You can’t go talking about a trucker update like that. Now I’m being reminded that we’ll never see a stock Cerberus or fully customizable Phantom or Hauler with bullbars, rims etc. I don’t think we’ll see a trucker-themed update ever in any GTA solely because it seems like something that people wouldn’t be interested in on its own. It would, however, tie in very nicely as an addition to any update given how many delivery businesses we have.

And yes, at bare minimum the OpMkII’s missiles need to be nerfed to Buzzard tracking, but I doubt they’d do even that. 

It does not need missiles at all. Imo it does not need any weapons at all. Dame with the deluxo and mk1. The bare minimum would be to let all 3 keep their machineguns and remove all other weapons.

They shouldnt even exist R* is catering towards 12yr old cowards who dont know to fight or they dont know any real pvp and have no skill so what do they do they grab an oppressor they bought using a sharkard with money they got from their parents credit card because it lacks effort or any real skill they want everything handed to them.

 

I would love to see them feedback responses about the mk2

You do know that it takes time to work on large scale dlc projects right? Like city morgue may have just began working in collaboration with them. 2020 makes perfect sense for another DLC release, as we don’t even know what it would consist of yet. Basically, don’t dismiss this because it seems “early.” Obviously they’re working behind the scenes so they definitely know something we don’t.

[REXX]

90% sure its for the next update.

 

Maybe V-Day Massacre 2? Maybe not?

[VitoCorleone1992]

So, to summarize all stuff about what i read here and about what i think about the future of gta:

1) I dont think that image tells us about a new dlc or radio station, bcz, R* never (and there's not much logic there) teased an update that will come just after one that isn't even released and nonethless radio stations were only teased by the artists that are hosts of that radios or something like that.
 

2) About code limitations that limited the dlc themes that we were talking about, i picked more the fact that they can't put many new things in the game bcz it would take a new code or even a new engine, for example, imagine if i wanted have surf as an activity, i guess that couldn't happen due the fact that it would be needed a new code and engine for make waves, the players themselves riding the surfboard, etc. (but ainga, i'm not an expert in this subject). BUT, minor things as billiards and new arcade game machines could be added with not much difficulties and R* isn't doing it. Which takes us to the number 3.

3) Why R* became so lazy about "fun stuff" and "fresh, really fresh stuff" to bring to the game? Easy: a percentage due the limitations of the game engine and code, and i think it was a mistake for R* release the game to the old gen consoles when they were near their lifetime. For the bussiness perspective, it was a genius thing to do, like, people just basically bought the game two times, but in the long range it wasn't, bcz R* shot their own feets doing that bcz it did limited the potencial that this game had, but to be fair, they didn't count not in their best dreams how popular gta online would become and how rich the game would make them. So, the only thing i an expect is R* did learn with gta online and don't commit the same mistakes in "gta online 2". But, despite all this, we also need to say that R* could flourish much more the potential of the game the way it is in what concerns their code and engine limitations. For example, we asked for billiards for a long time, they didn't gave us that, at least yet; yoga, it was a bullsh*t in SP but, if it's in the game, if i'm bored i could even just do a yoga session in gta online, there is in it? No. More things...oh yes, one that i never understood and blows my mind: why the hell we don't have bicycle helmets in online like we do in SP? Why we asked about arcade game machines and they didn't put the ones that are splited in the map to function? Instead we only have them in the penthouses which not everybody can afford them so makes a lot of players unable to use arcade game machines, and truth to be told, just two games?! Which one of them isn't that great? (the multiplayer one, imo). Why they couldn't gave us the nostalgic ones from gta san andreas? They were better. Also, why the f*ck we don't have new melee weapons requested years ago like katana, chainshaw, flamethrower, shovel, etc.? And new fire weapons that aren't meme ones? Which, don't get me wrong, those alien weapons are cool, but it was barely explained why they exist. Also the OP mk1 and mk2, they are handy to make grind easier, but i think that everyone feels that they are quite displaced in time, it feels like we are in 2030. Also, why not new player actions that have some co-op mechanics with other players, like a hand-shake or something...we know that some people have special habilities to do in the game, that we see in those machinima movies, like sit the butt in the hood of the car, it would be cool if we could do that.

