The Eras of GTA Online
Yes I'm bored, yes I'm mildly autistic, no I'm not unemployed, this is probably a very pointless thread but whatever I've always wanted to make this. In my head Rockstar has gone through multiple phases with Online in terms of the type of content we've seen throughout the years. The Xbox 360/PS3 era (2013-2014) Most of the updates were small but frequent, with a batch of vehicles, weapons, and clothes that would be dropped into the Online world as well as the single player. Updates in order: Beach Bum - Nov 19, 2013 Deathmatch & Race Creators - Dec 11, 2013 Capture - Dec 18, 2013 Holiday Gifts - Jan 5, 2014 Valentine’s Day Massacre Special - Feb 13, 2014 Business - Mar 4, 2014 High Life - May 13, 2014 I’m Not a Hipster - June 17, 2014 Independence Day - July 1, 2014 Flight School - Aug 19. 2014 Last Team Standing - Oct 2, 2014 Festive Surprise - Dec 18, 2014 The Heists Era (2015-2016) After the heist update we got some content updates that focused on getting us to blow all of our hard-earned money on pointless things.They also fleshed out the Online world and gameplay with the addition of freemode events, Benny’s Garage, yachts, and the ability to become VIP/CEOs to form organizations (this was like a precursor to the next era). Updates in order: Heists - Mar 10, 2014 Ill Gotten Gains pt 1 - Jun 10, 2015 Ill Gotten Gains pt 2 - Jul 8, 2015 Freemode Events - Sep 15, 2015 Lowriders - Oct 20, 2015 Halloween - Oct 29, 2015 Executives and Other Criminals - Dec 15, 2015 Festive Surprise - Dec 21, 2015 Drop Zone - Jan 28, 2016 Be My Valentine - Feb 10, 2016 Lowriders: Custom Classics - Mar 15, 2015 The Business Era (2016-2018) The updates introduced businesses that we had to put hours of gameplay into to make some real cash. Some of them were cool like the import/export and hangar business, but they got boring pretty quickly when you realized how much grinding was involved. Still, it gave players more variety in ways to become rich besides spamming heists and contact missions. We got some new mk II weapons along with new radio stations too. This era would’ve been good had they not ruined it with all the flying attack vehicles and toxic crap they decided to put in almost every update. Updates in order: Further Adventures In Finance and Felony - Jun 7, 2016 Cunning Stunts - July 12, 2016 Bikers - Oct 4, 2016 Import/Export - Dec 13, 2016 Special Vehicle Circuit - Mar 14, 2017 Gunrunning - Jun 13, 2017 Smuggler’s Run - Aug 29, 2017 Doomsday Heist - Dec 12, 2017 SSS Super Sport Series - Mar 20, 2018 After Hours - Jul 24, 2018 The Music Era (2018-2021) While the updates became less frequent (usually summer and winter), they were bigger and more content-packed. Lots of music related content like nightclubs, music studios, rappers you do missions with, radio stations, and so on were added in this era. Lots of passive income businesses and public hub spaces for players to chill in instead of things like the Oppressor MK V. To end the era off we got to see and play with Franklin and Lamar and the Cayo Perico Heist was insanely profitable and quicker to grind before the nerfs Updates in order: After Hours - Jul 24, 2018 Arena War - Dec 11, 2018 Diamond Casino & Resort - Jul 23. 2019 Diamond Casino Heist - Dec 12, 2019 LS Summer Special - Aug 11, 2020 Cayo Perico Heist - Dec 15, 2020 LS Tuners - Jul 20, 2021 The Contract - Dec 15, 2021 The Pre-GTA VI Era (2022-2026) Updates in this era have focused heavily on QoL improvements, passive income businesses, and some pretty forgettable contact missions (jk, I like some of them :P). Rockstar also took heavy inspiration from FiveM and added some of your real life jobs to Online like pizza delivery and Forklift Driving. Miniature scaled heist have become a thing too, (which I”m betting it’s gonna be a common thing in GTA VI Online) Updates in order: The Criminal Enterprise - Jul 26, 2022 LS Drug Wars - Dec 13, 2022 SA Merceniaries - Jun 13, 2023 The Chop Shop - Dec 12, 2023 Bottom Dollar Bounty - Jun 25, 2024 Agents of Sabotage - Dec 10, 2024 Money Fronts - Jun 17, 2025 A Safehouse In The Hills - Dec 20, 2025 ?????? - Jun 2026

Why Leonida is Way Bigger Than We Think (No Tech-Talk, Just Vibes)
