Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

Does anyone know how hard it would be to sync the waves between players?

Afaik things like waves and weather don't sync. I could be wrong though.

 

If I'm playing in the rain that doesn't necessarily mean all other players in the same lobby have the same weather does it?

 

If not I'd expect the sea conditions to work in a similar way.

How does that work when we get snow? Like when players leave their consoles on to keep the snow after the New Year? Are they just guaranteed solo sessions as the weather can't sync, or do they have snow and everyone else in their session has regular weather?

[EkaSwede]

So I wonder now that we can have low level access to Fort Zancudo. How long until we'd get low level access to Bolingbroke Penitentiary?

Weather is absolutely synced. Even the day color hue variations. Waves i believe are synced too, from what i can tell after playing contact missions like Chumash and Grab.

With a new update - Prison Blues! Venture into private for-profit prison sector! Buy parts of the prisons* or whole prisons, including the new underground prisons and off-the-radar FIB facilities! But the classic Bolingbroke can still make you go broke! Catch criminals, deliver them to your facility and make sure they're safe before they're airlifted to another state. Scenarios include possible break-outs from the outside and various riots.

 

Upgrade your prisons' security systems, hire discharged army grunts for extra protection and most importantly - hire a few extra cooks. A hungry man is a dangerous man.

 

*prices starting from 5.000.000$, only available for CEOs.

Its prob similar to npc syncing. Two ppl can see the same npc, but both players hear different dialog when the npc speaks. I always thought it funny when heisting i could hear the npc's saying differant stuff through my buddies mic. Prob both have same type of weather, but different cloud shapes/sizes etc.

from experience last year, if a player leave the console on and doesnt receive the tunable update that disables the snow, he becomes the host and his weather is displayed to those in the session.

 

joined a friends session couple days after snow was removed and i had snow in my session, so yeah, its weird

I've noticed some weird stuff going on with the Tula in VTOL mode and other players (Tula on their screen being 10 feet above the water when I'm landed next to them)

 

Well according to this the waves def dont sound synced. I will try to test this later with my sons ps4 to see if it is a result of coding or a random glitch. I do remember riding with avery in the boat in the setup. Some waves would envelop the boat on my screen.

[Lupo-Akane]

 

I think that a bikers 2 update would be fantastic. More customization for clubhouses. Bennys customizable choppers or street bagger customs, and all around more biker savy content. Below is a video describing what the community has asked for along with a petition for those of you interested in seeing this happen!

 

-snip-

so long as it comes with a sidecar mod and pets

 

 

Ill take the sidecar, bike and the sweet satchel bag but i dont need the pet.

[Kimpa_Frk]

Who said the naval dlc isn't attractive, check this video, and see how many fans are waiting for that happening.

 

I wasn't very interested in a naval dlc, but after watching this im all for it!

Funnily enough, the last ounce of usefulness of the yacht was the fact that it gave you an easy chopper from the go, now with Smugglers Run, the yacht is 100% useless.

[JakeOnFire]

Ran into two bugs. P45 Nokota's machine guns are not all functional. Pyro's controls sometimes go unresponsive or too responsive and just in my opinion not fir for flying let alone dog fighting. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/340323655504494592/356904903546896384/2017-11-09-16-47-33.jpeg?width=1202&height=677

I would't say "absolutely". Most of the time GTA just pretends that everything is synced. Ive seen plenty videos with a groups of people playing in the same lobby and they all had different weather or different time of the day at some point (it was a night for one of them for example)

 

If somethings not right - gta just ignores it. I think thats the rule.

 

Same with snow day - if you stay long enough you will be the only person in the loby that can see the snow. For everyone else you will be picking up snow from nowhere

 

and RetroStyle might be right about those waves - missions with Aqua Technicals and APC are rly bad at synced players correctly.

 

edit:

 

but still not that big of a deal. I think Boats DLC might be a thing after all.

When we get the Bombushka I'll buy it just so I can fly it and blare "Bomber" by Motörhead.

Thank you for changing the tune in my head when I see the term "bombushka". I've had the Addams Family's "mumushka" on repeat in my head for almost 2 weeks straight.

New premium race tomorrow thankfully. It's always so tough to get 8 people in the special vehicle races.

 

I wonder which stunt track it will be?

Does anyone know how hard it would be to sync the waves between players? It seems that would be the foundation of a naval dlc imo. Im not against a naval dlc. Even if its a rehashed SR, the boat storage/customization, and the new boats would make it good imo, even if the gameplay is mediocre. But that being said a Full Blown Midnight Club Update would be much Cooler and better implemented imo. It would bring gta back closer to reality, and scratch the itch of most of the automotive enthusiast community. Plus Midnight Club had Sport bikes as well as cruisers, so even bikers would get some content while waiting on Bikers 2. For anyone who didn't play The Midnight Club Series, it had a nice mix of Muscle, JDM, Exotics, Luxury Car/Suv, Sport bikes, Choppers, Lowriders, and even Trucks.

Why would they even need to sync waves? it's not like there are tornadoes in this game, if the weather gets bad, it gets bad for everyone in the game and not just one player, and even when it gets bad it's not THAT bad for it to be in the need of a proper sync for the waves.

 

Not to mention that it's impossible to do that without redesigning the graphic engine of this game, which is impossible at this stage if I am not mistaken, and even if it's possible, I don't imagine Rockstar putting THAT much effort into it.

It would ruin immersion for most ppl if they release a boat dlc but when you battle ppl in choppy waters it would look like ppl are floating above the waves. Not a huge deal, but r* patches clothing glitches so i doubt they would let it slide. My only concern is how hard would it be to sync for r* in a future update. If it would be a drain on overall game performance I doubt it would be dealt with. Then its just a matter of whether its a dealbreaker in r*s eyes concerning a naval dlc. Also if theirs 2 boats battling. On Boat A's screen Boat B is floating up high on an invisible wave making an easy target, while on Boat B's Screen Boat A is under a massive wave which acts like a temporary wallbreach making Boat A Impossible to shoot.

Yep. Example being any two person objectives that require being in the same boat. sh*t, that same thing happens when riding passenger while off road in a Kuruma.

[JakeOnFire]

should i make a chart to calculate when to drop bombs to hit targets

[HamwithCheese]

Damn, nostalgia hitting me real hard. But, its not happening unless they find a way to "properly monetize" the update like they've done recently.

They already know how to properly monetize it.

That explains why when u hit a jump smoothly you can fire in mid air, but when you hit a jump erratically it disables ur fire button till you hit the ground. If two ppl in the same car flip around in different ways maybe it cant calculate bullet trajectories accurately so it simply avoids the problem. Hmmmmm Science

Whenever they do a Benny's car I usually do two or more versions of it. Add in the cost of swapping parts/paint i prob spend 3-4 times as much as a Reg car. If R* dropped a Proper Midnight Club Update I would buy a $20 shark even tho i'm set financially (In gta at least lol) just to show my appreciation. They would have to add Ford products tho since Ford is missing in MC3 for some reason.
