Why were no animals added with "next gen" Online

[Adeel007]

Did R* say why? So much for the "next gen" release. Glad I didn't waste money on it, was a straight port with improved graphics and first person that I doubt many people use online.

Also heard people having the same connection issues like no full lobbies.

[hornedturtle]

Lobby issues are fixed. I use first person a sh*t ton. No idea on the no animals part.

[ClaudeSpeed1911]

Wait until the animals update.

[MarkNuttGod]

Server issues i bet

After the heists are released and fix the tons of bugs that will come with them I hope rockstar will focus on stuff like this.

[Gtaultimatefanboy]

We weren't ready!?

P2P server aka network limitations. They might appear on pc due to the server being dedicated but it's never coming to consoles.

You expect them to respond to every single wishlist they receive??

[TECHN9CiAN]

Cash cards. Only people who purchase the megaladon shark card get animals to spawn. Go get your cash card ans see for yourself

[§†range]

Console limitations

[Non Fiction]

Console limitations

[Cracka.Brew]

But RDR had animals online.

[johnpolo]

I wouldn't mind if they replaced the cops with animals.

[OurJud]

Did R* say why?

 

Two words: 'drip' and 'feed'.

[mr.burton]

With the amount of cops spawning within 10 seconds you can't tell me they couldn't have reduced that and added animals.

 

Half the amount of cops and add some animals. End of story.

Based off something read a while back Rockstar severs are running at 256/64 DSL, My internet is faster then that, 256/64 DSL is fine if it was 2008, that being said if the severs were running at 512/128 DSL things would be better and more content (i.e animals) could be added to online. Basically there running internet/sever speeds that is, well the speed of high-speed dail-up (yes that is a thing).

[Zip87]

Because 16 douchebags weren't enough to put in one lobby.

[SixteenValues]

Glad I didn't waste money on it, was a straight port with improved graphics and first person that I doubt many people use online.

Nah.

[fakebasedjo]

Rockstar probably just doesn't consider it necessary. I doubt console limitations play a role in this. Same with PETA. Network issues may be a legitimate cause, though.

[iTz-JoNeSy]

Because rockstar don't want to use servers that cost any more than £5 a year and don't want to hire decent developers that can make magic happen. You'll always just get pretty worlds for your money.

[OurJud]

Maybe they had concerns about this type of player

I just know I'd get distracted I'd see a deer and I'd chase it and stab it.

I hope you can beat animals to death in V.

Cheers.

Then why would they be in SP?

P2P server aka network limitations. They might appear on pc due to the server being dedicated but it's never coming to consoles.

 

Quoted because this is the right answer and the only answer that makes sense. Kind of tired of this question coming up again and again, to be honest. What it comes down to is that a lot of information has to be communicated to and from your console - mostly the position and physical condition of players, cars, NPCs, and dynamic objects in the environment. All of that hogs bandwidth. Add in animals and it becomes too much, unless you eliminate some of what we've already got.

 

In other words, the reason there are no animals is the exact same reason that there is less traffic and fewer NPCs on the streets. It's just too taxing on people with less-than-stellar internet and it would cause lag.

 

PETA has nothing to do with it. "Console limitations" has nothing to do with it. Red Dead is a bad point of comparison because there's far less going on in that game.

 

And for what it's worth, I really like the next gen version and it was well worth the money to me. I use first person always on foot, sometimes in cars; I love the improved graphics; and I love the 30 player (well, usually low 20s) lobbies. All of that is more meaningful to me than animals.
