Sweet feature on current gen to get progressive snowfall. There's a reason I stick with 4WD cars...

Sticky bombs for the win in any heist.

The progressive snowfall is timed only. It'll only be aroud from the 24th to the 26th

Makes me reminisce on last Christmas when we played in the snow, got dressed up in Elf/Santa/Reindeer costumes, called a stripper over and then had a big orgy in the shower.

And then we played some GTA Online.

We have compiled a feature list for the 'Heist DLC' due on December 23rd 2014. These features, items and functions have been analysed and confirmed via Developer-versions of the relevant content and the code associated with it. Here is a list of our compiled notes:

• Heist (Planning Board) layout update for both High-End apartment interiors. This will be available across all platforms.

• Brand new 'Heist' selection menu featuring it's own Social Club-based leaderboard and misc options showing the list of un-completed Heist missions). This will be available across all platforms.

• 34 Texture Modifications to 4 different locations, this is in favour of added effect during Heist missions. This will be available across all platforms but the texture detail is improved on current-generation.

• 6 Heist missions in 4 unique locations.

• 5 Cops and Crooks missions in 4 unique locations.

• Improved anti-cheat methods. Some code for this is included in the DLC, but is not associated with the Heist feature itself.

• Three brand new vehicles. The names of these vehicles are still identified by their Dev tag and are not yet finalized but the approximate vehicle class is; Sports Classic and Sports.

• Brand new Apartment - CCTV function with two AI-characters in your apartment running them. This feature is available for current-generation only.

• Three Heist-themed clothing items - these items are still identified by their Dev tag but are the following types; Special Outfit (available from the counter).

• Two Cops and Crooks-themed masks. These mask items are available in current-generation only.

• BZ Gas will now be purchasable from Ammu-Nation but can only be used in Heist missions - you are responsible for stocking-up on these and if you run out, your team mates will need to complete that objective for you.

• 5 new hairstyles - these are still identified by their Dev tag.

• 2 new contact lenses - these are still identified by their Dev tag.

• Additional matchmaking for Heist missions between Crews - this is a feature implemented in 1.17 but will be activated in 1.19/1.05.

• A new phone contact named 'Jeff' will be available, offering a chance to resurrect a killed-off Crew member during your Heist operation. The voice of this contact or any other options associated are still unknown at this point.

• Last-generation players will have the option to 'Email' other Crew members about your planned Heist mission, whoever emails you a Heist plan will be the leader of the operation.

• Current-generation players will have the option to 'Email' other Crew members about your planned Heist mission and have the ability to print those out in your Apartment and store in your documents, whoever emails you a Heist plan will be the leader of the operation.

• All players will have the ability to use their Heist planning board in order to select a location, chosen online-Crew members and their role and the length of time before the Heist request expires from their 'Email' app on their phone.

• 4 new audio files, relating to the Heist missions. These are identified as an alarm bell, the sound of a vault opening, sirens and a background track.

I appear to have encountered a glitch in the Monkey Business mission (the one where you use a stun gun). For some reason I can't pull up my weapon wheel once I need to switch to a real gun. Have tried the mission several times and the same thing keeps happening. Michael was fully equipped before starting the mission, and I even picked up weapons from guards to boot. Ugh.

This is pretty good

The Festive Holiday update is now live. Included in the update is a ton of (FREE) Christmas themed clothing, ability to buy a 3rd property, a homing missile launcher, proximity mines and 4 new vehicles. The Vapid Slamvan, the Bravado Rat-Truck (Non-beater version of the Rat-Rod), and racing livery versions of the Jester and Massacaro. It also adds a Christmas tree to your apartment

Proxy mines?!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Proximity mines, you say...

[Cymbols]

Some of the new songs on next gen are quality. Nonstop pop especially.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I am quite fond of Non-Stop Pop.

[9 to 5]

Non-Stop Pop is my go-to station.

[King Ellis]

Proxy mines? As if going into a store wasn't dangerous enough.

"That's odd, there weren't five flashing things in front of the door when I came in..."

[munky]

Only on PS4 so far, we peasants on 360 are SOL.

[thatshortguy]

I'm assuming a 3rd property also means a 3rd garage. I may be able to grab ALL the cabrios now!

New Content

• Three new settings added:

  • First Person Aim / Look Acceleration – This controls how quickly speed is increased until the player reaches maximum turn speed; the lower the setting, the longer it takes for the player’s turn speed to reach maximum.
  • First Person Auto Level Camera on/off setting – This gives the player complete control over where they’re looking at all times. With the option on, if a player is looking down and moving forward then the camera will pan up so that the player can see in front of them. With the option off, then the player would remain looking at the ground when moving forward.

Thanks to the inane hacking of PSN & XBL, Rockstar will extend the seasonal gifts for an unstated amount of time. I've yet to have a crack at GTA Online during the holidays, so hopefully I can sneak on there and get the penguin masl.
