Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 4)

[DaGhostQc]

A tuner DLC with an actual race track somewhere in one of the vast empty spaces on the map... Having the equivalent of Laguna Seca in the desert would be awesome. I know it's more wish listing than speculating, but I never understood why they never bothered doing this in the first place. Instead, they gave us a dirt bike track full of crap because it's disguised as a construction site.

I don't think the next update will be in the same vein as what we have been getting. I think they are gonna make a departure from this new "normal" that they have established. I think the end of the year update is gonna be different, better, but still very expensive.

I don't mind expensive, I like working towards something I guess, but what I want is little fun things to do, like burglaries.

 

Have random houses all over the map, from Paleto Bay to LS and everywhere in between. Each house comes with different amounts you can get $10,000 for easy house, $15,000 to $20,000 for mid to high house. Rare warehouses can spawn every now and then worth $40,000 to $50,000 but they are a lot harder.

 

I think many of use would take smaller paying jobs if they were fun and not geared towards trolls killing us.

Oh I doubt prices are going down anytime soon lol. Just saying I predict the style of content (Luxury Warlord) will switch up next time.

 

Every year end they release a big update with things that are requested (Yachts, 60 car garages, etc). They do this for a reason.

 

Just in case it is the last update.

 

They then review how the year went, and decide on the future of the game from there. This year is slightly different however, with the impending release of a major title next year, they will be trying to hype players into buying that new game when it nears release time. This means less focus on advertising GTA Online. So my theory is, this year the Nov-Dec update will be bigger and better than any update we have ever had. I expect many fan requests to be fufilled, content wise at least. This will be the last big push for Shark Cards until after the RDR2 cashcow passes. There may be another (spring) update before RDR2, but I think that all depends on how well the end of this year goes, critic wise and shark card sale wise.

 

They have been sprinkling us with fan requested content this year, I expect them to end with a big bang in December. Then I expect RDR2 media to be in full swing by February. Weekly events continue for GTA Online and drip feed vehicles/content.

 

Just my predictions though.

I would bet so too, if it's the end tho, I guess I need to unlock my safe and bring out my old ps one for awhile lol.

 

But Im not in to the whole RDR 2, I thought RDR was boring so here comes some good old Resident Evil zombie killing fun, with some Tomb Raider 2 lol.

[Mach1bud]

Oh it's not ending, just saying I think next year we can expect things to be different than they have been in the past. As far as advertisment and update release timings go anyways.

I like your thinking. I hope you're right.

Ground fireworks returning? ;D

 

Meanwhile im still waiting on the casino to open its doors, opening soon my ***.

Does anyone know if it's legally even possible to implement that into online?

I doubt the Casino will ever be a thing. I would bet on highly requested vehicles though. Anything with the "Classic" designation behind it. The last batch of Lowriders (Peyote, Manana, Emperor). Vehicles like the Lost Slamvan, Police vehicles, etc etc. Basically anything that they can easily add (already in the game) that they can charge an arm and a leg for.

 

I would also not be surprised if one of the classic weapons return, chainsaw, flamethrower, and katana.

[riotvision]

My ESO is taking up 88GB and I don't even have Morrowind installed yet. GTA is at 66GB now? And big updates are usually around 2GB right?

[Happy Hunter]

This is true. Regarless of that though, even stock it's the best helicopter we have in game all around. Fastest, barrage missles are OP for those who know what they're doing, and it's extremely agile... even more than the Buzzard IMO.

 

Mmmm, barrage.

Considering Take-Two have committed to extending GTAO's lifespan beyond the timeframe they'd originally planned, and factoring in that R* plans for a year of content at a time, that basically means we can safely assume a decent slew of updates for the duration of 2018, at least.

 

Makes me also think that said 2018 updates don't have a fixed plan yet, since they weren't originally on the cards. Wonder what that means for where R* goes with them, particularly theme-wise - more 'luxury warlord' stuff, doubling down on that, or are they going to start looking to tick off things like untapped niches and/or community requests - ?

