in the mix and the GTAO player base would be further diluted

To be fair, he did rise again: http://gtaforums.com/user/1088594-jesus-chrlst/

 

But yeah, I don't think we'll be getting a map expansion. Way too far into the game's life for that in my opinion. Its been so long, they kind of may as well wait until GTA VI for it I think.

[ash-274]

 

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?

Looks at the Be Lucky Casino in Vinewood.... so is that building just made out of cardboard or what because it has no depth or reason to be in the map in its current state.

 

I am not going to discuss the casino with everyone here again, I do want a map expansion but yes there are many assets in Los Santos that are not realized to their full potential.

 

 

Actually, that used to be a great building to wallbreach and attack NPCs with (and some **** that wanted to be a **** and tried to spoil our fun in a pre-nerfed tank. He was very sorry)

Im not "expecting" anything from r* other than gunrunning. But since this is the speculation topic and a new map is doable, lets agree to disagree. They dont care about spliting the players or there wouldn't be multiple lobbies (regular, freeaim, and badsport). R* only cares about what makes $. A map expansion would move units and boost microtransactions, plain n simple. The kids who cant afford $20 for a map expansion cant afford next gen, or sharkcards either, so r* doesnt care about their opinion. Also to clarify when i say LC added I mean going to the Airport, 5 min of flying animations to hide the loading screen, then landing in LC airport. Not an addition to the current map. That would feel weird imo if LC "sprouted" out of the sea. Also the man responsible for gtao (The Benz) said it was their goal to add cities to gtao as time went by. He said they built the map to be changeable, and he was referring to old gen. They've already done that numerous times. Stilt apartments on the surface, steps added to wharehouses, tons of interiors added under the map, offices, etc. We've had tons of small map expansions already. A city to visit was thought of before the game dropped. He said they could create entire continents if needed. Hes no longer with r* becuz of houser greed, but he knows more about the game than some ppl on a forum.

If they ever do a map expansion, I can't imagine R* not taking the opportunity at hand to combine the two maps. I would definitely bet my money that they would make some kind of work mode which connects the two maps. Let's say CEO work or whatever, something new that means you have to make transportations from city to city, or something along those lines.

 

But then again, I think a large amount of the players would migrate to the new city simply because Los Santos is almost four years over and done by now. There's a reason people are eager for a map expansion, and that means R* has the opportunity to make some more dough.

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.

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.

 

But let's disregard that the map is currently unreleased (infact, we don't even know if it works all that well) - and that it's placed in a geographically inaccurate location. The OpenIV team has done some neat stuff, but the main thing about LC is that a LOT more work goes into creating / porting a location.

 

So let's say Liberty City is brought to Grand Theft Auto Online. Here's a list of things it would require:

1. Higher quality textures - This shouldn't take too long for such a long company. I'd imagine they still have the source photos laying around too.
2. New pedestrians - The general population of Liberty City would have to be recreated, considering you're not going to see people dress exactly like people in Los Santos.
3. Navigation paths - This is extremely time consuming and takes a long time for modders and Rockstar alike. The modding scene hasn't even cracked this for V... yet.
4. New interiors - Well, namely apartments, which would most likely need to be new.
5. New scenario locations - Pedestrians have determined scenario zones. This includes smoking weed, waiting for a bus, sleeping in an alley way. So on, so forth.
6. New jobs - Liberty City would be pretty much pointless if there wasn't anything to do there besides tear it up in freemode.
7. Adapting it to support gangs (Orgs/MC/Etc) - We'd need warehouses, biker businesses, bunkers, etc. This also includes freemode missions and events.
8. Radio - You're not going to be hearing the exact same radio stations from Los Santos in Liberty City. So new song rights would have to be purchased, DJs would have to be voiced, tons of audio table entries for music. Perhaps even unique score that fits LC, considering Los Santos and Blaine County have different score.

No let's say they do happen to make this - we're introduced to the issue of getting to LC, meanwhile trying to keep sessions consistent. Sessions are already separated by your aiming preference, so making LC (or any other map) it's own filter for sessions would be even more redundant and split up lobbies further. To rhemedy this, they could place LC in a proper geographical spot, but that would likely be beyond the map bounds that GTA V / GTA O supports. They could extend this, but Rockstar is notorious for cutting corners. The end result would be sloppy to say the least.

 

So no. It's not happening right now, and it will not happen. People like you try to pull the "but Rockstar is makes the game so they should be able to do it". They could do it, but the real question is, how broken would it be? Quit getting your hopes up.

I could see this happening sometime in the future but at the same time can't

Maybe, Maybe not

You've got a good point tho Retrostyle

 

Tbh all I can think of in terms of what I want right now is Choker necklaces added in the Gunrunning DLC since we know Gunrunning is happening

In all fairness though, R* isn't really the most talkative company when it comes to letting their fans/customers in on their projects in development. How knows? Maybe they have been working on some kind of map expansion for a long time. I think the question rather is: are they still doing it, or did they abandon any such plans at some point? My guess would lean towards the latter, just like with the supposed story mode DLC that never materialized.

Nobody said it was gonna be easy, but neither was designing an Aircraft Carrier from scratch for one heist mission. The bottom line is that if Danny says do it, it will happen. Also they could use the gta4 songs on the radio. It really just boils down to the market analysts and accountants. If its gonna be a sound investment, it'll happen. Im def not holding my breath tho since as others have pointed out gta6 would be a better time to add a new city to gtao, and get a full $60 instead of $20, or free, for the massive amount of work involved. But when gta6 drops gtao will def have a new map added.

The OpenIV team are porting Liberty City from IV directly to V.

