Doubt it, it’s been confirmed that GTA and RDR are not in the same universe so Guarma wouldnt really make sense. 

I don’t think they meant the actual guarma island, but moreso a situation similar to it

Yeah fair enough I misunderstood, I actually agree with you - I certainly think there will be a portion of the game where Jason & Lucia are forced to lay low in an additional location outside of the main map. I’m thinking maybe South America or perhaps a rural location like Ludendorff/North Yankton.

I haven't played Spider-Man 2 yet, but with GTA's level of depth, how awesome would their map be for our Liberty City? Or would you want something more ficitonalized?

Yeah but it would honestly suck to not have it in SP. I know I'm not the target for the gacha-like online that VI will have but please let's not do some bullsh*t all over again and drop content for online that is actively DISABLED in SP like they did for V. No excuses for that imho 

 

Any people that might believe that R* would have any incentive to drop any singleplayer content can just look at RDR2/GTA V and see that this will probably won't be the case again and we'll have to wait for modders to expand the game, at least on PC.

I mean R* probably has incentive but TTWO surely does not as even a paid DLC would generate much MUCH less money than some shark cards for people to buy  

 

I wouldn't be surprised at all when we can see they were thinking about a map expansion being online exclusive almost a decade ago when GTAO wasn't anywhere near what it is today. And I doubt R* would care all that much about story expansions when they have to focus on their next flagship project while supporting GTAO at the same time. They'd most likely want to funnel the staff and the ~$100m+ they'd need to make that story expansion into their next title.

GTA VI (IV?) was the perfect child with EFLC, I just want them to focus on SP again as the majority of the player base do not care about GTA:O (or RDO). 

 

 

I fully understand your sentiment, but in the grand scheme of things, that hasn't been correct for quite a while. And RDO would never have been as popular as GTAO. As I said above, unlike GTAO support that ain't going anywhere, I see them having to choose between working on VI's story expansion or redirecting that resource to their next title, and they'll pick the latter basically every time. That's out of the question.

 

 

The only way I see them doing proper story expansions is if they're standalone full- or near-full-priced releases ($60-70), something like LCS and VCS, or even what VC was to III. Pure speculation, but that might happen if they're planning to make more than one flagship title between VI and VII, i.e., supporting VI for as long as possible. I can't see R* spending ~$100m+ on something to charge only $30-40.

Seeing the LV license plate in the GTAO dlc made me wonder, how big is the chance we get a Las Venturas expansion in VI? 
 

Like, rational me is thinking the chance is 0, because when I look at the VI map so far, it seems impossible they’ve spent any time at all working on a LV expansion, so if they started after the release they would just be better off making a completely new game. 
 

But emotional me is thinking Jason Schreier said there will be expansions and therefore a LV expansion would definitely be possible. 

I could see part of the game taking us to Liberty City as maybe Lucia and Jason’s wanted level is too high after a botched robbery/heist and they have to run away as part of the storyline…

Im think they can work on Next big game what will be certainly next Red Dead and support GTA VI in terms of SP DLCs and GTAO2, for sure potential Price for SP DLCs wont be cheap but is Rockstar Games so people would buy it easily for whatever price, ofc next Red Dead as next big game would have piority

That doesn't really make sense as Liberty City is based on New York, the United States' most-populated metropolitan area.

 

It would make more sense if they fled to the outback of Upstate Liberty/Pennsylvania, and Liberty City gets unlocked due to some dues ex machina.

None of these theories makes sense, otherwise Jason and Lucia would flee from Leonida in the end of GTA6 and we wouldn't have anyone left to play as until a Story Mode DLC released, go easy with those wild guesses.

This would be nice for a Liberty zone map expansion

Is the Clover name for Boston based off of their Irish population?

It makes perfect sense, easier to hide and disappear in a denser area. And Liberty City is already an existing platform for developers to work on.
 

Even in the GTA universe it’s happened before. Tommy was sent by Sonny to Vice City from Liberty City. CJ was sent to Liberty City from San Andreas in a mission, of course we couldn’t explore and it was just the one mission but it’s definitely something that has been done before storywise in the franchise. 
 

A botched deal or robbery leads them to flee to an area where they have someone to help them hide from the danger. They do a small storyline in the city and then go back to Vice for a revenge arc or to make amends. The scenario definitely makes sense. You’re acting like I said they went to Mars lmao

Why are you acting like Rockstar wouldn't give us an epilogue protagonist if they do indeed flee in the end?

 

Instead of dying, they flee and end up being replaced by a new protagonist. They would never force players to make a new save because they completed the story in GTA.

