Depends on how you measure "bigness" of an update. Most game changing? Most new features? Most/Best vehicles? Biggest GB size?

 

The answers are varied.

Didn't think about that.. i wonder what variable R* was looking at when stating the next update will be the "biggest"

It should be:

$100 = $15,000,000

$50 = $7,000,000

$20 = $3,250,000

$10 = $1,250,000

$5 = $500,000

$3 = $200,000

 

In my opinion when buying ingame currency, The most expensive 'pack' should be able to buy the player a majority of content in the game or atleast all essential content. 

 

This use to be the case in 2013-2014, where 8 million would get you a high end property, fill that property with vehicles, weapons and some clothes. That was all you really needed in the simple days. As time has progressed though more and more content has been added while the value of the shark cards have stayed the same.

 

I dont see R* changing the value of shark cards but if they did im sure it would be a mess.

hmm for me, "bigness" is in terms of new content. New content being missions, properties, vehicles, etc.

 

hmm and maybe, the doomsday heist was one of the dlc's with more new content so far

It's definitely not Beach Bum, but it might be OG heists? In terms of missions, pay opportunities, vehicles etc.

Even this seems a bit low. You could easily blow $15m on three apartments and a couple of nice vehicles. Double these values and you'd get more sales on shark cards than you have now for sure.

gtaforums: Small island far away from the mainland is the most logical solution for a new location

Depends if we looking at it from our point of view (gameplay) or R*s point of view (effort / profits). 

But yeah, I would say DDH if we talking about new locations and the amount of vehicles with unique features they had to make (opressor, deluxo, avenger, stormberg, jetpack, chernobog etc) 

Or Casino (+casino heist since they probably planned both of those from the start). Making all those minigames probably took a lot of extra effort.

Honestly,  I'd change that to $100 - $20,000,000.

I would say it kinda progressed in order in regards to bigness; the first Hyst update, Lowriders, Executives and other criminals, Bikers, Import/Export, Gunrunning, Smugglers Run, Doomsday Hysts, Night Life, Diamond Casino and Hyst. 

Some were about the same size of content though so, I'm sure someone has the technical breakdown of what gave us more content and functionality,

I mean, on one hand, that would certainly be more fair. On the other hand though, do we really want microtransactions to be as accessible as possible? Because idk... 

I agree 100%.  I would never buy shark cards because I play the game... but they are ripping people off badly with the amounts nowadays.  Inflation in the gtao world is very real

Well, I assume their logic is seen from the perspective that Heists is the pinnacle of gameplay additions, and this time it's supposedly coming with a map expansion, which raise the bar even higher.

That and probably the overall cost of the new content, like cars, new properties, weapons etc.

Jesus, $10 for a single non-licensed sedan is harsh. How about $1 if Playground games can do that with Forza?

A luxury island with deluxe, palatial estates? Jeffrey Epstein DLC confirmed... (please, don't let this post kick off another human trafficking discussion, it's just a stupid joke. There's always that one poster who's says "well ackshewally, pimping has long been an aspect of the GTA franchise..")

During the lull waiting for the next DLC, you might be able to help with something.

 

It's widely known that cats always land on their feet and buttered toast always lands butter side down, so my question is thus - what happens if you strap buttered toast to a cat?

 

My best guess is they both do that manic breakdancing thing benches and various other GTA street furniture does sometimes when you smash into them.

 

In other news, I just ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon.

 

I'll let you know.

If we really are between 8-12 weeks away from this biggest ever update, and if their decision to go ahead with it is a recent one, then will they really have the time to test it all and get it out on schedule?

 

I recall that the casino update was significantly delayed because of bugs, and that all happened in 'normal' working conditions.

That's basically the levitation technology behind the Oppressor Mk.II.

 

A buttered feline spinning at 60,000 rpm actually defies gravity. That's why the Op. Mk.II makes such a weird sound.

 

Add to this a jet engine, some handlebars and a seat and then the rest, as they say, is history. But don't tell anyone..!

Before Casino was officially announced they left construction props outside as a hint since it was a significant change to the map.

If they srsly adding a new island (or LC, NY or whatever you think it will be) I wonder, would they hint at it in a similar way? And if so, how would they do it? If we assume we getting another filler dlc before the big one it could be anything (like ferry/airline commercial on the radio or a new billboard).

But if we won't get anything before "the big one" they would have to use the assets that are already in the game soo... how would they do it? npcs with luggage waiting on a pier or something?

Hopefully its not " the biggest heist yet!" as in
- 40 optional prep missions
- 10 setups to waste your time (delivering gear to the island using tugboats)
- a single heist that you can do in 3 different ways
- and npcs that can tank 20 headshots (that was the worst part of DDH)

Why would u assume that was a recent decision? They probably been working on it for months if even longer. I'm sure they work on multiple projects at the same time if needed.

Most amount of content: either the Heists Update or Doomsday Heist

Most amount of vehicles: Arena War.

I still find it bizarre that people actually buy Shark Cards. I'm not even speaking from the "glitch yourself millions bro" aspect. 

 

Like, the idea of spending real money for fake money has always blown my mind. Like, WHY would you do that? Its sad.

Especially when there are literally guides out there on how to make in-game money!

I/E being a cheap method that quickly gets the money back(Especially if you do VIP work during cooldowns). And if you wanna be a lazy bitch, you can buy a Bunker and just afk 24/7!

I imagine they would change some billboards and posters around the airport advertising tickets to a new get away...that's what I would do

They can’t do it in a background update like what they did for the casino?

changing posters and billboards would require a update bc they can´t edit textures or models with background scripts.

they can place simple props like they did back then for the casino, but not add/edit textures or models.

that would require a new update.

There's no way a update of such scale was just planned recently, I'm sure they host a session or a meeting at the start of every year to brainstorm ideas for the updates, especially what should be the big one for the December update. I do assume, however, that it only goes over the basics and doesn't delves further into the specifics.

r* actually planned to replace a few billboards with an ad for the casino when it released, but never enabled them for some reason
