Red Dead Redemption 2 Getting Launch Day Patch, Video Embargo Revealed

Red Dead Redemption 2 is only a couple of days away and it has been confirmed there will be a day one patch and also, video streaming embargos will vary based on location.

Avernus2759d ago

Why can't they release the patch before launch? I mean the game's pre-loaded already. That means it can't receive updates till it's activated?

michaelknight352759d ago

I agree they should release the day1 patch a day before launch for people who brought it digital

playnice2758d ago

I don't buy digital but I approve that message lol

Baza2759d ago

That’s why it’s called Day 1 patch.

RememberThe3572758d ago (Edited 2758d ago )

It'd be cool if it was preloaded too so that the moment the game is available the patch is installed and the game is ready to go.

JackBNimble2758d ago

From what I understand it's a 3gb patch

Sokol2758d ago

That's quite a significant patch size. I will probably wait few weeks before purchasing the game.

Games of this size always end up with some problems requiring numerous important patches..

playnice2758d ago

@Sokol I understand your point but I have to say this is not a Bethesda or Ubisoft game with loads of immersion breaking glitches at release... you're missing out on the early fun!

BrettAwesome2758d ago

3gb? That's nothing. Some games download updates way beyond 20+ gb

subtenko2758d ago

dang, ima just hardwire the ps4 for this

Just hope it's not one of those games you have to actually start up to download and install even more shit. Those piss me off the most.

MajorLazer2758d ago

I'm not too fussed. Just means extra polish and fixes. For those with crap connections & speed I feel for you don't get me wrong but this will (I presume) make the game better, even if it's subtle, though 3GB suggests otherwise :D

ps5fanboy2758d ago

ok if you got a megabit a second download speed , if 50 gig , talking few hours here , be sleeping on it playing when i wake up n bake up :)

subtenko2758d ago

well, we still dont have to wait to install the full thing right? not like we gotta redownload 90gigs

Just hope it's a relatively small Day 1 patch.

Plagasx2758d ago

Can't wait to test out those horse nuts physics!

oof462758d ago

Yay! I finally finished preloading RDR2! (Reads about Day 1 patch) ....well, shit.

King_Noctis2758d ago

From the article it states the day one patch is not required to start the game.

oof462756d ago

That would only work for physical copies. Anyways, moot point by now.

King_Noctis2756d ago

I download the digital version and I didn’t even see any update pop up when I start the game.

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

jznrpg187d ago

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

SethNW187d 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.

ZeekQuattro187d 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.

jznrpg187d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya181d ago (Edited 181d 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.

victorMaje187d 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_P186d 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.

RedDevils187d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake187d ago

damn, thats a ridiculous number

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.

neutralgamer1992191d 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

YodaCracker191d ago

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

Storm23190d 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.
