That means absolutely nothing to Rockstar. Summer=When school is out. 

But, the 19th or 26th was always the most likely days anyways, just based on when the dripfeed was ending.

 

Yeah you're probably right Mach. I'm obviously hoping that it's the 19th. Sooner the better.

Why not?

I know quite a few people who would buy it instead of that 5 Million grief mobile. It would noI require that much work since its mostly copy and paste.

It's more work for not as much payout. They could easily do it, but easy is still more effort. Mod authors have done it, and it's just... the same car, but not as useful.

Even with the minor demand that you may find around (which I would vote as being from a biased, vocal group), it's not a big deal. It's nit-picking at best, nagging at worst. People might want an unarmed Hunter or Mogul, too, but that defeats a lot of the overall selling value, plus it's been months. The hype about it just isn't there, unlike something that has the option to fly and can be upgraded to an armed variant. I am of the bunch who reasons that it's a fine example of a plain car, too, even when I can hit X and go flying, of course., though I understand the feeling of people who don't like even having the option. Sours the purism. But, from a developer standpoint, it doesn't seem like it's in the cards.

I hope R* does a great update, and if it's this nightclubs theme then business gameplay be different and enjoy.

I'm just hoping for great vehicles. I'm not really into the whole nightclub thing (I'm really happy for the people who have been asking for it forever though). 

[Commander S]

There's a lot of potential with nightclubs - not least because all R* needs to do is replicate a bunch of stuff from TBoGT, and that's a whole bunch of new activities and minigames, right there.

On top of that, it's just nice to have something a bit more realistic, compared to the whole 'Dr. Evil' vibe of last year - indeed, nightclubs are arguably the first Freemode business thing run as a a 'legit' business, open to the public (as in, NPCs coming in and using the facilities). That's an interesting change - and also opens up possibilities for what we'll be doing with them, since it'll be a new thing to have to keep something public stocked and operational all the time (as opposed to something like a bunker, where there's no real consequence for letting the thing go idle and under-maintained for a stretch).

If the cars and clothes follow suit, and things trend more towards realistic stuff that fills the niches of Los Santos, and not just 'suddenly: warzone!', that'll also be welcome - overall, this is the sort of grounded, world-building thing I thought we'd be seeing shortly after Lowriders/Benny's in 2015, and not after update after update of flying cars, orbital cannons, expensive military hardware, etc. Better late than never, though, eh?

Dumb question, but the Jester Classic is still in the files right? Nothing about it was changed or removed? Just thought I'd ask.

Yes it is still in the files and nothing about it was changed, I'm thinking if they were to change anything about it we would have to download an update.

This whole time I was saying the 12th and the 19th I was thinking they're both Tuesdays Ahahhaaaa I can't even calendars apparently.

So the 15th and the 22th?

why not the 8th by the way? are you guys assuming the next event is lasting two weeks?

 

The 12th and 19th are Tuesday's bro lol

That's exactly what I'm thinking. So if there is no update next Tuesday, then the car is still f*cked.

Yeah I also don't think they'll update the game just to fix one car, so if there's a fix for that vehicle, it's probably coming with the next DLC.

that's because your looking at May 2018 calendar not June.

Happened to me before, sometimes I think we are in June but we are still in May.

Lol actually that's the broken part, I clicked to scroll down but it didn't do anything and I didn't pay attention to that, it fixed itself now.

Anyways, my bad, my calendar totally confused me lol

Omg, what if the Habanero which is slightly based on the Lexus RX:

... can be bennyfied into the NX:

LITERALLY THE ONE I HAVE BEEN ASKING THEM FOR! Hoo lee shet! Have they listened?

That's not what that means. They're just adding the regular stock vehicles to SSASA's website, just like they used to do with earlier updates.

Why now all of a sudden to add this myriad group of vehicles is beyond me. Other than the Romero, but alas that banishes it to the 'not rare anymore' list.

Edited May 31, 2018 by Pumpkin Zone

[Tez2]

Uh, sorry to disappoint you but I'm talking about the stock versions of those vehicles.

If it's a new variant that can be customized at Benny's, they would call it Futo2/Habanero2

[REXX]

My heart has sunk. Dammit!

[UKPortista]

'sup. Did somebody say something about Night Clubs?

[Commander S]

Here's a thought: Midnight Club L.A. (and GTA San Andreas, and Table Tennis) just got the backwards-compatible treatment from R* - and that got me thinking...

