Red Dead Redemption Dev's New Game To Have "Dynamic Multiplayer" Gameplay

Rockstar San Diego are no doubt hard at work on their next hit, and not too soon either - it's been almost five years since they released the phenomenal Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Some new details on their next game have emerged via a new job listing on the company website, indicating that whatever they're up to will feature the two words that single-player enthusiasts despise: dynamic multiplayer.

This is amazingly freaking awesomely goodly awesome , I just seriously am excited to know Rockstar Games newest project , I seriously am , aren't they amazing , I don't care whatever system it's on but I'll buy it ._.

chrish19904146d ago

So I'm guessing you're a fan of their games, yeah?

memots4146d ago

I think this would be preferable if they do something more similar to Demon/dark Soul.

camel_toad4145d ago

My thoughts exactly. Thats what I get from their wording too. Im more of a single-player experience over mp but I loved how the Souls games implemented the MP with the SP. Id crap my pants with brown happiness if I was playing the next Red Dead with a bounty on my head having to constantly watch over my shoulder for human bounty hunters.

At Camel_Toad

Exactly, I don't want a deatmatch or capture the flag crap in there. You need to be playing the single player story with random event/other player that could interact, not a full fire fight ala Gta5 please.

Just small interaction like you said some kind of Bounty system/nemesis system or player trying to get to their bounty the fastest ect .. Just not PVP only please.

Why does this article have a PC tag?

I mean RDR is the ultimate console game consolers like to roll out when bragging about console exclusives so what's with the PC tag?

Unless..... rdr2 is coming to PC.

-Foxtrot4146d ago

I want it to be Red Dead but with the focus on multiplayer hopefully not. Did GTA Online teach them nothing...hell its even held the single player Dlc back

BiggerBoss4146d ago

But even the last RDR had a huge focus on multiplayer, not too different from GTA online itself.

But I do agree. Most people buy these games for the incredible single player experience, and thats what R* should really focus on delivering. Im fine with an extensive multiplayer mode, just as long as it doesnt detract too much from the SP. This is especially true for the Red Dead franchise, because I feel RDRedemption was one of the best sandbox games of all time.

-Foxtrot4146d ago

I didn't think it was a huge focus, it was basically what they had built up in GTA4 and put into Red Dead, it felt like a copy and paste job with small improvements...they didn't spend a huge lot of time to make it ground breaking and different. I mean why should they, nobody plays there games for the online. I'm waiting patiently still for some single player DLC but all I've heard is "Online this" and "Online that" since it's bloody launch...heists being a part of that.

With the money Rockstar titles make they should either do single player games AND THEN add an online mode later or do a new IP built up for multiplayer. Yeah Rockstar craft some nice games but regardless how well the developer works you'll always think "GOD, this is great but imagine how much greater it could actually be if they worked on X,Y,Z more".

GTA Online for example could of been done by a different studio and released the next year because lets face it with the small delay after GTAVs launch and the problems it then had it felt like we got the multiplayer side of GTA separately

DarkOcelet4146d ago

Its a shame that nowadays every game focus more on mp. I never bought a R* game for the mp and neither do i care about it. And i wish that all the resources could be poured on the sp and make it bigger and better.

98xpresent4146d ago

I want them to focus on sp & mp equally. Sort of like how kojima is doing with mgsV

Kane224146d ago

I miss the days when online wasn't the focus. not even in "single player" games. im happy for the options for people who loved them. but damn, not every freaking game needs it. i love playing alone and shouldn't be punished for it.

SUCKxITxEZ4145d ago

It's too bad they can't pull off both really well like MGS, but I guess there's only one kojima.

Solidus894146d ago

I wouldn't read too much into this. The post was for a network engineer, so naturally it's going to focus on online aspects.

gamey4146d ago

They nailed the single-player in RDR and the multiplayer was damn fun too. I trust their history on this. They are such top-notch developers it's hard to see them flopping out on either aspect of a new game.

XXXL4146d ago

If it's new Red Dead it better have a kickass SP experience. I'm sick and tired of these developers forcing this co-op bullshit down our throats.

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83123d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

darthv72125d ago

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard124d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator123d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

gold_drake123d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion157d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension140156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
