Red Dead Redemption 2 Publisher Defends Single-Player Games

IGN: "Not only does he value single-player modes, but he thinks they can motivate players to try multiplayer modes."

-Foxtrot2768d ago

LOL...what a cheek

If you love it so much why the hell did you abandon the single player DLC for GTAV? You know after the epic GTAIV ones and the Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption? OH YEAH...GTA Online and the money it brought in while you milked Shark Cards.

JackBNimble2766d ago

I spent more money in GTA IV dlc then I did with all GTA V "free updates"
Ya, shark cards are absolutely not necessary and I personally have never needed to buy them ever.

@Foxtrot

😂..was gonna say the same thing.

I agree.

Can u believe these people? smh

Your "defending " Single Player" after abandoning Single Player with GTA V?

Not even "1" Single Player DLC for GTA V, but your "defending" single player?

The thinking is dead wrong, I'm a gaming hobbyist, & never once have I EVER been inspired to try a multiplayer game because I played a single player game.

Not once, ..& especially nowadays, when I know @ every turn The Interactive Entertainment Industry is "constantly" looking for opportunities to push Multiplayer, GAAS, DLC, Microtransactions, Loot Boxes, Always-Online, & Episodic Gaming @ the game consumer as the defacto, default, core aspect of gaming instead of single player games.

I don't even care much for mulitplayer, never have in all these years, I like single Player games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to face obstacle's that GTA V didn't.

Gamers are aware, expect this game to be like GTA V, with an online/mulitplayer focus, no matter what is said to the contrary by the Media or Rockstar/Take2.

I expect to see more Media spin articles, quotes, interviews from Rockstar/Take2 as damage control, attempts to ensure gamers they will have a complete single player experience with RD2.

Problem is this:

GTA V had a "complete" single player experience, but content produced for GTA V after release was ALL GEARED TOWARDS multiplayer/Online....& u made alot of $$$ due to your greed.

Even if you say your going to produce single player content(DLC) for RD2 after release, why should I believe u? or that it's going to be any good or worth what your going to charge for it?

Why should i trust that Rockstar is going to produce " high quality " single player DLC? moreso than the mulitplayer experience your inevitably going to produce for RD2?

You completely IGNORED your core single player fans with GTA V, completely.

Why should I trust you now?

I'm not going to, you ruined your reputation, & it's your fault Rockstar/Take2.

Despite the fact that Grand Theft Auto Online discouraged them from making their promised single player DLC for the game, or any other new games since 2013 for that matter.

XiNatsuDragnel2768d ago

I love the dude who basically gave only multiplayer DLC like SP Is a necessities

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty11h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan14h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher11h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty11h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies126h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
