Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk XI

[IceDree]

Pre-orders are live on Xbox. $9:99 for GTA Online & $19:99 for the full fat GTA V.

[Gridl0k]

I bought the bundle and it's installing Online, so I guess Online is the full product and Story is a 10Mb text file saying yep unlocked?

 

BTW it's version 1.0.1.0

Yeah something like this. I mean, c´mon R* you called this version E&E. Show us E&E...

There's no E&E, where did you hear that?

Like RDO pretty much, yeah. Still curious what they're doing to that on Steam with separating RDO and RDR2 depots but that's not for this topic  

[Halal Cyborg]

I’ll wait until release before buying.

 

When i find out its the exact same game upscaled to 4K I’m done with GTA.

 

Enjoying Cyberpunk upscaled tbh

funniest part:

Pretty sure you're NOT meant to have a string there R*

it seems the site has parsed something incorrectly.

 

it actually is

		"DLC_WEAPON_ADDON_VINTAGE_PISTOL_AMMO": [
			{
				"value": 23
			}
		],

 

 

the hash for hermes is 0x00E83C17 (15219735) so idk what's going on there either, it's not a match with 23 so it can't be a collision

Cant we just copy the files on the drive to a PC and open that sh*t with OpenIV?

I dont know jack sh*t about consoles but isnt the XBOX running on an OS similar to a Windows OS?

it would need the encryption key from xbox' executable and openiv would have to support the formats as well, so even if we had the files we wouldn't be able to open anything other than text files.

 

on top of that the files themselves are encrypted by the platform, idk how it is on xbox, but on playstation it's encrypted with a key that only the devs and the consoles have access to. so while you can grab the files from the servers you wouldn't be able to access anything other than some package metadata. the only way to dump any files is with a jailbroken console and that in itself is not something you can do for new games on old (jalbroken) system versions. there isn't even a dump for ps4 cayo perico dlc yet, or at least not a public one. it would be huge news if e&e files got extracted before the 15th - not that ps5 files would be viewable either, same problem as xbox.

If it's 1.0.1.0 does it mean it has to download all previous online updates so the size will be a lot bigger than it is now, like additional 40-50 gb or all updates are included? 

[Gridl0k]

They've been "streamlining" DLC into the base game for years AFAIK so that's your lot. Might be a day one point release I guess.

[Spider-Vice]

Integrated day-one patch perhaps?

[ACR]

So chances for silent pc update on 15th are slim to none unless they mention something in some article or show it as available on pc in the end of a trailer if there is one at all. 

[Calakarad]

I wonder how many people are going to buy the wrong version going forward from today! It's not very clear on the xbox store if you are new.

[Crateman]

Will be ridiculous to left PC behind, but until a newswire we are still in limbo

I haven't seen the Career Builder discussed since R* provided more "information" last week, this part from the newswire is worth mentioning as a heads up for anyone interested in trying it:

 

Quote

We're introducing a new Career Builder feature designed expressly for new players – or anyone who wants to reset their character and get a fresh start – to get an introductory leg up in the criminal world of Southern San Andreas. With this system, you get a GTA$4,000,000 windfall to select essentials including Business Properties, Vehicles, and Weapons.

Leaving traces of the HSW DLC in the PC files would be the ultimate humiliation if it doesn't happen. I must admit that I am very tense.

Yup, this was mentioned the first time too in the Community Update article. The Career Builder is targetted at those who want to either reset their character or are new to the game and wish to start out with something, given the humongous amount of content added over time lmao. So you'll have a $4M budget to select what you want to be/which business you want to focus on and go from there.

 

I'm assuming it won't be used much by current players unless they really want to reset, or maybe in 2nd characters if that works there, but I kind of doubt it'll work on a 2nd character due to the shared money thing.

[junkymunky]

86gb for gta online only on ps5, just finished downloading.

This could be because The Contract was supposed to have released with the next-gen versions though, given it was delayed. We'll see...

 

*waits in PC gamer*

[Shadowfennekin]

$20? Sweet! Don't even have to think about that, I play more than enough just on Online to get my twenty bucks worth!

 

I'm glad it isn't $60 considering there doesn't appear to be much new content(Or at all for SP...)

also, wouldn't there be folders or something?

each platform has it's own file extension based on the platform codename

for example, texture dictionaries:

.wtd (32bit windows)

.ytd (64bit windows)

.xtd (xbox 360)

.ctd (ps3)

.dtd (xbox one)

.otd (ps4)

and most likely:

.std (or .atd or .ltd) (xbox series s/x)

.ptd (ps5)

 

on top of that being encrypted based on the platform key in the executable, which openiv would need support for to even open their .rpf files

 

there are folders, and the text file formats (.meta/.xml and .gxt2) don't have any differences between platforms but there's no way to access those without accessing the .rpf files to begin with.

this actually reminds me, r* leaked the career builder (specifically, the GTA$ windfall) on cayo perico release with the unused standalone gtao ui structs lol

struct CWindfallRecievedDecisionPage : CDecisionPageBase
{
};

guess noone picked up on it before

[Gridl0k]

IIRC there were originally 3 character slots, perhaps one for a LEO? I kinda hoped they'd give us a new one, I don't want to sacrifice either character but it would be fun starting from scratch.

 

Technically I could continue playing GTAO One version, post-transfer

I just did a fresh start in October. I have everything I want, skipped the businesses i didnt and i'm sitting on $60mil. Mostly from the contract update. It was a lot easier than I  thought it would be.

Well, we could count the rpf and see the size distribution...

And I was thinking folders outside of the rpfs.

 

like how on pc there's an update folder

maybe there could be something new there?

There has only ever been 2 unlocked character slots. There were originally other locked slots (3 I think) but they never got unlocked and were removed with XB1 and PS4 versions.

[joe1606]

Since Online goes standalone now it will be cool that the caracter wheel let us switch between 3 online caracters

why is it free on ps5 and not on xbox ? Rockstar prefer sony's console and what about pc ??

Sony made a deal with Rockstar and paid them to get it for free for three months its pretty simple.

If you like looking at error codes, sure... Almost everything else is still stored in rpf files.

I dunno dude. You've put a lot of time and effort into your collection, all those crew colors ...

Yep. I was cleaning earlier today and noticed my loose change pile got bigger. I counted it up and whatyda know, $20 worth of change.

 

Sneak peak of me paying R*:

 

 

(I rather wait & see how are they going to handle public/crew/invite sessions to be honest).

Yep, I thought the part of resetting characters was worth mentioning just in case people glossed over it and didn't pay attention. (I did a quick search before posting and no one appeared to have mentioned it since R* elaborated further this past Friday).

Yeah that's easy to miss given the hype of Cayo Perico at the time.
