Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[EkaSwede]

Let's hope the boat DLC doesn't give us battleships and torpedos.

 

I would like to see Jet skis that are like the ones i Wave Race. Man, that was a fun game.

[Verbal Soze]

R* have missed the opportunity to add some water based updates, if they wanted to add some sea based updates it should be added with the smuggling update, combining sea and air capabilities, that would open a lots of perspective i think, rather than adding a standalone sea updates with another grinding and more pvp action -_-

 

so i guess if they are adding a standalone water based dlc in the future i'm hoping it wouldn't be just about property and business, maybe a race, a sport like triathlons, or a diving contest or maybe a swimming contest, swim from point a to b haha, swimming adv mode yeah i'll play it! A pvp mode without a gun or a murder, a non stress pvp mode, sea race stunts or whatever, a survival mode maybe, where we have to defend our ships from sharks, its like piracy prevention but instead of killing each other now we team up with another player killing sharks haha perhaps its too much -_-

 

Basically a fun update with a non grinding content, but if they choose the grinding path then i'm done, just give me a street racing themed update instead if they're heading that way, cause i wanted to have fun while playing the game, not grinding another business and wasting my life away with some fake money..

[CarimboHanky]

Hopefully one of the locked vehicles is released tonight, even though they don't seem to do it on weekends anymore.

 

 

have they ever released a vehicle during the weekend?

 

i really dont remember that happening...

[Sanches]

Yes, i was thinking about more love to seacraft some time ago. But now it's just completely unneeded.

What role boats will serve? Transport? We got tons of sport cars and aircraft now. Battleships? Who will war above the ocean since every spawn points are in the city.

Since Rockstar are using the same update model now (buy property, fill it up and then sell the stock) imagine the ressuply missions. "Blow up the ship, take supplies. Rob the yacht, take supplies."

I can totally see a water based DLC.

 

 

[GLTh3Pr0]

Please.

[SHADOW OPS]

What about a DLC where we can get surgery to look like dolphin?

 

The heli-sexuality guys got their hunter/apache. Why can't us dolphin-sexuals get a dlc about us?

We don't need another sex with things we shouldn't bang dlc.

[HKM87]

Speaking of a marine update. Lots of the sourcing missions in SR are over the ocean, I believe there were like 3 variations/scenarios of these. Hint hint?

[elfoam]

Why we didn't get liveries for the Hydra and Lazer, I'll never know. Was hoping for some modern fighter jets in this DLC too.

Rockstar are literally so sh*t scared of changing even simple code in this game incase it breaks in a serious way and they can't find a way to fix it. They just don't fix anything not related to them making money.. ever. undrivable Faction, hole in the dukes. the list is long.

[Talisman_83]

 

Why we didn't get liveries for the Hydra and Lazer, I'll never know. Was hoping for some modern fighter jets in this DLC too.

Because that'd require reworking the Hydra and Lazer to include them - it's not as easy as just bolting on new functionality on to years-old assets and their attendant systems.

 

And they could have made new variants (particularly since the Lazer isn't already available to buy, so they could have technically made the player-owned Lazer a new version, not the regular Zancudo one), but considering the hangar-specific aircraft all have new handling variations and extra options like countermeasures, additional weapons, etc., and the existing Lazer/Hydra don't, it might have been seen as too much work to rework the existing models/systems to include them, just to spruce up older vehicles.

 

That said, the easiest thing would have been to add a more modern jet as one of the all-new vehicles. Heck, it wouldn't need to be that modern - something like an F-14 Tomcat looks 'modern', and is clocking on for 50 years old (or how about an F-4 Phantom II, which is almost 60 - !).

 

 

They were able to add primary (and secondary for the Lazer) respray, so I don't buy that adding liveries would be too much work. I'm not asking for countermeasures or armour or anything.

 

Rather, I see it as simply this: Rockstar want us to focus on and buy the new aircraft. So, they dedicate resources to those. That said, if a new model of the Lazer / whatever was the one we're getting priced at $6.5m and it came with liveries, countermeasures, I'd be happy to shell out for it, so why they didn't go down that route is baffling.

 

Edit: should probably continue my rant over at http://gtaforums.com/topic/823972-gtao-the-official-btch-moan-topic/

Paint options are there since the game launched, you simply were not able to apply them.

[MisFit-138]

 

So we've had cars, bikes and now plane businesses.

 

I guess boating's the next.

Idk if some1 covered this aready but watch this. Makes kinda sense.

