Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[Hector Tavares]

Set the bar low guys. You don't want to be disappointed in case it's a small update.

[Scruffyauto9]

If they ever do a map expansion, (which I don't see as likely) I hope they'd do it as a seperate map. You drive to LSIA, pay for a boarding pass, get on a plane (leaving behind your weapons and all your cars,) and fly back to LC. Then, you start out with just whatever money and level you have. They can keep all the weaponized vehicles out of LC, for those who don't want them, and they can go back to "the good old days" of GTAO. And, for those of us that do like our milspec stuff, we can keep puttering around Sandy Shores in halftracks. Everybodys happy.

God mode lol can't relate

 

I'm chillin in my solo lobbies forever

 

I like being on passive mode, clicking on 'Jerk' all too often, lol.

 

Anyway, for me. This DLC really is about the garage space, as much as gameplay this time. They add gameplay without, the game will fizzle out quick for me now. As much as I love DDH, it's not as appealing as the old heists still are for me. Unless the address many issues with DDH, it's not as fun as the old one's as they are just too strong for so many. (Granted, many are just sh*t, but combined with the bugs, it makes for a nightmare more than the original ones do).

 

I'm hopeful, but see reason behind a 'lighter' DLC too. Really longing to just know garages are coming, lol.

I don't expect a large DLC just three months after a large DLC. Rockstar does like their surprises, though, so I don't have any idea what to expect.

 

The nostalgia trip with vehicle releases will surely continue, at least.

[Mach1bud]

I expect good cars.

Doomsday Heist didn't get leaked, Gunrunning didn't get any meaningful leaks either.

I expect good cars.

and hopefully they aren't last in the dripfeed for ones.

[SaveTheZombies]

I love the range of speculation with this update. Everything from "we're just getting some new cars and hats" to "we're getting Liberty City and going bowling with Nico."

I think its funny how ppl think a racing update is the usual march update lol. Last year was literally the first small march "filler" update, and the first march racing update. 2016 was the Lowriders Custom Classics, 2015 was the Massive Heists update, and 2014 was the Business update (very meaty for its time). Cunning Stunts v1 was a summer update. Im speculating a nice sized update, whether its cunning stunts styled, Midnight Club styled, or something different. But im still feelin that R* is gonna continue to suprise us with fan requested content. Including tuners, muscle, and street racing. They have been consistently at the top of multiple fan polls for months now.

 

Makes sense to me. Both sides of the argument on how big the update will be make sense, based on past experiences. For all we know, the next update could be as big as the Doomsday Heist, or it could be just one car, like Festive Surprise 2015.

[⁣V⁣]

I'd rather see characters from gtaIV then cars from that game tbh.

 

I'm more nostalgic about cars from older GTA games I guess...

 

 

but seeing Little Jacob, Yusuf Amir maybe even Niko? That would be refreshing.

 

edit:

So it seems we have two teams:

 

team "Its gonna be the biggest dlc ever. Map expansion!"

 

and team "Smallest dlc in years. Races and maybe couple cars"

Doubt they can gather the voice actors from 10 years ago plus complicate their storylines.

Would love to see some back, to be honest.

 

Also, thinking a Map expansion coming in Q1, after Doomsday, no less is delusional. Especially with qabeta being updated two weeks before release.

(think that's how you measure an update, by it's time spent in qabeta)

 

Ever since last year I get the impression that they're doing it just because they're obliged to fulfil the quarter's requirements, not because it would be a good addition to the game.

And ever since Gunrunning they're sticking to one vehicle per week with the exception of pre-update week (and Christmas), so would it be normal to assume we'll recive more than expected? As in to release one each week until Summer's Juggernaut?

 

That's looking at 12-15 cars depending on the amount available from the go.

I guess the question is what everyone considers to be "big" for an update.

 

Like, I'd call Gunrunning a big update, because it introduced some new gameplay elements- the MOC, upgrades to military style vehicles that would have just been in Pegasus before, upgrades to weapons.

