FAQ

When will the DLC drop?
Soon. Rockstar usually pushes updates around 3:30AM EST or 9:30AM UTC. Check this helpful map showing all the timezones.
Does the DLC cost money, how can I get the DLC?
The DLC will be made automatically available through whatever launchestore you have the game on. Those using the Rockstar Launcher can expect to see their games updated first, so be ready for that.
What can we expect?
Judging by Rockstar's announcements and timelines, this DLC won't be massive. They've confirmed new business battles and yacht missions, probably comparable to the previous client jobs we've gotten with the Terrorbyte.
Additionally they've teased some cars, of which we've gotten images of a new supercar, a musclecar and an F-1 car. Some new race modes have been mentioned as well. It's safe to assume that the content will be dripfed in stages, especially the more interesting items might be left for later.
Have the Acura NSX and new Toyota Supra been added?
Some images of the Toyota Supra and Acura NSX being converted at Benny's have been floating around - these are fake and have been put into circulation by a clickbaity asshole who shall not be named.
Are weekly updates on Tuesdays starting now?
Probably not. Rockstar always goes a little off their usual schedule with DLC drops and this is probably the same thing. It's hard to say if the sales will already change this Thursday, but I'd recommend y'all reek the benefits of the sales before you regret it.
What's going to be on sale next? / When will the next sale be up? / What's going to be in the next DLC?
If any Rockstar employees are on this sub, we'll let you know.

Richard Valentino (aka The Red King), successful businessman, billionaire, founder and CEO of Valentino Enterprises, and founder and leader of the Masquerade Mafia. He is a notorious crime lord bent on ruling all of Los Santos and immortalizing his name as the greatest criminal mastermind in American history. Despite his villainous occupation, he has a tragic backstory which revolves around his motives. Making him a rather sympathetic character unlike most GTA characters.
In the future, I plan to make a GTA web series with this man as the main (villainous) protagonist. Richard would also be the main protagonist of all of the heists (Fleeca Job, Prison Break, Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding, Pacific Standard Job, Doomsday Heist, Diamond Casino, Diamond Casino Heist, A Superyacht Life, and Cayo Perico Heist).
​
Richard Valentino/The Red King

• Goals:

1. Rule the entire city of Los Santos.
2. Become immortal by being forever remembered as the greatest criminal mastermind in American history.
3. Get revenge on everyone who treated him horribly in the past.

​

• History: Richard Anthony Valentino Jr. is an American male of Italian ancestry. When he was a child, Richard lived with his mother and father. The family loved each other very much. However, his father Richard Valentino Sr., was facing financial problems and worried he wouldn't be able to provide for his family. So Richard Sr. turned to crime in order to support his son. He went from smuggling to robbing banks. Until he was finally arrested for his crimes. Richard Sr. was sentenced to death by the electric chair. As he saw his wife and son looking back at him one last time, his last words were "I love you both." Richard Jr. watched his father die for providing for his loved ones. Richard Jr.'s life had gotten a lost worse afterwords. He was always bullied at Elementary and Middle School by all the popular kids for his family not being rich and famous (it's a social status thing). Until one day, the kids apologized to Richard and asked him to be their friend. One week later, Richard was invited to join a club with the popular kids. Richard's mom saved up enough money to buy Richard a fancy suit and bow-tie for his initiation. Later that night, as he entered the clubhouse, the popular kids reveal that they only pretended to be his friends just so they could humiliate and beat him up. One of the kids even gave Richard a black eye. He escaped while the other kids mocked him and teased him in the rain. Richard lost the only happiness he had ever had in a long time. Richard sat in the rain crying, waiting for his mom to come pick him up. From that day forth, Richard swore that he was never going to be pushed around again. He vowed that one day, he would be the one on top and in charge of the city that wronged him. In his 20's, Richard began to build his fortune and start a company. Richard had become a billionaire and businessman. However, this was just a cover to hide his true line of work. Richard started a criminal empire called the Masquerade Mafia, known for always wearing masks when committing crime. Richard went under the alias "The Red King," a mysterious kingpin bent on ruling the entire city. Richard became one of the biggest crime bosses in the criminal underworld. Nothing would stop him from claiming Los Santos as his own.

​

• Personality: Richard is a broken man. Only knowing anger and sadness. After his traumatizing life as a child, Richard became severely depressed. Even becoming an alcoholic. To the public, he is an average billionaire playboy who threw and went to parties, drank, and so on. As the Red King, he was a cruel, remorseless tyrant bent on taking over the city and getting revenge on everyone who wronged him. Despite his thuggish tendencies and tyrannical nature, Richard is not completely heartless. Although he is a ruthless mob boss, Richard has a moral code. Richard would never do drugs (even though he deals drugs from time to time), he will never kill anyone unless necessary, he will never murder children or their parents as they remind him of himself when he was younger, believing them to have it lucky. Richard also despises abuse of any kind (Animal abuse, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, etc.) Richard is also disgusted by rape, pedophilia, sex and human trafficking, etc. Richard is still capable of love and kindness. This is proven as he treats his wife like a queen and loves her with all his heart (even hoping to have a child with her one day). Richard is also a kind boss towards his employees and his goons. Richard is also extremely intelligent and incredibly strategic, carefully planning his heists and orchestrating missions to steal the things needed to prepare for the heists.

