Red Dead Redemption Releases to a Slew of Online Problems

Red Dead Redemption, from what has been seen so far the game is phenomenal. Except for one little problem, the highly anticipated multiplayer component is broken for many users on the Xbox Live service. Disconnection issues and freezing are the two most reported issues as of yet, and our personal experience was limited to just a couple of disconnects playing around twenty matches since it's midnight release. Sit tight Red Dead Fans, Rockstar is sure to have a patch for these slight problems in what is otherwise a masterpiece of a title.

It seems like every game these days has these exact issues at launch. Give the game more than 7 hours before we start calling them problems, they are more like kinks.

Johnny55085d ago

I gave you an agree and I don't know why. This game has been in development for awhile and these guys are eager enough to release the game at midnight and many people have been waiting for this one for awhile. They take off work, move obligations so they can play the game today. And for all we know this games multiplayer is going to be FUBAR for the next month. If this games single player wasnt so effin good I would be so pissed right now. You can see though once the MP starts working right its gonna be EPIC.

Trey_4_life5085d ago

Lol im still baffled as to why people pay for xbox live when these problems keep happening, on the other hand the PSN is free and has flawless connection.

bruddahmanmatt5085d ago

GTAIV's online was complete **** at launch. I'd expect nothing different from Rockstar. Most game companies these days simply release games with crap connection/bandwith/server issues at launch and correct them after the fact. They save money by not buying/renting more bandwith than they will need ahead of time, they save money by not having to do large scale tests of their online ahead of time and they save money, they save money, they save money. Meanwhile, gamers have to put up with this crap for anywhere from a week to a month depending on how quickly these cheap asses can get it together.

FanboysWillHateMe5085d ago

Maybe because all of our friends on our Xbox Live as well? Get outta here man, $4 a month is nothing to me, I make that much in change everyday.

HAHAHAHAH Subsciption Xbox Lives Fail

Pennywise5085d ago

UC2 has plenty of people playing. I haven't played KZ2 in a while, so I can't comment. Once again you comment fails LaChance.

And all you guys talking trash are funny... You pay for a service there should be NO PROBLEMS.

Nitrowolf25085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

lol
@LaChance

Please you pay for your service there shouldn't even be an issue, and why dn't you go into uncharted 2 and find a game? its matchmaking has it set up so you get into a room of people filled. Go play some mag, most games are full.

Nicaragua5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

I was on Killzone 2 over the weekend and it was rammed with players.

More importantly though it wasnt full of pricks like you...unlike LIVE

bjornbear5085d ago

what the hell! does KZ2 and U2 have to do with ANY of this?

and they ARE NOT EMPTY they are full of games as we speak! (just had a KZ2 match 16 vs 16 (more than anything you can expeirence))

so just shut up you damn troll!

@ drdistracto707 - its nothing to do with 360, its because the MP host is gamespy =/

wicko5085d ago

@LaChance
If you pay for live you'd probably want to get your money's worth.

Even so, I doubt KZ2 and U2 are empty, unless everyone is playing Bad Company 2.

Gray-Fox5085d ago

I was just on MW2. 350,000 playing.

xabmol5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

Any time numders come up (player count or sales) it't always, "...bu, bu, but teh Halo!!"

So I will reply, Halo and?? You see, Halo sells XboXs. Without it where would the XboX brand be?

So many people off-topic / trolling in this article...

Akagi5085d ago

Exactly. They haven't tested their network for this game yet, not at least to hundreds of thousands of people.

Gun_Senshi5085d ago

Lord Of The Rings Online, no really.

Best MMO Launch EVER

nycredude5085d ago

Had the game since midnight and so far very good game. Not 10 good but least 9. However like all open world games there are glitches. Jerky animations, textures, and a very little bit of pop in and the game froze on me once so far. Playing the game I can't help but to pray that Naughty Dog decides to make an open world game after UC3!

poe5085d ago

Well at least the multiplayer isn't completely broken. I found that if I am playing with a room of friends only its not nearly as bad as public games. So for now Ill play with friends or just play the campaign.

kenlawson5085d ago

Thanks for the heads up. This is just the confirmation I need to go ahead and pick up Alan Wake. Tough decision today, but I have been hearing really good things about Alan Wake though Red Dead looks awesome and all I think I'm gonna wait til next pay day on it.

DelbertGrady5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

Sounds wise. Play Alan Wake until the online of RDR is working properly. I can't get it where I live until friday so I hope some of it's sorted by then.

@teedogg80 - Especially the lighting. I was also amazed by how scary it was. The Friday the 13th staccato strings make you leave your seat.

It also holds lots of references to classic horror movies. The script borrows a lot from the movie Misery. The way the woods come to life and many of the settings reminded me of Evil Dead, and the villager/miner enemies are very reminiscent of Jason from Friday the 13th.

Anyone noticed some other references that I didn't pick up on?

teedogg805085d ago

I picked up RDR and Alan Wake last night and yes, Alan Wake is amazing. The graphics are outstanding!

FanboyAttack5085d ago

Picked up both as well, might be the best two games I have picked up together in awhile.

Trey_4_life5085d ago

Lol you mean the sub HD, aliased, pixelated, linear, game Alan wake? Are we thinking about the same game here?

tigertron5085d ago

Hopefully a patch will be released this week, because I'll be getting the game soon.

Crazyhorse5085d ago

No! Ps3 is perfectlys fine. Like always.

Red Dead Redeption Multiplayer ==> Only on PS3

jessupj5085d ago

PS3

It only does better RDR multiplayer!

But seriously, I've yet to get the game but I bet they'd still be a few hiccups on the ps3 side. There always is at launch. Who know? Maybe Crazyhorse is right and it runs very smooth. In any case hopefully a few things have been ironed out by the time my copy arrives in the mail. (Assuming there's hiccups to iron out)

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming8d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long8d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1018d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor8d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing698d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno8d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast22d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg22d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

OtterX38d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai38d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos38d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8938d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg22d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
