Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk XI

[—TheSquid—]

After trying to find an easy way to join car meets, I only just realized how much I have riding on the idea that we can form our own car clubs. For some reason I cannot explain, Sony are determined to sniff out everything they do correctly so they can ruin and destroy it. The communities feature on PS4 was a straightforward and easy way to find racing and car meet communities, but now that's gone. Best substitute I can find is some rinky-dink little Discord servers that host once in a blue moon. I desperately hope R* allow us to make our own car communities which are more easy to interact with than crews.

 

For some reason, the FrEe MaRkEt hasn't magically solved the next-gen console shortage even though we all agreed to sacrifice our grandparents, so whatever features are on PS5 have absolutely no relevance to the solution I'm looking for. I really hope E&E doesn't come out until at least mid-2022, because they're better off polishing it than releasing it for the three people who currently own a PS5.

Pretty sure car clubs have been confirmed already by some files or something, not 100% sure, somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I remember hearing something ab it ...

 

P.S I can tell you watch Putther, love that.

If there's something that needs to come in E&E, it has to be shoulder swapping. Close quarters gunfights in GTA are already a drag, but this small mechanic can make it better. 

Well, the basic premise of CQ combat in GTA is more a matter of fact who rolls last during a gunfight. Ofcourse there are more things to it but that's pretty much how most fights will be decided if only rifles are at play. If we could swap from shoulder it would bring a new PvP style to the mix in terms of those 50/50 kill/death moments especially behind some cover.

Ok so textures and such... got it. Yea it will look better if that's the case, but at least for me that's not much if there are not other improvements like those i mentioned. They could try to improve combat to be close to Max Payne 3 for example or RDR2, having those RDR2 executions or at least those that are cut from GTA5 beta would be a huge game changer.  They got human shield mechanic in one of the missions from GTA5 story when Michael climbs IAA building, how hard would it be to implement that or dual wield. Or how Max Payne fires from the hip position when sprinting. At least for me those kind of improvements would be a lot better than eye candy. It remains to be seen how significant those changes and new features are and how much they  gonna charge for that, because having almost the same game shouldn't warrant full price of a new title.

You are describing a new game, what's coming is a newer version of a 2013 game, it won't be as different as you are describing I don't think.

This shortage thing is really annoying, this game's new version and Horizon were the only reason I was thinking of getting a PS5, now Battlefield 2042 is added to that and it's a big struggle to find those stupid things without having to sell a kidney to afford the scalpers prices.

It's not looking like the shortage will be solved any time soon either, what a mess.

I'm getting the impression that people think GTA E&E will be a completely new game experience. It will probably have sharper textures, a solid FPS (30 or 60 ) a beter DOF, anti aliasing or even Raytracing at best. I dont expect really deep core mechanics to change such as car handling, car damage, ragdoll psysics etc. If any, those new additions to the game can be present on the stand alone version later down the road. Ofcourse E&E can bring new gameplay mechanics like they did with the PS3 to the PS4 version. First person for instance.

1) PC players are the minority, and i said this in the way that, sure, i think most middle class people or at least the average person of a 1st world country will have a pc at home, but a pc gaming, not so much. So, a console it's still more affordable for a lot of people, which means that a lot more people have consoles.

 

You sound completely stupid. First of all I’m pretty sure pc has more copies sold than Xbox one so saying in the minority is a stupid statement second of all, minus gta did you just say pc is in the minority. Minority of what? Steam has more monthly users than ps4 and xbox1. Second of all you need an eye opener console aren’t cheap everywhere has you seen console prices in Brazil or Argentina, it’s practically cheaper to get a pc. You should learn economics and common sense

I don’t think they’ll do ray tracing for gta v e&e that requires redoing a lot of work maybe gta 6

Hitting the nail on the head. People who play dirty often resort to their RPG spam or grenade launchers. When i meet such a sweaty PvP'er i just leave in my Nightshark. I salute people who do clean PvP with their carbines only.

I hope that today we have news and some screenshots about the DLC

Watchdogs Legion: brand new game/assets with raytracing, announced June 2019, released November 2020.
I don't think it's too much work to add raytracing to your already existing game and when you have 1.5 years of development like E&E. If there is, it will be on facades, puddles, windows, cars and mirrors (finally!). Lights in general will also be improved. This is really the minimum required and I doubt it will take much time.

