Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[Faltskogian]

Curious to know as crazy as it sounds if R* do implement horse racing if you'll be able to import your horse from Red Dead Online into GTA Online. 

 

Perhaps i need to get out more...

well I mean... They DID use the Hunter audio from the very first release for the Smugglers Run Hunter :x

They had the hunter completed from the start they just cut it from the game repurposed and modified its weapons to fit into gtao. So any audio it has, has likely been there from the start

I just hope our max allowable bets are something substantial. I worry they won’t be much of consequence and it will really hamper the gambling aspect.

Oh hell yeah, i'm about to go 1/2M per gamble. Probably we will get a max bet limit like 100/250K.

After Casino has dropped, I believe the last DLC idea they could do is the tuners update. Tuners out in December 2019, and that being the last big GTAO DLC with extra vehicle storage!

 

Post-Tuners, they just need 1 last quality of life DLC where they literally just fix a bunch of glitches and all that crap. Also add in some useful features and updating current properties like the Yacht where you can spawn pegasus vehicles there. Also maybe making the pegasus list neater.

In b4 they never release a Tuners update.

I hope you guys get it though, you've been asking long enough.

[Disclolume]

I hope people who play poker will know the rules, not play at random. Otherwise it will break everything. Everyone will put at random and spoil the impression of the game.

I wouldnt be too upset at the prospect of not getting the tuners update. 

 

But then I fully expect it to be in the next GTA game, and done to a higher standard then what they would have done here

[PH Ukracheski]

Well, I've been out for a few days, how's things going? Speculations for June 27 or July 4?

[Mach1bud]

I'm serious when I say I think it might be July 2nd.

[Pininfarina]

Hmmm, I'm still thinking the 27th. I think we'll get some info this Thursday, trailer possibly on Friday, and then a Thursday release. That's what I'd like most anyway.

I'm with you on that one, I've said before I see no reason why they wouldn't switch back to Tuesday when the update drops and switch back for Rdo Tuesday again for next Rdo update

[jargonaut]

Some of you guys talking about horse racing, and all I can think of is the would-be modded reality:

Estou falando sério quando digo que pode ser em 2 de julho.

No content updates were released after events were changed to Thursdays. So it makes sense to consider launching for Tuesday, since the Thursdays have not yet been consummated as update day, just events.

Here's hoping we can actually make some decent cash from betting, unlike RDO. R* describe the casino as luxury in their teaser, so I'm expecting max bets of 50/100K.

Then again, I could see the limit being 10K, just like races, to prevent people using as a way to transfer loads of cash between players.. hope im wrong! 

[Saiyam]

No way it will be coming on July 2nd

Tuesdays are for Red Dead Online now

I want that to be the case.

 

But I just don’t see it happening, why would the release a GTAO update on the same day the RDO tunables are updated?

 

Of course this is Rockstar so anything could happen. We’ll just have to see.

 

[Galavan]

Think I prefer thursdays anyway, seems better as its nearer to the weekend!

 

I mean its definitely not coming out this thursday which is the 20th. That leaves the 27th, 4th, 11th and 18th. 

 

Out of those 4 dates, for me personally it looks like it'll either be the 4th or 11th. with the trailer dropping exactly 1 week before the release, and week being teased with screenshots and all that goodness

Unless they just skip a week of tunables for RDO.

Don't count your tuna bowls before they update.

If the dlc say was meant for 27th but for some reason got delayed, then maybe they will add more set of props this thursday leading up to the dlc? Right makes sense?

Well, then they messed up with the background scripts. There are 3 sets of construction work for the casino in the files, that's ending this thursday.

Only way we can know this is on the 27th, as it stands we are only seeing these props until there.

RDO is not as popular as GTAO and Rockstar care about money so knowing them they would release something for GTAO first even if it means delaying something for RDO

It's not really simple like that though, sure they like the money and it's what keeps them churning out more content for this six years old game whose coding has been patched together so much that it might as well have been patched with duck tape and it's a miracle that the game still runs, sure RDO is not as popular and played as GTAO...But that doesn't mean that they will just disregard all of their organization process to appease to a part of their customers a little bit earlier than what they are expected to.

 

R* has spent a good time and money creating that game, and it's the only new product that they have released in six years, so obviously they are not letting it rot to pieces because it's not popular, they would rather make that game be more popular than what it is(though they are for sure taking their sweet ass time to implement private lobbies already).

 

If anything, I'd guess that what they want is to move on from GTAO already.

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

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.

When the game execute the script for Arena Mechanic, it use half of it while the other half is kept there with no use.

You have 5.44 MB worth of scripts that are basically the same. It's a nice way to avoid critical bugs, but performance wise it sucks.

The Doomsday Heist brought a new trend, the seats that are located in your facility, nightclub and the arena have their own scripts to have you sit.

It's like R* ditched the original script that handle seats and decided to come up with new scripts.

"Seats Mk2" everyone.

These details alone are supporting my theory that the original developers are not around and that existing code is poorly documented. Performance-wise, game is getting significantly worse with the updates, IMO. Can you please tell us more about the NPCs and why are they eating memory bandwidth and CPU so much?

 well ill be damned lol.

 

what a shame C* have resorted to this. I would honestly much rather they do a quality of life update over the casino atm. Just get all the annoying little bugs and crap out the way. Make npc's less retarded and not driving into you. Maybe even improve on other parts of the game that are under utilised and give them new purpose like the yachts.. 

 

but no we are talking about C*, they only care about the shark card money that little braindead nerds will keep on buying

It's probably more of a way for them to easily fix new updates at the cost of performance really, basically they are doing this so that if they find bugs with a new mechanic added they don't have to fix the whole "theoretical" (Because it doesn't really exist anyway) main script for it, just the portion they added with the latest update. This is supported by various claims over the years about R* devs not wanting to touch old code, instead just "creating" (Read this as: Basically copy-pasting it in many situations, "Seats MK2" being an example) new code for every DLC.

 

Sadly performance expecially on consoles is noticeably worse with this line of thinking, it's not nearly as big of a problem on PC since most people tend to upgrade every 2 years anyway. But, on the other hand, doing things properly would need longer development times and therefore higher budgets for each DLC (Developers aren't at fault in this case, it's usually the fault of the higher ups when things like this happen) and that's why R* isn't doing things properly.

Running out of ideas. its time they focused more on other games instead of carrying this garb on.

There are definitely so many more criminal themes that are possible. The problem isn't them running out of it, it's that they're half-assing the execution of said themes, or adding some nonsensical grindy business model that leeches the fun out of it after a few hours of gameplay. I assure you, if they want back to the Heists business model then things would work out fine.

I 100% agree. But thats exactly my issue, I would rather not get anymore updates than to see updates that I'm excited for get completely ruined by their greed. I mean don't get me wrong, some of these DLC themes on paper seemed amazing, and if it wasn't for the ridiculous grind they would have actually been cool.

 

Classic example is smugglers run. I mean owning your own hanger with your own aircraft is awesome. But R* ruined the entire DLC with the awful payouts and grind, and how unnecessarily expensive they made the update. Same with the nightclub, arena wars and I guarantee it'll be the same for Casino too.
