Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[Biter]

 

 

I think the usual December update will be the first DLC for RDRO.

HAHAHAHAHA

If you think that R* is going to favor RDR over GTA that month, you're clearly mistaken.

GTA is their biggest cash cow. They've been releasing big updates for the past 3 Decembers in a row for it, and they won't stop until they announce GTA VI.

 

 

 

Said this before, but I could care less what the next theme is as long as the cars are good again.

As long as they don't dripfeed boring sh*t like planes, helis or boats without any special features, I don't care what we get either.

 

Only cars should be dripfed, nothing else

 

Smugglers Run dripfeed felt like an eternity since the only worthwhile stuff was near the butt end of it.

I would say that the only substantial difference between cars and unarmed planes in terms of entertainment would be a metter of personal preference, and it would be a bit extreme to objectively define it as "boring sh*t". If I may ask, why do you believe that cars are the only vehicles that should be added as dripfeed content?

 

You don't think getting 7 planes in a row is boring?

They had the most interesting stuff like the Nokota, Vigilante, and Hunter at the absolute end.

 

Some of those planes weren't even weaponized! Or were pure sh*t in the Bombuskov's case

 

Cars meanwhile there is something for every one, especially in Doomsday's case.

Most players don't care for aircraft. And it shows. Release them all at the start then dripfeed cars to fill the gap between DLCs

To be honest I don't really see the issue of getting unarmed aircrafts, even during dripfeed. Objectively speaking, getting new unarmed aircrafts that look and perform differently than the old ones is not different from getting new and unarmed land vehicles that look and perform differently.

In addition, as far as I've seen, the majority of the people here have actually been complaining about the huge amount of military content we've recently, which would make unarmed aircrafts a pretty welcomed addition.

I also disagree about how a vehicle's position in the dripfeed order should affect its popularity, as many of the very first vehicles released (including the Mogul and the Bombushka) were actually some of the most heavily advertised, and the overpriced but easily available in FZ P-996 Lazer has most likely not been a huge success while being the very last vehicle.

Finally, whether or not the majority (or a large amount) of the playerbase cares about new aircrafts is something that's not easy to estabilish but as far I've seen, Smuggler's Run didn't really receive many complaints when It came to vehicles (other than the inclusion of some of the most iconic ones as part of the dripfeed, that is).

 

More of any type of vehicle is just polishing a turd of a game now. To start making the game better again they need to start removing the very vehicles that have ruined it.

Why is everyone so sure that R* will upload a trailer. They can easily make a bigger newswire with update stuff and maybe RDR2 news tied into, so they don't need to bring a trailer since the update will be smaller anyway.

Because the playlist was updated on 12.02.2018

[jdv95]

I wouldn't bet On a trailer but a picture and Some small amount of info could be possible today.

[agent_asshole]

well u guys shouldn't act like an update on the 6th with a trailer today/tomorrow is impossible.

I'm kind of torn

 

arguments for the 6th:

the event week lasts until the 5th. they usually just stretched the last event week to two weeks.

they need to start another event week next week with nothing new to announce.

also, the fact that the 6th would mean only 84 days between two updates can be overseen as they dropped so many dripfeed cars during the holidays, more than ever before.

+ trailer playlist updated two weeks ago.

 

arguments for the 13th:

qabeta hasn't been updated yet, and 91 days would have been elapsed since doomsday.

With the currents events and discounts ending on the 5th, my fingers are certainly crossed for a trailer today (and for that trailer to contain a HUGE garage )

[Verbal Soze]

When the trailer doesn't show up today

 

but i still do hope it will drop this week, the trailer i mean not the update

 

or the next week...

 

[its no tv sketch]

we haven't seen the double money on new heists event week yet. so no dlc on the 6th.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

Someone expecting a trailer today like me?

Rockstar employees probably can't get too work right now lol

[Gridl0k]

Anyone happen to know offhand the gap between the previous dripfeed emptying and the announcement of the next DLC?

[jdv95]

Anyone happen to know offhand the gap between the previous dripfeed emptying and the announcement of the next DLC?

It has varied.

 

But mostly alteast 1 week after the last dripfeed.

 

(Don't make a fool of me if i'm wrong,my memory isn't the best.)

[WillProx]

Its gonna be so great if they'll release the trailer today. It gonna indicate, am i need to grind very-very hard, or... not so hard.

[Nyamber]

I'm not hoping for a trailer today. Next week seems more likely to me.