 

Smuggler's Run... I'd say largely just copied pre-existing mechanics with a new skin on them. I don't think it added any new gameplay, so I wouldn't call it a large update on that basis.

 

This is too nit-picky though so I'll stop.

[Zarpy]

Gonna be such a bummer if there is no trailer tomorrow after all the hype lmao

[jdv95]

at this point,i'll be happy with just a few pics.

 

i want this uncertainty to be over.

It really doesnt matter if they give us a trailer tomorrow or not. The DLC is coming next week.

 

Theres a chance they just announce it tomorrow or Friday and the trailer drops the same day as the update.

[elfoam]

Well it's great to see the thread back !

[CarimboHanky]

Less than 24 hours to go

Don't be surprised if there is no announcement

FIXED!

Its very unlikely that they wouldnt at least announce it. A trailer is a whole different story. I dont see it being a surprise update though.

[Nutduster]

I love the range of speculation with this update. Everything from "we're just getting some new cars and hats" to "we're getting Liberty City and going bowling with Nico."

 

Rockstar has effectively plugged all the leaks and most of the speculation is based on next to nothing except gut feelings and reading tea leaves. The only thing I find surprising is how certain some folks seem to be of what the update will be like and when it's coming exactly. The information is so limited and the previous spring updates have been all over the place in terms of content (it's a small sample size anyway - Rockstar can and will break from their alleged pattern whenever they feel like it).

 

I expect nothing in particular and am just hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

I love them.

I love them like they were a drug addicted girlfriend, in this analogy the drugs are making money with the least amount of effort possible. Many are riding high after Doomsday Heist, as I am, I definitely showed that R* can put together one hell of an update. I'd just like to point out that despite it being refreshing, DH is definitely the exception and not the rule. For such a capable game dev I would just like it if the utilized and displayed that level of ambition and quality more often. How hard could it really be to put together a GOOD MC/street racing style DLC instead of just yet another lazy meme race pack with the bare minimum of new vehicles to get players to consider logging on. We know they have a backlog of already finished vehicles waiting in the wings, we give them a constant stream of ideas via wishlisting for cars alone not to mention bikes, aircraft, boats and mil vehicles (sorry, but I still want an M1 Abrams/F-14 and Warthog..). Really now, how much effort, motivation and resources could it really cost them the double or even triple their output of highly requested vehicles? We all know they'd make an absolute killing if they did, honestly, the only reason I can think of is laziness and greed Edited March 11, 2018 by AUScowboy

[Wastelander (Suzuki)]

If it's a naval DLC/update, I better get my F-14 Tomcat.

Real talk, if we do get an F-14 I might never be seen on the ground again. I will fly that thing till the wings fall off.

all i know (and i'm sure most people on here know aswell) that for some reason rockstar didn't/doesn't want to make a full tuner update according to rockstar fa**ot. why that is i will never understand and know. it's not that they dislike tuners since they have a entire game series about streetracing,they have added it in other gta games before ,san andreas even had NOS (i hope that will be added aswell if a tuner would ever come) they have no reason at all to not make an update like that. heck they even already have a special custom shop for that stuff (benny) and as explained before the dupes can not be a reason to ignore him. they also already have the contact for such an update (hao) and the elegy retro sold like hot cakes so lack of profit is not an issue either.

[Tez2]

They stopped updating the Background script, they are most likely busy with the new update.

This is a sign that the new update is ready for release any time soon as it receives the highest priority from them.

I could be wrong.

Real optimistic there, but I hope you're right though for what its worth

*drool*

 

Can I add an F22, Typhoon, F35, Sukhoi T-50, A-10A Thunderbolt 2, SU range, complete with liveries etc to that list? I know some folk want Mustangs etc but I know what I'm after

 

Anyway, back on topic. Announce the DLC R*!

F-14 for Pilots, a few classic Ford Mustangs for people on the ground, and a 71 Mach 1 for Bud

It's not laziness, the people who decide what content is coming in a certain DLC are not the same people who model those contents.

You're right, they have a lot of already finished vehicles waiting to be released, blocked by logical marketing.
