Relax.. That isn't me in the video! lol

PirateThom5766d ago

Any idea of native resolution though?

PirateThom5765d ago

Is that confirmed?

I'm reading the Gaf thread and the thread on Beyond 3D, but they're both using the same, off screen, shots in comparison to the framebuffer captures on the 360 version...

I just want some sort of confirmation, if it's the same as GTA, I'd expect it, but I've also heard as low as 540p.

El_Colombiano5765d ago (Edited 5765d ago )

There is no way Rockstar would allow such a horrible resolution as 576p on the PS3. That would be pathetic.

Antan5765d ago

Still absolutely nothn confirmed yet.

Premonition5765d ago

at a quick glimpse of the box the number seems to be 720p, i doubt it would be 1080p

ape0075765d ago (Edited 5765d ago )

gta 4 on ps3 did have its issues BUT if you look at the latest R* game on ps3, the ballad of gay tony, you'll notice reduced blur and better framerate as far as im concerned, so even if RDR ps3 have sub hd res it won't look so blurry like gta 4 or have bad framer-rate\fuzziness, it will look like TBOGT ps3

MGRogue20175766d ago (Edited 5766d ago )

Still no idea about the resolution..

I'm hoping that the guy in the unboxing video is going to upload some gameplay footage but I very much doubt he will.. According to his YouTube channel.. All he does is unbox new ps3 releases :(

But you never know.. He may just release some footage :D

nveenio5765d ago

I'd love to see some PS3 footage. I got mine from Buy.com with 3-5 day shipping (saved me about $15), and I'm getting a little ansy.

LordMarius5765d ago

I love how R* always includes a poster

Crusade5765d ago

They didn't for GTA4. At least in the U.S.

TheIneffableBob5765d ago

There's a poster in my GTA4 box.

AliTheBrit195765d ago

Yeah mine has too

And yes, R* including a poster is Win

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.

fr0sty42d 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.

ActualWhiteMan42d ago

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

Christopher42d ago

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

fr0sty42d ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies1241d 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.

IanTH42d ago (Edited 42d 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.

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.

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?!’

Alek8343d 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.

darthv7245d ago

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

Lionsguard44d ago

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

TheColbertinator44d 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.

gold_drake44d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

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

Petebloodyonion77d 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.

Hypertension14077d ago (Edited 77d ago )

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