The Diamond Casino & Resort Grand Opening - July 23rd

Mods.

Can we please get a topic that explains step by step what we need to do to get the Twitch Prime benefits? Like how to link the accounts together and then to our Social Club?

 

Or at least can someone make one and not have it taken down?

that sound like an average day at a R* studio

[imburgundy]

Really excited for the horse racing and I noticed on the computer screen there is two events to bet on. A Single Event or The Main Event.....I really hope the main event is ran live in free roam, kind of a stretch I know, but would be amazing. I would settle for watching it on the tv screen as long as the race is ran on the Los Santos Race Track because the race they show in the trailer is not in Los Santos

I wonder if Tao Cheng will die at some point during the mission strings.

I also wonder if these mission events take place in 2013 or 2019...

all I saw were sports and supers, here's hoping they have a new CTS and other luxury sedans and/or limos

There is one player in the first screenshot, the girl with the pony tail on the left, but the others as well as the ones in the second onenare NPCs

I know the second one has NPCs, the girl on the left in the first is def a player and that dress is new, and I think the girl on the right in the first one might also be a player.  but at least one new dress confirmed!  which is good news and might mean more than one. 

I would also like new hair styles as well, that short one looks new

[MaddenedGhost]

I take that back, there is another girl in that screenshot, that's a player, there is a total of 5 players in the first screenshot, the 3 in the middle are NPCs, the females are wearing new dresses.

Online has already moved ahead in time, those vehicles are def new as well.  it's never explained but I think the universes are separate

[Talisman_83]

Models of the vehicles - who's the designated driver for that ride Tuesday morning? Still Foxy? I seem to recall various folk pitching in, including a mod or two.

 

PS f*ckin Tuesday!! Just hit me its 5 days away. Here was me and @White Shark on the September train

It's not confirmed until you're wearing it. They've used player characters as NPCs before, and given them clothing items we can't wear.

my country is some how blocked from playing poker in rdo, so is very likely gonna be an issue for me come tuesday.

 

any free vpn recommendations are welcomed!

There's no direct story affected interactions that are present in online. I suspect online has technically been ahead of the story from the beginning inspite of what we were told. None of the characters disposed off are present and it's possible Darnells was rebuilt before we got involved. I'm not aware of any dialog linking the two worlds.

Now that gambling is a thing in GTAO, I wonder if they will let us buy and sell stocks?

One way for R* to troll the player.

when?  every time a player is wearing something new in a trailer we have gotten it

[ghostsoap01]

I'm confident we will get new tattoos, new hair, and new clothes. In the artwork, top right, its a playable character with a hairstyle we've not yet seen in-game, new tattoo in the trailer. HYPE INCREASED. I think the last time we got hair was Gun Running, and the last time we got tats might have been doomsday heist or something? This will do a lot to freshen up the game for me.

Probably not as the dynamic is too complicated. It was meant to be a thing, but the amount of manipulation and corruption would suit too few and bugger the rest. Online is just too predictable to make stocks and shares a thing online.

Bryony is a player character for a start.

 

 

Along with the nightclub dancers, the yacht captain and many more.

 

And this is clearly a character made using the online character creator, but I can say with 100% certainty we can't wear these clothes.

Hahahaha!  Hey, I'm still TeamSeptember until Tuesday.  Who knows what horrendous bug or glitch will happen which breaks the game causing the DLC to be pulled last minute?

[ReverseFlash]

Rest in Piece old Vinewood Casino.

[IamCourtney]

Not especially hyped... Yacht 2.0 with casino games and some (hopefully soloable) missions? Mostly meh for me. Guess we'll just have to see what gets rolled into the dripfeed...

It's not free but I hear good things about NordVPN.

[MaddenedGhost]

Also, cheeky Rockstar with these impossible sun positions in these screens lol

That would help, thank you.

[OzakiLeona]

Hm .. just watched Broughy's video .. and this thing seems to make sense:

 

You will be able to buy chips for GTA$. I expect 1:1 ratio (based on same amounts of chips and GTA$ on the wheel of fortune).

You will play the game with chips. You will win chips.

You will be able to spend chips in the casino shop.

You won't be able to convert chips to to GTA$.

 

In other words .. chips are new AP. It's not something everyone will want ! If you don't like stuff in Casino shop. There is no reason for you to play the game at all. Or if you get all you want from the shop.

 

And the wheel seems to be once per day (it's mentioned somewhere). Question is how much it will cost.

at least this time the dripfeed will have a "purpose" they will release a vehicle every week and give us the chance to either buy it or test our luck and win it in the spin the wheel thing

ok, so they have used assests that we have access to for staff and named characters, they never use them for random NPCs,  at least some of the people in that VIP area are players, I am sure of it, they use trailers to showcase new stuff, why show a new dress on a player in the VIP area if it won't be available?

At the moment, this is how I feel.  Unless owning the Penthouse or whatever part of the Casino we can / Membership allows us to own a new business / money making opportunity, this update will be short lived for me.  I'm hoping for some new weaponry, interesting vehicles other than sports / super cars, and interesting clothing aside from suits.
