Standalone GTA Online Launching on PS5 in 2021

[ROCKSTAR MANIC]

I was thinking the other day, you probably thought about this too. Sony did say that there would be 100 BC titles day one on the PS5. Now thinking about this, SO with V annoucment on the PS5. Was V not part of those day one 100 BC titles? So they decided to partner up with Sony to overhaul expand and improve V or in this case Online as whole too have a relaunch on next gen? I mean think about it, what was so hard about just porting or in this case having the emulation in BC just to have the PS4 title be played on PS5.

Because most developers finish games in less than 10 years.

So VI would have been under development before the release of V ? From the few I've read recently, development of VI would only be at its early stage. Not that I believe it or not, it's just that we don't know sh*t.

People voting for an expected Map expansion are very very optmistic. If they have planned Something like this, they Had clearly mentioned IT.

Folk keep saying this online is pushing GTA VI's creation back more and more, and though I do partly agree with the sentiment, I'm not fully convinced by it. My main reasons being...

 

With regards to GTA:O's updates, just look at those compared to a story mode by R*. It genuinely feels rushed, always has broken elements too, and just feels like a testing ground all too often as well. It feels very much like a seperate small team are doing the online additions. And I feel the same about RDRO's updates too.

 

Speaking of RDR. We know that all departments were pulled in to complete that game, so it does stand to reason to say RDR2 has equally if not more so contributed to GTA VI's production being pushed back, and RDR2 was delayed a couple of times which must have further impacted a potential newer GTA. If the powers that be pulled people off GTA to create RDR, it's gonna have a knock on effect, surely.

 

Also, R* and T2 must have plans to rinse VI's online like they have here for card sales, and though this game does earn well for them, the earning power of a newer, bigger map like what VI could bring is surely something R*/T2 will want out to replace this asap. Either way, they'll clean up. Maybe more so with VI's online as we all get put back to start with nothing and they potentially put up more virtual roadblocks to reduce glitching or solo public etc.

 

Just a couple of thoughts, lol.

 

I'm with folk in wanting a new story of course, but I enjoy this online too and a part of me does dread what the next online will be because, as shown by RDRO, it could easily be a similar broken farce is all.

This "expanded and enhanced" version comes out in the 2nd half of 2021 on PS5, XSX and probably PC, so at least in 1 year time. What even made you go "hmmm, are these props part of improvements coming in 12+ months time"? Surely, since you're PC player, answer should have been "I haven't seen these before, someone is modding again"?

 

So no, props you are seeing are there in SP since day 1 in 2013, but are disabled in Online. You played in a session with modder, as simple as that.

Standalone GTA Online will be biggest contributor to Take-Two's revenue going forward (even with the 93 games yet to release). And it is #1 MMO-Openworld game of the past decade and incoming generation of consoles and Top 10 on steamcharts.

If the standalone thing means a GTAO experience played in both V&VI maps, I'm all in. 

 

It's not even a map expansion, so that kind of extra work revamping the current map wouldn't be necessary. 

[Sentinel Driver]

I'd want some major overhaul to the game mechanics to truly be too excited about this. Like a better stealth system, a better melee system and a gore/injury modeling system like in RDR 2

I doubt these changes will be made so... what are we supposed to be excited about in this 2013 game being released for the third time now in 2021?

merging actual gtao with future gtao would be something amazing

All-right then, could've just given me this answer the first time, thanks for clearing up my confusion tho
And what was making me go 'hmm these props might be part of the improvements coming in 12+ months' because it wouldn't be the first time that R* accidentally adds something that was meant for a later update 😛

Why would they suddenly make GTA Online a paid standalone version (its been free for 8 years) and make us wait until the second half of 2021 for it to release. There is more to it. I believe they have ported GTA V to the current RAGE used for RDR2. sort of like the trend of remakes going on in the gaming industry right now.

However if 2021 does come and GTAs imporvments are barely noticeable.....I dont even want to think about it.

I think they have at least ported GTAO to RAGE. It's been always the assumption that GTAO would become its own thing after GTAV died off. I wonder if next gen GTAV and GTAO are two separate things and GTAV does not come with GTAO on the disk.

 

I hope they at least ported the GTAIV map to GTAO for launch.

I was replying directly to his post where he mentions the current version of RAGE. I thought in that context the fact I mean the current versions was obvious.

[Shane_Dbns]

Can we at least get clothing/hair physics if they insist on releasing this game on the third consecutive generation? Actually the whole character creation/customisation needs an overhaul

I don't think there's that much of a difference between gta5 and Rdr2 is there? Aside from the obvious new features like looting and character buffs, things like the physics and animations are pretty similar aren't they? 

 

I don't know I haven't really played rdr.

RDR 2 has gore and a much more realistic injury system. Nuff said.

Melee animations are much more better and allow for creative environmental finishers like

Holy sh*t, yeah there's a lot more triggers and animations. Do animations like that play out against other players in rdro? 

 

Either way, they'd have to comb out the map of GTA 5 and add things like that throughout the game. Might as well make another game at this point.

If you see something strange in public PC session, isn't it obvious what's going on? To come to conclusion that it's something from recently announced version, which isn't going to be released in the next 12 months (at least), on platforms that also aren't available, is kinda bizarre.

I don't think they play against other players though. Not the environmental type finishers at least but other finishers still do play out

If they don't return the water fountain to 4584 Procopio Drive, I'm not playing it.

[KarimNTerr]

On the bright side, this is good for GTAVI or whatever R* is doing next since that'll made them understand PS5 development better without risking with a bigger project
