Remember the Casino Heist teaser?

 

 

That was gooooood.

They posted the teaser December 4th and one day later they announced the new dlc....

 

I think it's gonna get an early dec release date and an announcement as soon as tomorrow. They don't want go go toe to toe with cyberpunk. Getting a headstart is probably a good idea.

ICYMI, any mapping contributions can go in the official mapping topic:

 

The new subforum is also open for everyone to post topics and posts so don't be shy now!

Wow that's so cool! Thank you so much!

Also, I'd like to go back to my post from last thread.

Quote

A lot people focus on where, instead of focusing on how. That's something I don't see a lot of discussion about. Rockstar said multiple times that this will be new take on the Heists and it got me thinking, how is it going to work. Unless Rockstar ain't pulling our leg, it will be something we haven't experienced yet.
 It cannot be the OG Heists formula, DH formula nor Casino Heists formula. What is it then? Well here are few of my guesses:

1. It could be all formulas combined. This one could be an interesting option, but I have hard time imaging how such system would work. Would you set your crew (like on the CH) before the set-ups that would be more akin to the OG Heist's set-ups? Would you choose them after the set-ups, just before the finale? Have the words "set-ups", "heists" lost their meanings already or can I still repeat them few times?

I feel like choosing the crew beforehand could for example result in the groundwork failing and thus heist itself would become harder. Maybe you'd have to create solutions to the problems on the go rather than getting them on silver plate. You'd have to actually judge yours crew skills which I'd say could lead to an interesting mechanics.
2. SP Heist formula. SP Heists had minimal preparation, one or two missions in advance and you're going straight to the action. That's why imo they all are kinda boring duds, just missions you have to go through, 1st time experiencing one approach will be pretty much the same as 100th time with different crew. But I know that the SP heists have a lot of fans, so I'd say this could be a valid idea for DLC. The Fleeca Job is one of most replayed heists even to this day, thanks to its simplicity and shortness (and the fact it was only 2 player heist for a very long time :D). A shorter, more to the point heists with smaller cuts might work really well, who knows.

3. This one I've actually been thinking the most. With every heists there was always a mastermind above us. Whether it was Lester, Agent 14 or even Avon, we always were the puppets in the master plan of our puppet masters. What if you, the leader, would decide which place, what to rob, how to approach it, find the buyers, etc? I'd say this feels like that evolution that Rockstar teased us with, that next step. It would fall in nicely with the evolution of our characters as well, where we went from cheap guns for hire to multi-million kingpin smuggling drugs, cars and other things.
4. This one takes that last point to another level. What if you and your crew doesn't actually partake in the finale itself, instead it is executed by the crew you hire, aka being useful for once instead of giving you the same set of cars or weapons for YOU to source (lazy f*cks). It might work like a RTS of some sorts. Kinda wild idea but at the same time you never know, Rockstar likes to innovate a lil from time to time.

 

Well outside of these things I also have few other things on my mind related to the next DLC. They are kinda unrelated to all I've just said, but of you're interested, have a read

  Hide contents

 

First of all I strongly believe that we will be robbing the mansions this time. Again, I feel like the 3rd option I've proposed is most likely and mansions would fit right in there. Steal any valuables from it undetected or just go guns blazing. Even if we will stay at LS, mansions are not explored AT ALL, so there is potential for freshness here, and if we go to certain Island to experience them, that's even better imo .

Another cool idea and something we haven't had heists revolve around are the cars. Stealing a whole collection from some collector might be an interesting idea, but I feel like this approach might get boring quickly for a lot of people. Plus comparison to Import/Export would be inescapable. 

I also feel like North Yankton might see use with these Heists. Rockstar loves to reuse assets and North Yankton is big ass asset that underused. Small changes to the map, you could probably reuse the Prologue's Bobcat Security storage, from where we'd steal some MacGuffin and you have perfect place for a nice and unique set-up mission. This is where the new type of vehicle could be introduced as well - snow mobile. I'd say it would be perfect addition to GTA, especially for the December's snow. Maybe that's the mysterious reward Rockstar been talking about

 

The radios are also a thing that is on my mind lately. We know that some updates to the soundtrack are coming, but IF it is truly a new place I actually feel like they will add more than single radio station. Each area in-game has it's own talk station, and I assume that the talk stations are much cheaper and it's easier to compress them than the songs.

Also as much as people want single heists to be a thing I actually would like to see an option for up to 8 people to play the heists. Obviously this would be just an option, not necessity. Would be just cool to see that.