 

4) So, to sum it up, R* probably are tired of doing gta online dlc's, but they do bcz they know it's their chicken of the golden eggs, but they are becoming more lazy and with the will to to impressive things, like this survivals with aliens, like...we are the aliens? Rly?! I mean, that's not a bad ideia, but they could have done half of the maps where we are the aliens and the other half were we fight aliens. What R* invest a lot of time is in making nice cars (and even that is arguable due the fact that they gave up on Benny's) bcz cars is what fills their coffers in the end of the day, it's a relative easy job and it's very profitable.

That was the other theory in my mind. Another radio that doesn't have anything to do with the update but adds more music.

 

I don't think Chanel from Frank Ocean had a lot to do with a possible WW3 by Clifford so it could be the same situation here.

Great song though

Looks like new music are coming to gta onlin in the summer update 

Let's see, it could be a DLC for GTA Online or a new game coming from Rockstar.

GTA Online: Gang War DLC or Street Racer DLC

or 

New Midnight Club (I really believe it will be a sequel to this franchise, it was rumored that this racing game could come back)

These are some good thoughts--please break up into paragraphs or sub-paragraphs so it's readable.  I got through half of 3 and gave up.  Not being pedantic, it's unreadable with that long of a paragraph

Maybe something similar of a different caliber, but if they were making music for an update it certainly wouldn’t be for hipsters. Have you seen what those guys look like?

Don't do that. Don't give me hope. I'd do disgusting, vile things for a new MC game. Last one was 2008 and I've been waiting so, so goddamn long. With next gen consoles on the horizon it would be a good game to release, either as a console exclusive (highly unlikely) or just to have something for people to play if backwards compatibility isn't a thing. 

[docpain222]

I wonder what the December dlc will be tbh...I haven't been playing much GTA due to RDRO being kinda fun now and other game releases. 

 

** I know this isn't the place to talk about GTA VI, but it kinda plays into the life of online. I think with PS5 confirmed for a holiday 2020 release (and xbox 2 around the same time is my guess) I wouldn't be surprised if GTA VI is announced then or shortly before then using the new capabilities of the consoles.

Or they finally launch GTAO as a standalone game.. Then when they drop 6 and you purchase it, you get the GTAO map expansion added to the airport. A lot of creative things you could do with that... They have been doing a lot of cross marketing & promotion lately with RDO & GTAO.. They also like stringing characters & stories from company history throughout their releases... This many years in, this many people in the overall community... They've eliminated their ability to start & stop. Gift & Curse.. I'd put money on some form of both GTAO & RDO being available on next gen consoles at launch or within the first 3 months. I also wouldn't be surprised if Sony & Microsoft have pushed for Rockstar to have something ready due to how much more something like that would open up early stage growth.. On 360, a few dozen friends bought X1 at release then ended up coming back to 360 as a primary console for the first year or so.... The internet has completely changed this whole dynamic and there's only so much exclusives can bring to the table. But as for a full GTA 6, I don't think we'll even hear anything on that until '22-'23 at the earliest... Because, really, what's the point right now? Now, maybe expansions like San Fierro or Las Venturas can introduce both story & multiplayer aspects.. That's more likely in the next 3-4 years, IMO..

GTAO as a stand alone game would make since, especially now that companies work together for exclusivity. GTAO going to a cloud based operation with microsoft and sony would make snese for it to evolve over the years. Thing is, I think R* would be better off releasing the next game and going from there. I would not be surprised if at least LC and another city (VC probably) are included. I don't think it was a coincidence that OpenIV got the axe. I bought an XB1 when GTA released on it, otherwise I didn't upgrade at the release of it. I think holiday 2021 release is probable, must likely pushed back to Q1/Q2 2022. An announcement.teaser will most likely drop summer of 2020 or around the release of PS5/XB2. **Best case scenario, which to me has less then a 1% chance of happening, is GTA VI releases with the new consoles. I think from sony and microsofts stand point, this would boost early sales of the new consoles. I must likely won't buy a new console right away, but if GTA VI came with in a bundle.. or not... I would buy immediately, and I think most people would tbh. I think expansions in maps won't happen ever for current gen, and not until "GTAO2" is released. The only R* game where I see an expansion in the next couple of years is RDR2, since mexico from the first one is in 2 as a sort of placement. 