Hey everyone. I’ve been staring at the GTA VI Mapping Project updates, and while the math is heavy, the actual "feel" of these frames is insane. I wanted to break down what this means for us the players without the cartography degree. The "Scale" Reality Check: The mapping project confirms that the Vice City International Airport (VCIA) runways are nearly 50% longer than Los Santos. We aren't just flying across a tiny island; we're flying across a massive state. The "Hidden City" Theory: With confirmed locations like "Key Lento" (Leonida Keys) and speculative peaks like Mount Kalaga in the north, Rockstar is giving us the entire Southeast experience from sweaty neon beaches to Appalachian-style mountains. The "Empty" Southeast Mystery: The "0,0" coordinate is near the Port. This leaves a massive void in the ocean to the southeast. I feel Rockstar isn't leaving that empty. Whether it’s a "Guarma" style island, a reimagined Cuba, or just deep-sea exploration, that empty space is a giant "Coming Soon" sign for me. Vertical Height: It serves as the highest point in Leonida, featuring a broadcast mast based on the real world WTVY TV Tower, the actual highest point in Florida. The Atlantis Condo: A glittering skyscraper with a hole in it is a direct digital replica of Miami's Atlantis Condominium, which was also a key building in the original 2002 Vice City. Also, has anyone else noticed the Direct to Rockstar logistics? I've seen some Bilgeco and Jetsam containers in the background frames, the same companies from LS. It’s small, but it makes the world feel like a real, connected place. Credits: Huge shoutout to the Mapping Project team (DuPz0r, Jaxrud, etc.) for the raw data I used for this analysis.

Mission Creator bugs thread
Starting this as a place to document the issues I have found in making and playing missions, and that I am sure are bugs. The goal being that 1) anyone else using the tool can avoid or workaround them, and 2) if we find out something has been patched, I can update the post on it accordingly. Everything listed here is something I have reproduced in controlled test missions on PS5 and can duplicate on demand. -- Bug: Only Team 1 can activate mission flag zones Behavior: Any mission flag zone, regardless of which teams it is set to be active for, cannot be triggered by any player who isn't on Team 1. You can duplicate this in test mode in creator using the interaction menu to view the active mission flags while a Team 2 player goes in and out of the zone. If a zone is set to only be active for Team 2, it is impossible for it to be activated. Workaround: Other kinds of mission flag triggers for Team 2 (e.g. killing an actor, destroying an object/vehicle, starting an objective with a flag set on it, etc.) all appear to work, so rely on them instead. Or try to avoid using flags for team 2 and instead use alternative triggers, like objectives starting. -- Bug: Respawn points may break when on an objective with bounds set to "Play Area" Behavior: Normally, if you have one or more respawn points active throughout the mission or on the current objective, and a player dies, he should respawn on one of those points. If the active objective has Bounds turned on, set to Play Area, with at least one zone specified, the game may or may not respawn you where it's supposed to. The behavior is unpredictable but it definitely does not spawn you on the active respawn points every time. With Bounds turned off or set to Exclude Area, it seems to work as intended. Workaround: Avoid bounds, or only use Exclude Area, on objectives with forced respawns. -- Bug/Design Issue: Failure for a team in a multi-team mission may cause mission to pass and end Behavior: In a mission with 2 or more teams, events that cause one specific team to fail may cause other teams to "pass," and the mission ends without giving an option to restart. I am not sure this is actually a bug, but rather a non-obvious design choice that has to be properly handled to get a cooperative, multi-team mission to work as expected. Examples: an actor is critical for only one team or is used on one team's objective, then dies; a vehicle or objective object set up similarly is destroyed; etc. Workaround: If possible, set critical actors/vehicles/objects to critical = Yes for all teams. That way, if the entity is destroyed, all teams fail and a restart option will be given.