​

• Appearance:

1. As himself: Fair skin, well built and semi muscular, no facial hair, brown eyes, black faux hawk haircut, gray suit vest, black scruffy suit pants, and all black canvas shoes.
2. As the Red King: Deadeye Warrior Mask (with built in voice changer), black suit vest, red wool coat, black gloves, black scruffy suit pants, and all black canvas shoes.

​

• Crimes: Murder, Racketeering, Organized crime, Torture, Terrorism, Theft, Destruction of public property, Arson, Drug dealing, Weapons dealing, Blackmail, Mutilation, Incrimination, Con artistry, Smuggling, Vandalism, Robbery, Money laundering, Conspiracy, Fraud, Grand Theft Auto (Get it? Lol).

This is not an official character in the GTA franchise, but I figured I could pitch an idea for an anti-villain/villainous protagonist. In the future, I plan to make a GTA web series with this man as the main protagonist. Richard would also be the main protagonist of all of the heists (Fleeca Job, Prison Break, Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding, Pacific Standard Job, Doomsday Heist, Diamond Casino, Diamond Casino Heist, A Superyacht Life, and Cayo Perico Heist).

2. As the Red King: Deadeye Warrior Mask (with built in voice changer), black suit vest, red wool coat, black gloves, black scruffy suit pants, and all black canvas shoes.

​

• Crimes: Murder, Racketeering, Organized crime, Torture, Terrorism, Theft, Destruction of public property, Arson, Drug dealing, Weapons dealing, Blackmail, Mutilation, Incrimination, Con artistry, Smuggling, Vandalism, Robbery, Money laundering, Conspiracy, Fraud, Grand Theft Auto (Get it? Lol).

This is not an official character in the GTA franchise, but I figured I could pitch an idea for an anti-villain/villainous protagonist. In the future, I plan to make a GTA web series with this man as the main protagonist. Richard would also be the main protagonist of all of the heists (Fleeca Job, Prison Break, Humane Labs Raid, Series A Funding, Pacific Standard Job, Doomsday Heist, Diamond Casino, Diamond Casino Heist, A Superyacht Life, and Cayo Perico Heist).
Richard Valentino (aka The Red King), successful businessman, founder and CEO of Valentino Enterprises, founder and leader of the Masquerade Mafia. He is a notorious crime lord bent on ruling all of Los Santos and immortalize his name as the greatest criminal mastermind in American history. Despite his villainous occupation, he has a tragic backstory which revolves around his motives. Due to his tragic backstory, he is a very sympathetic character.

Richard Valentino/The Red King

• Goals:

1. Rule the entire city of Los Santos.
2. Become immortal by being forever remembered as the greatest criminal mastermind in American history.
3. Get revenge on everyone who treated him horribly in the past.

​

• History: Richard Anthony Valentino Jr. in an American male of Italian ancestry. When he was a child, Richard lived with his mother and father. The family loved each other very much. However, his father Richard Valentino Sr., was facing financial problems and worried he wouldn't be able to provide for his family. So Richard Sr. turned to crime in order to support his son. He went from smuggling to robbing banks. Until he was finally arrested for his crimes. Richard Sr. was sentenced to death by the electric chair. As he saw his wife and son looking back at him one last time, his last words were "I love you both." Richard Jr. watched his father die for providing for his loved ones. Richard Jr.'s life had gotten a lost worse afterwords. He was always bullied at Elementary and Middle School by all the popular kids for his family not being rich and famous (it's a social status thing). Until one day, the kids apologized to Richard and asked him to be their friend. One week later, Richard was invited to join a club with the popular kids. Richard's mom saved up enough money to buy Richard a fancy suit and bow-tie for his initiation. Later that night, as he entered the clubhouse, the popular kids reveal that they only pretended to be his friends just so they could humiliate and beat him up. One of the kids even gave Richard a black eye. He escaped while the other kids mocked him and teased him in the rain. Richard lost the only happiness he had ever had in a long time. Richard sat in the rain crying, waiting for his mom to come pick him up. From that day forth, Richard swore that he was never going to be pushed around again. He vowed that one day, he would be the one on top and in charge of the city that wronged him. In his 20's, Richard began to build his fortune and start a company. Richard had become a billionaire and businessman. However, this was just a cover to hide his true line of work. Richard started a criminal empire called the Masquerade Mafia, known for always wearing masks when committing crime. Richard went under the alias "The Red King," a mysterious kingpin bent on ruling the entire city. Richard became one of the biggest crime bosses in the criminal underworld. Nothing would stop him from claiming Los Santos as his own.

