GTA 5 DLC: Liberty City expansion coming to single-player?

GTA 5 single-player mode has long been overshadowed by the popularity of GTA Online, which has often driven away Rockstar's developmental efforts including DLC releases towards the latter. However, renowned YouTuber MrBossFTW aka Ross has raised some hopes of seeing a new single-player DLC for GTA 5 based on some Liberty City game locales in near future.

Coming back to Liberty City DLC, the tipster clarifies to a fan that he is actually referring to the game location and not just the textures found in the files. This could actually mean that Rockstar's recent release of Liberty City stories for mobile phones and the game's secret unlockable T-Shirt reading: "I love Liberty City", may have something to do with Rockstar's plans for releasing a single-player DLC in GTA 5 for current-gen gaming platforms.

We've already been there in the HD age. I'd rather see a smaller new place while Vice City is done in GTAVI

I really want an Alien invasion, non cannon story similar to undead nightmare. Either that or a Supernatural one where not only Zombies roam the map but witches, werewolf's, ghosts, vampires, swamp monsters, banshees etc roam around...like Trevor has found the book of the dead or something and unleashed evil on Los Santos XD

Jalva3441d ago

It could work, GTAV is no stranger to acid.

-Foxtrot3441d ago (Edited 3441d ago )

Well there is that but even a silly, non cannon story would work

It worked for Red Dead...it was like "here's is a zombie single player story DLC...just because"

GHOSTxx4203440d ago (Edited 3440d ago )

Haven't they confirmed there wouldnt be any single player Dlc?

Would love to see it dont get me wrong im just pretty sure they said no already to the single player dlc. I hope im wrong ive been wanting to get back into this game.

Liqu1d3440d ago

Don't think so. Last I remember them talking about SP DLC was 2014 where they said "stay tuned for news on story DLC" or something like that. Haven't had any news since.

I do remember them saying that the team is focused on the online mode at the moment, but I haven't seen a confirmation that SP DLC is cancelled.

To be honest I don't think SP DLC will happen anymore now that they've got the cash cards making them money. Sad really because I bought GTA for SP, and even though I played a lot of multiplayer I always wanted more SP content.

derrickgott0073440d ago

When I broke the story of GTAV coming to ps4/xb1 people argued with me and said "No its not, Rockstar said it isnt" when clearly Rockstar has a record of saying "No we are not" when clearly they are.

deadpoolio3163440d ago

YES actually they did....They clearly stated there are no plans for anything SP and their focus was going to be on GTA online content/events in that from here on out

GHOSTxx4203440d ago

Well maybe it wont be single player but online and thats where we will get the liberty city.. Idk guess time will tell

Seen Ash vs Evil Dead? That cheesey slapstick horror would work well in a GTA5 DLC

Psychotica3440d ago

This is supposed to be a serious game not some kind of over the top Saints Row game. I for one hope they never do any of that crap you are suggesting.

-Foxtrot3440d ago

Red Dead was serious and they did something silly...everyone loved it

Same would happen here

cogniveritas3440d ago

Some part of me thinks that if Red Dead Redemption had online multiplayer that we never would have gotten Undead Nightmare. There would have been a bunch of multiplayer guns and events instead.

-Foxtrot3440d ago

That's why they need to open a new studio or get a studio they already have to create a seperate online GTA game or whatever online game they are currently doing in the main Rockstar branch.

Then they can release it well after release while the main team work on the core part of the game and the expansions.

KwietStorm_BLM3440d ago

What do you mean if RDR had online multiplayer? Do you mean a separate entity like GTA Online?

Clown_Syndr0me3440d ago

RDR had a brilliant multiplayer. ..

badz1493440d ago

@cogniveritas

Dude...RDR does have MP.

? My issue with this article is how do they know? No one actually knows if the team working on the online would be working on SP or even if they ever did in the first place.

"which has often driven away Rockstar's developmental efforts including DLC releases towards the latter"

Who at Rockstar stated its online content was made by the same people who would be making the single player or that it was made instead of single player dlc?

" if Red Dead Redemption had online multiplayer that we never would have gotten Undead Nightmare. There would have been a bunch of multiplayer guns and events instead"

Sooooooooo how exactly do you know that? Red Dead Redemption right now HAS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!

I'm sorry but I have to seriously question what you think you know, when you say something like "if Red Dead Redemption had online mulitiplayer"

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

So what if it had a feature that it actually for a fact has?

Did you forget GTAIV has online multiplayer too?

Have you not factored that they have done both and that the people making the online, are not the same people making its single player dlc? You do know that they hire developers based on certain talents right?

@FOX- "
Then they can release it well after release while the main team work on the core part of the game and the expansions" No.

How do you know they don't already have a team doing that and they are making GTA Online as a add on bonus vs a different thing? The core team is still the team that actually does the single player, they just brought in new members to do the networking and create the multiplayer modes.

I'm pretty sure they didn't just get THE ENTIRE TEAM doing mulitplayer. Consider what your saying, is very likely already how they develop GTA in the first place, merely just have the online part of the game, they likely don't feel it will do well enough on its own.

I could see case for making it separate for business reasons, but it makes more sense to just add it for free as a mode and bank on the DLC vs lower its potential install base.

showtimefolks3440d ago

personally i think it's too lte for GTA dlc single plater story. if it was gonna happen it would have happened already

i think we will see R* release a game in 2016(RDR,Agent,midnight club,La:noire etc,)

if a single player dlc is released i will buy it for sure but personally i just don't see that happening. R* are also making a lot of money from gta online

deadpoolio3163440d ago

No there are idiot GTA fanboys who even after all this time would still claim it was going to be like the second coming of Jesus from the fairy tales and would buy it.....The people who just think GTA is OK have moved on and wouldn't touch it

For DLC I'm ok with it. Next game should be an original city but Vice City could work too.

HOOHAARR3440d ago

I for one have no interest in GTA Online and if they don't announce something about story dlc soon I'll be selling my copy! I reall don't like the direction Rockstar seem to be taking GTA!!

What you don't like the overly realistic gritty ghetto thug life narrative....It definitely was much better back in the GTA 3 and Vice City days

HOOHAARR3439d ago

GTA's one of the only single player games still worth buying, looks like that's about to change!!

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese5d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde5d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast5d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake5d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow14d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown12d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8512d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown12d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8512d ago (Edited 12d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole11d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name12d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast12d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj12d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos25d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto25d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

Trash article and trash website.

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?
