Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk IX

Sorry my mistake, BTW my message was for you, I hope you understand my point of view about the timeline

I understand the whole layout of the “timeline” I’ve been playing day one like most others on here. The whole ‘Good Fellas’ storyline is not the end all option that everyone has to go along with like drizzle wants. Just because he wants to sit in an office and buy crates all day doesn’t mean that old characters from GTA 4 Liberty City cannot be reintroduced to do work with if they expand the online map.

Because GTA Online has a story like GTA V, GTA IV etc., and has also a timeline that intertwine with the GTA V one.

GTA Online dayone/Ill Gotten Gains pt.2 early 2013

GTA Online Lowrider/Cunning Stunts SVC between 2013 and 2017

GTA Online Gunrunning - Casino Heist ongoing

Yeah but none of that means the characters I’ve mentioned cannot be introduced to our online character. That’s literally what we are talking about and you’re still not comprehending.

Absolutely disagree. R* can reintroduce all the characters he wants despite the fact we are CEO and they are drug dealers.

If we will reach another city probably we will have to restart our business and we'll need someone expert of that city (Little Jacob or more likely Malc from Bikers DLC, Tony from After Hours DLC or Packie from the last one)

 

This plot could be similar with Saints Row 3 plot, where the protagonist reach another city where he has no power and where there are other gangs, then he decides to recruit new members of his gang that know well that city

The enhanced version will just make it look more like the PC version. It will run better and they will probably add animals to it. Maybe more trees (you can see in GTA V trailer that the original version of the game had way more trees in paleto bay, they removed them to get better performance). And If we are lucky they might add high res textures and a shader like this one. Other than that it will be the exact same game as before.

And no matter what will they do with this "enhanced" version of gtaonline it will NEVER justify releasing GTA VI without its own online mode made in that new engine.

The difference between GTAV and GTAVI will be so jaw dropping that by the time GTA VI is out no one will want to play the old gtao anymore. You have to think how much money they made with gtaonline. They would be crazy not trying to recreate that with the next game.

Your idea that GTA VI will be released without multiplayer mode and they will just keep improving the old gtaonline we have right now is simply ridiculous my man. The code is a mess, its barely holding together cause trying to change or improve anything about the old code creates 1000 new bugs.  Releasing GTAVI without a new version of gtaonline would be like releasing GTAV with GTASA-MP mod. Or releasing RDR2 without RDRO and instead giving us RDR1 online. It would be too outdated.

We will either start with a new character or they will let us port our old character into the new character creator. They will probably create some kid of story explanation like "You killed the wrong guy and now you became the most wanted person in LS! the government is on to you and they seized all your belonging. You have to change your identity and fly to a new city to start fresh" 

There’s no reason to think they’ll be using a new engine for GTA 6. Every R* game since that table tennis game in 2006 has been using RAGE and Euphoria. They’ve spent millions developing the former and investing in the latter, would be dumb to drop it for 6. Especially when you consider they’re basically the best real-time ragdoll physics engines on the market.

Same but improved engine* What I mean its a different game, different code. You can't just port the whole online mode from one game to another... Just like they couldn't port GTA4 multiplayer to GTA5. That makes no sense. Its like saying you can drop horses to gtao or cars to rdr2 and expect it to work without a problem by simply copying the 3d models to a different game. 

gtao is so messy at this point that even R* dosn't touch that old code cause it breaks the game.

You have to change your identity and fly to a new city to start fresh" 

That's just it: if they make GTA VI to even the standard of RDR2 (including things like hair/clothing physics), then none of that will be compatible with the current, ageing GTAO we have now, which doesn't have things like Ornatrix hair physics built in at the engine level. So even if they were going to let players travel from GTA V's map to GTA VI's map and back, your character model wouldn't look the same going back and forth, which'd be jarring as f***. And probably just flat-out incompatible, frankly.

 

That leaves two options for cross-map, cross-generational (cross two generations, even!) GTAO: either limit GTA VI to be on a level with GTA V (hah, nope - do people really think R* will make GTA VI less advanced than RDR2?), or ...completely rebuild everything in GTA V to match GTA VI. They're already taking ages making GTA VI - if they rebuild GTA V (which took half a decade to make) at an even higher level of detail, then they're effectively making two ultra-expensive, time-consuming games at once. That's just absurd when you stop and math it out.

