Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[kenmy13999]

Take Two is aiming to have shorter time between new titles https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-06-17-take-two-expects-shorter-gaps-between-releases

Also 500 open positions but not sure if that has anything to do with R* or not

Not sure tbh. I dont think this will follow patterns or typical marketing strategies Rockstar has used in the past however. Idk I think this is gonna be more like After Hours where the are using a seemingly random unconventional way of releasing information.

 

I would be happy with a post on the Newswire similar to this:

I really don't like what Strauss is saying there, I hope R* can ressist the Take Two greed.

 

"It's possible that games may be a bit shorter than they were in certain instances," Zelnick says. "It's possible that the ability to deliver content on an ongoing basis for a long time after an initial release of a hit would mean that perhaps that initial release wouldn't be as long in terms of number of hours of gameplay as previously had been demanded in a world where that was all you were getting."

 

This sounds rather concerning, and I hope he isn't talking about Rockstar Projects.

As for the matter on GTA Online, 

I don't really think it has anything to do with that, other than Take Two trying to release games more fequently.

I hope not but thought maybe all the open positions could have something to do with the gap since last update?

That was good old Rockstar.

I think they are past that form of actually communicating with their fans like that.

 

They are probably going to release the Update with another IGN/Game Informer Interview that comes along with it, for marketing purposes. Like they did with the last set of Updates: After Hours having several DJ Interviews and an Interview with a Designer from Rockstar and the last Update for Red Dead Online having a Game Informer Interview.

Lol, if so, sounds like story modes could become glorified tutorials.

No. Rockstar always has open positions.

You can take a look at their careers page, if you are interested:
https://www.rockstargames.com/careers/

 

There is always some turnover at Rockstar, partly due to the nature of the industry, and partly because working there is a little more stressful than at other developers in some departments(according to multiple sources from Kotaku and Jim Sterling),

but there hasn't been any major turnover in the last few months.

The reason for the big Update gap was most likely due to Rockstar channelling their resources into other projects such as Red Dead Redemption II, Red Dead Online and other unannounced games, I'd assume.

 

I am a little surprised by them Updating their Feedback page though, and I do wonder whether they did it just to bring it in line with Red Dead Onlines or maybe it means that they actually plan for even longer term support for GTA Online.

I don't know for sure, but I hope he was refferencing other subsidiaries of Take Two Interactive(such as Private Division or 2K).
As far as I am aware and as far as general consensus goes, Rockstar has been fairly independent when it comes to designing their games, or delaying them if they aren't finished. I bloody hope this won't change.

Zelnik also said that:

Quote

"I still think it will be a fewer, bigger, better strategy," Zelnick says. "All entertainment businesses in maturity are top 10 businesses at any given time. All of them. There are no exceptions."
 

Which leaves me a little relieved.

To be fair, I hadn't read it fully and anything is possible of course. I mean, R* would have to be confident the day one billion that could be made can be made elsewhere so I'm not putting too much thought into it just yet.

 

But I have said long ago it wouldn't surprise me if the recurring spending proves the way to go more and more. They gave Fortnite away and that's smashed it since, along with seeing RDR2 do so well as a story too, it's all open to anything.

They're just props obviously, but it couldn't be TOO hard to make them into usable vehicles.

I didn't realise that until now! and i think they did the exact same thing with the tug boat (it was just a prop and they turn it into a vehicle).... oh man, now I want that

G36C

The normal special carbine, sure.

 

The Mk2 variant is visually quite different from any of the export-model G36s despite maintaining the same overall shape. The carry handle is different, there's a left ejection port, the fire selector is exclusively on the right side (even though the left side still has the markings), and the overall length is somewhere between G36C and G36K.

I do hope we get more weapons with this update. I’d love to have some (or all!) of the beta guns return, but I’d be happy with new MK2 variants of course!

 

A proper p90, pls R*

Ok, i drop my wishlist completely of the Go-kart and the Koenigsegg Regera. Rockstar, count me in:

Crazy as it is, I could actually go for that.

 

Very brief engagements with the LSPD, but Rockstar could make a bundle with new Chiropractic businesses.

 

New "Because we can" vehicle category. Large posterior recommended for speed bumps and cross-country.

 

But I still want a silenced Sten or Sterling L2A3, darnit.

The Special Carbine Mk II is just a customized G36C.

 

Been looking from a similar handguard and stock, and while I have found some lightweight handguards for the G36C that kind of look similar, they're not the same as in the Special Carbine Mk II. Both the GTA Wiki and IMFBDB's GTA V page not being updated doesn't help either.

 

So it's either a fictional customized version of the G36C or the custom parts are from another gun altogether.

 

Someone told me it's based on the Pulse Rifle from Aliens, yet aside from a passing resemblance, they're not alike at all.

Forget about the G36C, we need a Kriss Vector.

The first signs of the update would be probably modded cash sweeps and "Y U DO DIS ROCKSTAR" posts on Rockstar Support.

I wouldn't mind if GTA Online went back to the update style of 2014

small updates with only a few cars, clothes and guns. As long as they're good quality, I'd be happy

It beats waiting a whole year for the nowadays only ANNUAL big update 

This! I miss the old days of short intervals between the updates and simple approach. Still remember the hype after Flight school when we had hopes for the dogtags and even body types...

Personally I hope they don't release any announcement or trailer for this. I love the fact that they dumped the props outside the Casino, very Rockstar.

 

It's a casino, what else is there to say? With AH they pretty much had to because of the real world DJ tie-in, hype would have been part of the deal with them, and with AW they had already made content to loop on the screen in the Workshop.

 

I hope they increase the number of zombie NPCs who appear to line up outside and browse their phones, a la Nighclub line. I've only seen one so far.

Huh, I wonder, will there be only one casino property or a few? And will we be able to modify the Exterior of our Casino properties?
