There's trouble in the Old West as Rockstar games' big update for Red 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

In Grand Theft Auto games (especially those made up to that point) you can keep playing after the end, and killing John conflicted with that. There was the possibility of not killing John at all, but Cantamessa didn't think it would work. The story needed to go somewhere, and John's death was where it needed to

On the other hand, Cantamessa did not initially realize that everything that John was doing that had a line that for instance said "Hey John," also needed to have a "Hey Jack" version, and this applied for all the open world activities and minigames like Poker. It required everything that John could do to be re-recorded as Jack, while all the dynamic cutscenes that involved minigames and similar activities had to be motion captured once more. This added "a ton of work" close to the end of product

Red Dead Redemption II is one of those hype games, but with trailers like this and Rockstar’s history, it’s obvious why. As more information comes out, it will become clear exactly what RDRII has learned with ideas new and old. The fact that it already brings up feelings of getting lost in a rich open world are almost enough. Now if we could just play the dang thing.

A RDR2 remaster would also follow Rockstar's pattern of releasing next-gen ports and upgrades for their blockbuster titles, such as GTA and the original Red Dead Redemption . The unexpected update could very well hint at **an upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster ** for consoles and PC, but players will have to be patient for the official announcement from Rocks

The push to microtransactions could have something to do with recent reports that Red Dead Online is hemorrhaging money month after month. Whether it's the period setting with lack of exciting weaponry and vehicles or extended wait between updates that's putting gamers off, there's something clearly wrong with Red Dead Online . Another huge problem is the wait fans have experienced to even get to this update. Even in beta, three months is a long time to wait for fixes. Sadly, it could be a case of too little, too late for **Red Dead Online

Not in a bad way though. Take the gameplay and strategy of Grand Theft Auto and add the expansive land of the old west and you've got yourself Red Dead Redemption. In this game you play the role of John Marston, a former outlaw hunting down his old gang in order to be granted amnesty. Because it's set an entirely different century from Grand Theft Auto, this game was modified to compensate for the lack of modern technology. Law enforcement has no way of pursuing you unless a crime was witnessed by someone. The scenery and sound are all deemed high quality and a natural fit to the gameplay. There's even a zombie expansion, which of course isn't natural, but still flows with this game. Red Dead Redemption has been given near perfect scores and sold over 13 million copies worldwide. It also won several Game of the Year awards from numerous publications.

Red Dead Redemption 2 hunting guide|Https://reddeadstation.com/ 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.

The Rockstar Steam update for Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 3 included changes to the game description, removing references to " Red Dead Online" from the thumbnail image, adjusting assets and timestamps, and adding support for new langua

Welcome to This Week in Gaming, where we take a look back at some of the most newsworthy events in gaming history from last year to even decades ago that happened this very week. Take a gander at some of the highlights and see which spark nostalgia and which may still be news to you.

I 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.