 

As for character transfer, again, if they make drastic changes to the character creator, I doubt it'll even be possible - and that's without considering how not every car from current GTAO will come back in VI, or how R* needs players to be broke when starting out again, in order for some people to fork out for microtransactions. I suspect that it'll be more like a returning player bonus: some unique cosmetic unlocks, maybe a head-start sum of money, or a free car and basic safehouse. Nothing that'll stop players needing to buy Shark Cards, mind, but just enough that long-time players don't go into 'GTAO 2.0' with nothing to show for all the millions they made back in original GTAO.

While everyone is busy thinking abt mile high club and map extension ....i got an idea....it would be kinda awesome if rockstar gives us some movie making business related dlc ......i mean studio area in gta online is untouched .....it can be utilized in a nice way

I gotta say i dont rage reading posts like ever, but those last few pages...were close. Guys, just reiterating here:

 

1) GTAVI WILL be single player only. They will not make gtao2 come with gta6. Decoupling the games should've been the only clue you needed. GTAO2 will not come till GTAO loses ate least 50% of its playerbase...and thats not le.ak, its just logic. I have a huge post about this some pages back.

 

2) Summer update will have at most a new building with a few quests. The wording to me highly suggests focus on changing freemode substantially in preparation for ps5 launch. netcode improvements possibly.

 

3) Expect a phenomenal dripfeed...they surely need the money and need the game to stay relevant and there are some bombshells dropping before the winter update.

 

4) Decoupling GTAO from GTAV also means decoupling it from LS. If the game is going to be around for 2+ y3ars after GTA6 launches which is my personal expectation, then it needs new places to tell new stories. And hence north yankton is the wrong idea. Its either LC or VC, it has to lay the groundwork for future content.

 

5) Open wheel racing is BORING and rockstar knows that. Know why they only released two cars? Cus had they released 10 people would still only buy one cus they are all the same LOL

Regarding GTA VI being single player only, it's actually more revolutionary than I thought. After testing the demo that was leaked to the dark web site SilkGaming.tor last night, I discovered it's going to be multiplayer, but you're partially right. It's not online. However, the whole scheme that has gone into this making it possible is honestly brilliant.

 

5G towers increased their range last year after being strategically placed near big cities, eventually spreading to more rural communities in both the US and the UK. For anyone who's not sure why it's relevant, it has something to do with next-gen game controllers. On the Xbox Series X's wireless controllers, they have the ability to use 5G towers to charge indefinitely without having to plug in, and it's able to upload/download data at a near-insane rate, making game latency a thing of the past. After Sam Houser met with consultant Nathan Fielder on how they could make single player games popular again, they then met with Bill Gates, who owns Microsoft who owns Xbox who is playing GTA VI. Seeing an opportunity here, they've brought back single player prominent games, with split-screen multiplayer, so no one has to plug controllers into the console, and everyone can play GTA VI in the same room with the six protagonists as they take down Liberty City once and for all, provided they're all six feet apart, and a 5G tower is outside.

yeah i didn't believe it either, a few minutes after playing the demo (which wasn't name gta vi) I began to question if they came up with too convoluted of an offline multiplayer system, but the game developers insisted it was the right move. idk i'm not the best game tester, been fired twice already, once was for leaking a game nobody was going to play, and the other time because i slept alongside the sleep function in one of the games.

I just dont agree with two aspect that you said: VC map is out of the question. That will possibly be the map of gta 6, they wouldn't waste their ace card for the next title only bcz "gta online 1".

The OW races will probably only be more developed in the next dlc. They just launch two F1 cars to test the waters. Probably they will add improved race tracks and of course they will release new vehicles, there's always F1 fans that would love that and they didnt made a complete new vehicle class for the sake of 2 cars, if they believe it will not be that popular then isntead of 10 new F1 cars, they will add just another 5. And people almost only brought the progen pr4 bcz it was the best of the two, performance wise.
