Isn't that because we don't steal money or anything that can lose value from bullets in the doomsday heist? Iirc there's a fixed payout in the prison break and the humane lab heist also 

Definitely, but be fair, do you think they wouldn't put in a deduction mechhanic in that one given the opportunity? I'm amazed they didn't pull a repeat of the Merryweather Heist with the Act 2 fianle where you see what you would've been paid, but then Contract Void: -$20,000,000

What if they are going to make cars and vehicles have realistic top speeds? To be honest, if I think about it, it's nor very feasible...San Andreas will feel too small if one is doing 300mph, not mentioning all the rendering problems that will occur on lower-end systems...

Technically speaking they could already do that on current gen as there's not much pop in issues on the countryside, and on the city our speed is hard limited by traffic.

 

As you say, the problem is that it would make the map feel much smaller and shorter...

 

So we would need to make the map at least TWICE as bigger as to make it feel NOT small(which doesn't exactly means it would feel bigger)...Like say, having the Northern part of the San Andreas state with San Fierro to boot, within a driving distance from Los Santos and Southern San Andreas. 

 

Obviously I don't see them ever doing that for a map expansion, this kind of effort would be reserved for GTA 6.

Idk I think thats a real possibility. Restricted air/water space where the coast guard or air force takes you down. 

 

Not unlike they have done with every past GTA game to keep you off the other islands. Not unlike RDR2 where a Super sniper Marshall kills you pretty much instantly if you go to New Austin too early.

Sure, I guess its possible, I surly wouldn't mind it. I even kinda like the idea. But I don't see them doing it just to hide the whole island behind a huge paywall. I know its R* but thats would be a dick move even for them. Remember how everyone thought that the casino rooftop would 100% have a no gun zone to prevent people from killing eachother? yeah, exactly. 

I think all they have to do is block every activity and every shop on the island so its for "residents only". I guess taking away all the weapons from "tourists" would be a nice middle ground as well (but that probably won't happen since they love griefers tho)

I think they'll give us 1 or 2 new vehicles with the Halloween update because there was no dripfeed with the LSSS.

If they had plans for a Halloween update they wouldn't add the fort zancudo easter egg with the SummerSpecial. So don't get your hopes up. Maybe something after Halloween.

Lol. Speaking of, if they adding a new island they also have to add a little bit of underwater terrain around it. Perfect opportunity to hide more easter eggs in the water.

would it be possible for rockstar to add sharks around the island for the upcoming dlc(if in fact that's where/what the new dlc will be)?

I see no reason why they couldn't. NPC density would be way lower on a tiny island. Couple sharks surly wouldn't affect performance.

I'm still adamant its a finished North Yankton. Just in time for Christmas too.

Why finish North Yankton when doing so would require the same amount of work as creating an entirely new location? That place has a single road, 2 buildings and a church. Thats it. 

But the biggest problem with NY? Its not an island. So they would have to create some invisible walls around it. And that means no aircrafts as well.

i tried a few weeks ago to drive at like 300-500mph using the F1 cars with mods in SP, and damn, even without traffic turning was horrible

Because it's too soon after launch? Maybe some people want to actually save f*cking money and not feel a rush to buy the new consoles as they can't play their most played game anymore?

The first 'exclusive' update damn well better be something actually worth it 

I get that, but if you get an Xbox you don’t have to worry about that because you can still play all your old games on the new console.

You meant the car handling or the the pop-ins?

 

Realistically, you shouldn't have top tier handling at 300 even on the F1 cars since they're not build to drive on those speeds.

 

The same applies in-game, the cars are made with their current top speeds in mind.

 

At 500mph you were just begging to crash

I remember that back in the last gen days with the un-nerfed Slidey Cars cheat...Breaking 300mph with Michael's sh*tty rental Premier was the funniest sh*t ever.

 

Trying to steer a FWD car going 300mph with no downforce whatsover is no joke.

How do people get the Solomon thing done so fast, the random encounters never spawn for me. 

I've gotten one of the random encounters for Solomon and the rest of have drug deals that keep reappearing in the same locations.

Maybe they could trigger the death-by-stealth-shark animation should a player who isn't allowed on the island gets too close, we probably wouldn't see wild sharks (unless maybe they were part of a preanimated prop following a set animation rather than real AI sharks)

My friend, i don't think that the people at Rockstar can't call the re-re-release of the game and "improved and enhanced" version of GTA V, if they don't add the freaking animal npc's in Online like in Story Mode.
If we are going to have a new island and even mansions on it, would be nice if they add a subaquatic part of it where you can have your personal aquarium. All i know is that they must do a better job than the Penthouses, which was not bad in terms of a "concept sketch" that they tested for real mansions in a future update, but it did lack things to do there, which a mansion that will cost like 20M can't afford to not have new and interesting things in order to convince people to buy them.

IDK if u do this but, you can't be exactly in the spot where those things appears (i'm assuming you'r using a youtube guide), bcz maybe that makes them not to spawn. You most be in the periphery. Also, it can take like 20-30 minutes to appear, and you should change sessions something and they will automatically spawn (use to spawn your character in last know location).

Never buy the first production run of anything, especially cars and consoles.

 

Leave them for the crash test dummies and then move in when they are prime.