​

• Personality: Richard is a broken man. Only knowing anger and sadness. After his traumatizing life as a child, Richard became severely depressed. Even becoming an alcoholic. To the public, he is an average billionaire playboy who threw and went to parties, drank, and so on. As the Red King, he was a cruel, remorseless tyrant bent on taking over the city and getting revenge on everyone who wronged him. Despite his thuggish tendencies and tyrannical nature, Richard is not completely heartless. Although he is a ruthless mob boss, Richard had a moral code. Richard would never do drugs (even though he deals drugs from time to time), he will never kill anyone unless necessary, he will never murder children or their parents as they remind him of himself when he was younger, believing them to have it lucky. Richard also despises abuse of any kind (Animal abuse, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, etc.) Richard is also disgusted by rape, pedophilia, sex and human trafficking, etc. Richard is still capable of love and kindness. This is proven as he treats his wife like a queen and loves her with all his heart (even hoping to have a child with her one day). Richard is also a kind boss towards his employees and his goons. Richard is also extremely intelligent and incredibly strategic, carefully planning his heists and orchestrating missions to steal the things needed to prepare for the heists.

News & Information Directly from Rockstar

- GTA Online: The Diamond Casino & Resort (Trailer)

- The Diamond Casino & Resort Grand Opening - July 23rd (Newswire)

[Casino Trailer]
Experience Excellence. The Diamond Casino & Resort opens for your enjoyment in the heart of Los Santos this Tuesday, July 23rd.

Opening Soon

[Casino Image]
The massive construction project on the corner of Vinewood Park Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard is nearing completion, radically changing the skyline of Los Santos forever. When the brand-new Diamond Casino & Resort opens its doors, one and all are welcome inside to play, or just to stay in the most luxurious residence in the entire state. More than just a place to let go of your inhibitions and your sense of the passage of time, The Diamond is the one-stop destination for quality entertainment, high-end living and a range of experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

The Casino

[Roulette Table Image]
If you're looking to dive into the action, the casino floor has a selection of activities to enjoy. Play against the house using Chips in Three Card Poker, Blackjack and Roulette. Slot Machines with a variety of prizes are also at your fingertips, while Inside Track offers a lounge to watch and cheer along with friends as the drama of virtual horse racing unfolds. Spin the Lucky Wheel in the lobby for chips, cash, and clothing or even the new Truffade Thrax supercar that can be found whirling on the podium during opening week. And be sure to check back each week to see what new high-end vehicle can be won. Check Rockstar Support for details and limitations.
Guests looking to push the limits of high-end resort fashion can also choose from the carefully curated rotation of new clothing and accessories in the Casino Store.

The Penthouse

[Penthouse Image]
Sitting atop The Diamond is an oasis of luxury for those shopping for a lavish pied-à-terre or just a feature-laden property in which to entertain friends. The Master Penthouse that sits beside the Roof Terrace with infinity pool and stunning views entitles the owner to VIP Membership status including access to VIP Lounges, High-Limit tables, plus a range of special services via the Penthouse phone including aircraft and limousine services and more. Renovate your residence with several upgradeable floorplans including a private Spa with a round-the-clock personal stylist, a Bar and Party area perfect for hosting raging Member Parties and featuring private retro arcade games, and a Media Room to enjoy games of Don’t Cross the Line and contemporary Vinewood cinema like Meltdown and The Loneliest Robot In Great Britain. As an owner, you can select the Penthouse’s color palette and patterns, and cement a place among the LS nouveau riche with a range of modern art from the Casino Store – from refined portraiture to pop art and daring modern sculpture – that can all be moved and placed around your property.
With a Master Penthouse you’ll also become a member of The Diamond family, and the family business needs your attention. Help property owner Tao Cheng and The Diamond staff protect their investment from the clutches of a corrupt family of Texan petrochemical magnates in a series of all new co-operative missions. Each mission pays out special Awards for first-time completion and hosting the entire story thread will reward you with a highly coveted, brand-new vehicle free of charge. You can also pickup additional work and odd jobs to earn extra cash and chips with a quick phone call to the Diamond’s head of operations, Agatha Baker.

Twitch Prime

Going up? Let our concierge service take care of all your pre-flight checks, so you can step right into the cockpit with the engine ready for takeoff.

