Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk XI

[Yoona]

First ever GTA Online DLC - Beach Bum Update came out 8 years ago today.

[MGgames100]

So since we don't have any teasers from R*, yet imma do a lil speculation on the next update. Officially we know only that it will have a "legal business" and "familiar faces" attached to it. Unofficially we know that we might get Dr. Dre appearance (and new music), reggaeton station and possibly something tied to nightclubs and/or Tony Prince. In my personal opinion, there is one (irl mind you) thing that does tie everything together. And you won't believe it, but it's... SuperBowl!

 

 

I don't think it's a coincidence that Dre will perform (with other artists) at the Half Time Show merely a month and a half from the DLC's release. I don't think it's a coincidence that all of those artists that are going to appear on the Half Time Show have albums coming sooner or later in 2022... I really didn't think that the whole "Dre got his phone stolen" from Cayo and then we later got a mechanic that revolves around tracking down the music in the next DLC is a coincidence neither. In my personal view the next DLC will be about creating our own music label. All of the real life cameos (not counting all the DJs) in Cayo Perico are high rank PRODUCERS. I'm going to even further and I think that we will have an "evil and corrupt" rival label. Look at these, they are all from DE:

 

Spoiler

 

Noticed something that repeats on all of these? The weird atom logo. I think that this will be our main label rival. (It might be the case that it's our artists too, but all of these seem to mock the artists with their name and presentation, but it's R* we're talking about so who knows). I think it's going to work similarly to the Nightclub where we have (to buy probably) 4 producers with some stats (i.e. Dre will be amazing at HipHop, but probably wouldn't create a great country album) and we're going to get big stacks, like all sleazy music labels, with probably an underworld business attached to it with drugs/guns/extortion/cars/heists/etc (cross out the one you want).

 

I think we might get a music festival as well. As I said, Dre will be hosting the Half Time Show and it would be surprised if we would get similar performance from aforementioned artists (really hope for Kendrick with new stuff here ngl). I also think we are going to get about equal amount of music that we got with Cayo, maybe slightly more, since it could be a Music DLC. We know that we're probably going to get reggaeton station, I don't care about it, especially if it won't have anything from Don Omar (I've became a big fan of his recently, help). I don't think Dre will get a new station, but I do feel like we might get a new mixes for our Media Players, unreleased, as of yet, material from Dre or any of the artists that he will perform on the SuperBowl. Imagine if Detox material dropped in GTA first...

 

I also think they're going to update the older stations, just like they did with FlyLo and Worldwide. Strong candidate and most obvious one is WCC, DJ Pooh obviously made a cameo, they have producers that worked with biggest hip-hop and rap stars, o. top of it, one of those producers is Dr. F*ckin Dre. I don't think they're going to miss that one out. Another one that comes to my mind is Non-Stop Pop.

 

I don't think Rockstar mentioned it during the GTAF interview for no reason. Iovine (one of the producers that made a cameo in CP) worked with big pop stars like Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani or rock stars like Stevie Nicks, Dire Straits or U2 (which might point at LSRR update, but I'm personally leaning towards the NSP update personally). I also think that Blue Ark might get an update, mainly to commemorate Lee Scratch Perry. Blue Ark had a big chunk of songs scrapped in the beta, I've heard they have a lot of material of him on the cutting room floor, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it. As always I have my hopes and dreams for a heavy metal station or a synthwave one hosted by Kavinsky (#BringBackNightrideFM), but we probably won't see that at all, ever.

 

Where Tony comes into the play here? Maybe he will be the one that ties everything together, our main contact basically. Maybe all of the producers will come to our nightclub for the first cutscene, who freakin' knows, at this point in time.

Was it discovered last dlc or last year that Rockstars YouTube had one more video than what was actually public?  Is that true now?  If they do/don’t that would be a clue if we get a teaser or trailer soon.

[MGgames100]

 

I guess another day then...

Rarely anybody cares anymore about that failure,they should've  just gave some info about december GTAO update. 

[Talisman_83]

"Classic PC versions" - ok, but what about PS and Xbox? Will we get the original versions back too?

[concolt]

Radio silence on the December dlc has me worried that it will be lackluster and small scale.

[Crateman]

They should give the Game for free for those who pre-order and had to refund because we Got the Game whiped out from the rgl for several days.

But that Will never happen

It's a statement. R* do not make statements unless something has gone truly wrong for them.

 

It's not like this was a timeslot they just decided to fill with this Newswire post addressing the condition DE launched in, that they could have instead used to market the December Update. No, this is something that multiple top dogs would have spent all week sending drafts to Take-Two and deciding what action they could take (that being return the original games to PC, but only to the RSGL) to win back favour.

I would imagine they have their hands full right now with the all the Definitive Edition issues going on right now.

 

Maybe next week once things have calmed down a little...

For real though... I had to cancel my preorder for the ps4 physical copy because I had no clue what they were going to ship me in December. And didn't want to receive garbage in the mail.

You are so f*cking negative. xD Relax fellas...it's the december dlc...R* don't screw it's gold mine (GTA Online) that bad. Sure a meme vehicle here and there but, there was always something good in each dlc, or the theme or the vehicles. I don't remember a dlc that sucked both in terms of theme and vehicles.

In the meantime, it pains us to mention that we are hearing reports of members of the development teams being harassed on social media. We would kindly ask our community to please maintain a respectful and civil discourse around this release as we work through these issues.