 

A few months on old gen versus UPS labels and microsoft helpchat?

Five days before it's launch, just like usual. So seeing as the release window has already been confirmed as Late 2021, don't even start get hyped or thirsty for info until we reach July 1st 2021.

Yeah I got them to work by just hanging out in the areas that the YouTube vid showed, the last one is the easiest you just have to hangout in Paleto bay for like 15+ min.

No I understand that, I probably won’t buy one right away, but my point was that you shouldn’t complain that they might add next gen exclusive content.

Well...i believe that who have the economical power to buy a frekaing ps5 can also buy a copy of the game. xD The question is: will PC have the same exclusive content? I hope so.

That's what i wonder. R* said they gonna treat PC as next gen, but would PC players have to pay some real cash and how much to get next gen access, even though PC always have potential to be next gen depending on hardware? If they just make next gen console version with ultra details that are available on PC, then PC will stay same as usual, but if there is some content like huge map expansion or new textures and engine features, then i don't know if there will be some paywall for PC players to access that.

One thing that i could never support for more than one reason is monthly subscription and i don't think R* and take T2 would go for that route, but paying some sum like 20 or 30 bucks is more viable, but wouldn't want that also. There really has to be something significant and big improvement for next gen version to make me pay for it again. On the other hand, if i can't even play current version on PC because of paywall and there is a time period where current online accounts with character progression will be supported to be transferred, then i would be forced to pay in order to not loose my character like they did with character transfer from last to current gen.

I thhink they will not make a monthly payment for the use of GTA for PC, i mean, they don't do that for consoles either, it's the own consoles that take money from people in order for them to play online games, right? Also, why R* would risk that when they do enough money from micro transactions? Can u imagine the riot that would cause that they would charge now pc players with monthly subscription?

I think that's a really interesting and under-stated point, and it might well have influenced the decision to re-re-release an expanded and enhanced GTA5 rather than jump straight into announcing a GTA6 next year. 

 

The current economic climate might mean that there are not enough open wallets around the world willing to buy a cutting-edge new games console (and its games) right now, and not for the next year ahead at least.

 

PS5 will still launch of course, it has to, but personal budgets will get tightened in their thousands and millions around the globe. Even if someone is lucky enough for things to be ok now, maybe a significant number of them will decide it's worth keeping a little more cash in reserve just in case things get even worse. So they cut out some of the planned 'luxuries' just to be on the safe side.

As of now and probably until month of the release, we won't know what's their plan with next gen release and how it will look on PC or if it will change the game in any meaningful way at all. I also doubt they would go with monthly subscription for any platform seeing how in game economy is inflated, imagine charging monthly on top of that, players would loose interest quickly. On the other hand one time payment for possible expanded and improved version on all platforms could be their strategy (3 free months on PS5, so they plan on charging again for those who buy console later), but they really have to improve it significantly to entice people to buy it again.If there will be 2 version for PC, one current we play now and next gen one, there would be an option to transfer characters and that could motivate a lot of people to buy it again, because they would loose ''next gen'' support if they stay on previous version and there would be a short time window for transferring characters if they want continuing updates and playing with their character. This doesn't make sense for PC, since it's always the same platform with different hardware of course, but they could go with different ''next gen'' version on PC just to take more money. It's really confusing how they will handle it on PC, i hope it stays the same and PC players won't have to pay anything for next gen while they continue to maintain micro transaction model.

I think we are all overthinking this, lol. PC players didnt even got all the benefits of being in the same class of "next (current) gen", for example, you don't have at michael side mission to find that corpse in the mine shaft. You have the inscriptions on the walls of vinewood area, but they are there just for being there, we don't have any "treasure hunt" about it, like the next gen consoles got. Also those vehicles like the kraken, the blista compact, the duke'o'death, none of that came into PC after some years of next gen releasement.
They don't need to go greedy...they already do enough money to mantain the status quo, why touch that to create an issue that don't exist? One of the major objetives to re-re-release the game for the next gen is to make even more history with the game..."the game with 8 years old that went throught 3 generation of consoles. Also, it's an oportunity to maximize the PS5 sells in the begining (bcz people will have more will to buy the new console bcz unique content to GTA Online being added) and milk some more years of GTAO with less restrictions (i hope) in terms of dlc's potential withouth the restrains of this old gen code, while GTA 6 is yet in the making.

They will probably just make the next gen version look like the pc version looks like now and thats it. And after couple of updates they will stop supporting old gen.

If we lucky they might add:
- animals and all the sp props they removed from online 
- more trees (as we seen in the original trailer for gtav)
- updated traffic with new vehicles, new colors in the shop, new licence plates
- maybe new weather effects or a simple reshader like this one:

Spoiler

But on PC it obviously gonna be the same game as before, no need to buy a new version. If they tried that sh*t on PC no one would buy it lol.

edit:
@Lazlow007 - Seems like sound effects for future adversary modes (slow mo weapon kills? Something like the slasher perhaps?). The first part are hidden collectibles.

God, I just came across a video by some moron on YouTube speculating that the next DLC is definitely going to be on a tropical island... because the mods on GTA Forums changed the icon of the LS Summer Special board to Wilson from Cast Away. Because that's definitely a cleverly hidden hint, rather than just being a reference to, y'know, summer.
