haven't watched Lock Stock in donkey's years, thanks for the reminder. think i'll do a double bill with the original Italian Job this weekend. check which ending is best.

 

btw Layer Cake was directed by Matthew Vaughn (he was a producer on Ritchies first few films)

 

*also sry for the movie talk segue

 

OT i wonder if the approach options will be more involved that in SP?

*facepalm

 

Oops, usually quite good with movies, lol. All gold though.

 

Hopefully we get a proper stealth option with this heist. Much like story gives us the loud or subtle choices that set the jobs we do to set up heists, but more paths.

 

Seen others mention taking hostages, role-playing undercover as a guard/employee like the janitor part Michael does in story to hack and infiltrate, full on guns blazing too of course, lol. Using the drone could be fun too.

I hope the Arcade's basement is more realistic than the nightclub's.

 

Anyway, its been a rollercoaster of day here and its time for me to sign off, good night folks.

It would be cool if it looked like some sort of sewer/water treatment facility/abandoned subway station or something.

Me too! I always thought it’d be neat if they could add a bunch of simple bank jobs like this throughout the map. 

The terrorbyte jobs?

Fleece is the only reliable heist for earning money in x2 if you dun have fees online.

Players nowadays do not know how to play heist and read.....

NO SH*T!  REALLY?!? I never would have guessed!

[drizztle]

What is Ms Baker position this time?

Stop the heist?Give us a hand or just shaking in her chair?

I hope we can still contact her in phone after we finish the heist.

Nah. That’s just robbing the guys who robbed the bank. 

 

I was thinking more along the lines of reusing the drill and lockboxes and possibly even the hacking to hit other banks throughout the map. 

 

Or even just simple little smash and grab jobs but they rotate through all the different banks in the city and out side of it. 

 

Probably too too much to ask I know but it’d be neat to partner up with someone and split a take of a small sum depending on the size of bank you were hitting.

I remember seeing Chevys everywhere here, they were just as popular as Beetles or Tsurus, it was also a popular vehicle to turn into a taxi too.

 

Good times.

Yeah they're not as common anymore. Can't say I ever saw a taxi variant though, usually it was the three door hatchback or the little pickup truck variant. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we're going to own an arcade now? I agree with what was said above, that's a strange side business for our drug dealing, counterfeit item peddling, gunrunning, and car theft ringleading characters to run. Can't wait to hear "Hey, your arcade is losing business. Go out there and promote your damn arcade!" Hopefully that's not the case though and I can treat it like my nightclub, largely forgotten. Kinda killed my hopes for more garage space though, I don't know where they can shove a garage into an arcade.

Am I the only one who feels that an arcade business is totally out of left field for our characters? Coke, weed, forgery, illicit cargo, stolen vehicle sales, underground club, arcade place: one of these businesses isn't like the other.

 

Of course I'll reserve judgement until I experience it in game, but it seems there could have been many other businesses that would have been a better thematic fit than an arcade.

If EA can rob people, so can we.

The reason for the arcade businesses is for it to be "Unexpected". I think that was the point.

Hopefully they drop a trailer or some screenshots soon. Not gonna lie, I'm excited for a new update, but concerned that the artwork they chose literally shows all recycled content and a little hatchback car....The vehicles will make or break this update just as they have every update before this. 

 

To me anyways.

Oh, I didn't see that. Well maybe my armored Schafters and Insurgent SUV will have a new home. Hopefully it has more space than I can count on my fingers though.

[Wastelander (Suzuki)]

All I want at this point, is a Fox Body Mustang (With a proper "Muh V8" sound), The Orbital Cannon Removed or Fixed/Nerfed heavily, and the Oppressor MK2 Nerfed (Remove the Missiles) or removed.

This is all I want for Christmas. 

[Nefarious_Poundcake]

Well I suppose they did add 30 spots under a nightclub. It’s possible they would do the same under an arcade business.

[Devdevi45]

I played all the Casino missions today for the first time here’s a question to interfere with the new update 

 

who are we robbing?

i thought we owned the casino?

Fingers crossed.

 

Depending on the style and location of the building, I might park one of my Dubstas & a black Hellfire there ... They seem appropriate for some reason.

This, I really like the sound of:

 

Featuring a diverse range of opportunities for set-up and prep missions that shape your plan of attack, multiple paths of approach, constantly changing security measures and a dizzying array of choices once inside. Expect outcomes for you and your crew to change on the fly as you deal with each new situation, leading to more choices mid-mission.

 

Hopefully this means R* will finally move away from formulaic, tightly choreographed missions where only one sequence of events takes you from the start to the end.

 

Right? As much as I liked the original heists, I wanted to actually choose the vehicles rather than riding motorcycles that made us vulnerable to gunfire, which of course made you lose money too.

Thornton Duggan, he bought the place from the Chengs.

We only own the penthouse.

 

Ms Baker contracts our services as um ... Independent Security Consultants.

Pretty much how I'm feeling too BUT, when Arena Wars was teased a year ago I basically laughed and assumed the worse. Then midnight hit Not much is shown but if it's anything like the past two updates a lot of good stuff is likely in there.

[Mach1bud]

I mean, its a classic "inside job" kinda thing. Who better to rob the place than the people who have the keys to the front door?

Idk I liked the stuff I saw in the Arena war announcement, the monster truck, etc. You are correct however that they have not disappointed with vehicle selection in the last two updates. 

[theNGclan]

Really curious if this'll have the 2 player minimum requirement or if it'll be 4 minimum... or more?

[Krispy2396]

 

Time to re-watch Ocean's Eleven, 12 & 13. The other day for the 12, the other day for the 13. To maintain the hypertension.

Hopefully we can use our own vehicles in these heists rather than the ones given by the mission. Harkens back to the good old days when we'd pile into someone's Armored Kuruma after robbing the Pacific Standard bank.

[OCDee]

Fingers crossed for a Combat Pistol Mk. II going by the artwork.

[SummerFreeze]

People were speculating about the Tesla Cybertruck... looks like we are getting its armored windows at least.

 

 

[rollschuh2282]

What you guys think, will they require you to be the host again to unlock the trade prices and such, or will they give them when you completed it as crew members already.

That was the reason it was annoying in the 1st few days bc everyone instantly left when they saw they didn't were the host.

Different weapons.  Top pistol is hammer fired, you can see it at top rear.  Bottom piece is stricker fired.

I think it’s pretty obvious that the gun the guy on the cover art is holding is a glock. Look at how similar they look.

 

 

 

Also you can see the glock holstered on the cops’s uniforms in game.
