My only problem with cutscenes with someone like Moodyman is that my character looks very out of place listening to someone like him and not punching him in the face or putting a bullet in him.

 

Like, nobody would talk sh*t to my guy like that.

 

Yeah same for me. I actually hoped that my character would just punch him in the face like niko did with gracie to shut him up.

My character is not a triggerhappy guy, but he has shot people for less. A lot less.

The earrings of the new girl character bears a strong resemblance to the earrings that Leona Heidern from KOF fighting game franchise has.

Currently, there's no word whether or not it's gonna be a new station (no, thanks, we've got enough radio stations already), or a new mix on Music Locker

Pretty sure it's going to be a new Music Locker mix, as there's gonna be remixes of those tracks by Seth Troxler. He's probably going to be (one of?) the new addition(s) to the Music Locker.

I'm not really a car guy, but I'm really happy that you lot are finally getting your long-awaited Tuners DLC. 

I hope its somewhat of the update you hope it to be and that the cars don't have silly flags on them.

To be honest, I think some of the cars look quite cool, might pick up a few.

I'm also pleased its going to be away from broomstick boys, there needs to be a place in freemode which is exempt from that pest.

Thank you, you now reminded me of the mini car models which are still in the game files...

 

Reminds me of my own collection I took a snapshot of before I moved

 

A whole new selection of cars to uniquely custom on Tuesday...... And i suppose the new features will be available on the older cars already in-game.

I don't judge because I don't care how many cars other people own. I was just speaking from Rockstar's perspective and for them the bigger the player save file, the more server resources it costs them. So the point is it's not an arbitrary limit. People like you and me who grinded all their GTA$ actually cost Rockstar money right now. Our only value is in boosting the player number and the likelihood that we buy future products. Also you just admitted 20 or 30 extra garage spaces wouldn't be enough because that number still prevents you from owning every car in the game.

 

How do you think the data is saved? Written down by little dwarfs who sustain themselves on gamer sweat? No, it has to be checked on Rockstar's servers every time the game initiates a save. If they were so charitable with their server resources, the game wouldn't be peer-to-peer.

Honestly i give up on owning all the Cars, at this point i want enough space to be able to afford the dlc vehicles, and sadly for me this "limit" for poor Rockstar (multi-billion company) i can't have Cars like the Monroe, hustler, impaler, and so many others, i still need to sacrifice 7 more slots through all My garages to make room for this update, wich Will take me hours to decide because poor Rockstar can't afford more space in the servers...first world problems, it's thought be a virtual millionaire

7 cars dripfeed

 

Probably but it sometimes irks me that "speculation" is often deemed as "confirmed information" before we've even actually got that information or seen it. 
What if there's no dripfeed and in fact the other 7 vehicles need to be unlocked via progression? 

Most people are also saying that the 10 vehicles we've been shown proper images of will be available on day one - but that's speculative too.  What if there's 6 vehicles you can purchase, 4 available via progression, with the further 7 vehicles being dripfed but again only unlocked by progression? That would still be "10 dropping at launch" but you'd just need to unlock some. 

 

Having said all that I think I'd prefer the KISS approach that most other people have adopted and just have the 10 + 7 dripfeed.

Thanks for telling me! Its great that there will be 10 cars available on launch and 7 dripfeed cars.

It's way more tolerable than previous dripfeeds.

Are you able to confirm that such a car is set to be released?

 

Furthermore, are you able to confirm that it isn't just a Benny's-type variant of the existing four-door model?

[Neonchu]

Saw some people saying that older cars will get new customisation - I'm excited, but also very skeptical since I don't remember seeing any evidence of that in the trailer. 

Can anyone confirm this?

Love the cars, but the names are utter sh*t. Calico? Euros not being 300ZX? Remus? R* needs to step up their name game, cuz it sucks rn.

Because it's based on the celica? It's a pun on it. For me that's pretty awesome.

f*ck PC I guess, the platform that gives visibility to the game on Steam and Twitch after so many years. 

One problem on pc are still the cheaters. No wonder they left it out. Not even the nice cheaters. The griefing and money raining ones. These are a problem still and no. I am not a console only player. Console and PC. They also f*cked up the game. Since the Casino DLC, lower spec pcs has more and more problems... 

Btw, also in console it runs poor. Not the pro consoles, but on the standard one. Xbox one and ps4. It seriously don't keep a steady 30 fps. Most time just by drive through the city it goes down to 20. With explosions and all even lower. And before i upgreaded my pc, it has problems to run steady and even had buffer problems. It runs well before the casino dlc. Even on the standard xbox one it runs better than afger thaf. 

On 7/15/2021 at 4:26 PM, ItsJustJohnny said:

Damn, kinda bummed out it's mostly JDM/tuner type cars

Oh yeah. There are also alot of european cars and some american. Better this way as again 200 Supers. If you complain, you should complain about all the updates with most super cars that even often look similair. JDM is atleast something, that fit the dlc and is requested for a long time. 

On 7/15/2021 at 4:32 PM, ItsJustJohnny said:

Less JDM? I thought I made that pretty clear

Sure. Why not. Let me guess, we need more supers right? If not and you are an us or european car fan: Ok, we still get alot of those in this update. But because you complain this way and no supers are in this time, i bet you miss those. Dude. There are like 1/4 of all cars are supers. (or cars that would belong to supers but was put into sport for no reason). I seriously want to hear, what you have to say about this and wich cars you seriously want.

