Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk IX

It's a weird case, I myself not sure what to make of it. Even though, the "2x on Survivals" that appears on the loading screen is up for two weeks, I feel like Rockstar is following the usual, not rising any suspicions, but then the podium car says "Ends August 10". It makes you wonder if we are getting a new event next week or they are just giving it time until they decide to extend it. Maybe, by that time, we would have a new article or something confirming the release date.

I believe a similar case happened on RDO with the event that preceded the new update. The same event was extended and it was weird, only for us to be informed that a new update is coming.

Honestly, I just think the guy that's supposed to update the Social Club Events page just didn't know for sure and went for one week like usual, while it's probably the promotional podium car image with the fancy-looking graphics and font we should trust. This event will last for two weeks, not one.

Well, as far as i know, if they would do a LC map and not a NY, that location was going to be far than LS, like, in the opposite coast of the US.

 

 

True, thats why i dont thinks its LC either. Should be something more connected to LS. IMO

Of course, but still should be just another smaller area... doenst makes sense if they really increase maxicum capacity

And why build another entirely new smaller city just to justify North Yankton?
My point is, if is a loading screen travel it should be separated lobby, so the new map need to be big as Los Santos, and we know thats not happening until GTA VI
And if is not and its really north yankton, should be far away from LS, and thats doenst makes sense in San Andreas map, we should reach somewhere near first

Why not build another city? I dont really see the problem here.

And how exactly do we know that a mapexpansion or new city wont happen until gta 6? May I remind you that R* themself said that there probably wont be new heists after the OG Heists came out and they just now teased the fourth (!) Heistupdate. We know nothing about what they are actually planning.

 

Does North Yankton make sense? Not really. About as much as LC.

The chance of them adding a small Island with a new small city are way higher.

Thats what i think too. Just not with NY or LC.

I just said "GTA VI" as a basis, but i like more the idea that GTA VI will not come with a GTA Online 2.0 by itself, it will comes out of GTA Online 1.0 we have now.

My guess for the new location? Catalina island. A preview of a more tropical setting we might see in VI, not too big and close enough to LA/LS to randomly pop up near the main island without seeming weird like North Yankton would.

One or two Oppresors MkII would turn that in Dead Island 

[Crateman]

Iam still wondering what Rockstar Will pull out in this small dlc, but My expectations are low 

 

For the december dlc does not thrill me the idea of North yankton or Islands, seems bland to me, i really want GTA III map remastered but those are piping dreams 

[Piro]

Well time for another long post.
I doubt its North Yankton since its a small little town in the middle of nowhere,  it doesn't seem very "online friendly", just a bunch of small buildings and empty fields. And its not "entirely new location" since we been there in SP. On top of that I can't see a reason why would we want to steal something from there after all those huge heists we pulled off in LS.

Also R* made only a very small part of that map and STILL most of it was made by recycling the buildings we have in LS.  So they would have to put soooo much work into finishing it that they might as well make an entirely new location at that point (like a new smaller island). Here's a video showing how little there actually is in NY:

Spoiler

 

 

With North Yankton like less than 5% of the work is already done.

Liberty City on the other hand? Surly that would require a looooot of work as well but at least its an already functional map made in the HD universe. All they have to do is upgrade it a little bit, change trees, change some buildings, some textures, add extra props etc. So like... over 80% of the work is already done. Also adding LC gives them a lot of possibilities for future updates and would surly convince people to buy the game one more time. Think how much money they would make by simply re-releasing old content on the new map. Forcing people to buy another CEO office, another bunker, I/E garage and all that other crap. Same amount of profit for 10% of the work. From a business point of view that would be a brilliant idea. 

But still I believe that a small island the size of Paleto Bay is the most likely scenerio here. From all those ideas we had its the least amount of work.

I won't even address all those ridiculous ideas like VC, SF or LV... theres no way they would build an entire map from scratch just for a free online dlc. People have no idea how much work that would take. Creating the world is the most time consuming part of making a new game. If they did build a map like that they would just sell it as a separate game.

Yes, everyone should dismiss that. Everyone with half a brain can see thats fake. Also Yan and Tez saying its fake has nothing to do with them having insider knowledge, they just using common sense here.

True, they can reuse a lot of assets from RDR (Guarma) and GTA VI (if we assume it takes place in Vice City). And it wouldn't be the first example of R* reusing assets for other games.

Thats not how games work. New game, new engine, new physics, new code. You can just "copy" gtao 1.0 to a different game. Also the code of gtao is so messy that it barely holding together after 7 years.  They could just copy the map from GTA5 to GTA6 but I doubt it. Seems pointless since everyone would just spend time on the new map instead of going back to the old one they been seeing for the last 7 years. 

On the other hand maybe they going for recreation of the original GTA1? it had Liberty City, San Andreas (with a single city, just like the SA we have in gta5) and Vice City. 

So GTAVI SP = vice city
GTA(VI)online 2.0  = vice city + ported map from gta 5 (the same way they can port gta4 LC to gtao) + LC (that they might port for gtao in the future dlc). I guess its possible, but very unlikely.

oh we can't even say L.E.A.K now? nice. I like it.

We will see after nex gen version comes out, what this new version will bring to the table

GTA Online being considered "standalone" should mean more than just separated download, imo

[Insoluble Fiber]

It was mentioned that this update will most likely feature Open-Wheel creator mode.

 

I don't think that will be the main focus of the DLC. 

 

If that would be the case, the newswire would've surely mentioned it as it is in the game files already. I doubt they would want to keep OWC (as the main focus of the DLC) as a secret. 

 

Intuitively, that pic of the car that was teased could also confirm that. Why not just tease with a pic of some Open Wheel related content?

 

BUT.

 

I am fully aware how everything might be the exact opposite and counter-intuitive. 

