Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[Mach1bud]

Trailer, announcement, screenshot, don't care what it is. Doesn't really matter tbh.

[jdv95]

i'm just preparing myself for the worst update theme wise. that way i may find some enjoyment if it is indeed CS part 100000.

 

i think that come tomorrow when the info is dropped,the reactions will be mixed at best.

[KingBen]

Who's expecting a trailer tomorrow like me? (btw at which time they release a trailer?)

If the update is only Special vehicle races 2 like many are expecting then I could totally see them waiting until the 13th to show us the trailer. Tomorrow we may get just the announcement and a screenshot of one of the new cars.

An announcement would be enough for me, a trailer would be lovely though. Trailers/announcements usually happen at 10/11am eastern.

 

Transform Races involving only the vehicles from DD... definitely sounds interesting.

 

I saw the time on they're Facebook page that they posted the Doomsday Heist trailer at 17:00-18:00 in Romania

[Nyamber]

I'm going into this update with zero hype, but I'm sure they'll still find a way to disappoint me.

[jdv95]

tomorrow might be more intresting then the update itself.

 

realy don't want to be a downer,i just want my tuner dlc.

You can't change to hover mode shortly before touching the ground anymore or the engine will just fail and you'll crash & burn

For landing the Hydra it works best if you first activate hover mode then activate fly mode again and activate hover mode again. It`s the quickest way to land. But the nerf still sucks.

I get the feeling that something big is coming in GTAO, soon.....

Its all just speculation, but didn't someone say the qabeta was updated just a few weeks after DDH was released? What if a huge update is planned, but they had to go back and rework something. Maybe they assured management it would be fixed in time for a 3-1 reveal, so they only scheduled the last event week for only one week. But, something took a little longer than anticipated, so they held off and had to scramble to figure out an event week for this week. They might have put the races as this week's event week just so it wasn't TOO obvious it was huge, and to fool everyone into thinking it was lackluster? It's probably just wishful thinking, I know..

[jdv95]

if only that would be true...

[Jackdemonzz]

I think that R * will surprise us, nobody expected something of the magnitude of Doomsday Heist in December and I end up happening, R * is a box of surprises.

if the next dlc is transform races/stunning c*nts type dlc i am taking a big break from gta -_-

 

I am fine with tuner/nautical/mansion/nightclub dlc.... i will be really happy if we get couple of more heists! will be nice to see that russian dude from DDH back.

after the annoying nerf i just get into hover mode at a slightly higher altitude and then bring the jet down...

 

out of all the broken things idk why they chose to nerf hydra landing!

Honestly sound logic (to me anyway), and I would sooooo love this to be true...but this is R* we're talking about...

[Mach1bud]

Pretty sure it's just races, cars, adversary modes.

[Piro]

Pretty sure it's just races, cars, adversary modes.

when was the last time we had dlc with only those?

 

 

hopefully they will unlock weaponized vehicles in all creator modes...

Makes sense, too - if it takes a long time to get things planned and underway for a big thing like Gunrunning, with new missions, new gimmicks, etc., that's going to take longer than just a few months (which is why in the old days, monthly updates never amounted to more than a few cars, some clothes, maybe a weapon or two... - that's pretty much all you can add with such a small development cycle).

 

But at the same time, R* can't just neglect the game for the best part of six months in the run-up to the first full update of the year - so to fill the gap, they put out something around the size of a 2013-14 update, with a handful of vehicles (possibly including old/WIP content), maybe some reskinned clothes (or not even), and some 'new' modes that make efficient use of existing assets.

 

In other words, this is just a quick and easy thing to tide players over until later in the year. Not really sure why people are expecting R* to pull another Doomsday Heist juggernaut out of the aether in just three months...

[ShadowlessDevil]

if that's the DLC it will be a disappointing one... Especially after the Doomsday DLC you'd expect them to release something amazing/

[Rafae]

^ Pretty much. This pattern of updates has been happening consistently for two full years now idk why people still think March is for substantial updates. Light updates for Spring, big ones for summer, fall and winter.

it's not just that,it's that 2017 was the same core thing after the other. with this being a new year and therefore a new cycle for rockstar i thought and hoped that they would kick things off with yes a small update but atleast something new. no one is realisticly expecting something huge like a december update,but just something fresh.

 

right now theres a 99% chance that it's the 4t/5th stunt race stuff with yet again meme vehicles at the centre.

 

and i understand that they need time to make new big updates,but if that is what their thought process was when adding last march vehicle circuit,only to come up with the same (military themed) updates afterwards for the rest of that year,then how boring will 2018 be? the fact that they start the new year with yet another rehashed overused core is kinda putting the hopes down.

 

atleast a small street race update would have been a fresh take on the racing theme.

I don't think they work on updates 1 at a time though. Smuggler's Run was fairly big and it came out just a couple of months after Gunrunning did. I don't really think you can draw a correlation between March and small updates from only 2 past DLCs in March. Let's not forget the original heist DLC was in March and that was big as well. They are capable of switching it up on us any time. Long story short, they could do anything.

[Mach1bud]

Old gen updates are irrelevant when talking about current gen updates imo.

[Rafae]

^ Heists was a completely different story as well as The Business Update a year before that. It makes sense for Rockstar to release a filler update in March while they work on bigger stuff for the rest of the year.

somebody mentioned it last week, I thought. Seemed to be about Tuesday/Wednesday-ish. I don't have steam, so I wouldn't know where/how to look. Besides, that's why I said, "DIDN'T somebody say?" Ill comb my way back through this thread tonight, after work. I'm certainly not staking my forum membership on it, I'm just making a guess with info that I've slowly been gathering.
