Or maybe it's the only way he can give any info without R*/his source getting pissed? Regardless, I still think it's better than nothing.

Then he would not leak the exact setting of the DLC beforehand. He literaly said: "The Next update is Themed around Nightclubs". This is just straightforward and usefull. If Rockstar is not going to be pissed about that one,l i dont know what will.

Agreed. I know a name is just a name, but it sounds an awful lot to me like the Pounder will just be what we thought the Brickade was. Same maker (I think) and “Pounder” sounds like something big that smashes through traffic. 

I'm leaning towards a similar idea, I think that the Pounder Custom will be highly customizable in a more functional sense, since it clearly seems to be going to be a truck for crate, and maybe even car, deliveries. Assuming that it will be exactly that, I imagine that it will have options for modules like in the MOC trailer, one for crates and another option for cars so we can choose what we want it to be used for. The truck would have options for upgrades, both the regular ones like performance and such, and also armor and some level of cosmetic customization, some regular in style but also others more similar to what we see on weaponized vehicles.

 

Spoiler

If that kind of customization choices is what we'll receive, I really hope that among the options we get some actually useful and cool things. MOC cab level of armor and options like adding a wedge to the front like the one we see on the Phantom Wedge for example, that would make me happy I want my Pounder to live up its name and pound its way through anything I see on the way between my products and my buyers!

 

Also, if the truck is going to have module options like MOC and Avenger, then I'm pretty sure it will have the same level of armor. It would be weird and lame for me if it turned out to be so similar to them like that but featuring a more regular resistance against attacks, specially given its function.

But it's Rockstar we're talking about here, so my long reply might be completely wrong too haha

that type of customization is likely, expect flashy clothes, neons and epileptic seizure inducing strobe lights on most thing!

While it would fit the theme for sure, I don't think we will see that style on everything hahaha I have this feeling that the Pounder Custom will be more like a delivery, MOC-like kind of vehicle, with maybe some customization to fit the nightclubs theme but not on the level displayed by those Japanese trucks.

If that was the case he probably wouldn't have added the "good luck finding out this one" or whatever it was 

[Piro]

Mah... theres no point of guessing until Yan says something more. Stop playing those games cause it can be literally anything...

heres an example:

-5 = 5 underground floors for each business (Crates / IE / Bikers / Bunkers / Hangars). So we buy extra floors just like with ceo garage 
8 = 8 new mini heists
8 = 8 new special vehicles that you unlock for those heists (just like with special vehicles in IE)

It could be entirely for lulz, was just a thought.

My hype is back down to low levels again

 

It was pretty low, then that teaser trailer popped up...which answered nothing much, but I got hyped thinking 'soon'

 

Now I am all like...bleh. I'm bored.

[Tazzytizer]

I'm probably wrong but perhaps -588 is an address of a building or location we're going to be able to buy?

[Tazzytizer]

Maybe -588 is part of a range? 

 

e.g 100-588???

 

Perhaps it's the range of something in the update.

 

Not many things In GTA online are associated with medium sized numbers like 588. The cost of things will be in the millions, and the amount of cars won't exceed 30 probably - I think the number given is very telling as to what it's associated with, but I'm fresh out of ideas.

Nah man it's the MTU method 588 that's it, it means that they will patch the MTU in the next DLC

-588 is the amount of braincells i lose when a leaker is being cryptic about something again. Either tell something usefull, or dont say anything at all. I'm sick and tired of these cryptic messages leakers provide just to stroke their own ego. It's not doing anything good. Then again, i do appreciate the straightforward info they gave couple of weeks ago, but this is nonsense in my opinion. 

Well I like his riddles, as long as they are actuall riddles.

-588 could mean anything.

 

On another note. Anyone expecting new sports bikes (like the double t drag) or classic 80's cars like the corvette c4 (gta 4 coquette)?

07/17 maybe the dlc drop date?

My best guess as well.

 

I mean, a random number without any other association never make any sense.

 

Pairing it up with Yan's numerical part of his username makes a lot of sense to me since it give us a very probable release date.

588

5th letter = E

8th letter = H

Add them together and it makes: ehh. 

I guess that's what he feels at the moment. Was I right Yan? 

 

Grand Theft Auto Canada!

[Max 1985]

-588  Is the amount of minutes less to new update information? 

 

I believe today or tomorrow we will have information from R*, a couple photos 2 or 3, and details.

588 ....... 5+8+8 = 21 

21st of July is in between the 17th and 24th . ..... Maybe rockstar themselves don't know ?  or 

588 .... 5+8+8=21 .... 2+1=3 .... 3 days away from a trailer? Snapshot? .

That's some advanced CSI conclusion sh*t right there.

[clinical oppression]

lol its hopeless speculation actually 

[ajheadshot777]

588

5 = Amount of days from Yan's post for the trailer (Monday - June 9th)

8 = Amount of days from the trailer for the DLC to drop (Tuesday - June 17th)

8 = Amount of clubs and/or vehicles available on day 1

 

????????????????

[BlarKing]

The only thing more annoying than crappy riddles is useless spam that semi-try to solve it.

Come on guys, let's talk about what color you'll make your headlights on the new truck

I'm actually fairly certain his contact/friend at R* gives him the riddles and he passes them on to us without knowing the full details himself.

What's this 588 stuff about?

Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they will either be stock, or have a bluish tint to them. Since those are the only options.

Yan dropped the number a few pages back and everyone's trying to crack it thinking it's to do with the release date.

 

Just smells like a joke at our expense or an ego boost to me.

It's only logical they add as much color options for any light sources as possible if they are going for the nightclub/flashy style

Half Life 3 to be released along with the next DLC.
