Seems like they really put a big focus on singleplayer this time around if the online will only be in beta when it comes out in November, this is looking more and more promising.

MellauxGMNG2791d ago

Orr theyre gonna go the fortnite route and keep it in beta so they can update it regularly.

rdgneoz32790d ago

Warframe has been in like perpetual beta, and many free to play games do the same. With constant updates (which cause bugs), it's easier than having someone complain about releasing a buggy product when the tag says beta.

staticall2790d ago

Wait, didn't they release GTA V online after release of the singleplayer? Like almost a month or two later? It didn't help with additional singleplayer content.

BiggerBoss2790d ago

To be fair though, GTA 5 had tons of Singleplayer content to start with.

thorstein2790d ago

That's exactly what they did.

And I remember people complaining about the Online which is actually free considering that the game was announced without it and launched without it. (Note: After announcement of GTAV, the Online portion was announced. Since I (and many people) already preordered it (because Rockstar) online was a freebie.)

Moe-Gunz2790d ago

Or they're releasing the single player and after reviews are done they'll slide out the MP with microtransactions riddled in it.

ChickenMan342790d ago

they literally did the same exact thing for gta 5 this is nothing new for rockstar its the same exact thing they did for gta

porkChop2790d ago

They did this with GTA V. They release them separate and brand them as different games so the online doesn't affect the reviews.

ocelot072790d ago

GTA Online launched as a beta like a month after the game released I think. We all know how that turned out. No single player DLC but tons of MT crap for the online mode.

Release more details about the single player aspect of the game. Where is trailer 2?

EmperorDalek2790d ago

Why? RDR had great multiplayer.

smolinsk2790d ago

Agreed, red dead redemption 1 had a much better multiplayer then gta 5, much more relaxed, cozy and fun

KyRo2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

The first RDR online was great for a short while as much as found the world bland (which is understandable being the time period it's set in) but I loved GTA4s multiplayer which was very much like RDRs.

After the way GTAO was handled I'm very sceptical. I missed the simplicity of the old Rockstar Multiplayer games. Free roam then TDM, CTB etc. It was just streamlined. No MTs, no P2W just work your rank up. And don't forget the absolute terrible load times on GTAO. Find a game, loading, enter lobby waiting to fill, fills lobby, loading, place bets, waits for people to place bets, loads game.... its just way to much much time to get anything done online IMO

ziggurcat2790d ago

Yes, but if they turned it into GTA, then "had great multiplayer" would be the operative term.

Concertoine2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

Red dead was one of my favorite online games. I prestiged all 4 times (legitimately unlike most) and got a bunch of gold guns. Could outgun any high power pistol with my schofield! Always rode the albino buffalo which wasnt the best mount but it was my favorite. Anyone that played it knows both versions got hacked beyond repair :/ i would probably still be playing it some if it hadnt.

The simple, level based progression im sure will be replaced by microtransaction fueled crap. But i’ll hold out hope ♥️...

suddenly this games looks interesting. i mean, minus the still ultraboring setting.

Stalmaster2790d ago

What are you talking about? If you're not interesting in the setting, just play GTA Online.

yoshatabi2790d ago

That's funny. I find this setting more interesting. I find the GTA type settings boring. Because we live in those settings! Really nothing new you see. But none of us live during RDR 2 times

RememberThe3572790d ago

WTF
I bet you listen to mumble rap and think 2pac is boring.

remixx1162790d ago

TAWK TO THIS NINJA!!!!!

OG_TK_Cole2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

you beat me to it... Haaha!! These young cats be having me dying.

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg185d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW184d ago

I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.

ZeekQuattro184d ago

Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.

jznrpg185d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya179d ago (Edited 179d ago )

Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.

victorMaje185d ago

I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.

FIELDMARSHALL_P184d ago

My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.

RedDevils184d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake184d ago

damn, thats a ridiculous number

Dan Houser: RDR2 was "behind schedule" and "over budget so much I didn’t want to think about it"

Dan Houser opens up about Red Dead Redemption 2’s rocky development, calling it behind schedule, massively over budget, and full of pressure to prove doubters wrong.

The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.

The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.

neutralgamer1992189d ago

Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.

It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism

YodaCracker189d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23188d ago

I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.

I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.
