Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[lowriderlife63]

The dripfeed will be a huge drag if it does extend all the way through late May, looking forward to getting the GTX though. Other than that I still think this image of LC is either Gta 4 remastered for current gen or a glimpse of how LC will look in Gta Online.

If we do get a lc map extension I don’t think I would care if updates ended. Just that map alone bring plenty of fun. My favorite gta so far was gta if tbogt.

That was pretty much confirmed to be just rumors. Those Premium Editions were only listed for PS4 and Xbox One, what about PC? Also, Kotaku's article said, from their sources, that it's just a fully patched/DLC'd game with the Criminal Enterprise pack included.

The photo posted above is not a mod, it was found in an ex Rockstar employee's portfolio.

I'm down for a part 2.

 

Means more fun and varried vehicles (without glitches) and maybe even a demolition derby race mode.

[Non Funkable Token]

Are the races they want to add on May in the current files?

I don't think so. The adversary modes are though.

The pic is for real, but we have no idea what it means. Rockstar could have been just testing new assets and textures on the LC map for whatever reason. Or he might have done it on his own strictly for the portfolio.

 

...or they could have worked on updating LC for GTA Online. Who knows?

[FuturePastNow]

I could easily imagine R* releasing a remastered version of GTA IV. They have been remastering older games in recent years, after all. And if they did that, they could leverage that work into an expansion for V or just a map expansion for online. It's about the only kind of DLC they could force us to pay real money for.

You can't split the player base over a map expansion... Those who don't pay would just see people floating around? The whales are paying for everyone else, so even tho I highly doubt we'll ever see a map expansion, it wouldn't cost anything.

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 really hope they don't skip weeks - I'd prefer a single car every week to no cars at all some weeks.

 

But if they do, I hope the 'off' weeks feature really good money making bonuses and discounts.

Yeah I think a GTA IV Remaster is absolutely inevitable. The question is how they'd handle GTA IV online though. Omitted entirely? Rolled into GTA V Online somehow? An exact replica of the original GTA IV Online? Edited April 9, 2018 by AStiffBreeze

IIRC correctly, the only game that they actually remastered was L.A. Noire. GTA SA was just a port of the mobile version.

 

IMHO, unless GTA Online becomes Rockstar's WoW, I can't imagine they releasing a map expansion.

Off topic of speculation, first time I've ever come across someone modding a lobby on PS4, dropping huge stunt track objects all over LSC and the map. Anyone hear of something recent allowing this?

It's not modding lmao. There's no modders on PS4. They're doing the director mode glitch. Edited April 9, 2018 by Azaan60

Well... it kinda is Rockstart's Wow at this point, right? But I do agree - map expansion is way overdue if you ask me.

No... you just playing the game the way it was meant to be played in the first place They just heavily downgraded it so you could run it on last gen consoles as well (call it "beta version" or "downgraded port")

 

And later they released polished "full versions" for Pc/current gen.

 

You want proof? Just compare first gtaV trailer to lastgen and nextgen. (and I'm not even mentioning all those DLC vehicles in that trailer...)

 

So we still might get a remastered version at some point in future.

 

 

 

Imagine a dlc that makes the world look like this:

 

 

 

 

Considering that the game performs about the same as vanilla, it would be too far fetched to ask for something like that.

Or at least they could add new weather or something...

I agree, GTA V was released on Old Gen, at the same time PS4/XB1 were released, so it's kinda obvious that they were working on the current gen version as well.

[Rafae]

It was still a remaster when it released. You can't prove Rockstar were working on it the entire time, even before the PS3/360 versions were released.

I Know, it's just a logical thinking, to me at least. I mean, every GTA to date was released first on a platform, then later on the others,having better graphics and more features: 3, VC, SA, IV. The same thing with V.

[Rafae]

V on PS4/Xbox One/PC was a remaster of V on PS3 and 360, not a completely new game on a different platform.

[Piro]

Well ofc they called that "remastered version". Why wouldn't they? it's marketing after all... its technically still a remaster, I know that.

 

But its just like saying that those "day 1 dlcs" are actual DLCs... Yes, you might call that "dlc" if you want (since you have to download those) but we all know its just the base game cut in to pieces so they can sell that as "extra content" and "exclusives for consoles".

 

And I don't have to prove anything to you... Thats how all games work... You make something look good and later you downgrade it and optimize it so it could be run and sold on current consoles (since those are cash cows)

 

 

Heres a VERY simplified example:

> you place 200 trees in Paleto Bay

> they make a trailer to build up the hype (using those "next gen" graphics so everything looks RLY nice)

> they say that the game doesn't run well enough on consoles so now you have to remove 90% of those trees from paleto bay, just to get some extra FPS.

 

Now if they want you to make a remastered version later on - will you place those trees all over again, one buy one? Or will you simply load an old save file where everything is in place the way it was (before that console trimming) ?

 

Yeah, thats my point... GTAV was made right between lastgen/currentgen. It's obvious they worked on both versions.

IDK why but I've really been obsessing over seeing their take on a new city...and for some reason its San Fierro. All I could ask for is San Fierro and doing something cool with the Casino.

Two days ago I saw a taxi in freemode and it gave me the option of getting in and going somewhere.

I haven't seen taxis in a very very long time...I'm not aware of any missions involving taxis so in pretty sure it was either weird sh*t going on or meant to be there.

They indeed do exist but obv fast travel isn't available in Online so you have to sit through the whole ride. Pretty sure you can call one up from your phone too.

[Krispy2396]

I don't wanna speculate but I'm sincerely sure the Sea Sparrow is a hint for the next update.

 

50/50 in my feeling we are now able to touch the ocean for the new freeroam business.