 

R* teasing with new slick car which has nothing to do with OWC just to keep us guessing and then release a DLC based on OWC.

The characters in LC are mostly small potatos when we are the CEO of a criminal enterprise operating a full production line (well by our own hands)，r* have to make a well story to explain why we put down the business to play with those ppl.

 

I would like to see some old faces in scene but I dun like to see a illogic story or old charactwr get back to the water after they retired from business or having a good ending in former story.

 

That’s just it, they are not small potatoes and not every single person in gta online is a “criminal masterminds” a 12 year old with mommy’s credit card and oppressor2 is not a criminal ceo. Most of the people I said are not retired; just because you beat the game playing as Niko doesn’t mean the life in LC stops. Agent 14 could suggest Henrique and Armando as gun traffickers. Tony prince can recommend Luis for some nightclub business missions. Packie McCreary is definitely still alive in Los Santos so who is saying he can never go back to LC, he’s still running with heist crews because you have the option to save him online from the cops in a botched robbery. Elizabeta was a drug queen that was pretty well off because she called the shots. Lester definitely has contacts in LC because Lester is the biggest criminal mastermind in GTA. And I guarantee you Madrazo has LC contacts for us to work for if not straight up working for Madrazo in LC. You seem to forget how many characters were raised up in hierarchy because Niko and Luis helped get them there. Even Roman went up in the world after his cab stand fire because of insurance money and he upgraded his car fleet after. These are the exact type of situations that Rockstar would need to pull off to sell LC to the new and old players, the veterans would return to familiar faces and the newbies would get to learn and possibly want to play gta 4.

[OzakiLeona]

Of course creator will not be main focus on DLC. How many players ever use creator ? 1% ? Also it costs nothing.

DLC is there to milk cash from widest possible player base at best, keep everyone playing at least.

 

There just has been a pattern than creator will show up in next DLC, and it's likely.

Well.....  the dialogue in gtao told us the timeline is actually moving, Several dlc are actually related.

 

Stunt race to arena war(Stupidest 1)

CEO, warehouse, vehicle warehouse

MC, factory bunker 

Bunker, Hanger,Factory(We have wider connection to miltary and fire arm dealer and so we involved to the DD)

Factories,warehouse and bunker business make us well know in underground business and then Tony Prince try to convince us to run a  NG for washing money

NC make use more popular and rich, so we buy a penthouse for our success, And that's why Vincent know our name.

Casino and arcade have a link story

 

How will the story continue?

1st. we want a vacation place to spend or wash our money.

2nd we expand our business to other city

 

As I mentioned, the new island probably 1 mutual place for gta 5 and gta 6 online section. 

It should be somewhere the new gta 6 story not mainly happen in(support area in singlep layer and 2nd island for online section)....it maybe somewhere in regular size for several missions and big enough for several buyable properties with a decent distance(I assume they have 10 property and 3 km each, l) .....san fierro /vegas has a petty good size.

Vice city is fine but some rumor says either vice city or LC, so I exclude it.

 

New city probably not going to put in consideration as GTA 5 is already a old game owned by many players.

For old maps appeared in older gta. R* has enough data and resources such as city pictures,info, landmark when did research and a basic city design,

I think its importantier because; If they add a new map, it could mesn that whenever GTA VI releases, they would just add the VI Map to GTA Online, wont they make a Standaline version of gta:o for PS5?

i think GTA Online will become its own thing

They seriously dun match our GTA O character in 2020 as we own some factory, jet and company with factory and warehouse. 

Criminal should quite the business as soon as they earn enough money.........

Dont think they'd make another racing DLC cus ppl's reaction would be great, another racing dlc, meh...

Not to mention open wheel races are insufferably boring. I dont even own an open wheel car. Only racing I actually enjoy in GTA is sport/super stunts. I hope they leave owr to the creator and thats that.

What I am hoping for is a QoL dlc, with new vehicles sure but focusing on removing advanced handling flags to all vehicles that are useless because of them, a ton of new freemode activities, and maybe a new building with a few quests that introduce the storyline for december's update. And if we' re really lucky, maybe some car class rebalancing ( im looking at you pariah, infernus, bullet, sultanrs, gp1, etc) to make them more balanced again...put underperforming sports into sedans and underperfoeming supers into sports and overperforming sports into supers...not holding my breath on that tho. 

Edit: Bonus points if they fix car bugs that have been around forever, like the back armor bug on the scarab that lets u blow it up with 40 rifle shots, the xa-21 cant equit some mods or it will crash bug, etc...

 

Even better if they fixed that bug with lots of sport cars not making the jump in "in the city" stunt track

Cars will still be useless until they fix the stupid mosquito mk2

 

with every update there comes a ban wave of modders

 

Then again, racing will be involved, yes, but not main topic maybe

Your line of thought have only one flaw: a brand new map take literally years to be made. R* put hands to work in the map or maps of gta 6, whatever that will be, soon after the release of gta V. Dont forget tha they started to work in RDR 2, 8 years prior the release. So, do you really think they would go through all the work to take other big endeavour of making a map expansion to gta online as a brand new city? There's no way. At maximum, it can be a polished LC, bcz the map is already done. But no way we will get a new other city. So, if, IF, a map expansion is the "new brand location" and not just a new bulding, it will be just a polished new LC or a new small town, like NY, that would not be so hard to add new locations to it, but, if is NY do not expect more amount of land than the size of a Paleto Bay and Sandy Shores united, at most.

lc i still think might come anyway as has been pointed out its in the hd era  they worked on it before and it could take online to the next level  and lets be honest where else are they going to go north yankton would require more work as it is far more unfinished then lc and a new location would be. a complete rebuild . 

 

i calling it lc wiĺ be the map expansion and it is a map expansion yan has confirmed it and a new building is not a map expansion