 

PS : a quick search on internet and youtube and you can see GTA 5 with mods imitating/simulating raytracing and it is very convincing.

Here's hoping we get a trailer for expanded and enhanced today. It's about time.

[Lauti]

For E&E I am hoping that it will have new sounds in the whole game, environment, cars etc. I also hope that the animals are in online, I don't know why they never added them, only with peyotes and temporarily but it's weird, the map has to be more alive. And what I want the most is for them to add Liberty City with a DLC one day.

[Shiloh Comes]

Just as a side note related to a comment someone made the other day about realism etc in games and how that might look in future updates.

 

For many years old farts like me have watched things progress from CalecoVision, through Atari, Nintendo, a spell on PC, then PS, XBone and so on to where we are now.

 

The endgame has always been the belief that there would come a day where people would no longer be able to tell the difference between machine code and reality.

 

Trust me, no matter what anyone thinks, you do not want to live in that world. As around 5 seconds of considered thought on the matter will reveal.

 

Terrifying, and far from matching reality, code can then replace reality and no one will ever be able to tell.

 

I think when we get there, gaming will be the least of our worries. Now make sure you earn your social credits or we'll make a movie of you committing a crime and send you away.

Same here! I hope cars get a big overhaul in E&E - new interior models, different engine sounds and more customisation so the older cars are a bit more unique.

I think it would be interesting to see an update for Online where they don't add any new cars, but update a selection of 2013 cars to bring them up to the same standard as the newer vehicles being released right now (liveries, custom bumpers, skirts, spoilers, exhausts, etc.), like what they did in After Hours but on a much bigger scale.

Wholesome, you should probably tone down this wholesomeness if you want people to read the rest of the crap in your comment.

 

 

 

On a different note:

Y'all remember when they put a picture of an actual trailer with a GTAV logo on it in the files of the Social Club launcher back in 2015 when people were waiting for the PC trailer lol? 

they should do that.

Not sure that would work. It's always nice to see some love given to the oldies, but if R* make an update comprising entirely of these updated cars, they run the risk of that update appearing somewhat stale to the masses.

 

We only see updates twice a year nowadays, and with the expectations people have of them in the current GTA VI-less climate, to have one of these two yearly updates only be dedicated to pretty much the same stuff we've been driving for years but with extra bells and whistles...

 

Wouldn't be received nearly as well as mixing entirely new and updated content together, like before.

What the hell are you on about? Do you know how much an rx 6700 is costing here in brazil, just for comparison? 7 f*cking thousand reais, and thats just the graphics card. A  whole Xbox Series X costs that price and has an gpu equivalent to that. And thats not even touching the whole other amount of stupidity that is you comment. Maybe you should learn some common sense before spewing garbage on internet forums

Yes. Most cars in GTA have the same generic sound. Most of them have a higher or a lower pitch. We need more unique engine sounds like the XA21. 

[XingaBoy]

you know what would be pretty good for E&E? Wider FOV, or at least a FOV slider.

Oh yes please. I used to play Oblivion on the furthest view distance because you could barely go 10 seconds without something trying to come up behind you and kill you. The view distance was insane, it was perfect. Playing the game was like watching a movie. You felt like the character was actually IN the landscape, rather than just plonked on it. It drives me nuts that it's not like that on GTA. I race on the furthest view because obviously it's a bit harder and more fun, so I wouldn't like it much further for that, but for everything else - yes with bells on..

I don't know how that would really work with 3rd person but I'll take it for first person view.

Personally I can't stand the XA-21 sound. Nice going through the gears but after more than about 10 seconds going Harry Flatters and it sounds like a hammer drill and gets too monotonous, but I suppose that's down to my neuro-not-quite-normal issues. It is lovely, it just gets too much. But I agree wholeheartedly with the sounds point overall. There are some glorious sounding cars already but in the muscle class especially if you close your eyes you could be driving one of about 10 cars.

the Stirling GT and Mamba have an awesome sound too !

That's why I always thought they didn't do it, because of what you said about 3rd person. Doing it to a grand scale in an open world is one thing but with GTA's many tight spots and interiors, they already have to clip it back to the middle view as the max, such as the casino.

Are you talking about GTA5 / Online players, or just games in general?

 

If you're talking about GTA5 / Online, whether you like it or not it just a fact that PC players are the minority compared to console players. Sure, a relatively small percentage of a huge number can still be a very big number though.
