Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

I agree it's unlikely we ever see an update where we are police officers.

That's where you need to remember GTA's history.

- Vigilante side missions

- The entire role of Officer Tenpenny, as well as the missions for him in San Andreas

- "I Fought the Law..." in GTA V

 

They can easily make an update around being a cop, I mean GTA isn't exactly known for it's good law-abiding cop characters. I'll use this opportunity to add to what I discussed about the Advanced Handling Flags. It'd make sense for R* to release a years worth of vehicles via dripfeeding with these flags to build up a library of cars that would feature in the missions of said Cop DLC to ensure a balance between Cop cars and supercars, rather than just limiting the update to what cars they introduce with said update. The part I'm wondering about is; could a select range of cars from 2018 be updated to have a Police Livery and "Scanner" upgrade, making it a "Personal Police Vehicle". That way, players can only be alerted to any freeroam Police activity if they are out and about in their PPV, or would we be stuck with the current LSPD fleet?

I think you're all missing the point, regardless if I'm right or not.

I do hope I'm wrong of course.

 

As I see it the last meaningful update was doomsday, smugglers and gunrunnung. I don't see why they would go an entire year releasing two low key updates and then return to original content, after all by your guys logic they have gone crazy and missed out on shark card sales this year?

 

If I'm wrong, I wonder what actually would be in future worthwhile updates? In terms of theme, so forgetting mansions and aircraft carriers for a minute. I only see tuners and law and order left to do. The latter I don't think they will ever touch as they have said many times there has to be limits to anything and one of gtas is that you are always a criminal. 

 

the only reason they skipped Q3 was for the release of RDR2, SSASSS and AH were both fairly large updates, no way we don't see a Dec update...  as to the claim that you are always a criminal in GTA games you are forgetting the vigilante missions, which, btw, need to come back, I can totally see them adding a lockup somewhere where you can store and customize several vehicles that can then be used in freeroam missions.  personally I think the Dec update we see mansions, no business, and a bunch of stuff to buy, clothes, make up, tattoos, cars, aircraft, and even boats, the March update will be a motorsport update with loads of vehicles, maybe even add the Maze Bank Arena interior, or a tuner themed update, and next summer I bet we see the naval update and watercraft customization...  beyond that I dare not speculate...

I know you get a lot of flak on this website, but dammit if that isn't the most realistic route. A December update is all but guaranteed, and mansions/clothes/luxury vehicles and a smattering of other vehicles is a damn good way to get people to part with their cash, myself included. As for March, a tuner update would be a best-fit scenario for the opening of the year, leading nicely into Naval-based update and maybe another big-money December '19 update

[Piro]

Well I don't think they will straight up let us work as normal cops

But you guys are forgetting that at the end of DDH we are already basically working with the government. Not to mention we still have those unused outfits with IAA badges. So with those connections I think they could easily make IAA/FIB/Secret Agents/Spy themed dlc with the least amount of effort

- they can sell you old police cars from SP
- reuse interiors from FIB/IAA buildings and online heists
- reuse missions from SP (rappelling down a building for example)
- vigilante missions from older gtas or from PC mods (they always get inspired by mods) 
- new textures for tryhard outfits so they can play as SWAT
- police liveries for old vehicles
- they don't even have to create new characters (Agent 14, Bernard. Phoenicia Rackman from ddh)

All this speculation about cop like DLC sounds very exciting, I especially like the ideas from the quotes above....

You know what would make police chases awesome? Slipstream. If someone is selling a high end car, it should produce slipstream so the bloke in an interceptor stands a chance of catching up. You could also balance it out by only rewarding a minimally-destructive seizure, so PITing the vehicle and tazing the driver gives 50k, but just prox mining it give 5k

[Irish45455]

If we don't end up being cops, I'm sure we'll end up working with one. GTA has had dirty cops that our characters have done work for, like GTA III and SA. While I don't think Rockstar would ever spend this long having us build up our criminal empire with bunkers, hangars, facilities and various businesses, only to just be like, "Hey. You're a cop now.". It contradicts the whole theme of the games. We've always been criminals, albeit criminals who have really sh*tty taste in those whom we work for (glaring at you, Lester, and you too, Nervous Ron). Also, if we become cops, it makes a fair bit of the game pointless. Lester's ability to call off cops would be useless. It would screw with a lot of our businesses getting raided because, "All units, move in no- oh wait, never mind! This highly illegal business is owned by one of our fellow boys in blue! Pack it up people, good work out there today!" On the plus side, it would be cool to just get out of anything when it comes to cops. Would be an easy way to introduce sessions with no cops. 

