Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[joel15cat]

I repat again, since I/E all the annoucements, including RDR2, were made on Thursdays. Unless it's a surprise update, now I think most likely that the update will come on the 20th.

[Lonely-Martin]

Lol @ Dominsexality and Max el Loco.

 

Top form!.

Could some posters please, please, please stop murdering the English language!

And to just to clarify, the 'rules' of physics are a hell of a lot weirder than any of you think, quantum tunneling, consciousness collapse and the 'many worlds' interpretation. Niels Bohr is turning in his grave.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

Should we be expecting anything today?

If we do get anything it wont be for a few hours yet

suuure lets throw in theoretical physicists in to discussion about gta cars...

 

I bet Niels dead body is soooo upset.

I will pay them 10 bucks if they release the trailer today

I got 5 on it

[Sunny_D]

Something seems very fishy... which one are they gonna announce first ?

 

Premium edition? or DLC? I think its very odd.

 

Before the doubters come and say some dumb sh*t no one knows what the Premium edition is but my speculation is its a DLC thats still my cup of tea.

or both

People sometimes also put military vehicles and WW2 aircrafts in that "meme category" bag... Why would I care what other people define as "meme vehicles" when its not even a real thing?

 

the only definition for a meme vehicle is "mmmm I don't know how to call it so I gonna call it meme vehicle cuz I don't like it"

Meme vehicle are not the ones that are OP, or are military etc. I have nothing agains military vehicles, but I'd rather not see anymore of them for a long time. Those are the vehicles that don't have any right to exist irl let alone work like they do in the game, so basically: every flying car/bike with missiles and/or mounted machine guns and rocket powered vehicles (jets are obviously an exeption)

 

I like nostalgic vehicles from 80s TV shows cause imo nothing fits to gta more then that. If you want to add weaponized vehicles - thats the way to do it.

They dont fit the atmosphere of GTA series let alone HD Era.

>inb4 SA had jetpack argument

It was non armed, didnt had missiles or guns aboard and you couldn't get it for doing nothing. Show me other crazy vehicles that defines the laws of physics in any of the vehicles from the series (other than V).

 

-snip-

 

In short, I think things like the Deluxo and Oppressor are right at home in GTA Online, and that a lot of players have misidentified the GTA series. Maybe because they're selfish, maybe because they haven't experienced it enough. I dunno.

 

Absolutely, to be honest I think those who say "yuck it's saint's row" or "yuck more meme cars" only remember GTA IV which was uncharacteristically 'serious' for a GTA game (good game still) granted maybe GTA Online is slightly more wacky that some of it's predecessors, but it's how GTA has always been..

Rockstar should listen to the shareholders... and guess who shareholders listen to? Where the money comes from

Lmao this is the worst take I've seen in this thread to date, why the hell would any person in their right mind want developers to listen to shareholders?

They're the people who literally never touch the actual games and only look to serve themselves. Only listening to shareholders is basically the definition of selling out.

I think he means us, the community as a whole who pay for the games.

[jdv95]

well if they should only listen to the shareholders who listen to the community (that's how i understood that post) then they should add a tuner update already. it is by far (besides a map expansion) the most requested update for a long time now. thus the biggest profit maker.

 

case closed.

Damm it no trailer??!!!!

It's very naive to think that the shareholders care what the customers think - we're just dollar signs to them. If it was entirely down to the shareholders, every decision would be solely about the return on investment with no care for how much the players enjoy it, just how much they are prepared to pay for it. Despite the complaints about Shark cards, Rockstar leave a lot of monetisation on the table out of respect for the playerbase. For example, GTAO could have a recurring subscription fee, and paid expansions, and vehicles purchasable only with a Shark card, and loot crates purchasable only with a Shark card that randomly unlock upgrades and paint colours for those vehicles. It would drive away players, but those who are left are paying sufficiently more for it to be worthwhile. From a shareholder perspective, the current monetisation of GTAO is incredibly lax and I suspect they're mainly kept happy by the ongoing sales of the game.

I think GTA IV was more a case of having clever or ironic humour. Thinking back on it, despite its serious tone, characters like Brucie and Bernie/Florian were comedy gold. Other characters such as Roman (overly sexual), Badman (extreme language barrier), Manny (cringe-worthy and self-important hypocrite), Gay Tony, and Mori Kibbutz all had moments as well. Or, possibly the most notable, the uber-serious Ray Bulgarin dancing with an AK-47 to metal riffs. I think the light-hearted stuff is all there. Games like Saints Row or GTA V just tend to shove all the comedy in your face. It's like comedy for slow people, in a way.

