@xXKingJoshXx They fixed the Hydra so it's back to it's original VTOL handling.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Just rested a bone Stock Faction and it still crashes over kerbs

This is disappointing.

 

[Ken]

I guess R* is limiting these new cars.

 

[McLaren]

I've read that it takes turns better than a Pfister.

We've seen pictures of the Cheburek. But we haven't had pictures of the rest.

Vapid Caracara

View attachment 723769

Wait, so are we getting two versions of this beast? 6 wheel weaponized, and a civilian version?

Edit*
Went hunting on GTA F; dammit, it's a mod. Looks good as a regular pickup and likely nowhere near as crazy expensive.

 

[rallymorten]

So here's an interesting discovery made by the usual lot on the internet: apparently, the dripfeeding isn't going to be just one car per week, but rather a couple of cars at a time - sort of like the last time we had a non-business update, which, curiously, also involved Stunt races for cars with special abilities.



Given that the R* article drops content being released as far into the future as May 29, however, don't expect this to mean all cars can be yours by the end of April.

Edit: According to this, it's the Ellie/Tezeract next Tuesday, then the Caracara the week after, then the Issi/Flash/Seasparrow at some point, then Tyrant and Dominator GTX and lastly, the Cheburek, Jester and Michelli.

Also - and this is a European saying this - if we can get a proper venue and enough interest for it, I'm digging a proper endurance race with the Hotring, purely because Hotring.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Considering the fact the Hotring Racer is instead called the Hotring Sabre, I do wonder if we'll also end up seeing a Hotring Faction

And the Hotring....
....Hotring SomethingOrOther

 

[rallymorten]

As much as it is an interesting thought, I seriously doubt we'll see the "Hotring class" expanded upon. Partly because.. well, it's R*, partly because they've already gone to the extreme length of creating 30 different liveries for the Sabre, and partly because - as we all know - any further cars would break the "class" in one way or another and be at least twice as expensive.

That said, probably going to hit the Hotring Circuits again later today. Apart from those utilising the time-honored strategy of going around the track backwards and causing frustrations, yesterday was extremely good fun.

 

[pokemonfan58]

Well sorry if I'm late on the news but........

HOLY CRAP AM I WITNESSING MY OWN PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE NEXT UPDATE WHICH IS THIS UPDATE BECOMING A REALITY????!!!!!!!! Here's what I'm talking about.

I had a theory that since you can now place props underwater in the creator now, I always thought rockstar was preparing for yet another stunt racing update with the new doomsday vehicles featuring the Deluxo and the Stromberg.

This double cash and rp event for stunt races might be showing signs my idea is bound to come to life especially considering this event started after Rockstar got done drip feeding all the other vehicles. Plus people have been talking about updates getting smaller after the doomsday heist update so this could be the start of them for 2018. Keep in mind though, all of this may not necessarily guaranteed that the next update will be a new stunt race update. We just got to wait and see.

This post was from March 6th. Weeks before Southern San Andreas Super Series was announced. And honestly, out of all the facts and speculations people have made regarding about what the next DLC update could be, my predictions on how this new update was going to turn out was possibly the strongest I have ever seen. The fact the Deluxo and Stromberg could work well for new stunt races, *I also didn't expect the Jetpack to get itself some new stunt races, so good job surprising me there Rockstar 👍* as well as Rockstar sneaking in the ability to place props underwater in the creator recently made this literally the best predictions for what the next DLC could be. And guess what? IT HAPPENED!! And this is coming from someone who has no past experience with leaking things from the game's files.

So if there's something to learn from this, not always are possible DLCs leaked from the in game files. Sometimes you can find the signs through gameplay but problem is, people would rather trust leaks from people like MrBossFTW or believe we'd be getting the Casino DLC soon which I think is unlikely bound to happen, since the building's been saying opening soon since launch and nothing new has popped up about it.

For a racing update this isn't too bad. The Hotring races are kinda meh but I rarely race on GTA anyway.

Absolutely loving the GB200 so far, it's easily my favourite car that came out yesterday, it's incredibly both on and off the road and it's lack of airbourne stability is just what I expected from a Group B rally car.

I also bought the Hotring (which is alright) and the Fagaloa, which would be brilliant for cruising.

None of the hypercars interest me at all.

Had a quick look as well at the dripfeed cars and the only thing I'm really disappointed with (HyperCars aside) is the caracara and that's mainly because it's a forced 6x6 and has a fixed MG. Honestly would've preferred it if it was just a regular '17 Raptor.

Really looking forward to the Issi Classic, Jester Classic, Flash GT & Dominator Classic

The Hyper Cars could have been interesting had Rockstar not make them slow like molasses because of this engine resistance thing Rockstar introduced because they look somewhat nice and I like how the front of the new Entity looks. Will still buy them but not selling one of my cars for them.

Overall, the rest of this new update's vehicles including the dripfeed are probably the best I've seen yet. Not only do we get a new dominator which the fans have been demanding BUT WE GET TWO NEW FREAKING DOMINATORS! Both based on the old and new Mustang. Also did I just saw a Ken Block Ford Focus in the dripfeed?

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Yesterday’s races: Start...floor it...turn left...turn left...turn left...dodge a random...turn left...wake up, open eyes...turn left...spin out while turning left...floor it...turn left...turn left
Those two races was by far the most boring thing I’ve ever done in this game. Except for......no, most boring thing.