[StormerBoy]

The last time we got a dlc with something new was the next level vehicles in import export. Gunrunng through doomsday was a repeat of what came before, although I feel it was welcome additions to the game. So for any new DLC to be meaningful, it needs to add a new angle to the game. As for example free mode events began the change in the way free mode works.

 

I'd love to see them bring the leaked gta online beta screen shots turf war/cops n crooks style role play. Perhaps as a separate free mode to the one we have now?

More like 2k for PIT+taze and nothing for proxy mine.

 

And people would still go for latter, smh.

GR thru DDH was not a repeat of what came before, at best one element of each update was recycled, and each brought long requested items, GR's theme itself was a huge fan request, the MOC was a completely new concept, the ability to upgrade Pegasus vehicles was new, research (tho hated) was new.  SR brought the ability to upgrade and store aircraft, I know I have been wanting that since the beginning, countermeasures was a completely new idea, and the Hunter was def a fan fave to come back.  as for DDH, only the format of setups and finales was kept, and even that was tweaked with freemode prep work, 12 hours of narrative content, the jetpack and Deluxo.  I mean come on, how does anyone think any update in the last three years was "lacking" or "not enough".  AH brought in 4 DJs to record sets and mo cap, with a lot of the music being completely new, I know no one expected an A-10, let alone a new vehicle with an explosive cannon (however sh*te it is), the Terrorbyte is sorta new, it's like a mini MOC, drones are for sure new, must I go on?  oh, even the much maligned SSASSS had something new, contact missions in the dripfeed, and it was the largest March update since Heists (again, was supposed to be Dec '14), plus it had the Sea Sparrow, as a huge fan of Vice City I was happier than a pig in sh*t when I saw that thing!  anyway, the game is not dead and content is not slowing down...

 

as to the topic at hand, I think if it's manions, and Luxury is the theme, much like E&OC, we could see new luxury cars, we just got the Patriot Stretch, it is (somehow) storeable in any garage, the Turreted Limo is actually shorter than the Patriot Stretch, it's totally possible we get the Stretch E, without the turret and storeable in any garage

that actually sounds fricken awesome!  and as I suggested earlier, we could get a lockup and upgrade new cop vehicles, even the current interceptor has upgrades available for it, which would make it a little better, but for an I/E chase car it would be cool if we could use a super car as a cop car, in Italy they use Lambos, and in the US they use Vettes, so an Invettero Coquette would work for that, man that would be cool!

How about a Rally Racing DLC that uses the entirety of the RDR2 map and it's plethora of twin track trails? Lol, it's laughably ridiculous just typing it out, but shinkle bout it... it's got your snowy mountain region, plains and desert, swamps and small city centers. So many times I'm trotting along and I'll see a piece of landscape and think, sometimes out loud even, "damn, this would be an epic section for an off road race...".

 

Maybe one day we'll get Planet R* or whatever they would call it and have access to all of the maps to create races, DMs and other jobs in. They were able to spiff up New Austin for RDR2, and at one point seemed to be working on bringing LC to GTAO, so technically it is possible. Probably just not feasible unfortunately.

 

Enough pipe dreams, wrong thread for it anyways, I'll just be happy with a batch of new cars. Fingers crossed for Bullet and Comet Classics!

a) not everyone has the same tastes as you

b) Strauss Zelnick said content updates would continue indefinitely

c) every Dec since E&OC has been more successful than the last

d) there is zero chance they miss out on holiday Shark Card sales

 

back ot:  for Dec I speculate mansions and other flashy stuff to spend our money on, no business, hopefully missions w/ cutscenes, then the naval update next summer

I would love the ability to replay cutscenes somewhere. I like to record them for video editing but noooo

[Devdevi45]

A trucker dlc would be plausible and it’d be a good way to introduce lift kits (I’ve been hoping for that since the ps3 days)

I won't go to much in on it but ssasss was  "lacking" and "not enough"  on pretty much everything.. They found a way to ruin what could've been a really good update, imo it would've been better if they never released that update.

SSASSS was about the same size as Cunning Stunts, the former with 15 new vehicles (most with excellent customization I might add) and the latter with 16 new vehicles, both had new races...  no, the updates are not slowing down, at all, and I can't wait till you are proven wrong when we get a large luxury update this Dec...  and before anyone mentions the flags, not everyone buys vehicles for performance, if that was the case, flags or not, no one would buy the Fagaloa or Cheburek...  the point of all the cars is choice...  as a rich criminal I have options when it comes to my showroom floor...  and options for anything to buy is never a bad thing, so no, it wouldn't have been better if SSASSS, or any other free content update, was never released...