 

Using your comment to further my point, the story dlc could even be used to further expand on the Epilogue protagonist we end up with. End of one story leads to the beginning of another.

Yeah, just to be clear I'm not opposed to a return to Liberty City. I just think it'd be better to have the city "blocked" until the player can enter it; in the meatime, Jason and Lucia would rob a bunch of different areas in Upstate Liberty, and I'd love to see that map include the rest of Alderney, parts of rural PA, the Carraways, and parts of rural NH/Western Mass/CT/RI.

 

I'm dreaming here of a mega Northeast map. Granted I'm a West Coast guy, but I always thought there was something magical about the rural Northeast.

Perhaps they would, but it's a sh*tty idea, I don't wanna play as other characters in the end after bonding with Jason and Lucia. Niko, Johnny, Luis, Michael, Trevor, Franklin... all of them got away after pulling many extreme stuff in their respective locations, so why only Jason and Lucia has to flee from Leonida now?

Just because the past games did that doesn't mean this one has to.

 

 

John died, we played as his son.

 

Arthur died, we played as John.

 

Lamar was originally intended to replace Franklin in a cut fourth ending.

 

Niko survived but either ending he loses someone he cares about.

 

Johnny gang basically broke up, lost a lot of people and the club house, so not exactly a good ending, plus he ended up being a meth head and died in V.

 

TBoGT, Luis I don't know much about because I didn't play it. From what I know, the game was more vibrant and his ending would definitely reflect that. Im assuming he did not have a dark ending or lost anything.

 

GTA V trio survive the canon ending but the theme and tone of the game is very unrealistic and action movie like. that's understandable.

 

 

 

I don't see why this would ruin it for anyone, if they're going for a darker, grounded tone then why would you expect them to ride off into the sunset at the end? it'll result in death or then running off because they're definitely not getting away with all of that in a grounded, realistic GTA story. If it's not grounded then clearly they'll get away with it and have the typical ending you want.

This would be a great location for a similar segment to Guarma / North Yankton.

 

Imagine this is where Jason is at while Lucia's in prison.

Yes, I do expect them to ride off into the sunset.

DLC is calling free updates at the moment, last time we jumping online after story line, and won't back.

Expect to see map expansions and content for online, maybe online restricted like now, maybe not.

The most realistic locations in my opinion if there's going to be a GTA VI version of North Yankton in the story will most probably be either:

 

1. Any singular borough from Liberty City, mostly Bohan, as it can tie very well to Lucia's hispanic background.

 

2. Cottonmouth AKA New Orleans, which IS supposed to be in the GTA universe, yet is rarely talked about. There is a perfect opportunity to introduce it in this game, as both Leonida and Cottonmouth border the Gulf of Mexico.

 

3. Perhaps another major southern city, such as Atlanta or Charleston?

 

I'm sorry but I don't see them modeling some random northeastern town, the midwest again, or a South American city. The only exception to the latter I can see happening is Bogota because of Rockstar's weird inside joke obsession with Colombia.

I agree with you 100%, IIRC beta files and concepts showed that Liberty City was supposed to have a chunk of upstate New York and the Hamptons but was cut. Maybe if they are working on other projects that those old beta files could be reimagined and reintroduced some kind of way. We all know they really want to have all the cities in one game. They talked about it before but there were/still are limitations to work around.

I regards to Cottonmouth I know Rockstar has scouted New Orleans. They were around looking for spots for Saint Denis in RDR2. No telling what else those location scouts were looking at and what the material can be used for. The original French Quarter, French Market, and Jackson Square/St. Louis Cathedral area hasn’t changed drastically much besides modern roads and building code updates. The structures are modeled very nicely in RDR2 so if you think about it, a modern day area for Cottonmouth would look similarly to Saint Dennis, but with a high-rise downtown area, new roads, a modern day Port, the Crescent City Connection/GNO Bridge, we still have the same 1800s green streetcars running. I’d say it would be a cool concept that could be very easily pulled off by Rockstar.

Tbh, I'd like to see a modern New Bordeaux cross over into the GTA Universe. Obviously none of the Mafia characters/stories crossover, but New Bordeaux is a pretty well done city and making it "modern" with references to events like Katrina it would fit perfectly in GTA America.

At the very least, I'm looking forward to the inevitable mod that adds liberty city and los santos to the VI map. I've been replaying IV (then V after I finish) and it's great that, when I move to V, I'll still have access to the lc map via the liberty city remix mod. I do hope Rockstar has an official expansion though, obviously would be much better. I'm thinking they will, but only for online

If Liberty City and Los Santos are added to next gta online, rest assured, there will be mods on pc.

I am also playing IV right now, and have V too.
