Red Dead Redemption Online Multiplayer Launch November Public Beta

Red Dead Redemption Online Multiplayer Launch November Public Beta

rdr2-legendary-fishing-quest-location.jpgI will immediately state that I'm not pointing a finger at Rockstar saying they copied another game. In this industry, like any art, learning from others goes a long way. Rockstar has always been able to craft exceptional games -- just look at the most recent years of success with GTAV Online or any of the GTAs. What has Rockstar learned? From the looks of it, that it’s possible to create epic playscapes representative of our real world that will be fun to play in without fantasy or sci-fi. It has gotten a bit tedious that every game that’s willing to put out these massive sandboxes restricts it to stories of fiction, except Rockstar of course. Covering a bit more ground, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed is also helping fill this much-needed role for games.

Yesterday, Rockstar announced that the online multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2 will be playable as a public beta sometime in November; roughly a month after the single-player game relea

"Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we’ve created, but we felt the experience would not be complete without co-op game play," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "With these missions, we wanted to create new ways for players to share in the experience of engaging with this amazing landsca

Today Rockstar and Sony Interactive Entertainment showcased the content for Red Dead Online -- the online portion of Red Dead Redemption 2 -- that PS4 owners will be able to enjoy for thirty days before their Xbox One brethren get their hands on it as well.

There's trouble in the Old West as Rockstar games' big update for Red Dead Redemption 2 Treasure Maps|Https://Reddeadstation.Com/ Dead Online _ has players running for the hills. Hoping to cash in on the hype surrounding _Grand Theft Auto Online , the formula hasn't worked quite so well in the dusty plains of the American des

As if this already sweet piece of video game pie couldn't possibly get any better, Rockstar turns around and announces its first DLC. Usually, announcements like these piss me off to the core, especially when publishers are trying to hit gamers up for more bread right after they spent 60 bucks on the title alone. However, Rockstar is about to hook us all up with Co-op goodness available for download on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in June at the same time for the price of free. "Outlaws to the End" is the name of the expansion and it allows for 2-4 players to join up online and take on 6 additional missions in the game. Check out some descriptions as well as new screens from some of the missions be

The developers of Red Dead Redemption have challenged all shooters out there to some online multiplayer! Play the game with the developers from May 18th to June 1st for a chance to kill a RockStar and earn the in-game trophy /achievement called "Red Dead RockStar" that will go viral, much like the "Let Sleeping RockStars Lie" Achievement/Trophy in Grand Theft Auto IV . Gamers will even be entered into a contest to have their likeness featured in the game as a playable character via downloadable content if they earn the trophy and sign up for RockStar's Social Club . Continue on for the PSN and Xbox Live gamer tags to be look out

If you were around to experience the slew of issues that plagued Grand Theft Auto Online went it live, you may be a bit skeptical towards the launch of Red Dead Online . However, while at-launch issues are to be expected, it appears that Rockstar has learned from their previous online games and are looking to make the launch of Red Dead Online as smooth and successful as possi

Rockstar has attempted (and succeeded) to stop griefing players to a degree. Non-griefing players will now be invisible to anyone more than 150 meters away, while griefers will be more visible on the map by having a bounty put on their head. However, even this has its critics as others point out the addition of bounties for relatively minor incide

Featuring a wool-lined, long coat with custom, hand-tooled leather accents, a leather vest with ornate pattern details, stand wing-tip collar with black neckerchief, and custom ornate buckle with matching boot tips, the Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit pays homage to the "boss" of the Northern States, its real-world inspiration.

Red Dead Redemption II’s landscapes seem representative of the feelings pulled up from a game like The Witcher 3 by how one plays in them. The Witcher 3 presented a blend of main storyline with endless possibilities of getting sidetracked in an open world out of curiosity. The opening shot during the credits followed up by the mountain side view says it all. As Breath of the Wild did when it showcased its open world, RDRII is showing these places to say ‘go there!’ Don’t worry RDRII, we will. When people think of the West/Frontier, it’s usually the setting of the first Red Dead Redemption. RDRII is presenting a landscape that will be exciting to explore. North America has a landscape that is gorgeous giving to views that are cause to stop and soak it in. It'll be refreshing to visit something familiar even if alien to the present timeline. Anyone who has hiked into North American wilderness will know this feeling immediately.
