See that's thing, technically we should've unlocked the outfit during the OG Heists setups. That would've been nice. 

Out of curiosity, is there a legitimate reason was to why they're so determined to give us the stick? No changing the security/prison outfits or even just releasing the cop uniforms? Why is that?. 
 

I don't even have any theories or speculation as to why honestly, but I suppose there's a possibility they're planning to do something with those. Maybe it's been stuck in planning limbo for years much like the original CnC who knows.

During the most wanted mission Leroy O Neil, our character got umbushed so easy, and after we hunt Leroy he said that the LSPD told them (O Neil) that we having a plan to hunt them.

 

Is this some Hint for the winter DLC?, some heist with vincent envolving corrupt cops and LSPD?

GTA Online 2.0 is next year, we won't be having LSPD uniforms at all in VC, as it makes no sense .... so why not drop it now for online 1? Unless they have something big planned for Online 2.0 with SA, LC, VC Cops Content. 

This is a false equivalent though.  Them not giving you cop unis doesn’t mean they are worried about that image.  There could be lots of reasons why we don’t get things, not least of which is petty decision making.  Many have requested the Lost Slamvan, and yet, unless you win a lottery or dupe it, cant have  it.  Who knows why RS does what they do, but they are often not responsive to fan requests.  This cop killing thing doesn’t hold water as I can sit there with my character and murder one cop after another.  How is that kosher?

I have 2 theories if it were to release. 

DEC2024 - Vincent Wrap Up or something to that effect, those are given to us. 

JUL2025 - Michael gives us some costumes.

Wrap up for what exactly?  The Vincent missions feel like a loose collection of missions that aren’t really part of any storyline.  Sure they could create one, but they could do lots of things, really.

I've explained it before but I'll reiterate. 

There's nothing really slated (that I can see of) for DEC2024, I'm guesstimating that it's probably ending Vincent's story. (ending that cop thing we got a taste of). Probably, maybe, we get outfits in that since they really only have 1 final big DLC next year. 

Michael will probably be in Summer 2025, then a wrap up in December 2025, ending the Michael bit, moving on to Online 2.0. 

I don't see anything else other than something about Vincent and Bounties in December. That's probably just me though.

God, please no.  I was asking “what story?”  There isn’t one.  He is having us do off the books missions because of rogue cops.  This doesn’t really seem to be building to anything as the missions are all completely unrelated.  I don’t see a place for this to go really.  I think they are done with Vincent.  Just a hunch.

Well we've seen him as Diamond Security, Mall Security and then finally a Cop. We've done a heist for him to bust the Precinct Corruption part 1, Dispatch part 2 via the radio and probably part 3 coming out in December. Again, this is my headspace around it.

Bounty Hunters and Cops work hand in hand, so I have a suspicion that probably we're going to get 1 final thing with Vincent where we're able to use the Police Computers within the cop cars (apart from a couple). That would also work with wanted criminals with the LSPD under Vincent. Also, the Bail Van has a LSPD Computer. 

That's again, all an idea and very likely. Would like to hear others opinions and takes on this.

So I am assuming you are saying we would help expose police corruption then?  That would feel weird to me for a bunch of reasons: 1) what we have gotten so far really hasn’t built up to that; 2) we aren’t cops.  This is something IA would do; 3) this is basically what the ULP missions and DDH heist were, it’s already been done.  I just think they go in a completely different direction.  They could still release police assets even if next DLC isn’t a continuation of this “story” or before. The Vincent role with the casino and the bail bonds business feel like completely unconnected things to me, you see it differently.  Guess we shall see.

I agree with everything you said.  Bail bondsman are basically vigilante police officers.  I think that fits the arc of our characters better (ignoring that this would have made more sense earlier in the timeline).  But they aren’t cops.  Hell, in the ones for the bank robberies, the cops show up and we shoot it out with them then have to lose them—we are competing for the arrest of the bank robber.  That is why to me this was a compromise and can’t accurately be labeled CnC even if assets were used for a once scrapped DLC.  But as I said, the content is what it is, the label is less important, but if some enjoy this more conceptualizing this as CnC content, have at it.

we dont know that up to rock star   but  they where in to much of hurry to bring out a decent  dlc  they rushed it  again but i adgee  with you on some points

I just feel like the Vincent missions aren't connected with our new bussiness and i would say that the cop missions are quiet limited in terms of variety, it's only 4 types, i guess a GTA IV Most Wanted List would be way better, sure i don't mind missions like this, but the PC police with a Most Wanted List would be way better. Now...idk about you but i didn't enjoyed too much the new police cars, actually i didn't bought anyone, i still use my Gauntlet, do you guys think that if this DLC they gae us a car of each past decade of the late 20th century (70's, 80's and 90's) are we going to get now at least one cop car from the 2000's, 10's and 20's?

