"Although the offline portion of the game runs flawlessly with no severe bugs, the online portion of the game is essentially broken: NPCs such as people in towns, people riding horse & carriage along roads and enemies in gang hideout don't spawn leading to bugs including XP glitching; Other player's characters sometimes don't appear in the game and only on the minimap, and when they do appear in the game gun-fighting doesn't seem to negate health; Load times to connect to servers or respawning seem to be up to three times as slow." - GameTyrant.com
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.
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.
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.
Rockstar says the free upgrade issue affecting Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owners requires more time to resolve, with another update expected within five days.
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.
Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
A detailed comparison of Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 shows stronger settings, better performance, and a major uplift for Nintendo’s new hardware.
Okay, so one can deduce that to play online, it is best to use a real 360. If you just want to play offline then xb1 is fine. I only have this on my 360 and its great so hopefully they get the online functionality sorted out. Or maybe that was part of the deal for RDR to get on the BC list...? It's rockstar's game so they could have some strange clause in there.
edit: ahh... well that explains things. I only play the single player portion myself.
This has nothing to do with BC. Its an issue on rockstars end and the same thing happens if u play native on 360.
Are developers supporting the newfound online presence on BC games by releasing patches and fixes?
Played it last night on PS3 online there were around 15 people playing and not a single issue.
Edit : I guess 6 people disagree that I played it on Ps3??
I've heard that the 360 version is actually broken, which means that it is also broken on Xbox One since they're effectively the same.