 

On-topic: I'm holding my horses today. I have a strong gut feeling that nothing's gonna surface before Tuesday or even Thursday. I don't really see why R* would tease us with anything today. It seems rather untraditional of them to do that on a Friday.

[Dacelo]

If Rockstar listened to shareholders then all that would get added would be concept supercars and meme vehicles for the rest of time, we'd never see another single player GTA again and 90% of stuff would be locked behind a shark card purchase.

 

Shareholders are absolutely not the best people to listen to, and this attitude that Rockstar becoming a money grubbing company that's throwing away all its integrity is somehow a good thing 'because companies need to earn money!!' is so dumb. Obviously Rockstar is always going to be influenced by its shareholders. That's a given, but taking in fan feedback will always be a good thing unless you want the series to become truly sh*t.

Announcement today or surprise update on the 13th.

 

One of the two will happen:

Every fiscal quarter take two interactive, who in layman's terms are rockstar's bosses have to give a financial report on profits and yada. So long as shareholders are happy which is when they make money but when the profit margins drop or even go negative they freak out and someone's job is on the line, either the CEO or whoever the CEO can succeed in a charisma check to put the blame on.

 

So if the shareholders see that this fiscal quarter the net profits were say half of last quarters then heads will roll. They may be lenient on whoever takes the blame for one fiscal quarter but no one who cares about their jobs wants to be written up.

 

How does the rockstar branch of take two make their profits? Until rd2 and their version of microtransactions I'd be surprised if the bulk was not from Shark cards. So in order for a business like r* and take two to be profitable and shareholders and ceo and everybody else to be happy and not worried about their jobs and their livelihoods and for the continued support of the GTA online game experience. Sell them shark cards? How do they do So? Supply and demand. They get something people are willing to pay real money for and put it out there.

 

If shark cards weren't a thing and the game was paid dlc the content additions probably wouldn't last passed 2015. The game is still getting updates because updates sell shark cards and the more stuff people want that theyll open their irl wallets for the better.

 

This isn't selling out this is business. Sony does this, Microsoft does this, fox news, CNN, apple, netflix, and even your local grocery store all do this.

 

Edit: I don't remember who but at least one member of the forums has posted that he owns stock in Take Two. Every fiscal quarter or so he gets a check from take two with his share of the profits. You can go to your local stock exchange and buy shares as well. It's a publicly traded business. And if you own enough shares you can be in those shareholder conference meeting and stare take two's CEO in the eye and tell him you want a flying dildo bike that shoots wads of acid at mach speed at meme vehicles and so long as enough shareholders don't challenge you the next update will have flying dildo bikes

I can imagine R* added the gigahorse from Mad Max Fury road!

 

I'd rather the OG Max Interceptor, last of the V8s, or even Nux's '34 Chevy Coupe. Both with customisations that allow for standard designs, or all out, Shiny and Chrome.

[Dacelo]

If shark cards weren't a thing and the game was paid dlc the content additions probably wouldn't last passed 2015.

And we'd all be playing GTA 6 by now. Unfortunately instead we have GTAO that's still filled with cheaters that have been around since it launched on PC 3 years ago with no fix in sight and is the reason we never saw GTA 5 SP DLC lol

[Scottiedog123]

 

Damm it no trailer??!!!!

to early.

 

give it a couple more hours.

Or a couple more weeks... Instead of getting hyped up, I personally get frustrated by the lack of communication, I don't enjoy the dlc anywhere near as much as I would if I was getting excited and planning my next moves in the game. By the time we are told anything it's too late for excitement to beat down the frustration/disappointment, a couple of screenshots or a pathetic blink and you'll miss it trailer is just too little too late. They should be sharing their plans with us and communicating with us more as to the future of the game, blah blah I'm boring myself now just thinking about this nonsense, give up the goods R*

We are in a capitalist society where no one tells you how or where to spend your money. And through the wallet is the only way to get change..

 

And by playing the game to begin with you're still supporting them because those shareholder meetings also cover the server traffic.

 

But no it takes years to make a game and anyone with common sense can tell you they've been working on it for years now. Child Online Daycare has the next 3 games in development right now.

Next week it is then

i really rockstar should communicate more like what they are working on or when we can expect next dlc or something , they just dont communicate with the community that made gta online successful

[IceDree]

Well today is the last hope for team "dlc on 13th"

 

If nothing is announced today then I'm guessing trailer on 13th and dlc on 20th.

Not necessarily, Lowriders Custom Classics was announced on a Monday ... The day before the dlc came out.

Exactly.

 

If nothing comes today they could just announce it on Monday or just not announce it all. If the update is a filler update with the theme being races they could just drop it on Tuesday with the trailer.