 

Think it'll bring it's NPCs and Radio Stations from IV and EFLC. It's only a mod for Singleplayer, though. (more info)

 

Would be cool to go back to Liberty City after like 9 years.

If we dont get any info by friday, or its bad info and everyone (except a handful) are upset, this thread will prob get locked, or renamed B&M part2 lol.

[rlk232]

A big map expansion three years into the game? Better pony up some real money for it. Them giving it away now would not be borne out by shark card sales, too many people I know have quit playing and/or sold their copy of V. They're not going to buy it again and pay for dlc. We'll be getting one more update but it won't be an expansion, kiddies. Just my gut hunch but it's a strong one.

[gtafan26]

People talking about map expansion, if R* cares about "continuity" it would need to make it to story mode as well since GTA:O takes place before story mode. Unless they don't care about pieces of land or buildings vanishing in a near future. That would be kinda weird to be honest as none of it was there during the solo story, unless of course it's NY far away off shore.

 

Anyway, hope we get news real soon. Coming here doesn't help, but what is someone has a real leak, how would I know if I skip a day. Never skip a spec day.

Lol that point was passed a long time ago.

They made $921million last year alone on microtransactions. They made $300million in 3 months this year on gta5 sales. The cash is there, but where its being utilized is the Question. The housers are prob spending a lot on std meds, hookers, and coke tho so theres prob not much left. They could use the cash they stole from leslie lol. Shoot give the open IV guys $50 mill, we will be in LC before summer starts.

I feel ya. Theres so many ppls personal wishlists riding on this update emotions are high lol. Im usually patient, but im starting to crack under the pressure lol. Being a r* enthusiast takes a toll on ya.

[Dust]

 

 

 

I want to see this when I scope in:

3.5 years looking through the same scope is boring. It's time for a high tech refresher. Not on the marksman though. That rifle needs a decent red dot or AGOG.

I mean ya but we already have night vision for sniper scopes on next gen and I'm guessing pc.... u just zoom in then press on the d-pad.. but I agree a thermal scope would be nice

 

The Night Vision gear item that was introduced with the heists update has its moments of being useful. I am so happy that it's in the game. A step in the right direction in terms of wearable functional clothing options. When activated it does create what seems to be a 'night vision scope' but it's not the clean cut version of what I'm looking for. I want a scope that is either exclusively night vision or one that lets me toggle it on/off. I want a optic that has the thermal or nightvision filter as a feature for the scope itself.

I wouldn't cry if rockstar just added thermal vision as a face item that you activate but that's not what i'm looking for. I want a scope that flawlessly transitions me from a sun soaked los santos to a colorful thermal scope (or nightvision) It's all about convenience. For example, when I play certain contact missions and I know I can use a stealth approach and remain undetected it would be more fast paced to just scope in and have the nightvision or thermal scope just do its thing. Having to navigate through the interaction menu in order to select certain headgear and then activate it is not a genuine NV or thermal scope. It's a shortcut for one but its really just a clear scope being looked at through NV. That's not exciting and it kills the immersion of the fluid gameplay IMO. The bottom line is I like NV goggles but I don't like it all over my screen in order to use it. Sometimes only having it when I scope in is enough for my needs creating a middle ground between not using NV or having it activated 100% covering the screen. New snipers introduced with gunrunning would be great but simply having a new thermal or NV scope is enough to breath new life into 3.5 year old weapons.

To rhemedy this, they could place LC in a proper geographical spot, but that would likely be beyond the map bounds that GTA V / GTA O supports. They could extend this, but Rockstar is notorious for cutting corners. The end result would be sloppy to say the least.

 

 

So no. It's not happening right now, and it will not happen. People like you try to pull the "but Rockstar is makes the game so they should be able to do it". They could do it, but the real question is, how broken would it be? Quit getting your hopes up.

 

The OpenIV team are porting Liberty City from IV directly to V.

 

-VIDEO-

Think it'll bring it's NPCs and Radio Stations from IV and EFLC. It's only a mod for Singleplayer, though. (more info)

 

Would be cool to go back to Liberty City after like 9 years.

 

Read my post again. I already covered that. The Liberty City mod is actually a tool by the OpenIV team that will convert LC from an installed copy from IV. Nothing more.

whats the next event?

I don't even care, I'm more interested in the event week right before Gunrunning drops.. i.e the event week running from June 2nd to June 6th

 

As for the one starting this Friday, I just hope there's some decent bonuses on freeroam work whether it be I/E, Biker Sales or even VIP Work.

 

Just please.. no.. more.. stunt races and adversary modes.

Anyone seriously expecting a map expansion is taking the speculation way too far! And saying it's a worthy topic because it can't be disproved is like saying we should all be worshipping baby Jesus right now

People are saying it because Around launch The Benz mentioned it and said the engine was built for it. He also said something to the effect that they had familiar places in mind for the future. Also we know that a Rockstar dev was working on something related to LC because he had art from a high res central park from IV in his resume. Maybe it means something, maybe it means nothing, but the speculation is not without reason.

 

 

A big map expansion three years into the game? Better pony up some real money for it. Them giving it away now would not be borne out by shark card sales, too many people I know have quit playing and/or sold their copy of V. They're not going to buy it again and pay for dlc. We'll be getting one more update but it won't be an expansion, kiddies. Just my gut hunch but it's a strong one.

The player base in online was higher in December than it ever has been, at last announcement to stockholders. It has sold 80 million copies, 5 million of those between the first of January and the end of March. Of this year. Years after first release.

 

Hopefully your gut is a lot better than the assumptions you are making about how well the the game is doing!