EDIT: Why do hookers not like my Volvo?

They don’t!? It has to be something to do with that American-looking rearend of the car. Because everything else is basically perfection on wheels. It could also be that they feel like they’re not worthy a ride in a car that is that glorious


No, I’m not even the slightest biased

 

[CSMDuty11]

Also, it's shown in the video but alongside the joke cardboard + duct tape modifications, the Cheburek does also have legit mods that can make it look somewhat like the Lada VFTS outside of the widebody and the foglights. ...And its own type of dumb-looking over-the-top spoiler, which was an IRL modification on some too.
And, after seeing videos that showcase a bit of the car's handling, I imagine that I can safely say it drifts better than the Drift Tampa.

A year ago a friend texted me one Tuesday morning on my way to work asking me what the new update content was. I jokingly replied to him that they added a Flying Delorean that can travel time so you can cross the map instantly or go back in time and take out player crate missions with rockets and explosive cannon. I was, of course, being totally facetious and mocking the already ridiculous stuff that had been coming out at the time. In retrospect it is rather silly how close my ridiculous prediction would be.

The moral of the story is if you think about the most ridiculous 🤬 that you can, your predictions will probably be pretty close.

 

[leeislee]

R* should have made the maze bank interior into the old hotring tracks from GTA SA. That would have been awesome. The new hotring races are boring and full of the absolute dregs of idiocy and ramming.

 

[rallymorten]

@STI9 I've found someone worse at doing simple things than you, and it's @Nuschel01 from last night forgetting how to line yourself up for a jump and not take out literally the only other GTPL crew member (who'd just made a reasonable comeback) in the race with an NFL-would-approve in-air tackling:

 

[Nuschel01]

I swear this was not intentional
You don‘t have a clip of my overtake, have you?

That has to be the funniest clip I've seen. I kept watching the first car and suddenly "ENTER PLAYER THREE" 👍

 

[rallymorten]

I do, actually. And it's just got done uploading that too.

So this is about a lap-and-a-half later in that very same race (thank you catch-up). Having practiced his "aerobatics" on me, Nuschel then decides to do his best 2 Fast 2 Furious impression, including a car crash at the end:

You wanna play again today?

I would have rammed you too, accidentally of course

 

[Sage Ages]

Would I be correct in thinking that the boost pads just bring you to a specified speed instead of just a general speed increase? I think I just threw a race driving on one.

Well Rockstar has added a batmobile. And a car that can go underwater, and Heists where you have to fight against an AI and his army of clones and stop them and his billionaire sidekick from launching a nuclear missile, floating tracks that breaks the law of physics, and a flying bike, etc. etc. and ETC!

I'm 100% sure some form of drugs were involved with the employees at Rockstar when they were making these past new updates, especially Doomsday because back then in the past GTA games, you wouldn't expect to see stuff like flying cars and vehicles with crazy ass technology. Sure maybe it's nice to do stuff like this once in a while maybe as Easter eggs but Rockstar has over killed it a bit. That would be like me making a game set during the Civil War and have all the soldiers use guns that weren't available around that time, like AK-47s, MGs, and full auto shotguns.

Next possible update for GTA Online. A heist update with a insane story similar to Hong Kong 97 and cars from wipeout.

 

[McLaren]

After the Heist update, I actually feel like seeing an A10 Warthog is even less of a possibility bc it’s not some ridiculous, in-the-future war vehicle anymore.

The A-10 won't be added because you can't put dollar sign wheels on it.

Not with that attitude you can't.

I was in a lobby yesterday with three super try hard players. They all had the respirator on, silver hair style and all the gear on. They were constantly, and I mean every 15 seconds killing themselves to avoid anyone taking them out.

It was pretty astonishing to watch and even more hilarious knowing the new update has changed it were EWO affects K/D. It's a beautiful thing knowing that they are damaging what they cherish the most.

I don't think they knew and I hope no one ever tells them.

 

[McLaren]

Who reads patch notes? By the time most notice and Google, they’ll hopefully knock down their precious stat considerably.

 

[Sage Ages]

Apparently the EWO changes are messed up. The intention seems to be that choosing EWO after being hurt by another player will count as that player killing you. However, this only seems to show the "___ has killed you" message on your end and the server/lobby still counts it as a regular suicide, k:d unchanged and all.

Correction: EWO does affect the k:d, but it only shows the "____ killed you" message to the person who killed themselves.

Either way, the changes only affects EWO. Killing yourself any other way still acts as normal.

gg R*.

Also, that revolver nerf has effectively turned it into a short-range heavy sniper. 👎

I once was in a ps3 lobby with 4 people killing themselves if any one of the others had even the slightest sight on them. It took 30 minutes for someone to finally get a kill out of those 4. Even my crew leader, a modder himself, was amazed at how try hardy those guys were. He actually started clapping when the first kill happened.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Speaking of taking the easy way out, why did they remove the ability for me to kill myself while inside of my yacht? I'm lazy and don't feel like navigating through my yacht to get to the door. Taking a cyanide pill is a much quicker and easier way out than trying to find the door when you're fresh out of bed.

It wasn't removed this update but I just remembered it.
