Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk IX

[DeltaV20]

The shore side vale island looks more suitable, Rockstar needs to add this island. and it clearly makes sense because of airport.
(Francis international airport)

The true dodo,
Fun fact : Dodo means flightless bird (lol rockstar)

[Gridl0k]

Was such a bitch that some achievement in the next game was named after someone who flew it for multiple hours, iirc.

We have enough time. I would guess upcomming thursday/friday or next week.  Could be friday, because R* tend to use fridays now for some odd reason.

Yes but it's strange...

For the casino update they started teasing about 2 months before the release.

I thought that for the "biggest DLC of all time" they could have started a bit earlier

they are not going to split the player base by charging for a map expansion that only some people will buy, they make more than enough of microtransactions, I don't even think they are going to charge for the standalone GTaO.  the way it's worded I think the 3 months is PS exclusivity but it will continue to be free once it is available on all platforms

I think they would. It wont be a big deal if players are split between the island, some people spend crazy amounts on shark cards so why not buy the dlc? Im pretty sure enough people will buy the dlc that the lobby wont be empty

[Insoluble Fiber]

Aren't they gonna prioritize RDO for the time being?

Friday looking good  (13/20/27)

The Casino DLC was teased on the 4th of december in 2019 with the in-game text via the phone. The DLC itself released the 12th. We saw changes way earlier because of the props at the casino, but it wasn't officialy teased back then.

If your only experience is from the modding side of things, then you're not working on the same level, because you will always be at the mercy of the codebase of the game you're modding. Just because you can't fix things with the limited access that modding gives you, doesn't mean something can't be fixed. There's also no reason to believe that fixing the Titan bug would be much more complex that disabling the mission... but why bother fixing something that costs time and money, when you can just refund money that people have lost, which costs zero time and money? That's the Rockstar mentality and it's why the only thing their support are any good at, is pressing the Refund button. Bugs deter people from the doing the mission, less people doing the mission = less bug reports... problem solved. If you don't sell crates because of a bug, they don't care.

 

No, because despite how deep through the chain they affect things, if you fix them, then you fix what happens down the chain. No developer worth any salt writes code that relies on bugs being present to work. Making something work properly, isn't going to break anything... unless the person writing the code is a complete idiot. And even if that's the case, it isn't an excuse for not fixing it.

 

Bugs are nothing more than a set of unforeseen circumstances and/or actions that manipulate your code in unexpected ways. If you know how it's being manipulated, then you can cater for it, or protect your code against it. That's why QA exists, because they are disconnected from the creation side, so they have no knowledge of how things *should* function. They test without preconceptions and that's how you want QA to work. If you test your own code, you typically test with a bias towards doing things "the right way" and that stops you from finding any bugs other than those that are blatantly obvious..But again, why report a bug to a support team that can't think beyond "Do you need a refund?". I have tried it numerous times and you might as well be telling your pet cat about a bug.

 

Anyway, this isn't a tech-thread, so I am going to end my input here. If you want to continue to believe you are correct, then go ahead... but that won't alter the reality of how games (and bugs) work. And don'r presume that Rockstar;'s inaction over a bug is any indication of its complexity or far-reaching effects. They don't care, if it doesn't affect their profits... period. Their uncanny ability to patch money-making bugs within 24 hours proves that to be correct. Do you honestly believe they can do that and not fix a simple mission bug?

 

I maintain my stance, there is no bug that can't be fixed, especially if you know what causes the bug to occur.

 

If anything I have said offends anyone, then I apologise but sometimes the truth is bitter tasting to those who don't want to hear it. I'm not looking for an argument or a debate, but feel free to "let me have it" if you so desire.

 

Moderators: Sorry if my comments have derailed the thread, I deliberately try and avoid interaction with the people on here for this reason. Feel free to delete anything and everything I have posted if that maintains the status-quo better... no offence will be taken if that happens.

the literal existence of bugs that CAN'T be patched nullifies this entire diatribe.  again, I concede the particular glitch used as an example may not be the case, though you didn't actually fix the bug, you just disabled the mission.

Well, we got the Los Santos Summer Special during the pandemic, so i would guess they got all of that working from home stuff figured out by now. I have no idea when they started developing it though.

Summer Special was just a recovery update , The real update was suppose to be Cops n Crooks.

That's correct, but that doesn't reflect on the fact that they already work from home for a long period of time now.

Technically they teased it 4 months beforehand, they’re probably just waiting closer to the drop date to reveal more details about the dlc

[Deztructoid]

How much do you guys think we'll need if they do end up adding a fairly sized island?

[Retro_Causality]

Tomorrow would be a month before the winter dlc usually hits right?

[TheFireFlash]

I see many people think the new island is gonna be located south of Los Santos, but i think it will be close to Paleto Bay.
