Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 3)

A trailer today and surprise release tomorrow would make me a happy man.

A trailer today and surprise release tomorrow would make me a happy man.

That certainly would be a surprise, considering tommorow is still May.

[Cavot]

A trailer today and surprise release tomorrow would make me a happy man.

A trailer on memorial day? I mean, I can just about guarantee R* employees don't have the day off, but I feel like a trailer release today doesn't seem very likely.

[Gridl0k]

It wouldn't be too surprising from rockstar though, they move in mysterious ways.

 

Thursday DLC is possible, no? Didn't Beach Bum or something ancient launch on a non-Tuesday?

I know, it was a joke. I am just saying it would be awesome.

I'm really hoping this isn't going to be a case of style over content.

I'm worried it's going to be a huge, flashy, reskinned version of Warehouse/Clubhouse. Just another bunch of fetch quests and shiny new gimmicky vehicles.

 

I'm probably worrying unduly. Given how long this DLC is taking, I'm fairly hopeful that it's going to be more in depth than that

Pretty much everything in GTAO is fetch quests.

 

You're not going to sit at a bench and assemble weapons piece by piece in some elaborate minigame. Or engage in dialogue with selection options to make new contacts and then arrange sales and haggle for price.

 

No, you're going to sit on a PC, press 'buy gunz' then go to X, collect Y and return to Z. Then press 'sell gunz' on your PC and deliver a van, plane, chopper to a destination.

 

 

Yes this is true BUT add a little cutscreen to it, give it a little bit of story and something boring turns in to something fun rly quickly.

 

Lamars mission at the funeral for example , or biker contracts , SV miniheists. Every dlc gets a little bit better if you ask me. They mentioned new missions in the newsire so I'm hoping for more story missions. Stealing military vehicles from FZ and aircraft carrier is a sure thing at this point if you ask me.

 

Wild speculation about that random mallard stunt plane buff - it's a part of a mission/mini-heist:

- Military is testing new APCs

- using stunt planes is the only way to get close to them

- jump out, kill everyone, steal 4 apcs

- wild Hunter appears!

- destroy hunter with apcs and lose the military in the water

- bring APCs back (and plan how to steal Hunter now)

 

But who would be your contact for Gunrunning? My favorites so far:

- Agent 14 from heists (he rly looks like James from Funhaus to me)

- Jacob from gta4

- Trevor (very unlikely)

- Paige Harris would be ok (I forgot she was a part of SP)

- Would love to see Phil Cassidy but hes from 3D universe so very unlikely

- that ex military guy (Cut content. Forgot his name) Alan McClean

 

Who I surly don't want:

- Lester / LJT

- office assistant

 

 

The military guy is called Kyle P. Slater, I'm not very sure he could be coming back to the game just for this since R* would need to hire the actor again(his only voice lines in the game are in his awnsering machine when you call him)

 

And you forgot Oscar Guzman

 

This forgotten guy from singleplayer has been in the Gunrunning game for years already, and he does mention to Trevor that he works as a middle man for many people in the arms trade besides Trevor.

 

I can see this guy being our contact much more than anyone else.

 

I meant Alan McClean

and I didn't mention Oscar Guzman cuz... well there's nothing interesant about that character. The only think I remember about him is his shirt.

Yea, they don't have to release the dlc at the end of event week. R* could release it during this week while new players can still have a chance to save up their money to buy the military toys that they needed.

wait a minute

what about this guy http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Kyle_P._Slater

his voicemail is working and the game files report that he appears in a random event, hitches a ride back to the base, thanks the player, and gives you his phone number.

 

meanwhile the voicemail mentions that he is "First Lieutenant" , so is this guy has connection for gun running update ?

Sarcasm on this forum? You brave soul mach1bud.

[Azaan60]

What are our chances of getting a newswire post or release date tomorrow?

[EkaSwede]

What are our chances of getting a newswire post or release date tomorrow?

Low, I'm afraid. Expect the worst.

[Horrid_Saiyam]

What are our chances of getting a newswire post or release date tomorrow?

We can get some info on either Thursday or Friday...

 

Thursday is my bet

[RetroStyle]

If it releases june 6th i would expect a newswire post thursday. Btw Happy Memorial Day to Everyone, especially those who lost Loved ones in combat.

[Yan2295]

 

What exactly makes you say that?

 

They have and it already passed, afaik.

 

They announce the release date once it's verified.

 

They gave us more details about the update Thursday. It passed submissions Friday (hence why they didn't give a release date on Thursday). But since they just gave us details about the update, they're not gonna make a new post right after just to announce the release date. So it passed, but the release date is not public yet.

Its the 6th. There now its public lol. Btw thank you Yan for all you do for the gta community. Its good to have ppl who can keep us informed. God knows r* wont.

[Yan2295]

Its the 6th. There now its public lol.

 

That's your guess.

[bulldog385]

 

He** to the F'in NO on Lester the MOLESTER ... LMAO !!!! I'd Rather take a Pipe to the Knee Caps, Than have to Deal with that P.O.S. again ... Him and his Alter Ego, LJT as well.

 

What's with the random capitalization? Whats with all the D*** Questions? What are you a Teacher? or a Cop? ... LOL Who Cares.

[Hector Tavares]

Yan or Fun, do you happen to have some iFruit images of the new cars, like with the I/E update? If I recall, we got an image of the Technical Aqua in iFruit a few weeks before the update dropped.

IGG 1 and 2 came out on Wednesday and Thursday respectively if I'm not mistaken.

[ChengizVlad09]

I dunno, but Uncle Lest seems like a cool guy, I wouldn't mind him taking some kind of role related to gun running business, hacking things in the background or something. Who ever mentioned Agent 14, he could be our go to guy when it comes to gun running, after all these two are somewhat related.

he can also come out as an LJT V2.

[Hector Tavares]

Guys, what if Cletus Ewing (the hunter guy) is our contact for the Gunrunning missions?

Eh they're all going to be equally annoying as LJT .. "Public service announcement from LJT .. I'm annoying"

[RetroStyle]

Yep. Whats ur guess?

[CarimboHanky]

unless ifruit receive a new update, i dont think nothing new would be found.

[MaddenedGhost]

the Ifruit image from Import/Export wasn't from a live build (according to Fun) it was a leaked image and not found in the files.

So anything is possible.

If Gunrunning is going to recycle characters, I would guess from the options we've got in game that our contact would be Ron (and/or maybe Trevor).

 

A number of his (their) current contact missions involve stealing from Zancudo etc. so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for their 'business needs' to evolve to some different military hardware with some extra punch. If this is the case though, I don't imagine we'll be getting any new voiced cut-scenes.

 

I would prefer to get different contacts if I'm honest, but I'm just trying to think how R* could / would cut corners!

[woteva]

Guys, what if Cletus Ewing (the hunter guy) is our contact for the Gunrunning missions?

would be funny. atleast the hunter will appear. he didn't tweet for a long time; maybe because he was busy with preparations for gunrunning.

hunter confirmed

[JohhnieWalker324]

What if Franklin is our contact i would love to see him but unlikely i like him he is best of 3

 

And makes sense to release on 6th and also we might have event weekend from 2nd to 5th like I/E 2x rp/$ car sell and new set of discounts we've had few weeks ago 4 jobs that are 2x rp/$. As Fun stated they can release DLC during event week,it's ez for them