I think you missed the part where I said imo but I know a lot of people feel the same way, the handling flags ruined what could've been a really good update.. There's no point in trying to "convince" me of anything else, because you can't, you just have to accept how I feel about it.. 

 

I have never said we won't get a update this December, I actually believe we will get one but haven't we only gotten two so far this year? If so, we'll only get three this year compared to four last year. That's kind of slowing down

the average is 4 a year since Heists, but this year we will get only three to accommodate the release of RDR2, then it's going to be back to normal, so no, not slowing down, and that sucks for you that you don't like choice and only buy vehicles for their performance, that really limits the vehicles you can buy...  but the larger point was just because you don't like an update doesn't mean it would be better if said update was never released, any free content is better than no content...

Not when the content is so bad that you lose interest in the game because of how bad it is.. 

 

Who said I just buy cars for their performance?

Bought most of the SSASSS cars but it's only a couple of them that is slightly worth driving, the flags ruined both performance and handling and for someone that does a lot of racing, it doesn't make things better with the cars.. 

 

How do you know it's back to "normal" next year? 

If RDRO is a success we might see the updates shared between the two games and that could possibly mean two updates for each game.. 

And I know there's different studios and yada yada yada. 

I'm not saying it's not happening but do you have any proof beside your hopes and dreams?

those two sentences contradict each other, if you don't buy vehicles for performance than the flags shouldn't matter...

Strauss Zelnick and Imran Sarwar said GTaO content updates would continue indefinitely (https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/19/red-dead-online-devs-reveal-first-details, last question), plus it's their flagship franchise, it will continue to get quarterly updates until the next GTA game, period...

 

it doesn't matter how good RDRO is, there is literally zero chance they say "GTaO has made enough", the game literally makes them BILLIONS, with a B, of dollars, no f*cken way they turn that off, or even slow it down.

I think I was wrong about no major DLC in December. RDRO probably won't launch until the new year post Beta. So they can still make a ton of cash with the next DLC for GTAO.

 

After all wasn't the last December DLC the most successful ever? If they do mansions with other high value stuff etc they will make a killing again!

even if the RDRO beta ends after two weeks, they said they would stagger updates, and I doubt that means each alternating quarter is for one specific game, each game will get an update every quarter, the launches could be a month apart with the dripfeed overlapping...  and yeah, they will totes make a killing this Dec, especially if it's mansions and other luxury items, I can see an update that mixes E&OC with IGG, just tons of luxury stuff to buy, I really want a Stretch E to fill out my convoy garage full of Schafters...

[Laika Iwanowa]

I only hear CEO Luxury stuff, how about some nice chopper bikes? I really love my 2 million Sanctus or my Daemon, I want more bikes and clothes for MCs.

[Vallence]

I'd rather have some vintage racing bikes, like a 30s Velocette or something, since there aren't any proper ones. A whole dlc themed on classic racing would be amazing, if extremely unlikely.

that's a logical progression, I could wishlist all day, but there's another thread for that, a Mansions/Luxury update just feels right, they have given us so many opportunities to make money that an Ill Gotten Gains Pt 3 is almost a certainty, I mean they probs won't call it that, it'll most likely also have stuff to do, side missions/new VIP missions, and obviously tons of vehicles, clothing, tattoos, hairstyles/makeup, the work, all Luxury themed, a spiritual successor to Ill Gotten Gains and Executives and Other Criminals if you will.  oh, and hopefully mansions...  whith a heli pad...

Time for "Pro-Tip Time" with Uncle Crokey, you see Uncle Crokey hears things about stuff that's going on in topics and thinks it would be a good time to impart some knowledge and experience.

 

Pro-Tip 1: If you're getting into a fruitless discussion walk away from it, or take it to PM and be civil about it.

Pro-Tip 2: Since it's the Autumn, careful about kicking leaves as they tend to hide dog poo.

Pro-Tip 3: After the Autumn comes Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, remember not to eat the yellow snow.

Pro-Tip 4: If you're going to use evidence to back up a point your trying to make, or state that someone said something, then cite it, or state it's your opinion.

Pro-Tip 5: Be nice, or Santa Claus will bring you a nice stick with BAN engraved on it (or use jumper cables).
