@MrARCO:

 

 

God damn it, again. 

Remember to bold it too for added effect.

 

Alright, enough off-topic from me.

I agree with you bro, maybe not every post but I understand where you are coming from.

Trying to read through this thread can be a disaster.

People asking the same damn questions, making bs statements with nothing to back them up, pages and pages of garbage that is just crap and this guy calls them out. I wish there were more like him. Id do it but I dont need the mods breakin my chops.

Thank you for kind words.  What do you speculate is coming with DLC?

So if Rockstar does remove handling flags from all future cars, could they remove them from existing cars or are the cars we have stuck with the handling flags?

i don't see them removing them from old cars. rockstar doesn't like f*cking with old code or something like that. it'd be a nice dream though.

Don't get me wrong, I despise curb boosting (it's such a dumb feature) and at first I was in favor on the advanced handling flags because I thought "well, they suck but at least they're trying to get rid of curb boosting", sadly, instead of improving, the advanced handling flags got worse.

 

So yeah, advanced handling flags begone. I'll rather have to deal with Vagner tryhards curb boosting all the time in races if that means actually having fun driving any of the new vehicles.

 

And while we're at it, get rid of the spoiler traction bonus and downforce value too. The latter crippled several cool cars like the GP1, the Itali GTB Custom and the Ruston.

I don't think that applies to vehicles. There are plenty of times they've changed old vehicles now.

 

It's mostly just things like pegasus, and the car spawning system.

I've got a feeling that the upcoming update will introduce time limited items since they're becoming more and more popular these days. Of course, Rockstar has been doing this for years with various T-shirts and other clothing items but I feel like this time they'll do it on a much bigger scale. Hope I'm wrong.

After racing these past couple days, i've noticed that curb boosting doesn't give you too much of an advantage? idk, i've only noticed a very slight change, but most people have catchup and slipstream on anyways

 

i'm on the team of getting rid of flags, but i hate to be a debby downer. i just don't see it happening.

I hope you guys are right and they remove them.  I just don’t think they will.  My very future here may depend on being right this time....

Im stickin with what I predicted last.

Short trailer today(probably not, hoping for few twitter pics maybe today) or next friday, or the friday after haha one of these damn Fridays!

Week of 4-11 for 4th of july stuff.

Week of 11th will be short event week with release on 16th

Im expecting a few poker tables and some slot machines, plus R told us about the lucky wheel. Im thinkin maybe 25 total vehicles. They may throw in a few extras but Im keeping expectations low for this one.

@Fun 2 So when they are testing (Or heavy testing) They are utilizing everything added with the new update? So they want to make sure everything functions as intended (Casino Games, entering into buildings, etc)? And during this heavy testing the new dlc is with Sony/Microsoft... wouldn't they do the heavy testing for the build prior to sending it? (Cause if the big two find critical bugs, doesn't that trigger them to deny it?) Just wondering. 

They do, every studio does(EA? not so sure)

 

But the final stage of development starts after the they have sent the DLC has been sent to Sony/Rockstar.

 

Understand it like this:

 

1. You are the topper of the class(very studious guy), you have to submit an assignment as a team to your teacher by the end of the week.

 

2. Now, you have done your and have submitted it to your teacher.

 

3. After that you find out that the assignment you submitted has few errors in it, some can be small grammatical which can go un-noticed by your teacher, some are errors that let down your name.

 

4. So what you do is solve the errors and then again submit it to your teacher for further verification and submission.

 

5. Now put yourself as a developer from Rockstar, teacher as Sony/Microsoft, and assignment as Casino DLC itself.

 

Got it or was it really confusing?

I don't think we're going to hear anything else from R* until like, the 11th.

 

They'll release the trailer on that day, and then the Tues/Thurs after is the DLC.

That makes sense. Thanks. So if a critical bug is noticed, during the re-certification process, is only that part that's looked at or is it the whole update again?