See, I've said before that the two cars in the SSASSS update that feel like the hint of a new theme are the Flash GT and *spits on floor* Jester """Classic""". Makes me think that we might be looking at a slew of Speedhunters/Midnight Club/Need for Speed-ish cars at some point this year.

I've also said in the past that it wouldn't be totally beyond reason to imagine R* combining 'Midnight Club' and 'nightclubs' into a general-purpose nightlife thing - particularly considering how the soundtrack of Midnight Club II lends itself to that kind of thing. Listening to some tracks by the DJs in that recent tease from R*, I'm definitely getting Midnight Club flashbacks - particularly to the Thomas Bangalter/Felix da Housecat tracks...

So, assuming that's a possibility, and using Midnight Club L.A. as a template, here's the car list from that game (spoilers, because big-ass list):

Spoiler

TUNERS
        
Audi RS4
Chevry Cobalt SS
1975 Datsun 280Z
Ford SVT Focus
1995 Mazda RX7
Mazda RX8 Shinka
1999 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR
1998 Nissan 240SX
Nissan 350Z Roadster
1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
Pontiac Solstice
Volkswagen R32
1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI
1988 Volkswagen Scirocco

LUXURY

Chrysler 300C SRT-8
Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG “Black”
Mercedes-Benz S600
Mercedes-Benz S600 DUB Edition
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

BIKES

Ducati 999R
Ducati Monster S4RS
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14

SUV

Range Rover Sport Supercharged
Range Rover Supercharged

MUSCLE

1987 Buick Grand National GNX
1969 Chevry Camaro RS SS
Chevy Camaro Concept
Chevy Camaro Concept DUB Edition
1970 Chevy Chevelle
Chevy Corvette Z06
1996 Chevrolet Impala SS
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
Dodge Challenger Concept
Dodge Challenger Concept DUB Edition
Dodge Charger SRT-8
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302
Ford Mustang GT Convertible
1979 Pontiac Firebird
1966 Pontiac GTO 
Saleen S302 Extreme

EXOTICS

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
Audi R8
Ford GT
Ford Shelby Cobra Concept
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
1971 Lamborghini Miura SV
Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster DUB Edition
Saleen S7

LOWRIDERS

1963 Buick Riviera
1955 Chevy Bel Air
1964 Chevy Impala
1965 Chevy Malibu

Anyone else think that kind of selection (albeit with the 'already-in-GTAO' stuff removed, and pruned down to around 20 vehicles in total) wouldn't be a bad cross-section for a nightlife update? Some not-too-extravagant exotics (no ridiculous concept hypercars), some luxury/executive things, a sprinkling of bikes, SUVs and lowriders, and then a decent helping of classic/modern muscle/Americana, and JDM/Euro tuners.

That'd cover most automotive tastes - and probably allow for R* to recycle a few GTA IV cars into the bargain (particularly the PMP 600, what with it being the GTA analogue for the 300C an' all).

Im looking forward too the trailer if we get one,i can't see why they wouldn't have one for a update like this 

[Commander S]

...oh, the other thing that put the whole 'nightclubs = Midnight Club' thing into my head (and this is more wishful thinking on my part):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHYaj6EHfJg

(mild not-really-spoilers for Drive - it's just the opening getaway scene/credits, which sets the mood, rather than having any bearing on the plot)

Again, more of a stretch, there - but still, it just goes to show how good a fit illegal late-night driving is with neon-drenched electronica.

I would buy the IV Turismo and Super  GT in a heartbeat. Only thing that excites me more is a legit Comet Classic, Bullet Classic and now the Gauntlet Classic and Gauntlet Hellsomethingorother that has been picking up steam lately.

ZR-350 update, done in the same manner and to the same standards as the Elegy Retro? Sign me the f*** up, sarge!

ZR-350 remake, handled by the same ham-fisted clod who did the Jester Classic? Hand me the rivet gun - I want off this planet...

A trailer like the first one for The Ballad Of Gay Tony, that would be awesome.

[Tylarious]

I hope im wrong but i believe this nightclub business is going to be a lot of maintenance. I believe it will be like the businesses in story mode where you have to do a bunch of mini jobs like collecting pay or getting supplies and will get raided often because you are being robbed, raided by cops, or gangs are messing with you. Once again i hope i am wrong.

Fair enough, but imo that ain't really that big of a deal compared to the Nightclubs. But I'll add it to my post.