Edit: Buttom Dolar mission of that Wong girl, if i recall the name correctly in Richard's Majestic Studios? Michael DLC hint?

Law enforcement is the police, fbi, dea, etc in US.  We aren’t that.  We own a private business hunting down bail absconders.  We are more like Batman than FBI agents.  They did try to make this law enforcement related with the Vincent dispatch missions, the police cars released, etc.  I have wondered if they intentionally want to keep this divide, and that is the reason they won’t give us police uniforms.  You can see griefers trying to use them to act as if they are LSPD for cheap kills.

 

I think it's a missed opportunity that private security cars/liveries and uniforms weren't added with "The Contract". This is one of the few things Saints Row does better, you can store and customize any vehicle, taxi, police, ambulance etc., just give us a "Let's Pretend" store where you can buy working outfits of every branch.

Reused prop from the Nightlife leak. I recall the one time some props teased the next DLC were the vault props within the Casino update.

 

Spoiler

 

 

But we also knew Rockstar had the Casino Heist planned out that was initially cut from SP DLC. It only made sense for them to reintroduce that content, just as they did with the Casino at that time.

 

However, the blueprints in recent updates either refer to content already introduced in the update or, like the alien props in the Mercenaries update, hint at nothing.

I have no idea if the following is true. When a friend saw that screenshot he mentioned that there was supposed to be a music mixing minigame with the Dr Dre dlc.

Yeah, Rockstar had more content planned for Record A Studios, like uploading your custom mix or downloading others' mixes, but that was shelved. It's being cooked for VI anyways, and we're a year away.

Well, the alien hints from Mercenaries might take us to something still. Even this year the alien "story" will have it's developments. But if they put a DJ table and a pool table on this DLC is a bit suspicious...or just a troll, since a pool table is something that would fit perfectly in an arcade house, at this point idk why they didn't put billiards on this game...i guess a lot of people would play it since it's a popular game, unlike darts that a lot of people don't even know the rules. Anyone remember yoga as well? Lmao, probably the most useless mini-game ever, but still it serves to remind us that apart from arcades they never introduced other ludic activity...even when the Lowriders DLC came, i found very strange that they didn't add a lowrider competition that we have in GTA SA, but then again...nightclubs came and no mini-games like in the TBOGT (even San Andreas had that mini-game with dancing).

[boomboom5950]

anyone have any predictions on the size of the next update? i see some here who think it will be an actual C&C update which would be cool but i think rockstar at this point is saving it for their last update.

 

I think next update is going to be something really really small, maybe like a Winter Special or something with some more North Yankton themed gamemodes and a bunch of cars and thats it. But by the time we get the December update we will have Trailer 2 for GTA 6 released along with very likely open pre orders, i wouldnt be surprised if we start to see GTA 6 promo with the next update like that double action revolver for RDR2. Maybe they could throw in Jasons ranchero from the leaks/artwork as an unlockable or pre order bonus.

 

I think summer 2025 is going to be a properly huge update to send off gta online with a bang and move onto gta 6. The already really small gta online team is probably working on it from now; i think will be that rumored Michael DLC with the leftover C&C Arcade stuff thrown in there too as another big part of the update, no dripfeed aswell since GTA 6 promo will be moving really fast summer 2025 and it would be cluttered by rockstar posting about a stupid drip feed car or gamemode every week

I've been pondering on this for a long while. I firmly believe anything Cops related is likely finished, although I would love it if R* added the LSPD Uniforms in December (with maybe the Sherriff SUV, North Yankton Cruiser and the Buffalo Cruiser) since there's really no point in expanding Online 1 anymore in that kind of aspect, GTA VI is next Fall + Online 2.0 which would probably ... as a base, would have the huge CnC stuff available right off the bat. However, nobody is gonna be LSPD in VC, so I think they should just give the last bits of Police stuff in December, making that finally done.

This December, I can agree that something of a Winter Special/North Yankton/Holiday Event thing would be the likely scenario. Would be cool to have North Yankton Explorable or map port, make that a permanent addition to online + setting a heist there. 

As for Summer 2025, I think it's inevitable that Michael is the one to wrap the game up since he is the first one we were introduced to and sort of the Main Character. That would be perfect as a final send off to Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online 1. 

Fall 2025, I can see the wheels turning for GTA VI Story Mode releasing and likely Online probably in December (at a guess, unless they release both at the same time). 

[Crateman]

I think Rockstar putted GTA online online in the back burner ( as tez2 mentioned not long ago) with this update...

