This is interesting.  I wonder how this would work?  "Cushion the blow".  I wonder if that means the limo will be armour plated and thus invincible to griefers?  Might be a fun way to lead them into a trap...

It should be luxury taxi service rather than a personal driver.

Well...I really want a npc drive me with my party bus

When online came out and you started a character, it said ‘ten years ago’ on the screen before you load in to Online with your character. 

 

 

 

 

mmm no it did not

 

R* said on a interview back in the day that gtao(at the time) take place 6 months before the events in story mode.

[ReverseFlash]

Well looks like we will be able to walk into the doors at the Casino confirmed by the pic in the valet parking section. The description even says "Step out of the front door".

I expect it'll be instant travel, just like the existing office luxury helicopter...

Correct me if I'm wrong but are we getting pretendy digital horse racing as opposed to actual "real" digital horse racing. 

 

R* are truly the irony masters.

Sounds like somebody's confusing online with the North Yankton prologue...

Looks like it, but it was like this in San Andreas. I don't think we'll see real horses in the game at all.

Nah, it'll have a loading screen like every other property.

No. You can literally see through the front doors. We can walk through the doors. Why would they give it see through front doors and then make us go through a loading screen.

All very interesting but the most pressing question is whether we can drive the bandito in

I did the twitch prime setup using a 30 day Amazon trial on a second email address. I linked everything together so I hope it works. Setting up twitch on xbox one with 2 step authentication is kind of a bitch.

The questions about the timeline of 6 years old game and its connections to the single player camgaign are absolutely useless IMO. What's the point? Development teams have changed many times and the narrative was sacrificed to the marketing goals. What will really change if C is canon ending or not? Will you populate TDMs or will that fix the Headhunter bug? Or maybe will it somehow get us matching black clothing without pink crap in that? Will it get us more top speed on the land vehicles?

Kinda matters for GTA VI's story if it's set in the present.

I hope so, because I'm looking forward to blowing up players engrossed in their gambling.

That's because most Online players have never played anything but that prologue.

Honest opinion.

Not impressed. I am getting major After Hours vibes from this, looks awesome in trailers and promo shots and was fun for about ten minutes and then got boring.

You can see through the front doors of many properties in Online. You still enter via a loading screen because that space is just a lobby - which is what it looks like in the Valet image you mentioned. It's a large and detailed interior, plus many players may be in there at once, there's very little reason for Rockstar to not make it a separate load.

So is it weird they added video game horses in a world where there isn’t animals? (At least in the online)

So how do we reckon the membership will work?  Will this be a daily fee? If so, what do we think the damage will be?

 

Standard Membership

VIP Membership

 

I don't like to say, but are we thinking 10k per day for standard and 50k per day for VIP?

On the website it says: "And if you want to be the latter, you’re only a penthouse key away from enjoying the kind of status that only systemic elitism can provide." on how to get vip membership so I think there´s no daily fee but rather the penthouse paywall.

Agreed but how long before ninety percent of the Casino space becomes useless to use like the Nightclub did? I haven't set foot on my NC floor in months. It will be just rushing straight to the Tables or spawning in the Penthouse only to leave immediately.

he's in the car with wei cheng, and the gold medal objective requires you to blow the car up, which would mean they'd both be dead if the gold medal objectives are canon

Well, you're supposed to 360-no-scope all enemies while playing with Franklin quite early on, even though Michael says that Franklin's aiming is bad, also you're supposed to speed through most missions which could inevitably cut important dialogue pieces during missions, so I those requirements aren't canon at all.

The graphical update on the exterior of the casino was probably what impressed me the most. It's the biggest map change in the history of GTA Online by a long shot

imagine going to the same place now in single player and then to online to see the same location

Exactly. There's no reason for the casino to be different and @ReverseFlash, you don't really want to because of performance issues.

They've given us so much stuff with the Casino and Resort. What else did you want them to do with it?

Aye that was in the bookies though - this time there's literally an "actual real track" right next door
