Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[xARMEDx]

 

 

Hopefully we will get a new rock radio station in the next update.

i kinda like excited because they probably will add PMR from the cut content, but then i think again, nah if they're adding rock stations the song will probably be 70s and 80s rock or worse the ones like the in the vbr, because the song will be cheaper to license

PMR was the beta name for VBR, if I'm not mistaken it had a similar lineup, with the the exception of a few songs that never made into the game.

 

If there's any cut radio station that I wish they would bring back, it would be that Kavinski radio station.

 

(Yes I'm aware that radio station was never a thing to begin with, but how I wish it was - kavinski would be perfect for GTA)

 

Has Kavinsky put anything else out, that's new? Haven't heard anything from him in a while I agree though about a radio station with his music.

[Non Funkable Token]

^Nothing new.

 

That supposed Nightride FM hosted by Kavinsky would be even better now, with the classic cars we are receiving since the last year. I'd love to drive my Cheetah Classic at night while listening to that station. Lovely.

The hard-on of some people about Liberty City... We don't even have the two missing islands of San Andreas and you want a map expansion of a city on the other side of the country.

It's because it already exists in HD universe.

No. But the reason people have speculated about LC is that it would be a lot less work for Rockstar to add than the other two San Andreas cities would be. Even if they just copied the original maps, every single aspect of them including the basic geometry would need reworking - and there's no way they'd do that, they would definitely make them brand new like they did with Los Santos. Ergo, that's a f*ckton of work and they're not going to do it for a free expansion (or even as a paid expansion - it's literally years of development). Liberty City already exists though; with far less massaging and updating it could be made into a viable GTA Online-ready map.

 

I don't think we're ever getting a free map expansion, truthfully, but if it happens I think LC would be by far the most likely scenario.

So Packie always lived in Los-Santos? And Lester mentioned an unknown place called "Liberty-City"?

Trouble with LC is that even reusing the GTA IV version would be a massive undertaking - the sort of thing that'd only be worth R*'s while if they were planning on a current-gen re-release of GTA IV, IMO.

And personally, I reckon R* could get a lot more meaningful mileage out of adding more functionality to existing GTA V locations - not even stuff like cutting big chunks out of the map for things like facilities (), but just taking existing buildings and adding unique interiors with new gameplay options attached.

...which was almost 5 years ago, so LC is probably all cleaned up and ready to be introduced to GTAO, lel.

technically both games were built with the same engine, so all of the assets are there

Perfect excuse to create a new revamped LC with some changes.

[DaGhostQc]

I'm sure it's that easy to transfer it to GTAO. That's a lot of money and R* showed that they're not into that. DDH was the most effort they've put in something since the original heists and it took them 3 years to come up with it and that was originally meant to be for Story Mode.

 

That effort is better off being put in GTA VI. You can only milk Los Santos for so long and it's already stretching it at this point.

I agree with your first point, was really just explaining why so many have their hopes pinned on an LC expansion. It's unlikely but it's the best chance they've got.

 

As for your second point, I think they haven't done much of that because they correctly perceive that it wouldn't be exciting to most players. New interiors are of limited appeal when 95% of our time is spent driving or flying.

[Mach1bud]

I don't think they are gonna wow the player base with anything big like that. I think their plan is to slowly let the game slowly fizzle out and die as time goes on and new games come out. I don't think there will ever be a "big bang" of a last update, I think Doomsday was it as far as that goes.

[ROCKSTAR MANIC]

Talking about proper map expansions. I would have preferred a proper Vice city first, then actually wait for proper San Andreas, all cities and country side included. "Lower Southern San Andreas and surrounding Los Santos" just doesn't fit. I mean, adding LC as a GTAO expansion would be some what difficult, coding is clusterf*ck.

again, you are assuming they have not been working on this already.

 

I would be willing to bet it was an idea with a team, maybe got put on back burner, maybe not, either way it has probably been in some form of development probably since the game came out...

do you think they will just let the 10th anniversary of IV go by? the way I see it it's not getting a mobile port, so it'll be either an Online map expansion or a Remaster of IV, either way the LC map is getting a current gen update.

Of course they won't do mobile versions of IV. They will do remastered versions for current gen with 4k support for Pro and X. It won't be a "current gen update" like GTA V got. It will just be a slightly prettier version of the exact same game, just like they did with L.A. Noire, and to a certain extent, what they did for III, VC, and SA.

They freaking better. I dont get how in the world L.A. Noire got something remastered done first than Max Payne. I love L.A. Noire and its setting, story is good. But come on, MP3 gunplay is just so good. But yeah, I expect something for IV, dont care if is just a small thing.

[SideStunt]

Even if a LC Map Expansion turns out to be a pipe dream itd be awesome if we got a GTA IV vehicle/gun/clothes pack or something. After this Tuesdays possible group release we have two more left, and if they also get dropped in the next two weeks then thats it for the dripfeed.

 

The disappearing apostrophes are driving me insane, to the point where I am just too lazy to edit my posts to add them

Personally, when i think of a map expansion of a city so large and detailed as LC, I don't think it would be doing it it's justice. I also believe it's a bit late for it anyways. I hope we get multiple cities in the next GTA though. An expansion of some smaller tropical island or something similar we could buy, however...

[Mach1bud]

I think they are gonna pull some tricky business on us, according to the Newswire, we have two adversary modes, and two race updates coming, and a Creator update thrown in somewhere.

 

We have 3 groups of vehicles left.

 

Group 1- Issi Classic, Vapid Flash GT, Sea Sparrow

Group 2- Tyrant, Dominator GTX

Group 3- Cheburek, Jester Classic, Michelli GT

 

 

We know the two race additions will be on May 1st and May 29th. So either they are gonna make May completely dry with no vehicles, or they are about to start skipping weeks. So this is how I think it is gonna play out-

 

Skip the 10th

 

April 17th- Issi Classic, Vapid Flash GT, Sea Sparrow, Adversary mode to go along with the Issi aka Italian Job.

 

Skip the 24th

 

May 1st- New Special Vehicle races, Tyrant, Dominator GTX

 

Skip the 8th

 

May 15th- Cheburek, Jester Classic, Michelli GT, the other Adversary Mode.

 

Skip the 22nd

 

May 29th- New Transform races and Creator Tools.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say "I hope you're wrong". I honestly don't think they're that stupid to do that, so personally I think it'll still be cars every week (until the end of dripfeed) and the other stuff will just be in addition to them. Why? Well, I've got absolutely no reason to believe it other than sheer hope. Maybe if I wish REALLY hard, it'll come true.

There aren't enough groups of cars to stretch out all the way until May 29th. They can't release them every week. Trust me it would be much more stupid for them to have over a month of no new cars at all.

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

 

As much as it makes "$en$e" for R* to artificially extend the dripfeed as much as possible, the only thing that could make said dripfeed tolerable was getting 2 or 3 vehicles per week.

 

This update isn't big enough (AHHHHHHH) to warrant extending it all the way to goddamn May.

 

At least give us 1 new vehicle every week or something, like in old times.

 

Ugh.

If they do release them back to back, it could mean that their use of "a full season of racing updates" in the Newswire referred to a part deux that wasn't part of the current patch but was tested at the same time. Otherwise, the rumors of a big update coming sooner than the usual June one would be true.

I suppose that is another possibility, if they release the 3 groups back to back, they can release another update on May 1st alongside the new Special Vehicle Races.

[elfoam]

I don't think they can afford to go till June on this update, it was just too poor and no one is playing or cares about the bugged cars. I'm sure they have another update ready they can push forward to fix the shark sales if they are in the can.

[Rafae]

More cars?
