I thought they were gonna release the photomode for XBO, or did that already happen?

Ezio20482302d ago

It has happened just a few days ago.

Yi-Long2302d ago

Ah nice, time to head back into the wild ...

3-4-52302d ago

I wish they would just drop this and focus on GTA6.

MikeNike3102302d ago

Rockstars big enough to support both franchises

Artemidorus2301d ago

They started GTA VI just before GTA V let that sink in.

TimmyTesticles2302d ago

Wait, they added SINGLE PLAYER content? That's awesome.

sprinterboy2302d ago

Please learn to read articles.

Rebel_Scum2302d ago

New hats, boots and chaps is hardly something to get excited about.

zahdab2302d ago

you kidding !??!! i've been waiting for a new hat all my life !!!

SinisterKieran2301d ago

if he's on xbox, its not just that though. there is new story content.

neutralgamer19922302d ago

They should add some fun to this game. Add a acceptable gaming fast travel system, make the game more fun and less like a chore. Realistic animations are great but not at the cost of making the game a chore go play

And yes I do own the game and this is the only R* game in a long time I can't finish. And my opinion is in the minority but I know I am not the only one who feels the game could have been so much better. If there was a proper fast travel system the game would be 25hours long which is perfect instead of the 40 due to long long horse rides

AfricanWoolf2302d ago

Had to stop playing because as amazing as quality of the game is, I find that the game design just doesn't respect my time. Not in the way I want. To those that enjoy it: do it for the both of us.

neutralgamer19922302d ago (Edited 2302d ago )

Yes agreed it doesn't respect the gamers time or effort. There are minor things they could have done to help speed up the process but R* just want realism and ultra realistic animations in their games

Maybe it's just me but I feel like sometimes these AAA developers want to show their capabilities so they just want the best looking game even if it's not as fun and their games sell so well and media praises them so much that they don't feel the need to change

Allow fast travel system on any icon on the map

Allow us to play using the cheats and the ability to save our progress(yes enabling cheats should disable trophies but in RDR2 you can't save your progress if you have cheats on) while in past R* games they allowed you to save but you couldn't earn any trophies or achievements while cheats were enabled

It's like R* wants every game to play their game the way R* wants and in no other media is the consumer not allowed to enjoy how they want

Like if you want to listen to one song but you have to listen to the whole album or if you are watching a TV show and you must watch all the episodes before you can watch the one you want to watch

I know not perfect examples but you get the point

ServerBOT2302d ago

I wish they would of at least added auto route follow when riding your horse also like far cry series instead of only carriage service or at least add follow road option like the witcher 3 when sprinting.

PCgamer982301d ago

If you meant the horse can autotravel to a point in the map you can actually do that in rdr 2.

Rebel_Scum2302d ago

Brother, I hear ya. Since I have a couple of kids I dont get much time to play games. Time is precious. However I can understand the design decisions to make this game that type of game where in that time and place there was no real hurry.

Not every game has to have these modern luxuries of fast travel from anywhere. There are systems in the game that make sense for the player to find things along the way as they traverse.

jonivtec2301d ago

I admit fast travel is innevitable in game of this scope...how many hours i lost horsing point A to B again and again.....many to much filling hours in my 60 hours playtrought.Still a masterpiece visualy and animation wise.Really annoying "error gfx state " to.....lot of crash to desktop issues.

Angeldolllogic2301d ago

Exactly! This game was marketed as a 65 hour game. Thing is, it's not a 65 hour game. It's a 25 hour game plus 5 hours of skinning cutscenes, 5 hours of slow ass looting, 5 hours of taking a bath & eating, 10 hours of looking for your horse, brushing your horse, feeding your horse, and 15 hours of reslotting your weapons because they dissapear everytime you get off your horse! I can't tell you how many times I had my weapon loadout only to unexpectedly be engaged in a shootout. I jump off my horse, my load out disappears, my horse freaks & bolts, and I'm stuck in a shootout with a Cattleman Revolver. Brilliant.

Now I get the whole immersion factor, but you tell me what outlaw is going to loot a house in slow motion? Just strooollliiinnnggg along...room by room... Would've been better to a have 5 second ransacking cutscene which would loot the entire house.

The story was good. The graphics were good. (Should've had moving hair, but hey, it is what is), but to market a 25 hour game as a 65 hour game just ain't right. Everything they did (which some things were downright petty) was to slow you down to meet that 65 hour mark. Why? Because a 65 hour game costs more than a 25 hour game. More money for Rockstar at their customer's expense (& time). Bravo, Rockstar. Bravo.

neutralgamer19922301d ago

Lately R* decisions have been anti consumers. We have yet to receive any single player dlc content

Did they honestly patch it? I played it like a month ago and it still looked awful on my PS4 pro, blurry compared to other platfroms.

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

jznrpg186d ago

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

SethNW185d 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.

ZeekQuattro185d 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.

jznrpg186d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya180d ago (Edited 180d 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.

victorMaje186d 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_P185d 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.

RedDevils185d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake185d 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.

neutralgamer1992190d 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

YodaCracker190d ago

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

Storm23189d 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.
