Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[FuturePastNow]

I still think their experimentation with stealth aircraft and their need for people to spend $100 on shark cards will culminate in a stealth fighter that puts the Hydra and Laser (and everything else flying) to shame. Ironically the Oppressor, being a tiny target with super missiles, might be the only counter to such a thing.

No new qabeta updates since quite a while. The previous few of them were all around 24 hours each, so hopefully 21st seems like a likely date but I won't get my hopes up.

Would everyone be okay is the laser had vtol capabilities?

But... why? They both look very similar already. So adding features from one old jet to another old jet sounds... very boring. I'd rather have "Retro Hydra Custom" from SA.

Vtol for Laser? Naah

New jet with vtol? Sure why not. As long as its well balanced.

Personally I would pick something that looks completely different from those old jets. Maybe Quinjet from MCU?

It has couple cool features after all

Spoiler

and speaking of MCU they could add couple more:

- The Bus

Spoiler

-Zephyr One

Ok well what if it had the Hydras capabilities and weapons but looked liked this?

Yeah we have batmobiles so why not batplanes. Couple years ago I would say they should remove explosive rounds but at this point it wouldn't by that op I guess

And it could be amphibious

Vigilante Mk2 - transforming, flying boogaloo. Because I'm SharkCardMan. 

 

If we're talking about balance (hah! in a Rockstar game - I almost kept a straight face as I typed that), then the Lazer should be one of the fastest pre-SR aircraft, and the Hydra should be slower but more manoeuvrable. In that respect, a new aircraft with speed, VTOL and manoeuvrability would be on the cards... 

 

Or, Rockstar would read that as Alien aircraft *somethingsomething* may as well reuse the Zancudo UFO assets instead of making an effort *somethingsomething*

There were qabeta updates last weekend IIRC. They just stopped coming out like 2-3 days ago (from Thursday onwards to be precise).

Vigilante Mk2

To be honest i think i have never seen since the mighty Vigilante a car that can make you feel so godly powerfull. That feeling of absolute "SPEED AND POWER !!!"

A Vigilante Mk2 or Vigilante custom would be more than welcome by me ...

 

Coming as a standard Vigilante but ...

with an EXTREMELY (even more than benny's standards) customisable version with a lot of weapons customisations options.

The ability to move the cockpite like in the rear (classic Vigilante style) or the middle or the front (like the arkham city one).

Being abble to customise the interior (steering wheel, seats, dashboard, and styling of the high tech screens dials and blah blah blah with the possibility to choose the color.

The ability to customise all the body parts of the car (spoiler, doors, bumber, why not the rear rocket booster and the turbine ? why not removing it to replace it with a more subtle grill)

 

Weapon wise

Spoiler

1 Why not being abble to put a 50 cal on the top of the car ? (similarly to the weaponized Tampa And being abble to replace it with a single minigun ?)

2 Of course Missiles ...

3 Why not giving the car a jump ability ? (but less powerfull than the scramjet or ruiner 2000 ones)

4 And why not parachutes like the ruiner 2000 ones ? Gliding with this thing around would be very badass i think ...

 

And some pinstripe liveries (in hommage to adam west's batmobile)

Some of the liveries names could be ...

Spoiler

1 Clown Killer

(some agressive styled stripes with a worn effect in a grey color overhall the entire body)

 

2 Godslayer

(with some dark blue stripes around the wheels following the lines of the car)

 

3 You sunk my battleship!

(with a big white and red target on the hood/bonnet)

 

4 Dark Warrior

(agressive stripes again in a black color similar but not identical to the "clown killer ones")

 

6 Adam's favorite

(tribute to the 60's batmobile with the iconic orangy red stripes around the car)

 

7 Freezing Blood

(same as Adams's favorite but in a light blue tint)

 

8 Ultimate Warrior

(same as Adam's favorite but in a red tint)

 

9 Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb!

(i don't know something stupid)

 

I think this one should be abble to be seen on the map ... But like with the Akula you could remove your weapons functions to be seen as a normal dot on the map ...

 

I'd pay seven millions for a mad badass machine like this !

i like this talk about new planes and the pictures that being posted would make a great addition to the game but before adding more planes or anything that flies R* needs to do something with the mk2.

 

right now the only place i get to fly my fleet is in invite only sessions, while in public session is mk2 or bust.

I love my Lazer but I don't think this would be a good idea.

It would make the Hydra completly obsolete (and it's pretty much useless already these days because of the mk2).

