Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk XII Mk 2

[R a f a e]

R* are so quiet about the winter update this year lol

 

First Dec update since Arena War where the hype just... isn't there

[MrThankUvryMuch]

Them not announcing the heist challenge result with the newswire has gotta mean they're saving it for the DLC announcement. They mentioned the reward for the challenge was coming 'later this year' so it has to be something in the DLC content. Imo it'll likely be a car or something that they'll show in the DLC announcement newswire along with the heist challenge results. They chose to end the event today, so they're definitely planning on announcing the DLC soon if they are holding back the results/announcement like this. Tomorrow as the teaser seems more likely to me now. If not then tues/wed next week

Anything's possible but I would say today's a dud

For update news? I wasn't expecting update news this early anyway but for them to not even announce the heist challenge results is just 🗑

 

I'd say the window is open from now til release since it's officially December, plus R* have made multiple/late announcements many times before.

There's no reason to hate shark cards tbh. There's 0 content locked behind paywalls in this game. If anything, Shark Cards are the most friendly microtransactions I've ever seen in a game. 

Says a lot when you got subscription based mmos that have a cashshop. Most B2P multiplayer games (like GTAO) wouldn't dream of giving away content for free, and yet in this game we get content patches twice a year. Seems like a pretty nice deal to me.

shark cards being so exponentially lucrative has caused ramifications for other Rockstar games. GTA online became their only real source of revenue and they mostly put everything else on the back burner. Red dead online wasn’t as lucrative so it got the sh*t end of the stick. there was no sense of urgency for them to develop a new gta title because gta online was making hundreds of millions a year, they didn’t NEED to make a new game. Shark cards also killed the chances of V having any single player expansion content. There’s a lot of reasons to hate shark cards.

Imagine the new cars dont have pics on the websites, kind of a new exciting idea.

Investing 1.5 mil just to receive a totally rusted out Walton (which we can ofcourse restore and modify (maybe after a small storyline))

not to defend shark cards,but you're kinda throwing red dead redemption 2 SP under the bus no?

 

whenever people talk about how gta online has caused rockstar to be lackluster,they always only mention red dead online while RDR2 was 1 of their most detailed and content rich SP games ever,yet people just ignore that.

 

when RDR2 was in full development all of rockstar's studio's worked on it and took years,so a big reason why gta 6 is taking so long is because of that. now gta 6 is in full development and will most likely be of the same scope as RDR2 so also taking a long time to make. heck AAA gaming is reaching longer and longer devs times now accross the board.

Yea, plus acting like R* needs to make a new GTA or a new game in general solely for revenue is just short sighted lol

 

GTA Online's popularity as well as its revenue is what gave R* all the time in the world for RDR2 and no doubt GTA VI. They've literally said this themselves multiple times lol

Arena War was announced at like 5pm eastern, Diamond Casino Heist at like 3pm and on the same day a GTAO event started so honestly anything could happen

I mean… if the game wasn’t popular it wouldn’t produce the revenue it has. I didn’t think I’d have to point out that those are one in the same. And of course it’s popular, it’s a one of a kind experience.

 

and I don’t see how it’s short sighted to say that rockstar needs games to make money. That’s literally what they do, it’s in the name “rockstar games”. They cannot be indefinitely sustained solely on shark card revenue FOREVER, even though they have for the better part of 10 years. They need new games. Not saying they have to drop a new game every 2-3 years but to say they don’t need to is nonsense. Even take2 is pushing them to release games faster, even if that isn’t actually happening.

Red dead 2 is a masterpiece, but post release rockstar just kinda let it fade away without much support. They made their money from it and moved on pretty fast.

Such a shame too. RDR2 has so much potential in such a fast and detailed world.

they're still trying to think of a number past 2 trillion that will sound believable

Tbh with Cayo added to the equation it's not impossible at all. I don't know why people (not talking about you, mostly about some "dead gaem!!!" comments) somehow think this game doesn't have a f*ck ton of players doing stuff like heists.  If you somehow are able to look at the play counts for all the heists between the beginning of the heist challenge and the end of it, you might be able to calculate a range.

 

Pretty sure everyone's passed the 2T legitimately and that Cayo was a big contributor, how much I guess we'll have to wait.

Most likely we will get a vague teaser line in the next newswire, followed by a trailer Friday, December 9.

Release on the 13th.

 

Considering that they didn't announce the heist results? Maybe........... tomorrow?

In all seriousness, and I know people like Tez can vouch for it, R* have monstrous amounts of telemetry being sent to them every time you play GTA V, both Online and Story Mode, even job-specific telemetry. They don't need to make anything up when they probably get so many stats that it looks like Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin.

If people hack those stats on PC somehow, well that is indeed another story - but R* do have data analysts that would probably look for that, and they do open job applications for that kind of thing! Might be a guesstimate, approximation, but not "made-up".

 

I swear people are getting more and more batsh*t with conspiracy theories since the last 3 years. I blame social media bandwagoning.

Yeah you´re right I´m sure that they can track it but GTA$ 2 trillion it´s like... a lot, even with bonuses and such, maybe we got "close" and they are saying "well let´s give them this sh*t, they have done a great job"

I'm always impressed with the amount of statistics studios can have on what players are doing in the game 

[Spider-Vice]

I mean yeah, if we got to like GTA$1,899,351,271 I'm guessing they'd give it to us anyway.

It's one of the better ways of studying what exactly your players are doing, what their playstyle is and many many more things. A lot of that data is also calculated into other statistics automatically, all things that can directly contribute to the development of future content, marketing, etc. And this applies to most game studios, especially the live service game ones.

[Mexicola9302]

Yeah because 100 million is nothing.
