Christmas is a day of joy for everyone. To see family, share nougat, watch ‘Love Actually’ and put Mariah Carey on loop. Well, for everyone except Rockstar, whose frustrated plans for ‘GTA V’ have been leaked. And with them, the craziest ideas from fans have gone through the roof. Because there could have been much, much more story if they hadn’t focused on ‘GTA Online’.
Return to Vice City
We must try to understand Rockstar. And it is that, at a certain point, what was the point of continuing to release DLC for a single player of ‘GTA V’? The company decided to focus on the next generation console versions and then on ‘Red Dead Redemption 2′. When it was time to work on the DLC, it was already too late for people not to complain while waiting for the sixth installment.
Among the leaked content, there are some DLCs that seem obvious. For example, the ‘Relationship Pack’ would probably bring a relationship system to Los Santos. But there are others whose revelation has certainly been surprising: for example, ‘LibertyV’, which apparently was going to mean a return to Liberty City from ‘GTA IV‘. For what? Well, who knows, of course.
In addition, we have ‘Prologue’, which would presumably be a prequel that would set things in order and take us to North Yankton, a state that we have only seen in a cinematic and a subsequent mission and about which we don’t know much. As for ‘Agent Trevor’, we know it because it ended up becoming the update for ‘GTA Online‘ called ‘The Doomsday Heist’.
Obviously, these two DLCs, especially the one that would recreate Liberty City, are potentially huge that, when it comes to eliminating something to focus on what really makes money (online gaming), it is normal that they decided not to fully program a complete city. In any case, it’s a shame. They would have ended up swimming in money, of course, but slightly less by taking the shortest path. This is video games in 2023. That’s how it is.