Experience Irrelevance

The Penthouses

Experience Residence

The Penthouses

A penthouse at The Diamond is not just a palace. It’s your palace. If you want a private spa, you can have it. Home cinema? Consider it done. Your own personal bar, private arcade cabinets, and office space? Just say the word: Diamond.
Experience Prominence

Master Bedroom

Silk sheets, fresh air bottled on the summit of Mount Chiliad, and round the clock access to the greatest roof terrace in Los Santos.
Experience Adolescence

Spare Bedroom

We all have that one friend. With a spare bedroom, they’ll have somewhere to crash that isn’t your bidet, and with access to their personal wardrobe they won’t have to keep borrowing your clothes.
Experience Fragrance

Spa Room

Your private spa comes with a round-the-clock personal stylist and a hot tub infused with extract of jojoba and a dissociative anesthetic.
Experience Interpretive Dance

Bar & Party Area

Why go to a night club, when a night club can come to you? The most exclusive venue in town is the one where you’re in charge of the guest list.
Experience Incompetence

Arcade Games

Time to dig out the high-waisted jeans and the fluorescent headband: Diamond Casinos have the exclusive rights to classic arcade games Invade and Persuade II and Street Crime: Gang Wars Edition.
Experience Correspondence

Office

Sometimes you need to take care of your affairs, but there’s no reason you should have to leave the lap of luxury to do it. All of our offices come with a gun locker and a hidden safe as standard.

The Casino

[Imgur Mirror]
Experience Affluence

The Casino

Here, your dreams are reality, and your reality is a dream. Here, every whim can be satisfied, every fantasy fulfilled – no impulse control, no windows, no clocks, and no clearly labelled exits. Welcome to the Diamond standard.
Experience Eminence

Table Games

Don't be fooled. Roulette, blackjack, poker - at The Diamond, these aren't games. Every card dealt, every spin of the wheel, every polished quip, every gasp of the crowd, every delusion of grandeur: this is art.
Experience Overconfidence

Slot Machines

Here at The Diamond, we understand the fine art of the slot machine. We recognize the split-second reflexes, the years of research and training, the rock-solid intuition and the towering IQ that make a true master. That’s right. We’ve been waiting for you.
Experience Subservience

Inside Track

Horse racing is the sport of kings, and Inside Track is the only way to experience it – the drama, the majesty, the excitement, the perfectly simulated aroma of freshly cut turf and hot manure - all without leaving the comfort of a bespoke, air-conditioned suite.
Experience Tumescence

Lucky Wheel

Some people say that fortune favors the brave. Here at The Diamond, we’d rather say that destiny favors those with a full membership. Spin the wheel once a day, and you’re guaranteed a massive dose of self-importance every time.

Casino Store

Casino Store

Exclusive fashion. Unique designer artwork. There are some things in life that money can’t buy. But don’t fret. Our in-house store offers a rotating selection of tastefully curated items that can be purchased with Chips.

With the release of the GTA Online Casino update, Rockstar has done something rare: re-visited and updated old game content.

Daily Objectives is a feature in Grand Theft Auto Online introduced in the Heists Update. They are unlocked at Rank 15. Players will receive Cash and RP rewards for completing all three given objectives each day and a large bonus for completing them for a week and a month. Reward cash is deposited directly into the player's bank account.

From the GTAV Title Update 1.47 Notes:

Updates have been made to Daily Objectives in GTA Online:

• A number of PVP related Daily Objectives have been removed
  
• The first Daily Objective in the list will now be the same for all players each day
  
• The cash reward for completing the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly streaks has been increased
  

First, let's look at the updated rewards for completing Daily Objectives:

• Daily Reward: $30,000 and 5,000 RP (formerly $25,000 and 3,000 RP).
• Weekly Reward (completing all Daily Objectives seven days in a row): $150,000 and ???? RP (formerly $100,000 and 15,000 RP).
• Monthly Reward (completing all Daily Objectives 28 days in a row): $750,000 and ???? RP (formerly $500,000 and 50,000 RP).

Source
Now, on to the new objectives. Yesterday, my two character's objectives were:
Character 1

• Participate in the Featured Series.
  
• Use the RC Bandito.
  
• Call a Mugger on another player.
  

Character 2

• Participate in the Featured Series.
  
• Complete an Air Freight Cargo supply mission.
  
• Resupply the Counterfeit Cash Factory.
  

Each of these seemed to be appropriate to the individual character - my first character owns an RC Bandito, but my second character does not. My second character already owned a hangar and Counterfeit Cash factory. I'm assuming that objectives will not be assigned if the vehicle or property is not already owned by the player (but time will tell).
Here's the list of objectives so far, from my own and from searching around the subreddit:

• Participate in the Featured Series (make sure that this is visible in the Interaction Menu under Hide Options - Other - Featured Series; the current Featured Series is Motor Wars).
  
• Use the RC Bandito.
  
• Call a Mugger on another player (old).
  
• Do an Air-Freight Cargo supply mission.
  
• Resupply the Counterfeit Cash Factory.
  
• Complete Club Management (u/RocketScientific, posted here and u/JoystikJester posted here)
  
• Parachute from 650 feet (old; from u/JoystikJester post here).
  
