Will Rockstar’s Deal With Sony Affect GTA Online?

A PS4 timed exclusivity deal is unlikely for GTA Online, in spite of one applying to RDR 2.

Regardless of the deal with PlayStation (which is huge), Red Dead 2 releasing is going to affect GTA Online.

poppinslops2658d ago

"We are pleased to announce that PS4 players get first access to earn select online content in the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2."

How is that a 'huge' deal?

GTgamer2658d ago

I just wanna know how that effects gta :/

poppinslops2658d ago

@GT: Why would it have any effect on GTAO? They're DIFFERENT GAMES... I mean, it's not as though R* need to do 'package deals'!

Outside_ofthe_Box2658d ago

This article is completely pointless and unnecessary.

b163o12658d ago

RDR2 exclusive content would be huge for Sony's PS4 and PSPro owner's. This is great news....

MagicBeanz2658d ago

Seemed self explanatory. I'm sure if it was the other way around it would be a huge deal.

Overload2658d ago

I guess I need a tattoo on my arm to make it a big deal.

Sitdown2658d ago

Overload,
So what you are saying is that you not going to explain how it's a huge deal?

Overload2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

Having the marketing rights to a huge game like this is huge for PlayStation. Like Destiny was huge for PlayStation. Having the extra content (right or wrong) in a game like this is a big deal. Not to mention bundles and commercial branding during Black Friday and next holiday.

generic-user-name2657d ago

It's not just content, it's a marketing deal too.

Mr Pumblechook2657d ago (Edited 2657d ago )

The writer of this article seems to have misunderstood Rockstar's statement. It DOESN'T mean that the RDR3 Online is a timed exclusive to PS4. It DOES mean that some online content (perhaps a map or missions) are first on PS4. The core point being that both PS4 & XBO users will be able to play RDR3 Online at the same time.

Tot 2 different dev teams handled RD and GTA?

morganfell2658d ago

Most of the teams contribute in minor ways but RDR2 is fronted by Rockstar San Diego. They were also the lead studio for both previous RD titles.

_-EDMIX-_2658d ago

Yes to my understanding Rockstar San Diego is the one that created Red Dead Redemption and Rockstar North creates GTA.

I'm not sure but I'm pretty positive it's going to be Rockstar San Diego that's working on Red Dead Redemption 2.

Summons752658d ago

Besides a dip in player base during the first month of RDR2, probably not. The real thing we need to worry about is the greedy shark cards and microtransactions are plague GTAO will ruin RDR2 online?

JackBNimble2657d ago

Well I like my DLC free and shark cards are the very reason why GTA online DLC is free.

joab7772658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

I don't think so. It will effect the IP only. That said I am surprised thatRockstar went this route b/c they don't need it. Oh wait!! They don't need it, so it's just more free money in their pockets. Good for both! Oh wait! Not sure why Sony would do it either. Maybe to combat the release of the Scorpio this fall. They'd be better in spending the money to drop the price of the Pro to $299, or bundle it with RDR2 for $359. That would be HUGE!

Liqu1d2658d ago

Not really. Some people won't have any interest in horses and cowboys so they'll stick with GTA until the next game. R* know this and GTA 6 development is more likely to affect GTA Online than RDR2.

I wish we could just get that PS exclusive since AGENT seems to be nothing.

poppinslops2658d ago

R* will NEVER do a full exclusive - not while their games are raking in billions of $$$... even MS wouldn't be willing to offset those kinds of profits!

Kaneki-Ken2658d ago

PlayStation completely funded L.A. Noire in 2004. PlayStation handed the publishing rights to RockStar in 2005. RockStar Re announced the game in 2008 as a PS3 exclusive then later Re announced as multiplaform title. Rumors that PlayStation and RockStar made a deal was that LA Noire no longer be exclusive but in exchange that Agent be exclusive for PS3 since PlayStation said they locked their eyes on Agent and have a great relationship with RockStar. So far I haven't hear that RockStar pay PlayStation for fully funding LA Noire rather only heard handed publishing rights. As of now, A) RockStar owes PlayStation a game which is Agent , B) the deal was change to Red Redemption 2 exclusive contents, C) RockStar doesn't own nothing, Agents may have been cancelled and PlayStation help fund the game, RR2 deal is doesn't have to do anything with this.

XisThatKid2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

Well yea they been working with them every since the first one. Although not exclusive but got major support for the UN banning and marketing for gta 1 to 2 hell it took like 2 years for gta3 to come to xbox back then.

Xzviur_Azai2658d ago

Throwing out all sorts of FUD lately huh, keep it up it's entertaining lol.

zb1ftw7772658d ago

Yes you did.

A couple of different coloured pixels if you buy the game on PS4.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein2d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long1d 4h ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius17h ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius17h ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk19d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218318d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken18d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker19d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218318d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast19d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog19d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast19d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave19d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
