I can add the vehicles (aka the thing im usually stoked about) myself, so that's really not a problem

Agreed! The vehicles are always my favorite part of any DLC.

 

This time around we get a submarine on top of the normal vehicles we are getting. I’m expecting upwards of 20 vehicles. Biggest update ever has me thinking we will be very happy with the vehicle selection.

I don't know anything but the newswire uses graphql/json. If your query with the id of the latest article you get this:

 

 "data": {
        "post": {
            "id": 61792,
            "title": "Slipstream Your Way to Triple Rewards in All Land Races",
            "subtitle": "Plus An Update On The Heist Challenge, Additional Bonuses and More",
  			/* extra sh*t */
        }
  }

If you increment the id with one, you get an error:

{
    "data": {
        "post": null,
        "related": {
            "results": [],
            "__typename": "Posts"
        }
    },
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "Record not found in table \"rockstargames_newswire.posts\"",
            "locations": [
                {
                    "line": 2,
                    "column": 3
                }
            ],
            "path": [
                "post"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

but if you query with 61795, You get an empty post, so that's possibly the scheduled post?

{
    "data": {
        "post": null,
	/* extra sh*t */
}

 

 

 

I noticed they make the id with increments of 3 per post id.

Example:

61789 - GTA Online Player Job Spotlight: Apocalypse (Xbox One) by VoltycQc - Rockstar Games

61792 - Slipstream Your Way to Triple Rewards in All Land Races - Rockstar Games

61795 - The Cayo Perico Heist: Coming December 15 to GTA Online - Rockstar Games

 

Since 61300 they use increments of 3 per post (Maybe even before 61300 as The Farthest I checked was 61300)

Proof:

Based on the average gestation period for a human infant, it's safe to assume you were conceived in mid February. 

 

What romantic holiday takes place mid February?

Ok so if they are treating this as every other heist interior (but this time its an exterior) and it only appears during a heist here's how I see it:

- Introduction cutscene somewhere on the old map
- They convince you they need your help (agent 14/lester/bogdan whatever)
- You have to buy a heist prep room inside your penthouse / submarine with a prep room inside / some new place like a boat house or something) 
- You use the submarine to launch preps setups and heists
- When you start the heist you get a cutscene of your submarine moving forward (similar to when you move the yacht) and you load to the mission

They will probably use the island for future races and adversary modes  (+ later they will probably add "contact missions" on the island that you launch from the sub/yacht)

But since its R*, they probably won't let use  it in creator mode...

edit:
The only good side? Well if we loading a tiny little island instead of the main map, Maybe the mansion has no loading screens at all when you go inside?

I have a theory. If the map is free roam and there's a mansion there that you can choose and buy (of course it will not be the biggest of them all, bcz that is from the cartel boss) then i can see they throwing at us a mansion to buy in order to make us not being suspicious as the new guy/girl that landed in the private island. Bcz, why would a peson able to buy a mansion and just wanting to "living la vida loca" in those island parties, would want/need to heist the mansion of one of the most dangerous cartel boss of the world? (Just like Bruce Wayne goes to parties and stuff to not look like a suspect of being batman, so this would work similar to that. So, in these terms i can see us turning in some kind of double agent for IAA, which looks like a DDH 2.0 to me, which seems to be cool. The reason? Idk...probably the cartel boss is messing with some character that we are affiliate with and then he/she/they call us in order to do what's need to be done. (At this point the online character most be most badass character of all entire gta franchise, due that seems like we can do anything ).

Possible, but I think there was a reason they showed a party on the beach. Might be part of a mission tho.

It'll be an entrance disguise, Big Con style. Sneak in as a party guest.

[KEK540]

Due to that shaded dancefloor,  I still think it'll be explorable outside the heist. I said this yesterday but I think it'll work like an interior: no weapons, melee attacks, no wanted levels, pegasus or personal vehicles. We teleport there from somewhere in Los Santos for a music festival and party in a safe combat free zone with social activities in certain designated areas.

Sure. Or prep/setup where you have to take pictures of the place so you pretend to be a guest

So, kinda like the mall concept people had in the past? The only problems I see with this:

- When we do heist it, its cartel owned island. So why would we keep going there for a party?
- If all you can do there is dance and drink, people would abandon it after two weeks. I mean at least with casino people visit it to spin the wheel and play games

I suspect Cayo Perico is based on Norman's Cay. It was an island used by the Medellín Cartel in the 80s to refuel planes smuggling coke into the US in the 1980s. At the time it was also known as a party haven for narcos. Later it was scouted by Billy McFarland to host Fyre Fest years ago.

