Rockstar Games announces Red Dead Online

Dubbicakes · Sep 19, 2018

I'm curious how they're going to monetize RDR Online like they have GTA Online, horses aren't really comparable to cars/boats/planes as money sinks.

Now we finally get the truth for all the bullshit delays... Online bullshit.

Ugh, more betas...

Also, everyone is forgetting the most important question... will rdr2 come to SWITCH???????¿

when i was on RDR1 for the 1st time, just exited from a pub after a very ''sober'' fists fight, a random dude run across on horse then shot me to death....-_-

then later got fixed met another random guy and got shot to death again....that was the last time i played RDR online

That's effectively the entirety of RDR's online tbf. I used to spawncamp the shit out of people till they rage quit. Good times. Probably the only entertaining thing to do in that entire game.

It's GTA Online all over again.

Hopefully they still focus on story dlc in the main game.That was the main problem with gta online,rockstar got greedy and just focused on multiplayer instead since thats where the money is at.The main game might be alright,but it will feel empty without any dlc,either that or they better make it a complete game if they don't plan on any story dlc.

i've been a fan of rockstar for years i loved gta, rdr and midnight club...
They really develop high quality games.. but the online aspect of gta online left a scar on me..
I honestly don't know how to feel about that as a company they're probably swimming in gta online cash right now..
And i'm here kinda sad that we never got a story dlc like gta 4 got.. Man gta 5 offline was a masterpiece

Off for them to make another bucket of money.

Nope

This is exciting. The trailer itself for the game is giving good promises; so I had to pre-order it. But I hope interest doesn't die for it though like how GTA Online is nowadays

tinbs · Sep 20, 2018

cashing in even more on their work on gta 5. can't say i blame them tho. that shit printed money

Gonna be people buying luxury sport horses and matching horse armor.

Just bought a PS4 for RDR2, it better be worth it

As for RDOnline: I'm not sure I get it, is it just an added component to the main game to make it sell more?
Or do they plan to monetize it separately from the main game?

What I'm asking is, I already preordered my copy of RDR2, and now they're adding more stuff to it, which is great, but... they aren't getting any more money out of me since the online part is free? I'm confused.

As long as this doesn't touch the singleplayer experience, remaining separated from it, I think the game wil sell even more.

You have nothing to worry about.

GTAVs online is completely separate and still sort of ruined GTAV for me. Because single player missed out on a ton of dlc and updates when online became a hit. FFS they didn't even add the new cars at all. Just no effort put into single player shortly after launch.

It will be like GTA online. I'm pretty sure of that. Slow as fuck progression to squeeze money from people. It worked so it'll be their standard MO for their biggest games till it doesn't work anymore. Scorpion cards. Something like that.

Primarily guns I'd imagine. And armour and horses probably too.

frankGT · Sep 20, 2018

OMG cant wait to have wood mansions filled with hookers and animal life heads, stables with 10 multi color horses with gold horseshoes, indian camps to raid, banks to blow up, trains to intercept...
Must have a balloon powered by cherokee trained eagles, an aquatic machine of death and a mole like escavator to travel to heists underground... surprise m****f****s, heres my dinamite triple barrel shotgun!! :gun:

All this on a shiny 9900k + RTX 2080 because, just buy it... ahh cant wait!
R* is the BEST! :grog:

Ninty second of couse.

I think that if it is a separate element of the game, I can kinda see the appeal even if we know that it will not have single player expansions. My biggest problem with GTA Online is that it is embedded in the main game in a way that if I am not interested in playing online, everytime I have to download huge updates for a mode that I dont use (and the lask of single player expansions too. Rockstar says that it is not viable to expand, but I really disagree. GTA V is the game that have the least content of them all, especially after playing Vice City Stories which has a ton of post game activities, it really is very impressive for a PSP and late PS2 release)

Just started playing the original red dead last week, is awesome so far seeing what the world could of once been like.

I'm counting on Rockstar to spoil the online with "cowboy crates" & such WHICH WE DON'T WANT!

Make the online with no purchases possible, just steadily unlock things the regular way, NO in app purchases that have tarnished GTA.

duwen · Sep 20, 2018

So, pretty much a carbon copy of how they launched GTA online last gen... can't say that's a surprise. Hopefully it will be far less glitchy at launch than GTA was.
