Grand Theft Auto 5 Online Heists (Finally) Revealed

Ryan McCaffrey at IGN writes - "To say we've waited a long time for multiplayer Heists to get added into Grand Theft Auto Online would be the understatement of the year. The bad news is that we still don't have a concrete date for when it's finally happening. The good news, however, is that we do now have a killer trailer showing them off as well as an interview with GTA Online producer and lead mission designer Imran Sarwa"

Thank God! It's about time Rockstar! Can't wait! :D

Mankey3437d ago

Early 2015. . .

So officially

"years in the making"

lol

Palitera3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

Also they were revealed back in 2013, not now. And, again, they are using the "soon" card. This is getting so predictable...

On the other hand, the heists do sound awesome. Screw Rockstar. After this rereveal you're making it hard not to buy this rerelease...

XboxOneX3437d ago

Heists are going to be SOOO amazing on XBOX ONE. I love the trailer and it looks like the Heists are going to be very fun with friends :)

so this trailer show cops and robbers, RPGs, Attack Helicopters, heavy weapons, and everyone is cool with it, but when Hardline had the same things, nerds were whining about "overmilitarization of the police" and asking "why are heavy weapons in a cops and robbers game??" Gamer nerds are so fickle with their selective haterism..

FriedGoat3437d ago

Hardline glorifies the Police, you play as the cops in the single player.

GTA does not.

Not that I care either way, why are you even bringing up this irrelevant drivel?

paul-p19883436d ago

I remember when they were gonna be released in:

1) Late 2013
2) Early 2014
3) Spring 2014
4) December 23rd 2014
5) Early 2015

I am excited that they should be getting close, but this release date has been pushed back FAR TOO MANY TIMES!!! And all so they 'could put the final touches to it' (read: Sell enough shark cards to justify it, whilst giving people another costume they didn't even want...)

i hope they make us pay for it I have OCD i like to be fked fully not half way.

ExtoVert3437d ago

At the beginning of the trailer rockstar addresses all the fans that wanted heist..."I know you've been complaining"..."but you weren't ready"
I just find it funny i couldn't stop laughing when i saw that, but seriously its about time. Cant wait.

SP4CE_C4PT4IN3437d ago

@ExtoVert- I caught that right away too. Funny as hell.

nowitzki20043437d ago

Online heists might ruin GTA Online in some ways, if you make $100,000s or millions in a heist then GTA Online just wont be as fun, I like grinding out to have to make a million.

I just think the contact missions will be useless if i can go do a heist and make 20x as much as i would off of one contact mission.

SuperBlur3436d ago

what are you talking about , the heist will take just as much preparation as single player's one. the payout better be good or we'll have to go back to grinding a small job or 2 that gives a relatively greater reward in the long run.

nowitzki20043436d ago

@superblur

But if you take 5 mil in one take then whats the point of doing anything but heists online.

Im just hoping its not too easy to make money becase i really like the way it is now. you have to work for everything.

frostypants3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

Hmmm...might have to fire GTA V up again. This is what I bought it for in the first place.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

phoenixwing51d ago

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno50d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist57d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist57d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

Petebloodyonion57d ago

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