I agree with you about trailer coming on Friday.  I think small chance today, but most likely next Friday.  I think about 20 cars, with about 5-7 released day one.  I expect some new MOC paywall thing for casino, but hope I am wrong about this.  I think we own our own suite and run missions for chips. I think there will be a 10,000 gambling cap.  I think there will be some new clothes, especially suits, but we will mostly be disappointed because RS doesn’t put a lot of time into clothing.  I also think there will be one surprise item that no one expected, probably an armed vehicle, that will probably upset many here.  I also think it is coming the July 16.  See if I get any of these things right, all just guesses based on what little we know.

This is very funny.  It is like some have multiple personalities.  I always like your posts, spot on in my opinions.  

[Hazzardtohimself]

What we expect Rockstar to provide (in a month or two) : 

Spoiler

 

 

What Rockstar will provide (in two months or so) : 

Spoiler

 

But I think we're done for this week. There might be a mention of 'upcoming attractions' next Thursday, along with the usual Independence Day stuff / events, but that's about it.

what exactly are YOU speculating? all i've seen you do is just bitch and whine about other people's posts.

 

 

OT: i would love for them to add a modern camaro. yeah, we have the ruiner but i haven't seen a proper modern one. 

 

i'm not a huge car guy so if i'm mistaken, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

what if the business to the casino is sort of like money lending/being a mob boss? i know that's a huge stretch but then again, we didn't think a flying bike with missiles were going to be a thing, didn't we? 

I agree 100% with that first statement, he’s been warned multiple times about this, this is a public forum so why do others have to conform to his standards of what to post, he’s not a mod and it’s getting annoying at this point.

 

Also modern Camaro being added is a W, seems like R* are getting a little bit closer to making the cars they add carbon copies so hopefully they do it justice

IMO, I don't mind getting more military vehicles in the game as long as they're balanced.

 

Like, I wouldn't mind an F-14 Tomcat, an Abrahams tank or even Airwolf, which is plausible sci-fi at least.

When can we expect vehicle leaks if any?

It depends:

 

1. If the bug is too small which wouldn't even be noticed by many players then sometimes it might happen that it is left as it is.

 

2. If the playerbase can notice it and it only involves a particular set of functions which aren't repeated again and again anywhere else then that particular code is only tested.

 

3. If the bug is critical and/or the function in it is called multiple times then that whole module need to be tested.

 

4. If a bug can severely affect the performance of the game and is not limited to a particular area( module) of the code then the whole code need of the game(DLC) need to be checked and solving that thing can easily take ages.

 

So yeah, it really depends on the bug/glitch we are talking about.

RS has made two official announcements.  Are you even paying attention?

what makes you think i think rockstar havent made two new announcements?

did you notice the bit where i said new info 

 

what info have we already got ... its gonna be a casino/resort with valet parking 

the changes to the game happen on thursday for the last 3 week rockstar have changes the map (Are you even paying attention?) but this week they do nothing so the hype train dies 

[Cigars and chill]

All speculation seems to be the same.

 

 

Rockstar should do this. But if they do that they will just mess it up so forget it.

Curb boosting might not give any advantage with catchup and slipstream, at least not for the person in the lead but non contact and catchup disabled is another story. Here's a vid showing the difference

put in spoiler and mods can just remove it if they feel it's necessary

There is no chance of a trailer this or next Friday. Most of the US is on a beach somewhere for the next 7-10 days. This is the biggest Summer vacation week of the year.

I find this Rockstar oopsie suspicious, specifically the Itali GTO discount mistake.

Gosh darn it! I missed that one, I could've picked a second GTO half off. *Runaway crying*

 

2 hours ago, Fun 2 said:

I just can't believe that it was an oopsie, and that I shouldn't overthink it. Someone at R* decided to subtract 400k for no reason ?

-snip-

so maybe something happened to the Itali GTO on the dev server ?

A new Itali ?

That's what I said, they do test the update before they send it to Sony/Microsoft.

That sort of testing is all about fixing critical bugs, while heavy testing is supposed to fix the bugs that went under the radar.

They take a general look at the update and decide it's in good condition to be sent to Sony/Microsoft.

However, there are bugs that appear when it's in good condition simply because no one is perfect to figure out the slightest change of code could lead to a huge amount of bugs.

That is why game development is complex. Sometimes, they find out one of the bugs that went under the radar is critical enough to delay the update.