• Participate in a Land Race (old, must be the same for everyone today).
  
• Modify a vehicle at Benny's Original Motor Works (from Stillinlimbo post here).
  
• Spin the Lucky Wheel (from Stillinlimbo post here).
  
• Participate in a Land Race (old).
  
• Sell Air-Freight Cargo.
  
• Deploy your parachute near the ground (old).
  
• Source Vehicle Cargo.
  
• Hire a player for your Motorcycle Club.
  
• Mod a Mk II weapon (thanks to u/mateon692).
  

Post your objectives and I will add them to the list.
EDIT: See my comment below for the full list of updated objectives. Also, as mentioned in this post, u/LianAico was given the previously removed objective of "Play a round of Golf". It's possible that this is a bug/glitch introduced with the Casino update, or perhaps Rockstar has reintroduced some previously-removed objectives.

How are you supposed to know which status you are? What if you have to become platinum status before you can become diamond status? I did all casino work missions, all of the casino story missions as a host and as a crew member. But what if you have to do casino work before completing the casino story in order to progress?
Platinum Status membership is a title that’s earned through dirty work. Complete 5 Casino Work Missions for head of operations Agatha Baker (and pick up a tidy sum of GTA$ and Chips along the way) to receive the Lucky 7s Tattoo and the Casino Store’s special accessory, the Kronos Ära Watch (including all variations), a truly luxe timepiece.
Diamond Status is reserved for all Platinum members who go the long haul. Complete all co-operative missions to earn exclusive liveries. Platinum members who host the missions will receive an exclusive livery for a highly coveted brand-new vehicle. Platinum members who participate in a host’s missions will receive an exclusive livery for the new Annis S80RR supercar.
There's simply no way of knowing if you've done it right, all you can do is host the missions, join someone as a crew member, do 5 casino work missions and hope for the best.

Part 1. (Did you know?)
It’s big, green and white. It’s called a Stockade. It has its own unique vehicle map icon. It can hold two people and has bulletproof tyres as standard. It spawns very occasionally Online and can be stolen but not (duh) modified or parked in your garage. It can be picked up by a Cargobob. It won’t explode if you drop it from height. It used to have its own Freemode Event (which you can still see in the stats menu under ‘Locked’) It is operated by a private security firm called Gruppe Sechs. They are based on the British security company G4S (formerly Group 4 Securicor). The name of the Stockade, Securicar, is also a reference to this. It is impossible to read Gruppe Sechs as ‘group sex’ and then unsee it. The firm has its headquarters at 707 Vespucci (otherwise known as the Go Center) This location could potentially have underground parking added in the next DLC for going to and from Casino Missions>
Part 2. Bringing Hone the Green. (Theories)
The Vinewood Casino in GTA V is also called ‘Be Lucky: Los Santos . (a parody from the Will Ferrell movie perhaps?) aka: “Stay Classy San Diego”. Future player based missions may revolve around the movements of large cash amounts. The more popular your Casino becomes through promotion (like Nightclubs) the bigger the take, and the sooner you can do a Bank Transfer (read: Sale) The Casino has vehicle parking and interior access already from the rear (by the Racetrack) so expect small blue entry circles to appear there upon purchase, post DLC Potentially this means: 1) yet another mostly redundant unique parking area for Security trucks and new/existing armored 4x4 vehicles (like the Merryweather ‘Mesa Grande’ and ‘Patriot’) 2. One tine cutscenes upon Casino purchase and options to buy decor upgrades, security and additional vehicle spaces.
In other words, the same tired process...
Part 3. “You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off”
So how will Rockstar get us to part with our hard-earned money? What manner of new weaponised and upgradeable vehicles will they convince us is essential to optimise our Casino experience? Think about how the ‘Bunker’ DLC created new vehicles...
Maybe CEO associates will get Green and White liveried Sedans or SUV’s to provide escort duty for players rolling with a Stockade? Or even as decoys. (Three or four Armored vehicles leave the Casino but only one of them has cash in it) And will you still be able to open the back doors with a sticky bomb or a shotgun/sniper blast? lol
Maybe Rockstar will force more player corporation in missions for a bigger payout. Maybe players will be able to steal Armored Trucks from each other in free roam by working as a team using real tactics? (think of the movie ‘Heat’ among others) Maybe there will be a new Final Casino Heist!
Would love to hear your theories/wish list for what might be coming?
And finally, what private vehicles would you like to see finally appear? There isn’t likely to be many more updates for GTA5 online so time is running out...
Personally I would love to have an upgradeable range of Enus luxury cars like the Super Diamond and Cognoscenti (which of course already comes as a custom armored variant)
A new Dewbauchee sports car would add to the classy high roller aspect to running a Casino.
I would like to finally be able to buy the De Santa residence from Single player.
New smart clothes.
And of course (as always) a way to finally get rid of all of my Pegasus vehicles lol (Even a small ‘decommissioning’ Mission with 25% of cost payout would do me)
That’s all I have... I really hope this DLC can do something... anything, that surprises me.
BunkeFacility/Arena/Hanger.... such uninspiring places to visit. Even the Nightclub has got tedious.
I want to celebrate my hard earned status and not just be at the bottom of the food chain anymore. I am a CEO right? A successful entrepreneur (kind of) and I believe it’s time to be that high roller, sipping Martini 🍸, playing Blackjack, keeping the clientele happy (call girls optional), and making some money in style. It’s been a long tine coming but...
Let’s have ‘Ill Gotten Gains Pt III 😃💕