 

While this admittedly isnt nice for the devs, I cant really take something like this serious when coming from R*.

Not after they have been harassing the Modding Community for months.

Better to be pessimistic with low, very low expectations and right than optimistic with high expectations and routinely disappointed. 

 

Rumors of another After Hours are really quite bleh and unless there's more club theme options like a "Tequila-la" style club or rockabilly bar or even a lounge with a rotating selection of crooners or comedians, this update will surely be another dud saved maybe only by more garage space.

We still got a few weeks until it comes out.

 

They're not going to reveal news while the controversy is still going on

Ok, let's see...liking it or not, R* have the right to make modders stop modding their games. If their motives are obscure, sure...still, they can. If aren't nice that developers being harrased it's not, but what kind of harrassment? Can they be ore specific? It's comments like "i f*cked your mom" or "you job in the DE suck"? Bcz if the latter, although unpleasent to hear, they are a good measure indicator of how bad the DE turned out to be. And they can't feel offended if people are pointing for how bad the work was done and even worse, with all that in the table, they are asking for 60 bucks for that, taking away the original games, making exclusive content towards GTA Online only if you buy the damn DE (this sh*t most be like extortion), etc. People even if they are casual players they need to have minimum standards for quality and thus that's why i wouldn't pay freaking 60 bucks or even buy another game just to unlock a prison outfit in GTA Online...that's scammy.

Sure, your point is valid, but to complement my answer, just look what i told crateman here below. But the fact is and tbh, R* sometimes make not so good gta online dlc's but can always save themselves bcz the vehicle selection bcz ppl are appeased by it, but tbh, the quality of the vehicles list shouldn't be the redeeming quality of one dlc by the point of view from the players...bcz then R* know they can go lazy with the rest of the dlc and GTA is neither (or shouldn't be) just a COD game when you see the free mode lobbies turning into a warzone but neither just a racing game...bcz it isn't and we aren't in Forza and such.

Lmao...sure, but i was specifically talking about GTA Online xmas dlc. They, usually and at least, know where they can't f*cked up and it's in their gold mine: GTA Online.

"Have the right" aka. the same laws these companies lobbied (bribed) the government to implement.

 

I don't think there's anything wrong about modifying software for non-commercial use.

Except they dont.

What you do with the stuff you purchased and downloaded onto your PC is your bussiness. And only your bussiness.

As long as they (the modders) dont rerelease the game in any shape or form or affect other players in an online environment the whole thing is pretty much covered by fair use.

Some Companies want to make you think they can by threatening youu with legal action but in reality they cant and they know it. The only reason it works is because most people dont have the cash to fight them in a legal battle.

Ok, you guys are right...i think it was a sneaky approach from R*...let's detonate this modders so ppl play our sh*tty modded version "remastered" or none at all.

Sure, legally those modders dont have the meaning to fight in court, that's why a lot of the justice is unfair, bcz money talks...that's probably why usually a chicken thief goes with the ass to prison and a rich person after stealing millions and make a new global economic crisis rarely will face jail time.

Wildbrick was digging up some old files. I did the same and came across these old findings. Kinda crazy reading them up showing the potential of Cops n Crooks. Although, from these texts alone, the missions sounds as basic as the contact missions we had at launch.

 

Quote

CnC - Money at Territories
Money is left at territories and players can go pick it up.
24 hours after a territory has been taken over (and every 24 hours after that if it remains uncontested) a money pickup will appear there. The team who owns the territory will be informed of this. The snitch could also tell the other teams if they have a high enough stat. The player who gets there first gets the money.

 

CnC - Mechanic
Options from talking to mechanic:
Buy car (5 days)
Options from taking car in:
Repair car (2 days)
Spray (1 day)
New plates - immediate
Mod garage (immediate)

 

CnC - Mayhem
Players have to go to a town in the countryside and cause damage to property and vehicles. Damage Bar fills for gang. Time bar drops. Players have to fill the damage bar before time runs out.

 

CnC - Import/Export
Get cars from a list in garage and take them to the mechanic, will use UV light to show car list on the wall of the garage.

 

CnC - Get/Deliver Vehicle
Generic Get Car/Vehicle for any character.
Criminals are told to pickup and deliver a truck. Once crims have picked up vehicle cops are invited to join mission. They are told to get vehicle back to their own dropoff.
16 cops and 16 criminals can join the mission
Opens at respect 7
Shoot to kill mission

 

CnC - Gang Love/Hate
Storing how much 1 gang hates another. Each player will have stat between 1 and 100.

 

CnC - Drug Dealing
Crim Ambient: Player can approach dealers to deal in drugs. Also activates the tables in each safehouse so the players can cut their stash.
Warps in criminal ambient. 8 warps for the dealers and table locations.

 

CnC - Cop Bad Stat
Bad Cop Stat - if cop is bad enough get lowly jobs to do unti their bad cop stat is reduced. Stat is effected by killing civillians, crooks under wanted level 4, smashing up their cop car etc.

 

CnC Territory Takeover

Territory Takeover (18 Airstrip),  Players can fight to take over territory in the game, this will produce a revenue stream for them

 

Also, it sounds like the game was originally planned to have 32 players at launch. Splitting 16 players into the Cops side and the rest into Crooks.

Well...here we have...for those that still claim that "hum....a CnC bcz some files tell something about noose outfits, nah...it's nothing important". Now the question is: will CnC be a thing one day?