[thepiebaker]

Anyone happen to know offhand the gap between the previous dripfeed emptying and the announcement of the next DLC?

Since they started drip feeding it's been on average a week.

Between gun and smugglers it was the very next week

Between smugglers and doomsday it was 2 or 3 weeks.

[Dacelo]

Anyone happen to know offhand the gap between the previous dripfeed emptying and the announcement of the next DLC?

10 days. Nov. 28 the Lazer was released, Doomsday Heist was announced on the seventh of December then released on the 11th.

[JackTheMojo]

It seems a tunables update just happened.

Edited March 1, 2018 by JackTheMojo

[Gridl0k]

So most likely a blank week (event but no car, obv) next week then announcement Thurs/Fri.

 

Well most likely is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but that's a fair starting point.

What time of the day trailers usually get released? 5PM for UK?

[0wn996]

Yup, late afternoon.

Check back after dinner and you'll either be watching the trailer or you'll know it's gonna be another week.

[HamwithCheese]

Nah, not today. Next week or the week after that. I speculate the next update will be ill gotten gains 3, because we made soooo much money off of doomsday.

 

(I didnt because I skipped all the prep missions)

[TomN94]

Just turn on tweet notifications for Rockstar, get a notice the moment anything goes live then!

[Dr.Rosenthal]

The event week ends the 5th, and usually that means something is happening the day after. I also don't think they'd announce another event week with different bonuses and what have you with nothing new to announce, that would be a little weird..

 

On the other hand, I think it's a bit too early still for the new DLC and would have expected it to land the 13th (and this event week(s) to last up until the 12th).

 

If there's a release on the 6th we should have an announcement today. Also it should be expensive stuff since we've gotten rebates, 2x on bunker sales, and the DD heists recently.

 

But all this is of course just speculation.

 

(Oh, and just a few words on RDO contra GTAO; they most definitely won't cut support for GTAO because RDR2 releases. They won't as long as GTAO is making huge profit. And RDR2 won't be nearly as big as GTAV - won't sell as many copies that is. It will, however, sell far more copies than RDR did. I also don't think I'll be inclined to spend as much time in the Wild West online as I have in LS and Blaine County, but who knows? But to me Red Dead feels like more of a single player immersive experience, and GTA more of a competitive/sandbox/anything can happen-type of experience. I did enjoy playing Red Dead Redemption online though, and I believe I will enjoy Red Dead Online just as much.)

[Cavot]

I'm assuming they'll put all/most of the Doomsday Heist content on discount and make Doomsday 2x Money/RP for a week. I'm not getting my hopes up for a trailer this week.

[symphonight]

talking about that. I don't think red dead can bring this much money to R*.. in GTA they can charge us with a lot of car and expensive proto/military stuff and propriety (complex, house, hangar, etc.) But, in red dead.. I don't see this happening, what will they release? a new horse every week? There is no vehicle (expert the 2 car in the one, and one is militarised (would could be fun online hahaha.) But .. I mean.. I think they know that this game will not bring this much money in micro transaction. So GTAO will continue to rise (or fall is there is more meme vehicle.)

[bebay123]

trailer maybe released today...but QABeta has yet to be updated

[Defca]

Looking at how they implemented Transform Races before the release of Crew 2, would be really funny to see Sea of Thieves gameplay elements (as new Naval Heists) before M$' release))

[Doyen5]

I really hope new dlc information or a trailer drops today/tomorrow and maybe dlc releases next week Friday. I keep hearing players saying the dlc may not come for another 2 weeks, l shrink with sadness. We just need something to be hyped about

trailer maybe released today...but QABeta has yet to be updated

I have a theory that they were working on a different dlc when doomsday heist came out because it fills like content that was already in production a while back. so they maybe be ready and might not update the beta since it maybe have already been tested

[Wscratch]

Seems weird to me that we have unreleased content in this dlc

First time it happens

were are those leaked liveries by foxysnap?

Are we still waiting for something with this dlc? St patrick?

[symphonight]

Speculation here about the livery. they're all the same. so.. may with the mod menu to spawn them, it "allow" the game to put every livery on every vehicle that could have one? (and this is why the comet, revolter, etc could have the Xmas livery.) Seem to be the more probable.

The problem is that some liveries has never been released

Like the skulls one , or the rockstar one , or the scotish one.....

[CoolBean]

How about an announcement for GTA IV anniversary remaster today? Nearly every time we try and predict whats going to happen the opposite does.
