GamePro: Red Dead Redemption - Multiplayer Preview

Though Rockstar offered a fairly robust multiplayer offering for 2008's smash hit Grand Theft Auto IV, it was hard to deny that the experience paled in comparison to what the game offered in single-player. With their next open-world endeavor, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar is working to seamlessly blend the experience of exploring the wide-open vistas of RDR's expansive world in single player with the fun and excitement of jumping into any online game with friends to stir up a ruckus. We sat down recently with a few other journalists and some representatives from Rockstar to delve into the varied multiplayer modes in Red Dead Redemption...

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.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek8338d ago

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.

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator38d ago

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.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion72d ago

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.

Hypertension14071d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
