I would prefer a second South American city tbh. A smaller one.

Like the early leaks claimed.

 

I agree but Tez probably was talking about how Rockstar could theoretically add current GTAO's map (and some of it's content) to next GTA's online mode, given that they actually wanted to make a completely separate GTAO that could potentially be expanded and updated for years. You know, kinda like how you're able to play entirety of Hitman 1 and 2's content in Hitman 3. 

[GRANDHEIST]

One reason for E&E delay could be that they are removing all Single Player content from the Online standalone release

 

that would be ton of work for such massive game with interconnected systems, but since the size is bloated already and if they have plans to add even more areas to it or incorporate it to VI, it might make sense for them do it

Would love to see that i do however fear that a plan like that would hold gta vi back.

I mean it's been almost 9 years at this point. If Online becomes a separate entity one would wonder how will they use the old dated physics.

 

Even if they upgrade them using V as a base restricts them big time.

 

Hitman was build with that idea in mind so it could pull it off.

Vi is a completely new beast.

[Americana]

GTAForums mod should make an interview on Fox News to show how oppressed we are by not getting any information from Rockstar.

 

Just remember to take a shower beforehand.

Oh yeah probably. Would GTA Online standalone be free or would you have to pay for it? Considering the map, it would make more sense to pay, considering that it'd be a huge loss of revenue to release a map as big as that for free.

[Rockstarter]

If you look at Red Dead Online, or just RDR2 in general for that matter,  they re-used the map from the first game and added a significant amount more, probably twice as much.

So my expectation is the next iteration of Online will do the same, a re-imagined Los Santos remains, Vice City is one part of the new bit, and possibly and hopefully Liberty City or equivalent as well.

 

I have a feeling that there will be a significant map expansion that comes with E&E, either at release or shortly after.

[Vice Cit]

I don't understand the desire for a "permanent" GTA online. GTAO was made standalone to bring in more money from people who wanted to play online without spending $60 for the full game. We probably won't see a multi-GTA online for a lot of reasons. It'd get stale, a lot of changes are made between each GTA, and it would make Take 2 less money. 

 

They would also have to keep every city on the same level of graphics which means upgrading every asset every time the RAGE engine gets upgraded.

Vi is a completely new beast.

If they ever considered that idea I'm sure they'd have to take VI as base simply because that's the game they'll focus and build on for next 5-10 years. Then it's just remaking the existing map and whatever content they want to port and optimizing it for the next iteration of RAGE. They'd absolutely have to tweak multitudes of small things to make it work but I'm sure they can figure it out, they have the source code in the end.

RDR2 did recreate the entire US side of RDR1's map, they could try and do the same for the next GTA.

 

Theoretically they could even disable some of the new mechanics introduced in VI that could potentially break the older content.

Battlefield 2042 tried something similar with the Portal mode where the game would disable some of the new 2042 mechanics when you're playing those older game's maps to simulate the feeling of that specific game. but unfortunately that was painfully unfinished at launch.

Exactly this!!! Thank you for speaking some logic here lol

We already know gta v e&e won’t even look good as rdr2 graphics so there’s no way they’ll integrate gta vi map in gta online lmao

Vice City would be the main map, of course. LS addition would be more of a side map of the next title.

Personally, I suspect that would be a Cuban-esque island.

Already tomorrow here folks, no sign of the target. Over.

[Gentlebreeze]

Theoretically GTA VI is already announced somewhere out there in space and it’s never tomorrow but in a few weeks or so.

I don't wanna be annoying guys but I really don't believe we'll hear anything about the next GTA before E&E is released. It's just my perception. They still have short-term plans for V, and in the worst case scenario, long-term plans.

I don't think anyone thinks we'll hear anything about 6 before March. We most likely won't hear anything this year at all.

i'm starting to think that gta 6 is just a government conspiracy to keep us all distracted from the real issues in the world like the fact that birds aren't real. wake up, sheeple!

[big_man]

Hey @Spider-Vice GTA e&e was scheduled to release last year right? 
 

It definitely is possible rockstar announce gta 6 after they release e&e this year… considering they had plans to release it last year they definitely wouldn’t delay 6 announcement because of e&e releasing a few month before it…
