How Are Micro-transactions Going to Work with Red Dead : Redemption 2?

Agheil writes - "Fellow gamers, early next year we are going to get one of the best games of 2018. Red Dead : Redemption 2 is set to be a behemoth in terms of reception and sales but with Take Two accepting microtransactions, how is it going to work in RDR 2?

I have concerns on how it's going to work.

Check out the video below for details."

indyman77772756d ago

ROFL! Not buying it at all so they will have to remove microtransactions like EA was forced to $0.00 (Priceless)!

indyman77772756d ago

Rockstar seems unstoppable. I believe the only thing that will bring them down to being humble is micro-transaction rejections. Once people start going negative on that it will affect all sales going forward. Something many companies are experiencing.

Come on Rockstar your NOT a monopoly your sales are pumping your head too big.

rollerdisc2757d ago

The John outfit will probably happen loool

bananasrule2757d ago

and people will buy it....

Mikelarry2757d ago

Lol you know it.

Forgot to add

New game+ .... Preorder now to unlock lolz

UltraNova2756d ago

Want more fauna variety? Get your loot boxes for more animal drops (mountain lions = legendary drops)

Agheil2757d ago

this is sad and hilarious lol

fenome2757d ago

Don't forget the horse armor! It's a steal at 9.99.

Never forget the horse armor.

indyman77772756d ago (Edited 2756d ago )

ROFL My horse aint scaared of no stinkin arrows.

fenome2756d ago

What if it takes an arrow to the knee?! Lmao

Retroman2757d ago

Buy empty game. pay 59.99 to download it as Microtransaction game.

indyman77772756d ago

LOL.....I bet the micro-transactions will not be costlier than EA's battlefront cost if they had stayed in there.

OG_TK_Cole2756d ago

Zarock2756d ago

Only Idiots will buy a free 2 play game lul.

They better think twice with recent events!

rollerdisc2757d ago

If the buzz isnt as high then I worry if they will even care.

zerocarnage2756d ago

Buzz was high for STWF2 then look what happened..

indyman77772756d ago

Spot ON ZEROCARNAGE Star wars battle Front 2 had the largest budget largest publishing budget ever. For the largest IP (intellectual property) on THE PLANET OF EARTH! And look what happened

_-EDMIX-_2757d ago

They might simply be talking about the online portion I mean look at Grand Theft Auto V and has a lot of Microtransactions but that's only exclusively to the online portion of the game.

Summons752757d ago

Agreed but they are too blinded by the zero controversy over the shark cards and the crazy amount of money those have ranked in. Same reason why GTAV never got single-player DLC because Shark Cards.

UltraNova2756d ago

They'll find a way ti migrate shark cards to RDR too. I dont know if R* will ever bother with single player expansions again, not as long as they can make hundreds of millions of dollars through the relatively risk free Online mode.

bananasrule2757d ago

As long as the campaign isnt affected I dont care.

Agheil2757d ago

The campaign is my main concern too but I don’t want them to be in the game at all if possible.

_-EDMIX-_2757d ago

Same.

If they do it just like they did the first Red Dead Redemption or even Grand Theft Auto V I could care less about what they're doing with the online portion I mean it's fun but I don't believe it's that big of a deal as I've seen a lot of the stuff for Grand Theft Auto V or simply cosmetic stuff.

DJStotty2756d ago

The focus on MT does affect the campaign though. More resources will be targeted at the online section for the MT.

You will end up with a short half assed campaign with no dlc.

At least people might have loot crates to open though

addictedtochaos2757d ago

I imagine they will be much like the Shark Cards in GTA Online.

Agheil2757d ago

Probably but the world of GTA is much more massive in capabilities than RDR so it’ll be interesting to see what route they go.

Prince_TFK2757d ago (Edited 2757d ago )

I still think it would be similiar. You can possibly buy the following in RDR Online:

- Different horses (just like car)
- Guns
- Hideouts ( just like safe houses)
- Outfits
- Bet money at betting house
- Cars - This is interesting. If RDR2’s era is close to the last one, we might possibly see and able to buy car in this game.

I do however hope they can be more creative with this.

_-EDMIX-_2757d ago

@kun-agreed I'm not really sure why no one is seeing this

DillyDilly2757d ago

$9.99 if you need ammo & another $9.99 every time you shoot a weapon & also $9.99 to pay to have your horse stop & rest

*Remaster
not Remake
People still confuse the terms in 2025.

CrimsonWing695d ago

It kills me that at this point they still can’t. Like when people complain that The Last of Us has too many Remasters… when they literally have 1 and then a PS5 Remake 🤦‍♂️

Lionsguard5d ago

Sure, in 15 years maybe. I'm playing it right now and it looks better than most games today.

mkis0075d ago

I think it's not too much to ask for a current gen native version, like we got for gta 5

Lionsguard5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

That's not really a remaster or a remake, it's a patch at most.

Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Is Real, Out This Year

The possibility of a PS5 version for Red Dead Redemption 2 just became a bit more realistic, as the very reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed in his latest predictions podcast that a next-gen version of the Rockstar open worlder is in the works.

On the podcast, he said: "Those rumours are true. Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update and the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year." They go on to say that they were told the new versions will launch "a few months" after Switch 2's release, which is tomorrow. They then speculate a late summer / early fall launch window.

Please please please. My dualsense needs this game.

Aloymetal8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Yup, this game needs that sweet 60fps treatment. Can't wait I hope this is real.

andy858d ago

Be rude not to give it another play. Definitely won't be going for the platinum this time. That was hell 😂

lukasmain7d ago

Lol it was even harder at launch. It took me a very long time. Apparently I've heard they made it easier getting the gold medals for missions in some way. But at launch time it was a pain because after you finish the story and go back to play missions to get the medals, you lose all your perks and abilities, your dead eye level and guns everything etc. You just have the stock standard bare minimum with crap guns. If I had have known they were going to do that, I would have made sure I got gold medals when I was playing the story. But I got it in the end. Pretty sure the trophies would auto-pop on a PS5 version

Cacabunga7d ago

Yes you are right.. you equipment from the main game carried on when you go for gold medals which is always something!
Also the fact you don’t need to get gold on every mission is the big thing.

Still a massive plat and one of the few I am very happy to possess

jznrpg8d ago

Nice! I’ll add it to my collection

aaronlif108d ago

I sincerely hope we finally get a next gen update to this game. It is long overdue. I'd love to see ray tracing and enhanced lighting get added. Perhaps more npc's or animals, ect.
