Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk VIII

[AUScowboy]

The next update will always be expensive, it's how they stay profitable. Most times it's more expensive than the prior updates. They have to keep thinking of ideas or listening to player requests to make the carrot bigger and more desirable than the last one. We say "give us a Turismo Classic, more accurate stock Mclaren F1, Gauntlet Classic, ect" and many times they listen with the caveat that it will cost more and more each time. Fine by me, I think they're only getting better at it as time goes on and majority of my requests have been added at this point.

 

There are more than enough passive income streams to make 100 million between updates as long as your attentive and have a few hours to spare a few nights a week. And now with the casino it's easy to supplement that passive income.

 

Comet Classic R*. Please, please add it this Christmas, it doesn't have to be a free gift, just do it justice like you have with the Gauntlets from DC&R and the dozen plus BEAUTIFUL muscle cars added with AW..

I would actually buy a Shark Card out of appreciation even if I don't need it if the next update had some juicy QoL fixes.

 

Until then, I'll keep my money inside my pocket.

Couldn't have said it better! It would be a small Shark Card (keep that extortionate value as low as possible), and it won't be triggered by nerfing the OP MK2--that will be considered a hoofhalf-hearted apology.

 

If @Fun 2 is content with 20 million, then I certainly can't complain about my ~74 million. Game play takes different forms: IMO just fixing what's unbalanced and broken often has the biggest impact.

Truth be told, it only takes the new vehicles to make a dlc expensive, much more for those casual players, which is a quite large percentage of the gta community, and usually those are the ones who dont give up on social life to stay in gta grinding like a slave to have enough money in order to not need to buy sharks.

I hope we get as interesting a selection of cars as we did with the casino update. A gasser, an old British compact, some weird rail-trike thing and some other goodies made for an impressive lineup. Some station wagons, classic trucks and vintage sports cars would be cool.

Right, the people that wanted an update devoted to realism with no toys have had your fun. Got it out of your system? Good.

Can we get some new toys? Deluxo MkII? Thruster MkII? A F-35 Lightning B ripoff? A flying Terrorbyte inside the Cargo Plane?

It doesn’t matter at this point. The mess has been made and there’s literally no way it could get worse than instakill air rockets and flying motorcycles with guns

Somewhere within Rockstar/T2 is a product roadmap that's just had 'RDR2 PC' ticked off and I really wanna know what the next item is.

 

Fingers crossed for Table Tennis 2, obv.

Count me in, that's a serious title. Inb4 Bully 2 gang is making a run for it.

IMO, neither the Deluxo nor the Thruster really need Mk II variants, they're pretty fine as they are right now (and even then, the Deluxo could get a nerf on its missiles).

 

IMO, if we're going to get Mk II variants of older vehicles, it should be vehicles that actually could help getting some new features.

 

Mk II versions of Pegasus aircraft could get Countermeasures, weaponry options and liveries, making them more viable in the already poor current meta while not turning their Pegasus counterparts completely obsolete.

 

I just want a Buzzard with Countermeasures and Barrage Missiles

I agree but counter with the fact that the OpMkI did not need a MkII version but we still got it.

TopGear voice:
"Some say R* is testing roleplaying in GTA Online based on success of RDR2 Frontier Update and general success of FiveM mods, and we might see Cops n Crooks.
All we know is he's called the Fun 2."

For some reason I'm picturing Robin Leach from "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" voicing that line.

I can’t wait to see what the December update contains. It will be interesting to see if the update theme is the rumored Cops vs Crooks theme or if it’s something completely different. Maybe we will get some info towards the end of November?

I hope this is really their next title so when they announce it, people will be like "wait you thought we were serious?"

Going off past years(which I know it isn’t always the same pattern but), we will most likely get info a week or less before the update comes out in December

If the grind takes you more than 6 hours a week you're doing it wrong..

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

I wish that R* wasn't so lazy and retroactively updated some of the old Businesses to current standards.

 

Make them all inmune to lock-ons, make them all stealable, put that red radar thingy on the right of the map for all sourcing/resupply/sale missions, make all missions last the same (20-30 mins), add more random vehicles to the cargo/resupply vehicle pool, etcétera.

 

Maybe go the extra mile and revamp them while we're at it. Make the Hangar work more like the Cargo Warehouses, let us resupply our MC Businesses as an Organization and let us sell our crates as an MC, make I/E less profitable and Airfreight Cargo and Counterfeit Documents more profitable so all Businesses can be viable, let us bring Business Battle cargo to their respective businesses and add more Business Battle scenarios and vehicles too while we're at it, I dunno.

 

Make the game more consistent and uniform instead of being a bunch of systems that have nothing in common despite working more or less the same.

Yes

 

I agree with you fully, and nothing you say is controversial or unreasonable. 

 

But we are caring about an an amoral cash machine that does not care about us, and has been mostly turned off. It's like shouting at the wind, or farting at the incoming tide. 

 

I do think almost everything is now about Six. For sure we have seen some nice yet tentative QOL updates recently, but isn't that like giving a dying relative an extra pillow? 

 

Edit - just look at this forum recently, at how few people are contributing. It is dying a death.

The problem is that all he said i think is not very plausible to happen due to the limitations of the game.

Well, what monetary values are we talking about? For example, the nightclub bussiness it takes me like 4 hours to get 300k.

Limitations of the game are inevitable, and I don't doubt that a 2013 game is now broken as f*ck. What I do challenge is the ability of the supposedly world-class coders at R* to fix a vast range of things that could be so easily be quick wins and would retain hundreds of thousands of players who, once gone, won't come back until GTA6 if they are lucky. And what happens if GTA6 is another RDR2?

I mean, there's surely some things that can't be changed because they're either hardcoded into the engine or they're behind spaghetti coding, but seeing how most things added to Online are mostly coded on top of the original GTA V code, I think is actually possible for some of them to be changed.

 

Like, most things in the game, from vehicle/weapon attributes to payouts and everything in between are basically either boolean values (true/false) or numeric values (0.6913420666911) that could easily be edited with a text editor or something.

 

Hell, someone literally modded in a better physics engine on PS3, and that's something that is harder to do than say, change the rate of fire of a weapon:

 

 

If some modders can change the game so easily (as the vast ammount of mods can attest to), I bet that a multimillon game company with (probably) some of the best coders in the planet can, should and honestly have to.

Wonder what an update's theme could be with their music? All i know Is i don't like it.

^Sounds more like a new title to me. I don't think R* is gonna tease a Summer 2020 dlc for GTAO this soon, when there's probably another RDO dlc or 2 to come before.

 

Not to mention the usual GTAO December dlc we can get too.

From what I see it wasn't rockstar who teased it but who knows.

 

The image has blood over it so it could be a new title hmmmm

^The band answered "soon" when they were asked about more info. Whatever it is, is gonna be announced....... Soon™.