I see the Hydra as a combination of the Lazer and the Savage. It can shoot stuff to pieces while being stationary like the Savage and it can also traverse the map at relativly high speed like the Lazer, while being relativly unmanouverable in hovermode and relativly sh*t a dogfighting.

Giving the Lazer  VTOL would mean giving it the advantages of the hydra, while not giving it the disadvantages.

Something that I would rather see would be the option to fit flares to the Lazer aswell as a change to its missiles that makes them incredibly powerfull against the broomstick mk2 exclusivly (aka. lock on enemy aircraft=regular tracking, lock on enemy mk2=insane tracking).

That way it would become an effective mk2 counter without becoming more op against everything else.

Do the same thing for the Strikeforce (along with a higher canon firerate for the Strikeforce) and you brought a bit of balance to the game.

Might as well go all out and have the Tumbler from TDK and have the ability to turn into the batpod

Hm... and what about stuff like wingsuits, parachute thrusters or cars with ejector seats? I think thats less silly then those oppressors and It would fit well with Secret Agents theme

I'm not a fan of Just Cause, though my lad very much loves it. I'd be alright with ejector seats as that's just a giggle, but wingsuits and Spiderman ropes etc is just too far for me personally.

 

GTA can do far better than just copy my son's games, lol. I'm all for a naval business, but want the game to remain street level crime if anything. Granted, crap like flying bikes/cars are all the rage here, but it's because of those sh*tty ideas that I never go public anymore. Really has killed some areas of this game off for me.

 

And leaves me more worried about future GTA than excited for the next one. They really have sold out to the kids here that I'd not be surprised if the sex and swearing got toned down next time too, lol.

 

That bad.

Nerfing all homing missiles to buzzard level of tracking would be a better option if you ask me.

I wouldn't worry too much, to be honest.

 

Besides the obvious reason of not living the same problem twice, I'm of the impression that the Houser brothers will always strive for excellency in their single player campaigns. As far as I am aware, RDR2 proved that they are still on top of their game. It's highly likely to me that the next GTA will bring the same redefined story mode that we have become accustomed to, with what most would call the "typical series' traits" in place - you know, the relatively grounded feeling with wacky diversions outside of the missions and a good side dish of movie, music and pop culture references while taking a dig/laugh at what is current of the time of release.

 

It's the Online component of future R* games that we should worry about. Once again, RDO has shown us that the B-Team (C? D?) at headquarters are the ones that take charge of that side of the games and we get a highly controversial experience as it has been with GTAO and RDO. People like to say that LB's absence wasn't that important or as important to the multiplayer of these games but I don't share that opinion. Just look at Dark Souls II and Bloodborne - when Hidetaki Miyazaki left to develop the latter, the former turned out to be a good game, just not a good Dark Souls game, while Bloodborne carried over and improved on the DS formula and was a huge success with the fans. The mastermind behind a product is always key to the way it shapes, and I can't help but wonder what GTAO and RDO could have been if the man was still around... Still, I'm really excited for "Everywhere", LB's current project - I can't wait to see what his vision brings to us.

 

So, in conclusion and in a short few words, it's probably safe to expect an outstanding "GTA Next" campaign and a careful dip into its online mode.

This 'Everywhere' is something I'm interested to learn more of for sure, more because I've read here so much praise for Leslie Benz. I don't pay too much attention to the chap or the fallout between him and R*, but it'll be interesting to see what comes of that.

 

And yeah, after RDRO I'm only focusing on story modes in future. Here I 'made it' so to speak, and I'm comfy to not need the full experience (easy to ignore businesses/freemode altogether). I truly hope you are right and GTA in future proves to be awesome in story mode as I'm currently not interested in R*'s online games going forward.

 

Maybe they know some are of similar mind and it contributes to why they'll keep this game going that bit longer, lol. Wouldn't put anything past them these days.

[Nyamber]

At this point, just add a f*cking Iron Man suit or something. Not like it could be any worse than what we have already. Plus, with End Game releasing soon it would be pretty topical.

I don't mind some wackiness in the game. The Oppressor, Deluxo and Vigilante were all cool pop-culture additions, though they should never have been weaponized in the first place. But when they're turned into griefing tools and R* apparently doesn't give a sh*t, then something is definitely wrong.

Also, this should tell you what exactly is wrong with the OPMK2 compared to its predecessor.


There's absolutely no fall risk when using it and its way too easy to maneuver, never has to land and hence requiring no skills. It also has no pop-culture reference, it's just a gimmick that has a lengthy Shark Card money sink scheme attached to it.