This is a post I originally did under another username on Metal Gear Wiki, and someone suggested putting it up here. So here's my idea: Basically, it'd be called Metal Gear Solid V: Dispatches From Outer Heaven. A giant conclusion to V, made by a bunch of us working together to come up with a giant game plan and story line and such, detailing the events from the recovery of Sahelanthropus to Venom Snake's final defeated moments before heading off to fight Solid Snake in Outer Heaven. Also flashbacks, subplots, you name it. I'm thinking big, like Sergio Leone's original 10-hour cut of Once Upon A Time In America, but exponentially bigger. Who knows, we could even send it to Konami and see if they make it. Is anyone here interested? Oh, and I'm happy to be on this fine sub-reddit. Now for stuff I posted at the MG wiki.
Basically a bunch of changes and additions that could have been done, a subject that I'm sure makes everyone here just want to snap and kill Kojima or Konami for the game. So before I start, no acidic anything, please.
1) Major expansions to the story. The core is already there, but to use an analogy, it is a draft or a scriptment instead of a thousand page novel it could have been. The story could be put into as much as five chapters (so that it'd be "Revenge, Race, Peace, Pain, and something involving how blood and national feuds carry on to the next generation). They could have gone into Skulls Face's backstory a lot more, for example. And adding several additional missions for before Mission 51. And more exploration of themes, for example how low humans can sink in certain conditions. One element can be switching between Venom Snake and Big Boss on their separate stories.
2) Locations, a lot more and much more detailed. I got to thinking about this while playing the Uncharted series recently, like they have a lot more variety to their locations. And also these locations are much bigger in scale, like they actually feel like you're there. For example, a sequence set in a Colombian city has lots of people, like it's being used, instead of say the Mfinda oilfield in MGSV. Or even like in the old Mercenaries game for PS2, I don't know. There is a tiny sense of this in the hospital escape sequence. Here are some locations I'd add: A rail yard or two, a few whole cities and lcoations that are fully explorable. I'm going to probably go overboard here, but bear with me. Locations such as London, Tokyo, Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang, Chicago, Baltimore, Barcelona, Beirut, Belfast, Boston, Copenhagen, Dallas, Washignton DC, Delhi, Detroit, Dublin, Haiti, Havana, Istanbul, Kignston, Las Vegas, Texas, Long Island, Los Angeles, Manila, Mexico City, Miami, Mumbai, New Orleans, Paris, Pittsburgh, Portland Oregon, Rome, Singapore, Stockholm, Tehran, tel Aviv, Trinidad, Rio de Janiero, Brussels, Addis Ababa, Baghdad, Bogota, Lagos, and Montevideo, Uruguay. And some other ideas too(plurals just to be safe): Hotels and motels, train stations, nightclubs, marketplaces, Indonesia, mangrove swamps, settlements, caves, mines, back alleys, research facilities, hydroelectric dams, crash sites, skyscrapers, trains, construction sites, lush forests, mills, R&D places, sewer systems, military forts, depots, refineries, tropical resorts, ship fleets, small town main streets, suburbs, farmland, churches, black markets, concrete walled checkpoints, slums, building ruins, subways, office buildings, schools, refugee camps, flooded areas, mountain ranges, Wyoming-like forests, universities, megastores, lakeside resort towns, snowy forests, highways and freeways, icy wastelands, desert expanses, prisons, mansions, amusement parks, Chernobyl, theaters and opera houses, tanker ships, ruined castles, casinos, island resorts, mental asylums, national parks, Cold War bunkers, Korean Demilitarized Zone, submarine bases, nuclear plants, savannas, jungle guerrilla camps, gulags, Cambodian-Vietnamese border, Sino-Vietnamese border regions, Guatamela (mountain forests and cities), Shining Path bases, Malaysia, Kashmir, Iran-Iraq border, Ethiopia, swamps, mountain peaks and lodges, American deserts, island bases, rain forests, the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego (it's a very nice hotel) and villages.
3) More characters, and those already there get much more personality and backstory. For example, characters such as the Spetznaz commander and the CFA executive would get names, and new characters could be some such as US agents outside of Cipher's controls, looking to continue the Cold War espionage status quo and take out both Diamond Dogs and XOF. More factions too, such as battling UNITA instead of just their private forces.