Bounty hunter missions are ok but some of them are 95% recycled like the Bank robbery, it's literally robbery in progress from Terrorbyte...the special bounties added some variety but nothing too crazy either.

Vincent disptch missions are a little of a let down to me, i was expecting interaction with the computer on the Cruiser, they said "Souped-up" cruisers but to start the missions it's just pressing a button, plus the variety is poor, only 4 missions, day 1 content felt smaller than expected.

I still think this is better than mercenaries but not by much, i was expecting a little more, zilly me, they could revamp arena wars and import/export imo.

The dripfeed content it's looking good and the car line up it's decent so there is that.

This update broke a Lot of stuff like tattoo's and performance on PC, hopefully it Will be addressed soon.

Honestly i don't know what to expect for December, i still wanna hope for something Big like a last banger like Doomsday 2 or Michael DLC, but i Will be very contained with my expectations.

 

This DLC is a solid 5.96/10 to me 

 

mercenaries was like 4.6/10 

 

Hopefully we get good stuff in December.

 

Ps: Rockstar F*¢ed PC players again, no E&E.

I would honestly love to see something like this again - free marketing and engagement points for those in the company who monitor that stuff, and fun for us to speculate about. Even if it was just some props by each of the new Bail Office locations, or even Halloween teasers in some way or another before the DLC released.

[RaeyrWittmann]

hmmm I think December will be a big one (bigger than summer DLC but not Cayo big) if not a Michael one and summer 2025 DLC will be plaster with GTA VI promotional for sure as final stretch and Any GTA V and Online Update after GTA VI are for us on PC since 1 no EnE give up and I will not see that S95 in my garage unless modded it in, 2 we will get GTA VI in PC after 1 year plus so rip if not RDR1 situation "soonTM" then again December got more effort and more cutsceney (is that a work again Rae) so yeah... *poof away*

It's interesting to see the ongoing criticism for "reusing assets", when this seems entirely sensible to me - reconfiguring an interior to enable a whole new activity seems like a good trade-off, especially at this point in the life cycle.

 

I'd like to see the *content* be more varied, but that doesn't require swathes of new assets.

 

I'm feeling a little burned by the last update, so have really low expectations for any further ones.  I know there's pizza deliveries to come and the Yankton stuff, but I don't do taxi work and I don't do assault on CP, so neither of those is setting my pulse racing.  I can even see the dripfeed for this update being dragged out over so many months that there is NO "Dec 24 update" at all.

[RaeyrWittmann]

I'm on the other end coming to this my expectation is dead set low like 6 feet under (see my mental breakdown in this thread before post weeeee) I expect the Summer to be as small as Los Santos Summer Special and or Equal to Mercenaries but eh it was decent the Variety is a B+ effort the one that keep me playing longer than I should for the past 4 DLC in a row is the QOL at Bunker and Bikers and unless they give new heist which is not going to happen at this point I'm retired like Mikey hahaha! since never play Bunker and Bikers since they launch cause the Time Constraint before... Pizza is a 1 thing fun thing and great time killer hahaha! and like Aragorn Enjoy Yankton and Aircraft carrier on cayo I will not touch it since I'm so bad at PVP haha! tho again my Dec '24 expectation is Drug Wars level of Content  issa big but not for everyone like everything else mostly majority might hate haha! alternatively it is Contract Big with Mikey so yeah choose 1 I guess

Yeah I think they've been quite creative with their e.g. interior reuse, and I'll be honest, idk how stuff like this is still criticism in 2024 - devs have reused assets for live service DLC and even full game sequels for decades, and especially at this point in this specific live service game's development, when they have something else much more significant on their plates - there is only so much you can expect, and that's understandable.

 

I think the way they've reused especially the CEO Office garages and the Import/Export Warehouses in the Most Wanted bounties was quite creative, and it was good to see them properly using the LifeInvader offices.

[MaxDeMarco]

Since ps4 and xbox one are at their limits and cannot handle more complex dlc, this is the best we will get.

 

It's still good dlc tbh, but if R. end the support for those old platforms and dedicated only on ps5, pc and xseries we could be getting more and better content

Record A was a missed opportunity, could have rotating artists coming into the studio and work on their stuff then just Dre all the time, or a business involving that, the studio is there just to smoke weed with Lamar and Frankin, get exclusive clothing there, see Dre come in and do his thing, do the co-op missions and that's it, so yeah

Mhmm, they ruined the Puma, then the Explorer, the Escort and Mondeo are China only, they've killed off the Fiesta (but probably return as an EV or a Compact SUV at some point, or exclusive to certain regions or countries), their gonna kill off the Focus as well as scrapping the Focus RS for the current generation, anything else am I missing?