[GTA VI] Manual Tourist Book for Leonida and Gloriana ?
Hi everyone Some of you might remember me from a GTA map project I shared here a few years ago. After some time away, I wanted to come back with a new concept, this time centered around GTA VI. ( I've working on a “Tourist Guide” booklet concept, inspired by the classic manuals and paper inserts that came with GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas. Before going further: this project It’s a creative tribute made by a fan, for the community. The concept The booklet is designed as a fictional magazine / tourist guide, meant to feel like something you’d find at an airport, a rental car desk or a slightly sketchy motel within the GTA universe. It’s based only on officially known or revealed elements about GTA VI, combined with speculation that’s intentionally presented in a classic Rockstar-style satirical tone. What’s inside A tourist-style introduction to the city and surrounding areas In-universe humor and social satire Fake advertisements for in-game brands, respecting the visual codes of classic GTA manuals Layout, typography and pacing inspired by early-2000s Rockstar booklets A strong nostalgic focus on the era when manuals helped build immersion before even launching the game Why this project With physical manuals now gone, I really miss how they helped establish atmosphere and expand the world beyond the screen. This project is my way of paying homage to that era, while imagining how GTA VI could have been presented if those traditions still existed. Note: Some texts in the “WHERE SHOP” category are still in progress and not finalized. Preview & Interactive : PDF Interactif : https://heyzine.com/flip-book/b77abfacdb.html ScreenShot : This remains a concept only, created with respect for Rockstar Games and the GTA community. I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or suggestions. Thanks for reading — and long live the classic GTA manuals ------- Side note: This project is self-funded. I’m using an official AlloAParadise.fr promotion, which lets you get games and digital codes at discounted prices. If you want to support the project, feel free to use the promo code RDESIGN5 — totally optional.

Why the Wiki is WRONG. It was Pete on the docks, not Vic (fixing issues I've had with VCS' "official" story.)
I’ve been thinking about the story of Victor Vance in Vice City Stories and the "official" answer that Vic dies in the Vice City intro is just lazy. If you actually look at the writing in Vice City Stories, it’s incredibly obvious that the "Supplier" who gets gunned down is actually Pete Vance. Hear me out before you hit me with the "the wiki says so" replies. The "Supplier" is Pete Vance. In the 1986 intro, the "Supplier" (credited only as such) is overweight, moves with a labored limp, and lacks any military instincts. Victor was a disciplined elite soldier. Why would VCS go out of its way to mention a third brother, Pete Vance, who suffers from chronic illness and asthma, if not to explain the "Supplier's" physical weakness? The 1984–1986 Timeline The "Official" version ruins Victor’s character. Making it Pete makes it a masterpiece: 1984 (End of VCS) - Vic is at his peak. He has millions of dollars and explicitly doubles down on leaving the crime life forever. He succeeded, and he has the money to retire and save his family. 1984-1985 - Vic retires to a quiet life, finally paying for the medical treatments that get Pete out of his hospital bed. 1986 - Lance, having blown his own fortune, wants back in. He manipulates a newly-healthy (but naive) Pete into doing a "simple" deal. The irony is that the very health Vic fought so hard to give Pete is what allowed Pete to be killed. Why This Makes Lance a Better Villain If Vic died on the docks, Lance is just a sad brother. But if Pete died on the docks, Lance is a parasite who got his "innocent," sickly brother killed because he couldn't play kingpin alone. His betrayal of Tommy Vercetti is part of a pattern, he ruins everyone he touches. Vic stays laying low, grieving the brothers he couldn't save from themselves, remaining the only protagonist to truly "escape" the cycle. Off-Topic but still VCS and the Vance family (and another issue I had) - their mother (Janet) The Vance brothers' mother, Janet, appears to be white in VCS while her sons are dark-skinned. My theory is that Janet isn't actually "white" but she's African-American and has Vitiligo. If she was actually white/Caucasian, Vic and Lance would be mixed and look light-skinned. Her extreme paleness isn't her ethnicity, it’s a mix of Vitiligo (the illness Michael Jackson famously had, so this can also be a reference to 80s pop culture), and heavy drug use making her even more pale and ghostly.
