Optional, apart from the clown horn.  That's the choice of tryhard losers.

 

Taste is subjective, I'm not sure it's prudent or wise to denegrate someone as a "loser" just for not sharing your particular views.

 

That's realy more of a twitter thing than a forum thing. Level 1310 and I'm a tryhard? I must play more often.

JB700 MKII, with:

 

• Anti-Oppressor never-miss missiles
• No heat-signature so can't be locked onto
• Bulletproof glass
• Bomb resistant
• Oil slick
• Rocket boost
• Flare counter-measures to assist allies
• Collision Avoidance System to avoid accidents and also avoid pedestrians (no using it to troll by running people over)

A perfect defensive vehicle.

I would pay 25 MIL GTA $ just to see this James Bond vehicle have it's proper value in GTA Online instead of just having DECORATIVE GUNS.

Btw I just realised current event week ends on July 24TH... so it will be the first time a gta update take over event week?

Rear-firing missiles would be an interesting weapon for a car like that.

I been looking at the screens of the penthouse. 

  Hide contents

The bar/party area and the arcade machines are in the same room. The office is off of this room. Basically confirms that the arcade cabinets have a few presets to choose from. 







Also this is where that room is located. 

 

 

Yeah we can figure out the layout just by looking at those screens. You wrong about the office tho, those doors lead to the Spa room  (https://thediamondcasinoandresort.com/the-penthouses).



Looking at the pictures you posted:

On the right, the part that you mentioned - Party area, Bar, Arcade games

In the middle part - Spa room (behind the bar) and Media room 

On the left side - Bedrooms and office. 

I think the whole penthouse has a "U" shape with a wall in the middle that separates everything.

You forgot about ejector seats

don't forget that all the gadgets are retractable.

so you can have it normal looking if not in combat.

Random observations probably already noted but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

This vehicle is next to the Wheel. This is probably the vehicle you win, and therefore probably the first week(?)'s prize?

 

 

 

 

The highest chip denomination is $5000, the smallest $100, in the roulette photo. That's fairly reassuring - not chump change, plus they have dollar signs on rather than just numbers.

 



 

Prizes from $200 to $100K?

 



 
 

 

the newswire said the first prize was the Truffade Thrax and that it would change weekly.

also that is the highest denomination shown, there is always a black chip, it will probably be $10k

?  Who's level 1310?

 

Don't take it to heart.  But a clown horn on a James Bond style car would be insulting.

Soooo........I wonder if the old casino will be changed in SP.

I don't think so.

 

Reason: GTA 5 SP is set in 2013 and GTA ONLINE is now based on present day.

Oh yup definitely the spa room. You're right.

Did Bunkers, Facilities, Benny's, etc all show up in SP?

 

Nah man SP is staying the way it's always been.

[RabbitBoi]

Yeah~ was thinking the same thing tbh

I'm thinking it might. Everything exterior-wise from updates that have been added (bunkers, facilities, nightclubs, etc) have all been props so they can be disabled when in sp or in missions. It seems unlikely that the entire casino rebuild is a prop that can be disabled or reverted. If it is added in sp, I wonder if they just have the building but no way to use it. That would be a big slap in sp peoples' faces.

 

Also, I'm asking this from Fun or anyone else with GTA coding knowledge. If it is just a prop and the current casino is indeed still in sp, will we have to load in the new building everytime we launch GTA Online?

The new "building" is probably just a giant prop covering the old casino lol

That's exactly what it is. I keep looking at it vs the Casino we have now, and it's definitely designed to cover up that old building jusssstttt barely.

What parking lot renovation? It looks the same to me.

If you compare the two it seems they made it more detailed. But I guess that can also be a prop

Parking lot is definitely different as well as the entrance roads. Theres almost more palms scattered around, different bushes, a new sign and the pavement looks fresher. And lastly the slots on the northern portion of the lot are different.

Well we will know soon enough I suppose. PC guys will rip the update apart before we can even download it.

[RabbitBoi]

I’m looking forward to the hidden content the most. I wanna see what’s lurking behind those 5 new cars we get on day one.

That's all texture changes and prop placement. We know they can do that. Talking about actual map changes that would have to appear in story mode though, I don't see any.

Would be nice to have something new in sp. Even though I never play it. But yea I'm starting to agree with you. Will be interesting once someone does an under the map glitch and you can see the old one

The only weaponized vehicle I'd want from this update* is something heavily armored and includes non-lethal missiles (i.e. a Vigilante MkII based on the Nolanverse Batmobile with Insurgent armor and kinetic missiles with R2k tracking to swat Oppressors out of the air).

 

Otherwise it's something that will either be rendered useless by the MkII Oppressor or that becomes the next MkII Oppressor-esque grief-o-matic vehicle.

 

*not including heroic new aircraft or RC vehicles

Those were all just props or recolours, barring the door to Benny's. This is actually changing the map in ways other than just placing things on it.

 

The hedges and fences around the car park are different, the trees have been replaced, the road has been changed. The casino itself could just be a massive prop, but those things are actual changes to the geometry.

ay can i get a cupcake?

I doubt the new casino covers up the old one, you can clearly see a new entrance in the limo screenshot, it wouldn't fit normally there because the space would be occupied by fake interior from the old casino, the game supports two map types - MP and SP, each have different map files, so they can have the casino show in MP but not SP

I think all those things are props already though. They can remove stuff and replace it with other stuff. They have done it with like hundreds of props on the map already between SP and Online. 

 

What I am saying is I don't think any of it will appear in SP. Especially since they would have to alter/remove one of Trevor's switch scenes.

I've read on these forums that isn't the case. I'd like to hear from some modders about this.

The thick hedges around the parking lot aren't just props, as far as I know. They're a part of the map itself, so it's more difficult to remove or change them than simple stuff like a light pole.

Ah well idk. I do know they had a long time to figure it out though.
