How many players do you keep back to guard your own stockpile, and how many do you send forth to grab the enemy’s? If your team’s too aggressive, you won’t have enough players back to defend against the attack. By the same token, if you’re too passive, you’re not going to be making any headway any time soon. The team who’s stolen the most loot at the end of the match wins, after all, so you’re going to have to make that push somet

Why not jump on board and give it a shot? All this week, winning a game netted the player eight dynamite arrows, and Rockstar was running a 20% bonus XP event, too. If you missed out, stick around for the next rew

There are currently 600 titles that are backwards compatible with the Xbox One console from both the Xbox 360 and original Xbox, however the company announced that every single title released on the Xbox One platform will be backwards compatible on Scarlett.

For those who question if Rockstar Games are oblivious to the absence of this large portion of their community, all it takes is a simple glance at their social media pages to realize that they have been heavily promoting fan content made using GTA 5 's tools for years. Now, they are starting to share content created in Red Dead' s limited camera mode.

Once again this year, Double Fine's Tim Schafer has also been announced host the show. Additionally, former Naughty Dog director Amy Hennig is planned to be honored with GDC's Lifetime Achievement award for her past work and contributions to the indus

The company released a promotional video on Tuesday showcasing its intentions in regards to backwards compatibility on Scarlett and what it means for the future of the br

Your objective -- as you’ve probably guessed -- is to make your way to the opposing team’s base to nab some of their loot and add it to your own stockpile. It sounds simple enough; just the sort of thing Arthur Morgan and his buddies are used to out on the frontier. Lone wolf gunslinging will only carry you so far here, though, because… well, the other team’s also trying to do the same to

Spoils of War is a team-based mode for up to sixteen players (just two can play, but that’s far less dramatic). While wild west-style gunfights are always fun and dramatic, the action here is a little more cerebral than your average straightforward deathma

"Like we said on stage, we're going to bring four generations of content to Scarlett, including all the games on the Xbox One, we have the 360 and the original Xbox games, and not only do we want those to run, we want them to run and play better than you've ever seen them on Scarlett. All your accessories are compatible moving forward as well. If you go and buy an Elite Wireless Controller or Series Two Controller that will be forward compatible on the Scarle

Instead, Red Dead launched with no photo mode, director mode, or Rockstar Editor. The game's only option for in-game photography is with a limited in-game camera or by simply turning the HUD off.

"We’re known—let me be humble for a moment here—we are known for treating gamers with respect...And I actually would [like] for us to also be known for treating developers with respect." Iwiński stated. He went on to say that "We’ve been working toward it for some time already...but we want to be more humane and treat people with respect.