[agent_asshole]

oh man, i haven't been on here since the diamond dlc was released.

i gotta say that the bits here and there on what to expect increased my playtime of gta.

sure, a surprise dlc is always welcome. arena war was a surprise, but i could immediately tell that it wasn't for me.

the biggest surprise to me was doomsday heist.

 

the rouge days, when people on here were throwing around hints were much more entertaining imo.

i'm excited for the december dlc (i believe christmas + summer dlcs are here to stay until gta next is announced), but also, the time leading up to the dlc seemed much more exciting when there were true intel-based rumors.

OT: i also speculate that the city morgue teaser points towards midnight club dlc in summer 2020. hip-hop would fit the scene and i'm basically waiting for them to re-use that name since they used smuggler's run.
regarding the december dlc, i have absolutely no clue. maybe they are going to position it around PROJECT 4808, but that's just wishful thinking.

Boy, then Frank Ocean must look like an IAA agent since his radio station must mean something to the Doomsday heist

[AUScowboy]

I get wanting to round out the HD era trilogy with Vice City, but if they don't use a new city for whatever follows VI I'll be disappointed. I want a GTA that's not set in an elitist coastal city for once. Gimme Detroit or Chicago please.

 

As for VI, yes, probably VC. But instead of some Cuba analogue how about doing VC, SF AND LV? If they don't double dip and just release on next gen it's probably a possibility. The HD era will feel incomplete if we don't get SF and LV

Plenty of water near both those cities

[DentureDynamite]

^^ IMO one of the biggest drawbacks to GTA Online's map is that it relegates and limits water craft to the outskirts of the map--where 99% of game play doesn't happen.

 

A naval update (if one ever arrives) will suffer greatly because of this.

[AUScowboy]

Yeah, Michigan looks like a sponge it has so many lakes. I also think Detroit's architecture while smaller and fewer, is way more unique. There are a dozen plus iconic buildings and they have such originality and character. The skyline is an underappreciated aspect of a GTA game. Plus I mean come on, Grand Theft AUTO... the MOTOR City? It could be the excuse to add obscure classic American cars as well as imports.

Exactly, and even the few ways boats can actually make their way into the mainland is incredibly limited. It's like Rockstar wanted to put more emphasis on there being a massive deep ocean to explore before wanting to incorporate water transport into the actual map, but they realized too late into map design that they wouldn't be able to mix up gameplay and include boats without taking the player off the coast. The only major in-land body of water is the Alamo sea, and you can only get to that from the north west side of the map and by having to fight up waterfalls and navigate an extremely narrow river/swampland. There's the docks at Vespucci that link into the canals which has that tunnel tacked onto it that takes you down the other end of the beach. Then the flood control at Terminal leads to 2 dead ends.

 

MAYBE they could do a huge map update where the Dam is destroyed and flood control gets... flooded, giving an massive waterway that runs from the Doomsday Facility there all the way down to Terminal. But there's the major problem of the tunnel segment at the north end of the flood control being flooded, (maybe only so far as when there's a upward hill and science stops the water from reaching the tramline).

 

Vice City is there best chance to incorporate boats into the sandbox, since it could have so many decently sized rivers running through the islands that could face a little bit of danger from players/NPC's on land, but they would have to handled it like how they handled ladders in GTA V coming from GTA IV. 4 only really had ladders on story mission and major buildings which meant if you had to crash land on a roof, if there was no ladder, there was no way down other than death, whereas in 5, they made sure to that EVERY building had either a way to get all the way down to the ground or a parachute at the very least. They've need to have jetty's of ladders to get back on land every couple of yards.
