Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[CarimboHanky]

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.

 

,:.:,

it wont be a new thing tho

 

we already touch the ocean with the current businesses, specially the crates business.

The thought of a map expansion for a game nearly 5 years old borders on absurd. The amount of work that would require at this stage...

[Defca]

After reading all the stuff about this new business i see it like this:

1. You fool around and suddenly seeing an airdrop or armored truck on minimap (thats why we have it back on IM). You pick it up.

2. All other CEO's (or whatever the name will be) will recieve a message like "cargo X is located, feel free to go there and grab it", where cargo can be anything (a vehicle, crate, weed box), and this stuff becomes similar to DDH prep mission.

3. Maybe there will be a timer for others to come to you (trying to connect that "Pinned In" stuff here), but maybe not.

The ground with Gunrunning.

The sky with Smuggler's Run.

He misses the sea!

Oh they totally would start stretching the drip... DAMMIT. I want want muh Sparrow and Flash GT!

The thought of a map expansion for a game nearly 5 years old borders on absurd. The amount of work that would require at this stage...

first it is 4 and a half.

 

and second, why does everyone think they have not been working on the LC map already?

 

I would be willing to bet it has been in some form of development since 2013, now maybe the idea was dropped somewhere along the way, and maybe it was never picked up again and we won't ever get it, but I would put money it had a dev team at some point, probably starting in 2013.

 

so even if it was dropped, picking it back up and spending some of the literally billions in revenue on finishing it is not at all far fetched...

[Dr.Rosenthal]

 

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.

Lol, people floating around? How did you come to that conclusion? If there was a map expansion, Im pretty sure the game would let us choose between either being in LS & Blaine County OR go to LSIA, walk into a yellow corona and be prompted to travel to another city, such as an updated Liberty City. We could also have a choice to move vehicles to Liberty City, or back again, that way R* could monetize on new vehicle purchases since most of us would want the same vehicles in both cities. At least if I was a game developer thats how Id do it.

 

Also, why do some people think that we wont get a map expansion because they wouldnt start building it 5 years into the game lifecycle? Thats the weirdest argument. See, if there is a map expansion theyve probably been working on it for years. Simple as that. Of course they wouldnt START building it NOW.

 

R* have explicitly stated that theyd like all GTA cities within the same universe, and for the player to be able to travel between them. Yes. So theres that. Also it seems like players want it too.

 

But it would without a doubt be much easier for them to implement two different maps that the player can jump between, rather than build onto the current one. Im not a developer or software engineer but even I can understand that tinkering with the old map would be a huge pain in the ass and would probably be very problematic.

 

Just as people suggesting they add new islands with properties, dont you realize what huge amount of work it would be to remodel the entire seabed around those islands? Or are you just suggesting they should float without being connected to the seabed?

 

Anyway. Just my 2 cents atm.

Building on GTA V:O would be a terrible idea coding wise. They'd be forever stuck with the mess that V currently is and they'd have to deal with a new city on top of it, with more stuff that would need to be specific to the new place to make it interesting, otherwise it would just be Los Santos 2.0. They're struggling enough as it is with one city filled with bugs and endless glitches.

 

Adding a whole map like Liberty City that needs to be fully reworked (not as easy as people make it sound) is a lot of work and a lot of money to put into a 5 years old game. What I mean by floating around is that it couldn't be on the same physical map if it's a paid expansion... People who paid would see it and not the others?

 

Why bother put that much effort in V when they're making half a billion every year with just new vehicles and some lazy copy/paste businesses? At this point, I just want to be done with LS, I want a new GTA, a new city (or even revamped Vice City) and move on from what I consider to be the Fast & Furious 15 of GTAs.

Hopefully the new facility/bunker upgrade comes with more garage space - I really wanted to buy the Dominator Sturgis and the Jupiter this time, but I don't have any room for them...

Nearly 5 years is pretty damn close to 4.5...

 

They weren't expecting Online to be as sucessful as it is... Why on earth would they start working on something that big that early when they weren't even sure if Online was going to work at all?

 

Take Two's shareholders have those billions... not R*...

[Chris Liberty]

Près de 5 ans est sacrément proche de 4,5 ...

 

Ils ne s'attendaient pas à ce que Online soit aussi efficace qu'elle l'est ... Pourquoi diable auraient-ils commencé à travailler sur quelque chose d'aussi important au début, alors qu'ils ne savaient même pas si Online allait fonctionner?

 

Les actionnaires de Take Two ont ces milliards ... pas R * ...

 

 

The departure of The Benz has probably changed a lot of things. And I think that's why the DLC was canceled. Some work had to belong to The Benz.

The departure of Leslie L.The Benz had to change a lot of things. There was surely work that Rockstar could not reuse without having to pay L.The Benz. Hence the cancellation of the DLC.

I agree, adding a new city it's almost like releasing a whole new online game, it's not only "remaster" the city, they would need to put a lot of stuff to make it interesting, create new supplies and crates missions, create like 100 new contact missions (probably new characters too), etc,etc...

Looks like a lot of effort at this point.

Keep dreaming. And “nearly 5 years” and “4 and a half” are interchangeable, come on now.

I'll just be happy to get vehicles tomorrow, won't be shocked if they start skipping weeks now that there are so few vehicles remaining in the dripfeed.

Might be the reason he thinks it's a hint.. Im going by what fun said back in 2016... That map expansion was real at once but may be scrapped or ya know 10th anniversary. It was mighty real I dont get why people saying its not happening or whatever and just like one of yall said R* couldve been working on it this whole time.

[carnerd3000]

I hope to god we get a good event week tomorrow. I actually don't care if they do double money on the Special Cargo again. And hopefully the discounts won't be worthless either. It's very likely we'll get a discount on the Deluxo and the Stromberg sooner or later, and I want to be prepared for that.

 

Also, are they adding SV races for the Vigilante too, or just the Deluxo and the Stromberg?
