How can y'all be expecting a brand new fat dlc in june when we're in the middle of a pandemic and even last year's and 2018's summer dlcs all came out end of july (with an announcement only 7 days before afaik).

 

Why would there not be a fat dlc? Game development is one of few professions which can easily be done remotely. Yes, essentially all companies are affected by the pandemic but a lot of them still operate, albeit at reduced capacity. 

 

I don't think you understand the multi billion dollar product that GTA Online is. Do you think Rockstar will just cancel a DLC because they can't get voice actors to come to the studio? Money finds a way and Rockstar's money will certainly find a way to produce a DLC, even if it is a few weeks late.

How? We look at other studios and we see that they did update their games even now, in the middle of a pandemic. We also know that whole new games are developed as we speak, not just simple dlcs for online.

I know it’s unlikely that they’ll use him, but at this point I don’t think they care whether it was before or after story mode, because a lot of things don’t line up either way you look at it. 

A lot of little things, sure. But nothing backbreaking. Rockstar made a very conscious decision to make the events of GTA:O from the gunrunning update until present day to occur in real time. There have been hints in Online DLC's that reference the events of GTA V. Tao Cheng references the Pacific Bluffs Country Club, on the side of the highway when he's riding with the online protagonist, his translator, and Agatha Baker during the mission "Casino- Strong Arm Tatics." He mentions "I almost got killed at this country club once already. Never again." Which is a direct reference to ending C. Rockstar still very much cares about continuity and the storyline of the HD Universe as a whole, even if certain little things don't line up.

Okay.  Well Trevor is in online and if you choose to kill him that wouldn’t make any sense, also the only way Devin dies is if you choose death wish.

I am a HillyBilly so I would love to see a HillyBilly update. You could own trailer houses, also a new country radio would be nice. The trailer homes would not be moveable and have a nee interior. 

Lol, just play as Trevor in story mode. 

[z3r0 c001]

we already know they have cars modeled and ready to go at any given time, it wouldn't take much to add a new property and a bunch of cars and clothes, maybe a weapon or two.  hell I bet they have mansions already done or nearly done, sitting on a shelf.  mansions and a bunch of luxury items, clothes and cars, makes the most sense right after a big paying heist update, call it Ill Gotten Gains Pt III and you got an automatic banger. 

 

if they had to scrap any given update it wouldn't be that hard to cobble together a new one in short order.

Of course Trevor is in online. The events from the beginning of online up until right before Gunrunning, occur before the events of GTA V. In smugglers run, which came out after Gunrunning and therefore occurs in real time after the events of GTA V, Ron mentions that Trevor has "gone all Vinewood." Any missions or content that has been released with gunrunning or with any DLC after that, occurs in real time as the DLC has dropped, meaning post events of V.

 

Option A and B are not the canon choices of the HD universe, according to the hints Rockstar has dropped in recent DLC's. Option C, Deathwish, is the option in which the events of the HD universe will follow.

I think both After Hours and Arena Wars were fantastic ideas... but they were kind of half-assed, unfortunately.

Arena Wars has a fantastically designed environment in the arena, amazing vehicles, great VO (until you've heard it 100 times), and some fun game modes. It would be a flawless DLC except 1) everything costs about 2x what it should and 2) Arena Points

I’m just saying that if they really wanted to use him it could make sense, I really don’t think they care at this point.

Online is canon up to the Pacific Standard Heist. Everything after that is different. MAYBE Lamar's Lowrider missions might work into the GTA V story mode, but nothing else.

That's not true at all, and the hints to the story of GTA V in recent updates only confirm that's not true at all. Rockstar has deliberately and consciously hinted at and referenced the events of V in Smugglers Run and the Casino Update in order to fit the events of online both pre- gunrunning and post- gunrunning into the narrative of the HD Universe as a whole. 

 

You can disagree if you want but this is Rockstar's story, and R* has chosen to fit the events of online into the narrative of the HD universe and to continue the "canon-ity" of online itself, meaning that online isn't in some separate universe from IV and it's story DLC's, and V, as some have tried to claim on these forums. Rockstar has deliberately tried to keep them as part of the same universe, even if there are some slight oversights.

Wait a minute there is a pandemic? Is that why everyone is wearing masks?. I wore mine to look cool.

That's why we need the scientist outfit with the mask in gta online !

Their masks are similar to "ffp2" masks irl. 

And a Rockstar description in the newswire like :

"a rumor of an unknow pandemic touch Los Santos, take care of yourself, your friends and your family.

The scientist outfit is now available to purchase in all clothing stores , buy it now !"

All they posted was a city morgue   X rockstar collaboration, I don’t see it being a stretch that it isn’t gta related

I think you’re forgetting the fact that they simply do not care about the timeline between online and story mode, wasn’t the Cheng guy that is in the casino update killed as well during the story?

His death was optional.

You were only required to kill his father

That’s right, and that brings me back to the point I was trying to make earlier. 

[TheFranchise]

In Smuggler's Run, maybe not directly, but Ron does mention that Trevor is alive and has gone all Vinewood, which confirms the option C ending as Canon.

Ron also says that "quid pro quo" is Greek in one of those missions, so I'm not sure how reliable he is.

How does that go back to the point you made? You've claimed that Rockstar does not care about the timeline between V and Online and the greater HD universe, and I've given you evidence from Smuggler's Run and The Casino update that counters that claim. If Rockstar didn't care about how the events of online fit in in regards to V, they wouldn't bother mentioning it. They basically, in an indirect way, tried to explain how Tao Cheng was still alive considering how option C played out.

 

"I almost died here."

 

That doesn't sound like them not caring about how the two timelines relate to each other.

Im pretty sure Ron would know what his former business partner is doing considering he kept him in the loop about what he was doing during the events of V.

Also Paige talks about the Jay Norris incident, Lester about entering Humane Labs through the sewers and many other hints.

That there is two options that would make sense, the option to kill Trevor, so he wouldn’t be alive if it was after and the death wish option where you could potentially kill mr. cheng.  Therefore R* doesn’t care how players look at it.  It’s almost as if the events in story mode never even happened.  That was my original point.

Lester also mentions something during the casino heist.  About sky diving out of a cargobob.  Which was a heist during sp.

I think there is some confusion. The option where Trevor dies doesn't make sense because Ron mentioned he is alive in Smuggler's Run.

My whole point it that there is a lot of things that don’t make sense either way you look at it.

Does gta get updated in qabeta 3?

[Crateman]

We need a teaser asap 

[AUScowboy]

Welp, now that I’ve seen that Mafia 1 is being remastered my hype for GTAO has died even more (especially if the next dlc is any combo of C&C or sh*tty Morgue). I’m sure there will be some cars/vehicles/new features that excite me when the update does drop, but at this point I’m far more excited for Mafia and am truly over how awful R* is at communicating anything about their games be it the next update or the third release of the game itself lol. Just the fact that they used old trailers and showed nothing of what next gen GTAO will look like is not a good sign IMO.

Im also excited for mafia 1 remake

 

Los santos is currently a small map for this game gen, the cars are slow and u have no crouch nor prone possition, pvp is bad and the broken mosquito makes it worse.

 

people will move on to five m (where they can be cops) or to single player mods or just go to another sandbox game more according to this current gem