Pretty sure that video is based on the dialogue in this thread. How do people not know that pirates still exist? They dont dress like its the 1600's and they dont use swords. They use RPG's, ak-47's, and speed boats. They raid yachts and oil tankers. They hold hostages for ransom. They fight with many different countries Navy's. Somalia, Indonesia, and Nigeria and the seas surrounding are lousy with

MODERN Pirates who will rob you and kill you!

If R* thinks a boat DLC is more important than a Tuner DLC....Man, I'm gonna have to choke a bitch.

well tbh modern pirates are nowhere as "cool" and rememberable as the historical pirates. these days they just come over as regular thugs

[EggsAndJam]

Considering the wealth of cars already in this game (yes I know it's grand theft AUTO yadda yadda yadda) it might be nice to round out the vehicle selections, we've had bikes, trucks, aircraft... water craft is a logical next step.

[REXX]

Before you know it we'll be buying docks for 10mil+ to store our stolen goods from other boats which we then have to sell overseas in 5 minutes with a Tug...

Sounds nice and all... but it's gonna be the same fetch and return bullsh*t. Now, if online had sea life, I'd be all for it. You tell me I can be doing a resupply and have to fight off a hammerhead? I'm all for it. However, the ocean life in this game in non-existent so it's boring as f*ck being out in the water.

[MisFit-138]

The heli-sexuality guys got their hunter/apache. Why can't us dolphin-sexuals get a dlc about us?

F*ck dolphins, sea urchins FTW!

 

OT: Ideally, something more focused around underwater. Its a massive, pretty much unused space with so much potential. Submarines, aquatic hideouts, etc... bit farfetched, but y'know; farfetched seems to be right up Rockstars' street at the moment.

Exactly, the key no an Aquactic DLC is underneath the waves. Scuba gear and amphibious weapons would go along way towards the games fun factor. It would still need some slight tweaks like subs and scuba divers are off radar, right thumb stick not moving your character while swimming, ect.

[MisFit-138]

It is more important, for me personally. People have been asking for scuba diving since day one of online. More boats too. I saw tuners come up here and there, but 10× as much after that fake trailer. For me, I say a general "street racing" dlc that includes muscles, hot rods, AND tuners would be better.

[AUScowboy]

Not very excited by pirates or sea based update theme, why not a general improvement update? Long needed fixes, add certain wildlife to the game, but have them spawn less than SP so as not to become obtrusive. I would be down, especially if it focused graphic/texture/model bugs and mistakes. It would probably take them way more effort than our usual DLC fare, so it'll probably NEVER happen.

 

Honestly, I loved GR and SR, but we need something different for a change. Tuners and Nightlife would be ideal, and seem to be the theme I see requested the most ATM. I fear though that R* will just continue to opt for breaking a full dlc into small chunks (like Gunrunning and Smugglers Run and Transform races), and stretch premade/existing content out as much as possible before they catch sh*t for it. Might sound like a downer, but I've learned after 4 years of GTAO not to expect ANYTHING to be frank. Just goin' with tha flo...

does anyone know if RS has any plans to use the hangers like they did with bunker series adv modes?

 

like imagine a slasher in one of those with some extra props.

[korhan332]

I Don't want a pirate theme update because they ruined ground they ruined sky but we can't let ruin the sea only safe place in gta online.

Pirates dlc.. Err abit boring but i want

[please stop me]

I would just be happy to see some new speedboats

[General_Z]

Man, im not trying to sh*t on the hunter guys or nothing but the hunter f*cking sucks, it would've been great if it had its guns controllable from the pilots seat, it only has that barrage and homing missles which is cool but not that useful in the long run. rockstar f*cked it up RIP

Edited September 2, 2017 by General_Z

[Gaffa]

It would be nice if the pilot could control the cannon, but I understand that for balancing reasons, it may not have been the best idea. The cannon has more range and power than the Valkyrie's cannon, so this thing firing all of its weapons when moving at speed is really deadly.

 

 

[Rented]

I guess boating's the next.

I thought about exactly the same thing a couple hours ago, perhaps we will see the cool speed boats making a return from TBOGT? Such as the Smuggler:I actually thought about it as well last Tuesday, and TBoGT boats as well

Balancing LMAO, they do a great job of that with the hydra and lazer, a f*cking helicopter could NEVER be OP like the jets, R* is just dumb as f*ck, they could of given it the savages guns or ones a little bit better

I highly doubt boating would be next, there is next to no shark card sales in that, who the in sh*t wants to be out in the boring empty ocean, it would only work if they added sea life

Sea life.

Shark cards.

Fishing for... Shark (cards)..?

 

Well if we follow Rockstar's fetish for retro-popular culture, if we were to get a 'Maritime Madness' DLC or whatever it would probably be based on "Waterworld" (but cost more).
