However you feel about Nintendo’s plucky little hybrid handheld, you’ve got to admit that the Switch deserves some kudos. Arriving in the wake of the unfortunate Wii U, it sure had its work cut out for it. After a bumpy start, the likes of Super Mario Odyssey helped get that momentum going, and sales have been super solid ever si
What the devs need to do, then, is inject that same magic into Red Dead Online . At the moment, it just isn’t performing to the standards that the main game deserves, floundering in comparison to GTA Online . Still, it’s very early days for the service, and Rockstar is working on introducing all kinds of interesting new modes to keep players engaged. Let’s take a look at the latest
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week, Reggie discussed the great success that the Switch has been enjoying, but also a couple of recent shortcomings of the system. One major one being: Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on
Last December, roughly 2 months after the game’s release, Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations sent a cease and desist letter to Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company. In the letter, Pinkerton accused Take-Two of profiting off of their name and demanded undisclosed royalties for the company’s inclusion in Red Dead Redemption
Take-Two further alleged that Pinkerton was simply attempting to steal their profits, arguing that Pinkerton agents have appeared in popular media throughout history. Not only did Pinkerton agents appear in the original Red Dead Redemption , but also in various Western films such as The Long Riders , American Outlaws , The Legend of Zorro , and 3:10 to Yuma . A former Pinkerton agent is the main character in BioShock: Infinite
Pinkerton plays quite the pivotal role in RDR2 . Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross play Pinkerton agents sent to track down Dutch’s gang. Along the way, they do a bunch of villainous things, like killing several gang members in a brutal firefi
This probably comes as no surprise to anyone (and especially not to the people still playing the game), but Red Dead Redemption 2 is yet another hit for Rockstar Games. In the first two weeks of sales, RDR2 sold 17 million copies, which is more than the original Red Dead Redemption sold over the entire course of hist
During the beginning minutes of the round, it’s all about grabbing loot, be it from the center of the map or plundering it from other teams’ base. One of the most effective strategies is to move about the map in teams of at least two people. That way, one player can provide support while the other grabs the supplies. If that player happens to be taken out, the covering player can (in theory) be right there to snag the dropped loot and run it back to the base. Running as a full team of four might seem like overkill, but overwhelming your rivals is just click the next post as effective of a strategy – at least until you start piling up the suppl
According to The Verge , Take-Two responded to Pinkerton’s letter by counter-suing, arguing fair use and protection under the first amendment. As a huge part of America’s history (at one point, Pinkerton agents were even hired to protect President-elect Abraham Lincoln), the use of Pinkerton in RDR2 is simply part of the game’s historical sett
“Defensive Playing Style” works off of GTA Online’s Passive Mode concept, but with Red Dead Online’s more grounded experience in mind. This allows players flexibility in how they interact with other players, giving them a “shield” icon over their body if an enemy aims at t
The Rockstar Editor’s addition to GTA 5 was not just a small thing; the company pushed heavily on the usage of this tool – even going as far as to run a competition for submitting short films made in the editor.
We can only hope that the delay in adding tools like these means that they are working on bigger, better versions of the existing Rockstar Editor – or the company is, as speculated by some, waiting for a PC release to bring out the various features. Only time will tell, but the game’s lack of involvement with these tools is hurting its residual media presence.
On April 13, 2015, Rockstar Games announced that the soon-to-be-released PC version of colossal hit Grand Theft Auto V would include a brand new feature titled the Rockstar Editor . This addition would allow players to save recordings of in-game footage and edit elements such as camera angles, music, coloring, and more. Content creators, creative fans and players everywhere expressed joy and began to experiment with the tool.
Rockstar just released its new Showdown mode, “Plunder,” within the world of _ Red Dead Online , _ pitting teams of four against each other in a fast-paced battle to collect the most supplies through any means necessary. Now you can plunder your way to victory with some of our tried-and-tested tips and tri
When the round begins, it’s a mad dash to the center of the map where nine supply bags await to be collected. At this point, you essentially have one of two options: post up from afar and pick off anyone who runs to the pile of supplies with your long-ranged weapon, or smash-and-grab your way to the loot before running back towards your base in a serpentining fashion so as to not be shot in the back. Both methods have their charm, as long as you’re honest with the type of player you are. Just make sure that you are using any of the Dead Eye Ability cards available to you and your team. If you are a confident sharpshooter, you’re probably better suited to provide support. If you’re less talented at shooting, well… hopefully, your stamina is maxed out. You’ll be running – a