As for the vehicles, I strongly believe that Cybertruck will be added some way or another. It became way to big of a meme for Rockstar to just avoid it. Outside of that, probably another open wheeler or two, if I had to choose it would be Formula E and 50s Cigar, just because. Obviously super cars, sports cars and all that jazz, but I do hope for more of the "cultural" cars (aka that represent so car culture that's not present in US), like Asbo, Dynasty or Cheburek. I love all of them and I'd love to see more. The new update to the planes/jets, helicopters and boats would be sweet. Those three were untouched for some time now. It would be perfect occasion to add few of them. I especially hope that for new motorcycle that's not a f*ckin' three-wheeler. It's been waaaaaaaaaaay too long since we got proper one, longer than the aircrafts. One last thing is dumb idea I had in the back of my head - self-driving cars (i.e. Google's Waymo). Something similar to the Taxi, but basically on the go. I don't know how much use such thing would have, but it would be interesting to see something like this. Ofc as always I plead for more GTA IV cars.

As for the weapons Mk2 are required at this point, AP Pistol and Assault Shotgun are probably the most likely candidates. I'd say Micro SMG, Combat Pistol, Advanced Rifle and Grande Launcher are good guesses too. If we are talking about the new weapons: ADD. THE. BETA. WEAPONS. YOU'VE. CUT. FFS. I'VE. WAITED. 7. YEARS.

I do feel like we might see more than one target this time around, aka the mansion. Since everyone's eyes are in this thread I'd love to see more discussion about this subject ngl.

I hear a radar sound during the island showcase part of the teaser. It kind of sounds like a submarine radar? Narco subs???

I am expecting some type of navel seacraft or subs to come after hearing that sound hopefully.

Its either completely fictional or a combination of couple places. Too me it looks like a mix between Santa Catalina and Santa Cruz

  

The map looks either extremely small with one mansion, or extremely big with a highway system to the airport. I wonder if the grid squares can align with the los santo map to confirm size...

With the sizing of the island based off the mapping thread and the plantation/fields populating the land densely, I’m convinced this is a compound. Not a series of villas/mansions. One unit with multiple buildings/quarters all in solitary.

Oooooh, I hope for that too! Maybe up to a 6-player heist, we split into two teams and take multiple targets (gold, cash, definitely drugs, maybe diamonds or other such valuables?) Or maybe like a Mansion Team and the ??? Field Team. 

[lowriderlife63]

Narcos DLC confirmed, so hyped we are finally getting a map expansion.

I just hope we can do the setups solo and heist with as little as two players.

Maybe that's what the casino construction is for, to use as a new heist room (as it'll get new players needing to buy the penthouse) and we have to do a fly-by to scope out a property that gives of heat or something as to which property is full of loot. Be it gold, drugs, art, or even documents like a report on Lester's and our characters past crimes maybe. Could be fun to have diversity in the target property with each having different interiors and NPC placements.

This Dlc looks more like a story campaign than a heist.

Map seems small, but then I guess I shouldn't expect anything else from a "free" DLC.

Well we've been having rumors about an engine update in the re-re-release, and that sure doesn't look like the lighting or foliage we have in GTA5, but it does remind of RDR2.

So maybe that's actually happening and R* is being cheeky by putting in screens of the next gen version?

Yeah I speculated before that they could reuse assets from guarma (theres a lot of stuff they cut from the game)

R* been reusing assets between titles for a long time, its nothing new. They had the same tree in 3 different games

Is there a higher part on the Island, to have a cave with Airwolf in it...?

Asking the real questions I see

Looks like an amazing complex location, I expect great deathmatched to be made here, or real Hitman style stealth missions in that mansion.
I hope it will be available in freeroam, even if its going to be rarely visited.
Lets be honest, does anyone visits Paleto Bay or Sandy Shores who doesn't own business or Bunker there?
Unless we will get properties on this new island I hardly see it as a very busy location. Might be a good getaway from the griefers of the big city tough

This would be realllllly cool

[MrPhillips]

The reason why the map expansion is teased way before expected (seeing when the Casino Heist is teased) might be because it's way bigger update.

[TCMike]

It would be cool if there were a few buyable homes on the airstrip with their own attached hangars.

 

[secrecy274]

Not to piss on everyones parade, but nothing says it'll be free-roamable.

 

Yes, amazing and all that, but too much hype is dangerious, not to mention the inevitable new "Oppressor MKII/Deluxo" or whatever that'll be added as well.

or will the update come out earlier? December 3 is possible before the cyberpunk

[bubbers]

My guess is the Casino add on will be a prep room and you are heisting with Duggan against a rival.

If you look at the right side of the video it does show a mountain for the shots of 'new land'

Should be free roam hopefully, why go through all the effort and make a fully detailed island only for a heist?

If we pretend the airport is 1KM long, it comes out to this, though I imagine the map is not 3.5 KM, more like 2.

I wonder will we be able to go there with opressor mk2 or maybe the Air defense system will take down every unauthorized vehicle.

[Deztructoid]

One thing I'm hoping for is that we use some sort of stealth jet to scope out the island at least..
I'd even be happy with a tomcat since it fits the era too!
