Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[Lupo-Akane]

 

 

 

 

Uh ya insensitive person. Lots of ppl died many ppl are with out power and homes. Lives are Runied right now.

 

How would you like if a storm or something similar comes to your area?

I'm not being insensitive, I know people have died and many lost there home, and it's happening again and it will happen again, next year it will happen again. I'm not making jokes about the dead or homeless, hell i have given to the Red Cross and the others asking for money but to just stop everything is not going to help anyone.

But how you wored that "crap happens" that's kinda messed up

 

I don't mean to be mean, but we are playing a game that lets you have sex with a hooker then blow her head off, we can walk up to a cop and just kill them or any person, which happens IRL.

 

Now if it was called hurricane harvey, i would be with them. But just talking about a natural event to happen in game, that happens all over the world is noting to jump up and say "To Soon",

Why should we have hurricanes? Hurricane weather in Los Santos is not realistic. Last I checked, San Andreas was in California. Haven't you people ever noticed the west coast never gets hit with a hurricane? Hurricanes are very unlikely to hit on the west coast for a few reasons. Those reasons are best explained here, an article from the scientific american: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-hurricanes-hit-the-east-coast-of-the-u-s-but-never-the-west-coast/No crap, I said it happens in other parts of the world, never said it was for realism. We were talking about rl events vs in game crap.

[please stop me]

Smuggler's Run had me in the air, something I have never bothered to do before. Dogfights are so much fun, taking down oppressors has never been so much fun and being a general dick for once was fun lol

A naval update, introducing battleships, pirate ships and a whole host of naval operations would sure get me in the waters and again with the smugglers run, would open up a new opportunity and gameplay that I have never bothered with before.

As with an aircraft update that I once said HAS to come, we need a naval update. Let's get everyone out in the waters, be it doing missions or sea battles in general. How about an old school assassin's creed black flag pirate vs pirate battle? or a modern dreadnought vs dreadnought battle? I truly think a naval update is coming and sooner than we think.

He pulled that out of his arse

 

No, I did not. It makes the game laggy, and can possibly make it crash. It has to do with all of the city lights plus explosions/effects in combination with the reflections. They took away rain in Stunt Races with Special Vehicles Races specifically because the light up neon tubes were too taxing for the game at night.

 

To prove this, go to the creator, go to the airport. Place 50 of the spotlights from the construction section. Start race at night with rain (not a stunt race since no stunt props are used). The game lags hard and if you are on console, your PS4 or Xbox will get very loud, fan going crazy.

 

The reason they have allowed it for things like the UFO crash is a workaround. It's only a temporary storm, and in one of the least lit up, least reflective areas of the map.

I remember when it rained at night on last gen after launch before getting removed. I miss that. And Dozers spawning in the city.

 

Any reason why they removed dozer spawns in the city? Now I have to force spawn them but I don't really bother on current gen because you can't cargobob dozers.

but only the rain puddles have reflections during the rain.( i'm not sure about that in the Moment)

but if that's the case then R* could just put a new Script that disables Rain puddles from Rain during stuntraces. (rain didn't created puddles on the last gen, right?

[GLTh3Pr0]

I can't believe the narrative of a possible Pirate DLC is actually taking form...

As much as I can't believe that most of the people here don't know that piracy is still a thing and instantly assume it's only about centuries old cannon balls, sailing ships and parrots. Should an "aquatic business" update ever come out, I can only think of it as being based on piracy (steal stuff from the other ships with your weaponised boats, return to your boatyard).

I'd be happy if it just rained at night....

This. Holy sh*t, Rockstar is so stupid. Why does it have to almost always rain at like 11 AM? Night rain in Los Santos in GTA V(current gen) is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in-game.

It makes the game unstable, that's why. That is also why you can't set rain on for a stunt race.

 

I want it too, trust me.

 

Edit: I wouldn't say no to owning a pirate ship lol. I'd buy it in a heatbeat.

It doesn't make the game unstable. The weather and time is controlled by an internal clock.

 

The only time the rain affects anything is during segments like stunt races, where hundreds of props without proper LODs are spawned, eating up memory quickly.

Pretty sure it is a little more complicated than that just "put in a new script". The new weather is built into the base game, and we are talking about the same people who can't even fix the collision box on the Faction. Besides, if they took away the puddles, there is no point in the rain at all. That is what makes the rain weather look good.

Well when when I spawn into a lobby that is raining at night, in the city, and multiple explosions are going on, my game lags hard as f*ck and traffic starts acting all buggy, spawning in mid air and stuff. Used to happen a lot when you spawn back in freemode from the EMP setup and you would have never ending rain.

Unstable doesn't mean "about to screw some calculations and make the game crash" in his messages.

