Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

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.

I think he was talking about "being dead" in terms of quality of the updates bcz many times is just re-used/re-skin stuff.

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

This thread is talking about horses quite pages ago dude!

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.

But there's and commercial on tv that a back of a horse appears. So, they probably did the model, no? What i guess is that horses comes to the game, they don't have any excuse to not add the other animals. Even if a Naval DLC drop next time, i guess it's a huge fault not to add aquatic animals and animals in general.

Well they sorts can, but you are right, it isn't that simple. The textures, models, and sounds can be used, but the animations are a no go. And hell, even the sounds can be a bit challenging to port back, and way the textures are put together may be different than gta, so those woukd have to be redone. So while they can't just put the rdr2 horses into gta v, it can definitely be done with not too much work.

Eh I think it would be a lot of work, since apparently RDR2 had a lot of upgrades to RAGE to make everything work. Idk anything about making games but I know if they were gonna add animals like horses, they would make a big deal out of it. So we will see.

 

Regardless, I extremely doubt they will be added to this update, or any update, ever.

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

Don't forget the man, the legend @WildBrick142 will post them here too.

And then we will destroy his notifications!

i sometimes wonder if at some point rockstar won't be able to add more vehicles because of some limit the game can handle.

 

like is there some sort of limit they will encounter at some point? maybe the respective vehicle websites that might lag out from all the updates to it etc.

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.

I think R* did not dream that the Online part would become so famous and with the longevity that came to have, so they thought that would be necessary bother in making better servers and game mechanics improvments, probably they thought that the game would see 90% of the player-base leave the game after 3 years.

Bad sport! You destroyed another player's personal horse! Behave yourself or else...

 

The personal horse you destroyed was insured.

I'm pretty sure I recall someone mentioning that they were close to hitting a vehicle limit a while ago. Maybe around the time of Lowriders, or soon after.

 

So I guess they hit it, and changed something to raise it.

I don't think cars per se, will be the main issue when the game reach it's limits...a part maybe...but about the website...i think they could use a new skin for the majority of the websites, they did it one time to legendary motorsports, but i guess that was with the I/E dlc, so yeah, it's kinda old.

If there is a limit, then that update would be the last update. Without new vehicles updates would become meaningless to most/many players.

Making old cars better? I don't think thats gonna happen.

Are you sure about that? I've come back to find my vacca felt faster and smoother to drive at least 2-3 times over the last couple years. They could sneak changes in without ever saying a word about it, we know some of the features throughout certain dlcs were never mentioned by the developers, and really while it may be a mess of code in the last several years of dlcs, they are still just handling lines (based on my experience with modding GTA 4 back in those days), so finding and sneaking a few subtle handling changes into old cars should realistically be easier than adding new features. I've seen so many people around the internet saying they can't do anything at all with the old code and it just feels like a meme at this point, one large common misconception.

One: maybe you're right, or it's just your strange feeling in not drive vehicle a or b in ages.

Two: they don't bother with that much either bcz plz tend do forget the old cars, if they are collectors, they have then in a dark corner of the garage and don't touch them. In fat, i'm a car collector myself, but with so many cars that R* already put in the game, of course you do not drive like 95% of your collection.

If they did, we would know about it. People check every update for changes to handling, and they so rarely happen.

It could be a placebo effect, but I actually own less than half the amount of cars most of us have, I'm so insanely careful about filling up my space, I usually plan weeks or even months ahead and carefully hand-pick the cars (and other vehicles) so I never have to deal with the regret of having to sell a vehicle I like for another vehicle I want due to lack of space, I've done it that way from day one.

It means they're going to have some backlash if people don't like it when it releases lol, that's a LOT of people hyped for a casino. It also might be supplemented further by the 6-month content-draught we've had this time.

Yep. That's why i said they went "all-in". If we don't see at least some most-requested things that people asked in the feedback page, since it's the first update after the opening of that page, people will get mad. xD And by common sense and public opinion, we know the main things that we would want to see. The casino itself is there, let's see if they do that right and give us too some of the most requested "minor" things that we wish, like classic melle weapons, new weapons (not mk II's), cars, etc.

Definitely, I may not be as excited for the casino itself as some are but we know since it's been so long and some countries surely won't be allowed to participate in it they will have to sneak something else good in, hopefully it'll be like a 2-in-1 dlc, I'm still hoping they sneak in that nitrous from Arena Wars for use on normal cars, could have tuners features, etc. A Midnight Club-style update seems like it would be appropriate to package in with the casino.

Well, go see the comment before bcz i did edit it. xD

Uou can always use a VPN, but we don't even know if the system will be the same as poker in RDO (probably will, but, let's cross fingers for it not be so restrictive).

Tbh this was the only DLC I ever wanted(well maybe the originel heists but that was kinda confirmed from the start). I still remember playing on the 360 and seeing the "opening soon" along with rumors that it might come.

 

The main reason is that gambling never gets boring, so I still see myself in the casino in months/years from now unlike for example the Arena.

It's something I wanted too. Nightclubs was as well but that was mainly if it was gonna be like Bahama Mamas in TBOGT (which was highly unlikely).

 

Casinos though, imo its harder to make this go wrong and it is looking very good already. They even mentioned luxury which is what Ive been wanting. If they dont screw up, this is the update for me. for real

I can't see any big changes happening behind the scenes, it's far too late in GTA's lifecycle for that imo. 

As much as I'd love everything to be ripped up and reworked, I can only imagine how much of a headache that must be, not to mention the bugs that'd likely spring up from a complete overhaul.

 

No doubt r* will be learning from their mistakes for the next GTA! It looks like the RDO team is already improving where V lacks.

Why go negative immediately?  Yes, it is true, you can please some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.  Some will love it, some will think it is ok, some will hate it.  Just the way life works.

This is absolutely true.  Can you imagine how many things must have been requested?  There is no way to add them all, and certainly some of those things could even come, but just not in first DLC.  But you are right, usually this place is a hard place to be day of DLC release, looking at some old threads,

Nah, that part was intended for when he was saying about "R* still keep pushing it", not about the game being "dead":

GTA Online is dead but R* still keep pushing it, and I mean that in terms of the quality.

 

(Or at least the message he sent looked like to me, it was kind of ambiguous in that regard but then again I wouldn't use the term "dead" for indicating the DLC quality in a game, it's usually for indicating its playerbase).

 

But it's not like this is something that's actually worth arguing about anyway (Since we are talking about a player's opinion anyway at the end of the day, even if a reputable one) so back to speculating I guess.

I'm only going to think about one week at a time. The next checkpoint is this Thursday. if that Newswire comes with a paragraph, screenshots to analyse or maybe a 40 second trailer, that will keep us going for more than week (since last week's sentence kept everyone going for a week).

 

before you know it you will be in here speculating about the December update.