 

 

As for how RDR2 factors in, I imagine that it'll fit in with the usual schedule reasonably well - R* usually spends the first half of the year killing time with light filler and asset re-use (Lowriders: Custom Classics, Be My Valentine, Special Vehicle Circuit), before releasing the substantial updates later on. I guess that there'll be very light filler at best, while RDR2 gets all the attention, then maybe a month or two down the line, the first of the bigger GTAO updates will come out. I'm going to take a punt on July for next year, instead of the usual June - gives RDR2 a bit more 'breathing room'...

[Lupo-Akane]

Yup, it's a money maker.

Can't really sell the sh*t out of horses like you can cars lol, I know they may try to. But online is here for a good while...I hope lol...

Wonder if that also extends to Bahama Mamas West...?

 

That's a big piece of cut WIP content, right there - it's something people were hyped about right back before Heists came out, and it's still not happened. IMO, if R* wanted to do something memorable as this year's 'big December blowout' (like special vehicles last year, and yachts the year before), finally adding BMW (lol) would fit the bill nicely.

 

 

Also, vehicle-wise, wonder if they're going to dip into the GTA IV well again. We've already had things like the APC and Tampa - maybe we'll see the return of the likes of the PMP 600, Turismo, Sentinel, etc. - ?

Ever see Sega's Derby Owners Club.

People with notebooks full of virtual horses, buying and selling them on ebay.

Yes in rl, but it would be a little of an undertaken to do it in a game.

Different kinds of values, colors. Shades, patterns and so on....I would probably kill my boss working on such a thing...

[KingBen]

What do you guys think the last big update of the year will be?

 

My guess is they will do a big water DLC with armored boats and other water vehicles. They already did an armored land and air DLC so that would kind of make sense, no?

 

Maybe just maybe we actually get a Aircraft Carrier too. I doubt it but you never know.

 

Thoughts?

[xDatxJunkyx]

I cling to Mach's idea of a big update not pertaining to free roam that adds in many things people have been asking for.

 

Since Red dead comes in the first quarter of the year, they might give us enough toys to hold on to while they go and hype RDR 2.

Slightly up from this conversation. Nothing huge, just speculates that we will get things that the community was asking for the most.

Just give me the following and I'll be content...

 

Classic Mustang

 

Ferrari 458

 

Katana Sword

 

Flamethrower

 

Jetpack

Agreed on the vehicles, but as for weapons, I'll be shocked if they add anything that would require new character animations to use. All the melee weapons they've added have been copied and pasted from existing animations.

To be fair, they've thrown people off guard before.

 

The 60 car garages, countermeasures for aircraft, glorious Hunter - there's been a lot people didn't think would happen.

 

Also some unbelievably bad things. But surprising all the same.

[riotvision]

There is an unobtainable paint in the game called Hunter Green. They should add it with the Hunter. Does anyone think they will ever add any new paints? Speaking of paint... all this tacticool sh*t and no tacticool face paints?

There are several now that we can't purchase right? I'm sure we'll get them eventually. Along with all the different colored body armor, helmets, joggers etc. Are there different colored parachute bags too? IDK what else.

We can't buy them though, I hope they add different colors and also add them in the stores. Edited September 16, 2017 by AredTarg

Isn't the vest from the Oppressor mission another one as well?

[MGgames100]

I'd like to point out that we are at nearly 500 vehicles in the game and there are still about 80 vehicles from IV and EFLC that aren't in the game...

 

Uranus, Hakumai, Feroci, SuperGT, Turismo, Coquette, PMP600, Esperanto, Chavos, just a name of few. Why we still don't have them, but we have a Batmobile and flying f*cking bike? I'm norlt even expecting them to add all of them, just the more popular ones.

Can we at least star a petition or something? Bikers got their movement, Hunters got their movement, Tuners as well (hopefully it would be successful), why these don't?