 

I think that's what R* is going for with Cayo Perico because there seems to be an outdoor stage area for a concert. Seems like part of the island will be available but will essentially function like an interior: no guns or melee, and probably only access to shared vehicles on the island to get around like the bunker caddys. I see it going down like this:

 

We boot up GTA on December 15th to an ad for an EDM festival on the island hosted by Duggan hospitality and tourism. Then we load in and get a text from one of our contacts instructing us to meet him/her on the island and book through the new tourism office in the Diamond Casino. We're then introduced to the island in a tour from an enthusiastic but terrified guide. We'll see some of the water based activities we could get up to on the island outsid of the heist.

 

Once we meet our contact they'll explain that Duggan had to get into bed with the elusive El Rubio to keep the casino afloat. The contact will recruit us to bring down El Rubio but we'll need to find or ID him by gathering intel from his secure compound. To do this we'll need to buy a Submarine (maybe Bogdan will return) and complete prep jobs on the island and/or maybe even LS.

 

Upon completing the heist we'll be told that we need to gather more intel to keep the heists open ended like the casino heist where El Rubio's story will be concluded in a future update.

 

Well that's my theory anyway.

 

 

@Piro I figure it's an exclusive music festival thrown by Duggans for Diamond high rollers with El Rubio's blessing.

 

It's not as far fetched as some of the other wild things the GTAO narrative has thrown at us and gives an excuse to combine both past and more recent controversies of Norman's Cay in one fictional island.

[Retro_Causality]

to all residents of Cayo Perico

 

better get ready

 

because we coming.....for you!

My prediction: It won't be available in freemode but maybe next year on PC, PS5 and Series X cause of Game-engine Update

I’m sorry to tell you, but the poll has two questions, both of which are about the extent to which the island can be explored, and both had a majority of people answer with the assumption that it would work just like freeroam in Los Santos. What he’s saying is pretty clear. 
 

So either Yan and all of the mods and insiders are bullsh*tting everyone to make us all even more happy at release, or—the more likely option—they’re just bracing us so this doesn’t become a B&M thread. I think that’s the simpler, more likely explanation.

I don’t really see a problem. One way or another we are all gonna be on that island and in our submarines pretty soon. I think we’ll get there via the new travel agent opening in the casino

Opinions

[TCMike]

I really hate to admit it, but I'm becoming pessimistic about the new island.  lol

 

For some reason, when I first saw those buildings on the cliff edge, I thought it was a small neighborhood of nice villa/mission style homes.  But it's clear that those buildings are all part of just a single compound, belonging to one person.  That bums me out a lot, because I thought there might be a chance to have multiple properties on the island to maybe purchase, but that seems less and less likely to me now. 

 

It doesn't really look like there is any sort of town at all.  Just a compound, and a few structures for processing drugs, probably.  A couple tents at the cove, some docks, and an airstrip.  I don't know.  If that is really the full extent of the island, then I could more realistically see it being limited to just the heist missions.  I thought it would be more of a miniature island nation, but it really does look more and more like just a private island.

Boy you sure ain't lying...

 

So Regarding our contact during the Cayo Perico heist, what if the sole person was Ron? And if he wasn't the main contact could he be the lead up to or maybe the final contact? The thing though is a submarine seems far too complicated to operate...imagine him and trevor raging inside a submarine. I guess I would lean towards Bogdan here? Ripping off the biggest drug lord in..f*ckin..wherever. But now the story is just like WTF so who the hell knows!

[APB]

I predicted December 15th like a G, long time ago.

Now gib leaker status. 

 

 

Jokes aside, I'm really looking forward to it. Especially playing the whole damn thing solo and with some friends. Looking most forward to exploring the new island with new vehicles. 

 

I wonder how they will top this for the next, next one? GTA6 is the only way lol. 

Edited November 21, 2020 by APB

[OzakiLeona]

No freeroam ? I'm out. Call me when GTA6 releases.

[AgentSapphire]

I’m looking forward to the next week to see if any more teasers or trailers will be released. Hopefully they will answer questions regarding problems like free-mode exploring. R* may want to control its contribution to the hype so not sure if they will release new information next week. 
 

I think R* wants to intentionally conceal whether the island is explorable or not, thus we can’t be sure. Probably the way how the island is integrated into the game will be very innovative, but anyhow I’m curious. When the community of this game is so diverse, it’s easy for people to disagree or want different things.
