All the content had to be downloaded online through your linked social club account. It SHOULD all be linked to that. Fingers crossed, release day i'd wager is going to be a cluster fuck. I'm sure eventually it will all be working properly.

Why? This is not standard practice.
But I agree it's not a big deal. I'm just saying this will piss off people more than anything, that's why it's stupid.
Wait, what?! How do we know cash won't be transferred?

It's not a significant chunk of content. This is pretty on par with any of the monthly releases to GTA Online over the last 12 months... A new car, new plane, new gun. The only "sizeable" addition is the noir missions, but for those who haven't played GTAV, these side missions are very, very minor, and this looks to be one of about 60 "Stranger and Freaks" missions.
The stock car, monster truck, and Dodo are basically reskins. There's already a monster truck that was released in GTAO in July, the stock car is a skinned race car but with new decals on it, the Dodo is a new model but looks pretty similar to the Mammatus, and it can land on water.
*edit*
Also, if you anybody has a 360, I'd be happy to share my copy of the game (assuming we can do that?) so that you can use it for a few hours, beat the first mission, and then mail it back to me. Just as long as you mail it back to me

How is it a "significant chunk of content" ?
6 vehicles
2 weapons (1 with a shooting range challenge)
3 'collectable' missions, one of which is taking photos...
I wouldn't call that a chunk, or significant. They are akin to any game with pre-order bonuses.

It's not a lot, but still nice.
Glad I waited

Actually, some of those are available to everyone (like the mission about taking photos).
As you should. I wouldn't buy it again, had I already played it on my PS3.
Make it cheaper for the once who already have the Ps3 version. I would be OK with that.
But this is stupid.
What about people who didn't even have a ps360?
Pc and or nintendo player?
Or people who weren't old enough to play it last year?

I think it's pure paranoia which stems from GTA forums.

This isn't really a significant amount. A couple of new guns, a couple new cars, a couple new side missions (and if they're anything like the side missions already in the game, you aren't missing much but a boring collectathon and maybe a cutscene), new outfits, and a new sub you'll probably use once. This content isn't really much to get out of shape over. It's just a little bonus. The game is packed full of content, this is really, really minor.

well to be fair they did leave stuff out of this anoucement and said they want people to discover some surprises in the game on gameday regarding content.

I have the collectors edition on my X360 & have got GTAV on order for my X1, does this mean i will also get all the collectors edition content for my X1 version?

Bit of a kicker for PC only gamers since they are not able to "return to GTA 5". So there will be no way for PC gamers to access this content "legally". Ah well Rockstar treating PC gamers and the PC platform with utter contempt yet again, now there is a surprise.

What if I traded in my PS3 game would Social still see me as having owned the game before?

I'm hoping that is the case, as I've sold my copy. If not, it's no great loss.

At this rate HL 2 Ep 3 will be out before heists. Rockstar should be ashamed of themselves.
They had to wait over a year because they chose not to buy it on the platforms that were available. The developer cant take responsibility for the fact that somebody couldnt afford/didnt want to pay money for a console/ their game. This is what people mean by entitlement, you act as if they OWE you something. They dont owe anyone a PC port, they are the content creators, they have spent tons of money and manpower to make their game. With the amount of content and quality in this game, 60 dollars is fantastic value, even without this "thank you" pack. This is consumerism and content gluttony taken too far, in my opinion.

Yes please.
The V8 interceptor from the the original Mad Max movies combined with the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. I have to admit, that is pretty awesome.

Hmm...Rockstar's answer to one of the questions has me a little concerned.
I was actually planning on triple dipping this game, upgrading from the 360 copy to PS4 in November and then come late January picking up the PC version.
I guess this means I shouldn't transfer my old character to the PS4 version then just to be safe?

Image is from the PS3/Xbox 360 version, which is why it looks rough.

So they still haven't integrated the Special Edition content into the game? We're still going to get the items right away?

You can transfer it, but anything you do with that character after you have done so is not shared between platforms. So if after you transfer, you only play on PS4, then it makes no difference. If in a year you decide to go back and play the PS3 version, the stuff you did since the transfer will not be on that character.
Why is that concerning?

I think this means that you CAN transfer to other consoles. It's just that if you were to progress with the original character on x360/ps3 further you can't update again. It's not like a crossplay feature or something.
BibiMaghoo
Member
Yes, because once it has transferred, it doesn't update that transferred character again. The PS3 character will be at the point of transfer until you play it again on PS3. The PS4 character will be at the point of transfer, until you play it again on PS4.
The only issue with that I can see is that your online character is not cross platform, as in it doesn't update on each when you play on each after transfer.
Did you have in mind that after you did the transfer, you would often switch between console versions?

Will this work for people who buy the next gen versions way, way down the line (at least a few years)?
Also, what's stopping people from buying the current gen versions right now?

Content producers can be as picky and choosy as they want about what customers they want, obviously.
Just as customers can be as picky and choosy as they want about what content they purchase.
I choose not to reward this producer-driven policy by not purchasing their content at launch and at full price.

Both next gen systems do full installs and dont read the disc after a initial disc check for all games now.
I would hope Rockstar has optimised the game for that set up instead of the HDD + Disc read set up last gen since it isnt a option now. For all purposes digital and retail should perform identically.
Just being able to load more of the game into the larger pool of RAM should help that issue I guess.

I was going to upgrade from the PS4 version to the PC version in January. The rockstar guy said you can only transfer your character once, so I'm guessing that once that character has been transferred from 360 to PS4 that it would then be impossible to transfer that character to PC.
I know it's pretty weird to get the game on 3 different platforms, but I really love this damn game.

I was wondering the same. I can definitely see myself getting this on PC in 2015 or 2016 if I get a new gaming PC.
I think the transfer thing, initially, was to prevent the questions about transferring a GTAO player from Ps3 -> PS4 and then BACK to PS3, effectively making them interchangeable which could cause problems based on new content that's released on PS4 and not on PS3 (or X1 vs 360 if that's your thing).
From the descriptions it sounds like you're going to be able to move your PS3 character to EITHER X1, PS4, or PC, but not all three, or two of the three. I'm assuming this is a pretty big edge case, but if there's enough people, then I could see them allowing you to import any character to any platform *once* and then they effectively make two different characters.
What's interesting is that they DID explain you could not then port that PS4 character back to PS3, so it sounds as though you will have two separate characters basically as of November 18... The PS3 character, your PS4 character imported from PS3, and then those two will exist in paralell universes. If you go back to play PS3 version, you will play with the character you left off on the last time you played on PS3... from what it sounds like at least.