4) Missions. A lot more, and not the done-in-three-minutes ones that are in the game. Again, some inspiration from the Uncharted series and the hospital sequence (as well as some sequences in Code Talker and Metallic Archaea missions), as well as the first four Solid games. More variety, lot more connected to the story, and the lengths expanded, to almost the time for an MGS4 act for each. And get rid fo the ranking system at the end of each mission, it takes away from total strategic freedom in completing the missions. And more "set piece missions" like the REX usage in Guns of the Patriots. Some examples of missions and mission types to include: Firefights with XOF, infiltrating the middle of an open battlefield, sneaking through a hotel to avoid XOF scouts within, surviving a white phosphorus mortar strike (taken from Spec Ops The Line), more boss battles, psychological operations on a client's behalf, coverly helping Big Boss find materiel to build Outer Heaven, assassination missions, sabotage, recon, search and destroy, anti-air battles, using anti-air turrets for a long time (like in Jak II), stowing away on a C130 supply aaircraft, intel retrieval, street long firefights (two examples to come to mind Three Leaf Clover in GTA 4, and that Hue City mission in Call of Duty Black Ops), Lone Wolf and Cub-style sub-story of revenge (it's not what Kojima envisioned, but would be awesome to include), smuggling, torture missions, acquiring of field safe houses, COINTELPRO-like stuff, raids, hsotage rescue, hijacking and fighting on a moving train, convoy rail shooter, more detailed village capture, economic warfare, finding out about the CIA's Special Activities Division, covert action paramilitary operations, nuclear espionage, helping Amanda against the Contras, battling body-snatchers develoepd by the USA or USSR or someone, using a humanitarian organization to gather info on XOF, counterterror ops, interrogating XOF soldiers with methods such as waterboarding (as Ocelot), searching places where Cipher is experimenting on humans, terrorist attacks and methods (such as conventional, urban bombings, and unconventional, bioterror), wanton destruction, hostage taking, fighting a force engaged in genocide and rape, leading a massacre in a civilian building to take out several high-ranking Cipher officials (mirroring that of XOF in Cyprus), escorting an HVT through a trap-filled forest or city, sabotaging an ammunition depot, return too Camp Omega to steal files regarding Cipher's covert strike forces, escaping a Soviet bloc prison and then state secret police in the streets, escaping Kowloon Walled City from an XOF ambush, vigilante actions against crime lords and such (Batman or Punisher style, you pick), and rescuing a young Naomi and Frank Hunter.
5) Gameplay. Make it not so expensive to use stuff. Add new stealth modes.
6) Restore all the stuff that was cut from the game (list from NeoGaf): - "80's Filter": Removed for being system-intensive. - Camp Omega Special Mission (E3 2013 Trailer): Unused for unknown reasons. - P.T Active Decoy ("Lisa") (2014 TGS gameplay presentation): Presumably cut for relationship to the cancelled "Silent Hills" project. - Missing Delivery Point Invoices (missing locations?): Removed for unknown reasons. - Usable Battle Gear during free-roam (Piggyback Collector's Edition strategy guide): Removed for balance reasons. - "Burned/Skull Boss" Model (Kojima 2015 Launch Trailer): Unused for unknown reasons. - Africa Burning Village Cutscene (E3 2014 trailer): Removed for unknown reasons. - Africa Child Soldier Training Cutscene: Unused for unknown reasons. - TGS 2014 Africa Mission (TGS 2014 gameplay presentation) - Mission 46 Unused Dialogue (found in game files) - "Mission 51" Unused Mission (found on CE Blu-Ray disc) - Unused/unknown alternate costumes from the leaked script, including "Foxtrot". "Sandstorm", "Realtree", "Panther", "MGS3 Naked", "MGS3 Sneaking" and "MGS3 Tuxedo", along with buddy uniforms like "Horse_Parade" and "Horse_Western". Removed for unknown reasons.
And some more stuff I forgot to add to that list: Gameplay: Some mechanics that could've been in the game and improved from Peace Walker, and in general, such as the ability to lead a team of soldiers on stealth missions in the field, arena-like heavy combat, sneaking through a whole giant structure like in the first two Solid games, and even more CQC moves. More gadgets and tools that are automatically taken into the field, or not, such as a prototype grapple, charger, flashlight on the chest, upgradebale backpack, gas mask, first aid kits, and a Swiss Army Knife. Destructible environments, and a mechanic that shows the world around you degrading in relaton to destruction and resource farming you cause (for example, using missile launchers instead of tranq guns menas a forest area will be bombed out for a while). Bringing back lockers to hide bodies in. Bringing a sense of scale on top of the already large world, like say a Call of Duty game , or the Uncharted series, where it looks really big. Hiding in rafters, blind fire ability, other stuff. Lot more enemy types (based on things like Digimon, X-Mne legends, Jak and Ratchet series), but also more individual and unique personalities for them. "Demon Mode", a mode where a hallucinating Venom Snake is able to inflict much more damage on the environment and people around him, while taking on a bloodstained apearance similar to Demon Snake, and the environment looks like fire and hell on earth. Use of environmental hazards to take down enemies, such as windows about to burst in a storm, and bashing