Red Dead Redemption: Bugs or Hilarious Genetic Experiments?

YouTube user WhereDaBootz has stumbled upon something truly amazing. As it turns out, in Red Dead Redemption, there are several instances in the game where players can stumble upon the most bizarre creatures, which assuredly were not part of the original Wild West.

Will no one else say it? Okay, I will.

Ahem.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha!

rockleex5840d ago

You had your time to shine, but I now bid you farewell.

Its not you, its me. I'm just more into CougarMen and DonkeyLadies!

SeanRL5840d ago

lol the donkey lady is awesome.

Davoh5840d ago

If it was intentional then the person who put them in the game should be given a medal.
There should also be a patch adding new trophies and achievements to hunt these miraculous creatures down.

Rucury5840d ago

Best idea ever. Call Rockstar. Do it.

SeanRL5840d ago

Oh hell ya, I wanna get a trophy for hunting down a Manbearpig.

Rucury5840d ago

That is just amazing...

Beginning my hunt for these creatures... NOW!

Timesplitter145840d ago (Edited 5840d ago )

The deer is certainly a bug.

But the cougar man and especially the donkey lady... I just don't see how this could happen. I know how games work. I'm working on one right now. And I can tell you that if it was a bug, the lady wouldn't be animated at all, or at least not in sync with the screams, and it would look really wierd because the horse would use a different bone disposition with different names. And she wouldn't have just her head as a donkey.

I may be wrong but those could be easter eggs. Hilarious easter eggs if you ask me

Millah5840d ago

Yea I was gonna say the same thing. If this was actually a bug, then the woman shouldn't have a "gallop" animation. Lol.

Myze5840d ago

Well, she didn't really have any special animations, just the animations of a running woman. Also, it's possible that a donkey is modeled so the face part on the woman is separate from the donkey's body (maybe for morph animations that differ from a horse, while the body animations are replicates of a horse's). This would make it so only part of the woman is a donkey.

The flying deer and cougar man are simply bugs of model swaps that shouldn't be there. The man looks weird because there are no bones in the man's rig for front legs, so it looks like he's "running" on his knees and his arms are doing nothing.

Honestly, if these were on purpose, do you believe they would look as out of place as they do? It would have been easy to give the man an animation of a man running around on his legs and hands. It would have been easy to give the deer a running animation while flying, but there isn't one, and has almost no movement because there are no wings on the model to animate. It would have been easy to get rid of the clipping and basic mounting position so that John looks like he's getting a piggy back ride instead of kind of floating inside of a donkey-woman.

Nevertheless, it's still funny to see, and the commentary made the videos better, unlike 90% of the time.

borisfett5840d ago

They're definitely bugs, but the donkey lady thing is rather ironic, as there actually a myth surrounding this concept.

There's an urban myth that originated from some American town of a ghost who was burned alive along with her childern by her husband in some town near a bridge...

The woman lived but her childern died. Her hands grew into hooves and her face burned into the shape of a donkey. Rumors have it if you travel at this bridge at night you will hear her wailing or crying.

This might be a glitch, but that's one hell of a coincidence. *laughs*

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

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?!’

Alek83125d 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.

darthv72127d ago

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

Lionsguard126d ago

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

TheColbertinator126d 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_drake126d 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

Petebloodyonion159d 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.

Hypertension140159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

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