Wait, so you guys are telling me that they still havn't fix those "advenced flags" people complained about so much? 

But don't worry, I think this time they might use advenced flags for drifting. That sounds much better. Hopefully they wont srew it up this time.

Advanced flags are a way for Rockstar to introduce new handling characteristics without having to change already existing cars. They can program something no matter how complex and then use the advanced flag bit field in a car's handling file to activate it. Not all advanced flags are bad, for example Rockstar finally figured out how to disable speed boosts from curbs but it's only active in F1 races, and another newer flag restricts the ability of tires to clip to that of the stock wheels, so generally speaking for cars from the DC&R DLC onward you no longer need to put off-road wheels on super cars because they don't give you better bump absorption. But when advanced flags were introduced all the effects were trash; they throttled the engine and made cars more bouncy. That's why the term advanced flags has a negative connotation. If these trash flags were removed the cars from the SSASSS and After Hours DLCs would be much improved.

Yep, thats why I said they can use them now for drifting (and hopefully whey won't screw it up this time)

Lol no dude. Cheaters have nothing to do with pc version being delayed (unless they trying to figure out how to get rid of them for good but I doubt they can). They probably got a deal to delay it as much as possible as a way to boost sells on consoles. You actually believe R* would willingly reduce their profits for what? To "teach cheaters a lesson" or something? At the same time screwing 95% of players who don't use cheats? Thats beyond silly my dude.

And beside the deal I mentioned, PC update will be most likely free (or a cheaper one). If they released them  all at the same time, that would surly hurt their sells as well. Honestly I'm not suprised its delayed.

The only thing this DLC needs is voice acting lessons for moodymann. Good lord on a unicycle.

Yeah thats my issue with all of those DJs. I get that they are not professional voice actors but even in RDR2 R* used some youtubers and they did a good job.

I think with online they just quickly recorded them once and said "f*ck it, thats good enough for online. No time for free acting lessons"

What I'm saying is that the savefiles are not that big. I'd be surprised if the are bigger than a few MB.

Secondoy they contain way more than just the car. They contain information about your character, properties, the pieces of clothing you own, the guns you own, the penthouse decoration you own, things you unlocked and so much more.

 

They dont worry about savegame space when adding clothes and all kinds of little stuff but somehow they cant give us more garagespace without finacialy ruining themself because of savegame space?

Lets not forget thst this has been the "reason" for them not giving us more garagespace since the 4th property slot.

Its not a good f*ckin name, and how is that even a pun?

It's not a play on the Celicas name, its just similar sounding word, that's just 2 letters off. Calico is a type of cotton textile ffs, it does not fit the car.

Wanted a similar name that still works as a Celica pun: Stellar/Stella, Terrestris, Elyse - all of them are actual call backs to the Celica's name, which comes from Latin's word for celestial or heavenly, hell use some names from Midnight Club...

 

I could swallow the Jugular and Locust, because those were GTA 2 names, this is pushing it.

A new DLC is happy days for us all, new players and those long in the tooth alike.

 

Existing cars such as the Futo and Warrener that can (hopefully) be upgraded into improved versions is a nice touch, which are soulful and characteristic cars in their own right but in dire need of bringing up to date and, if we can't upgrade them, being able to sell and buy new versions will be equally acceptable. This will ease some of our perpetual niggles about garage space too.

 

I guess when we go into Tuners mode we'll be entering a cloud-based lobby for up to 30 players away from freemode, and when we leave Tuners we'll drop back into freemode again. Tuners will exist as a mini game within the core game, which we can hop in and out of when we feel like it, as long as Rockstar don't make it too much of a grind for unlocks and hide essential items behind random paywalls, which massively impeded Bunkers, nor copy the Arena Wars pay for an upgrade system, followed by paying to remove it or replace it all over again once you leave the lobby, which nearly everyone hated.

 

Encouraging people to get away from freemode battles and feuds is a positive thing too, although Tuners won't resolve any of that long-term, but will take us away from the anxiety of fighting and protecting ourselves.

Cars work different though because with the other items you mentioned, you either own them or you don't. You only have a limited number of outfits, too. For weapons the only other thing that needs to be saved are what attachments you have, and your custom loadout. For penthouse deco the location of the items matter. That's it. Cars aren't saved like that because you can have multiples and each car comes with its own data structure of 100 entries containing modifications, color, license plate, etc. So basically each car is like an entire penthouse decoration save.

 

I never said more garage space would financially ruin Rockstar, but rather that the cost-benefit ratio likely doesn't make sense for them. They probably have data on how much money players with 200 vehicles spend on shark cards and I can't imagine the number to be very high. Maybe there are whales who buy all cars with real money on release day, but for them there's the extra 10-car garage.

With new race types like drift competitions, the cars don't need to be the new top tier in traditional races. I don't expect them to be. They just need to be the best and/or required for the new game modes.

Fair point. I used to work for Toyota in a previous life. We could never understand why the Celica got pronounced Seh-Lee-Kah in Britain but Seh-Lih-Kah everywhere else. Not like its hard to say. So it's pretty funny they corrupted the written name and forgot about the pronunciation, so yeah it is the Saliko lol.
