Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[kenmy13999]

I would also like if they could adjust the performance on some of the older cars making them more viable for racing but that is most likely just a dream. I know old code and all the yada but shouldn't cause much trouble just changing some of the values that's already there

They will never fix the OC just like they will never fix the crate/plane delivery mission.  It doesn’t cost them anything.

Can I ask what the problem is with the plane in crate sell missions? And do you mean the titan or the cuban or both?

I really don't care about the casino, but I come on here every day hoping the new vehicles have been leaked so I can get hyped for them. Same as every update really, but I'm usually so out of the loop that the update drops and I didn't even realize it was coming.

New vehicles likely will not be leaked until night before DLC drops by FoxySnaps, from what I have seen.

There's a big issue with the Titan delivery mission, where some crate drop locations won't work and you'll be stuck with what's left of your cargo not being able to deliver them.

From 2-3 years they cannot fix this

Having lots of money doesn't mean you can find the best developers, the recruiting process may find the good people but not the best of them.

Keep in mind, game development is a harsh environment.

In that industry, the best of the best can only keep up what a gamer refer to as a "good update" that means new features and no issues with them.

That's because game services don't offer devs much of time to fix bugs in general, 3 to 4 months is great but during that time, new content is being made which means more bugs to fix. In every update notes, we find like 50 or 100 fixes to bugs and each one takes like a day or two to fix (there are classes of bugs, Class A bug takes months to fix while the lower classes don't take that much).

When it comes to GTA Online, the game is barely holding it up together and R* is pushing new content in the face of the bugs that arise due to new changes.

It's kind of crazy when you think about it, take RDR2 for example, the devs took 8/7 years to make that and you could consume it in a matter of weeks or even days if you are crazy to play it 24/7

This is an excellent explanation of what it is like to work for a developer.  I have a friend of a friend that worked for one of the major companies and was told horror stories about what it is like to work for big time developers.  It is a grind to be sure, with high burnout, very tough demands, long hours, and the pay isn’t really that great.  Most gamers have absolutely no idea about these things.

R* way of balancing content is by introducing new content that overpower the old content. The same apply to their way of fixing bugs.

When R* introduced darts and arm wrestling to MC Clubhouses, they had to make new scripts for them that are different from the original ones.

R* copied/pasted the carmod script 8 times, resulting in 8 scripts that are literally the same except each one is assigned for a specific mechanic.

It's clear that the developers who knew how to create new game systems moved on to other games several years ago, presumably to RDR2 and now I'm sure that team is on GTA 6. The GTAO team, since the original Heists probably, is just copying existing systems with new art and minor improvements.

 

I had second thoughts about this sentiment when they came out with the Doomsday Heists, but it's clear that all the preps and setups of DDH are just rebranded VIP work and contact jobs. Very little actually new.

I get it with the Cuban mission.  Drop 2 crates and then you can’t drop the 3rd and it’s over.

It’s not that they can’t fix it, they just choose not to. It doesn’t cost them shark card sales so why fix it

Lot of changes in their changelogs are for bugs which I never seen with my friends and they wasting probably time for this imho low priority bugs.

Lot of frequently occurring bugs like not active SecuroServ/MC, black screens, bad ranks on Z-player-list during freemode events etc exists from 2 or more years.

Changing vehicle stats doesn't affect "the old code", they do that all the time. But they usually make cars slower so they can sell another set of super cars.
Making old cars better? I don't think thats gonna happen. They would rather sell new custom versions instead.

do they do it that often?

 

weird because i play this game since 2014 but the only times i know of when they slowed down cars was the RE7B and viseris and that was because they had a speed glitch or something.

I think we do, it's just never really told the specifics. I'm not that naive though, sh*t like that isn't a walk in the park especially knowing the way Rockstar works. It just all seems like a mess

Can't really say I've heard or noticed they changed a lot of cars but I don't think it will ever happen either.

From shark card point of view it probably wouldn't hurt either with all the new garage space added the last couple of years. Lots of people probably sold off a lot of the older unrelevant cars when they needed space but never bought them back again

Gameplay reality + insider comments over five+ years leaves little room for doubt about that.

I don't think so. I'm not into racing so I wouldn't know how often but I've heard people complained about it before.

Is there any chance that they include the Arena wheel inside the casino so we can spin without limitation and get that sweet spacedocker

You're right, but if we could get a similar leak like the one before AH, where Fun found the event weeks that gave away vehicles and customization options, that would be great.

I usually tend to agree with you, but this just isn't true. Just look at the Steam Charts for GTA V if you want proof, there are still over 50K players (Which have been more or less steady over the years from what we can see) on Steam alone, and there is probably at least double that amount on the Rockstar Warehouse version since it has always been the cheaper alternative. And that's only with counting PC, which is probably the platform with the least amount of players with it (I'm not sure about XB1, but i'm willing to bet that the PS4 is by far the most played version out of the three).

 

Now, you aren't completely wrong, since GTA Online definitely has less players now than it used to (expecially on console), but saying that the game is dead is kind of stretching it since it probably still has a significantly bigger playerbse than RDO. The reality is, at the end of the day, that R* is a game company, so if they see that a game is effectively "dead" they probably wouldn't update it anymore, because that wouldn't make them any money.

Guys did you guys forget the main part of the casino? HORSES. remember few years ago I think when someone found horse audio ? what if we get to bet on horses and buy them? What if that's what a selling point is

That was part of a heist taking place in Madrazo's hacienda, not related to the casino.

[Saiyam]

What are odds of us getting another cross over event for RDR2?

[Non Funkable Token]

Just now, GentIeman said:

Yea but what if they reused old audio. And the horse design's are done so there's no reason to not release them 

Off course they can, and I hope they do. But I doubt it'll be the main focus of the update. Gambling will.

This reminds me, I wish that, alongside the iFruit we all know and love/hate, we could be able to choose between a Badger, a Facade and even a Lifeinvader phone, sans the whole exploding thing of course.

I'd buy a Facade phone in a heartbeat ...

They aren't going to reuse audio from 7 years ago on previous platforms, and they can't just put horses from RDR2 into GTA, it isn't that simple.

He said in terms of quality, not player numbers.

 

The fact that lots of people still enjoy playing with this rotting carcass of a game doesn't make it any less dead, mechanical wise.

 

This game is a mess. The code is made of spaghetti. And yet they keep piling more on top.