 

As far as I understand, it means "laggy" and "asking a lot of effort from player's hardware who will get their shiny little consoles go a lil' bit too hot because they can't manage highly demanding effects like water reflections at night"

Edited September 9, 2017 by delorianlazarus

[Mach1bud]

Indeed. Maybe "unstable" is the wrong wording. Idk. It makes the game run like sh*t. Just my experience from creating sets in the Creator.

You missed my point, I am very well aware that piracy is a thing nowdays, only in a smaller scale than it used to be back in the middle ages.

 

My issue with it is that it's such a niche kind of crime, to such a small demographic of players who actually like to use boats in the game, that I fail to see this should be a priority over a Tuner DLC, which we have been asking for a long time and which has a lot to do with the game, that is cars and underground racing.

 

Turn on your game right now and look at the map:

 

How many players are sailing? Or just kicking back in their yatch?

[delorianlazarus]

Almost no one sails because

1) pretty much nothing to do but to look at the landscape and doing circles

2) dangerous: each time I take a boat to relax after some work, a dude shows up with a jet

 

So we need

1) things to do

2) proper tools

 

And then I'll give 0 crap about another car oriented DLC and go FULL STEAM AHEAD

Exactly, a pirate ship will sink every time I see it pop up in my radar. For example, look at the tug boat. Everyone was excited but no one used it afterwards

[delorianlazarus]

So, after further thinking...

Unless they add a MOC style ship (both for the armor and weaponry aspects), no chance it will ever happen.

 

Planes are weak in terms of resistance but they can evade missiles with agility, and since SR, countermeasures that are very efficient.

And you can abort the fight by ejecting if you're hit.

 

In a boat, you better be in a floating tank, since you can neither evade missiles/canon or flee the scene fast enough.

 

 

Submarine is a solution today, but it's pretty limited combat-wise lol

(Best way to avoid bounties in crowded session of you don't want to hide at home)

I've never heard of rain at night making the game unstable.

I'm pretty sure it's just because the combo hurt flying visibility enough that testers complained and they knew players would complain. That's not a concern for a heist setup and the .0001% of players who make it to the UFO mission can deal.

[HKM87]

Current gen my ass

 

Can't even run GTAonline at a rainey night smh

I f*cking hate that damn thing, but I can understand the appeal of it.

 

What I can't understand is why the f*ck R* thought it would be good to have CEOs delivering crates in those slow, boring pieces of sh*t.

Precisely because they are slow, boring pieces of sh*t.

You introduce a Biker update everyone is driving around thinking they are bikers

You Introduce a Military update everyone is thinking they are in some militia
You introduce a Plane update and everyone is in the sky
You introduce a Pirate update and everyone is...

It doesn't matter what the update is, people will come, check it out, and will always look forward to the next one just like now.

You have never heard of it being a problem because it has never rained at night in freeroam for 99% of players. It is definitely a game performance issue. Obviously the game can run night rain just fine in Story Mode. The problem comes in when you add 29 other players causing mayhem that are all seeing reflections at the same time.

 

Edit: But hey, it is what it is, regardless of reason. I do hope they figure out a way to add rain back to stunt races.

Edited September 9, 2017 by Mach1bud

[Piro]

If Pirates dlc will rly be a thing we can expect:

 

 

- Faster boats with armor, turrets and rocket launchers (The Thunder hopefully)

- Some classics from Vice City

- Something silly and unrealistic. Probably a small boat/jetsky with wings and a jet engine

- Stealing cargo from yachts and cargoboats

-Deliveries in Tug boats...

Thanks for the education! I always thought that weather had been removed from Stunt Races because some people couldn't cope with the lack of traction + poor track design _{^{not looking at anyone in-particular, Rockstar Verified...}}​

From a performance point of view I wonder what the sync is / would be like in a crowded lobby regarding water. Big waves for some, but a mill-pond for others?

Rocket boat from 007? Shut up and take my money! I'll get it in a heartbeat

[APB]

Since R* is on that supercar roll, this would be perfect for a Water DLC:

 

 

 

 

Price it at 9.7 mill and everyone will still buy it, just like with the Visione or whatever it was called.

 

Srsly, I can see this 100% happening, if the Next DLC is based on water.

Yea but, unless we get some underwater type submarines (Underwater MOC?) a hydra will light those "pirate ships" or "boats" easy. They'll be a death trap

[Irrational]

Good thing I play with peaceaful crews.

[MisFit-138]

Yea but, unless we get some underwater type submarines (Underwater MOC?) a hydra will light those "pirate ships" or "boats" easy. They'll be a death trap

Everything is a death trap when the hydra is concerned. But I agree, subs, amphibious small arms, and heavy armored boats are a must.

[RetroStyle]

My speculation is....BIKERS RIDE AGAIN!! WE WANT BIKERS DLC 2!!! WATCH THE VID, SHARE, & SIGN THE PETITION!!!

 

 

Meh. Most PPL want a Hotrod/Tuner B4 another biker rehash.