an enemy into a generator to kill them, and also ledge takedowns. Ability to pick up bricks and bottles for distraction or combat, and basball bats, pipes, crowbars, old boards, machetes, hatchets and swords for combat uses. More climbale walls and cliffs, alogn with building climbing and wire hanging. Play as Ocelot, and thinking of Mortal Kombat X where Troy Baker played Erron Black, a whole roster of playable characters available once you complete certain missions, each with a wholly different playign style to Snake (not like Mortal Kombat where everyone has the same health and button control scheme). Exponentially more options of how to complete a mission to make it "total strategic freedom". Bringing back health and stamina bars. And the ability to swim. More airstrike variety too. Ability to lure certain factions into the same area and have them fight it out. Mother Base's customization increased exponentially, and the ability to have to defend it rather than the FOBS in person. Get rid of the Extreme versions of missions, but since doen correctly they're kind of cool, make them into challenge mode kind of thing. Some original Subsistence missions, or something like surviving on limited supplies like in The Last of Us. Creatures like kaiju. "Skull mode" where Venom hallucinates himself as Skull Face, as a method of covering his own guilt at his actions.
Missions: Some possibles: Raiding a UNITA or MPLA camp to free child soldiers; assassinaitng a country's minister of something; huntnig down XOF and Cipher officials and hight value targets (for example an enforcer for Cipher who ensures. through blackmail or force, that a certain nation will secretly stay in Cipher's good graces); escorting a group of injured POWs deep in an enemy forest to an LZ due to losing your stash of Fulton devices; destroying jammers in a city area so an airstrike can be called in; clearing out a port in a war zone city for a client; escaping from a city in the midst of a serious riot; sabotaging guard towers and ICBM launchers ar a missile site; destroying a series of tunnel entrances; infiltrating a remote base where Cipher is developing new weapons of mass destruction and superguns; crossing through a trench line to sabotage soemthing; explore the Cyprus hospital once again to find some intel XOF did not know about before they realize it; infiltrate a nuclear reatcor complex; Venom heading out into the Afghan desert to find any sign of Quiet's remains, all while trying to hold in his pain at losing her; boss battle with a parasite-infected lizard that escaped from one of Skull Face's facilities;
Story: For one, lot of themes, such as gangsterism of big nations in history; the roles and purposes of nations; causes of wars such as greed and arrogance and revenge; the loss of original reasons for wars over time until they just exist; economic troubles; authoritarianism; drugs usage; the seeds of chanegs that contribute to the end of the Cold War; America's superpower status and moral self-righeousness (like in the original story plan); fatalism and nihilism at a world secretly controlled by forces and thugs beyond anyone's control; desperation of humanity to survive; the cusp of a much more techno world, as seen in the rest of the games set after this. Go more into the Metal Gear universe, its history, topics such as Skull Face's corruption and how Diamond Dogs helped shape world history. A lot more going into the themes of PAIN and RACE AND REVENGE, as well as how the first Big Boss becomes a giant prick, woven into the story structure. A lot of subplots to add to the main story, and I'll go hog wild here if I can with some ideas: 1)The return of the biological son of the original Bog Boss and a local prostitute from a brothel trip made by Jack and some of his friends before he shipped off to Korea, now intent on finding and meeting his father. 2) Diamond Dogs finds itself teaming up with a splinter group form Cipher, "the Purifiers", who believe in the original goal of Cipher but not the methods and what ever it's become nowm and a fragile alliance begins (and does eventually end). 3) Diamond Dogs goes up against another Cipher-controlled organization, this one much more like a covert mafia or corrupt multinational corporation, using blackmail, bribes, graft, threats, even hiring private military contractors in war zones who officially work for actors in the regions, but ultimately answer to the organization's economic and power interests (kind of like the RDA and mercs in Avatar). 4) A new mutation of the parasite emerges after the Shining Lights incident, which produces even more zombie-like effects, and the Dogs get into conflict with a rogue PF army that is looking to take it and use it themselves. 5) Flashbacks to such things as Kaz's flashbacks set before the game, in places like Grenada and Northern Ireland. 6) More confrontations with Skull Face, including sneaking into on of his bases, in the process learning a lot mroe about his earlier self. 7) Small short non-missions showing how Diamond Dogs and its obsession with destroying XOF and Cipher is having adverse consequences on members, their lives, etc.
