Red Dead Online: Discussion & Speculation

[CH14R1 835]

For me would be a dream having an option to play 'online' on a solo instance, without requiring PSN+ subscription, like Elite Dangerous. You can have a character, progression, do activities completely hassle free and join friends when you want.

Sorry dude they supposedly took the lasso out for fear of people griefing withing it. Don't you think it should be in online though? I certainly do. Think of all the funny stuff you could do with your friends if you have lassos. Maybe two people lasso the same person and ride in different directions with their horses and cause the npc to glitch out or maybe they tear in half. But unless they add it to multiplayer we won't get to find out. 

If they took the lasso out, I’m guessing we don’t have the option online to rope and tame a wild horse? I’ll be pretty disappointed if that’s true. Also, has it been confirmed that there will be animals online? That may sound like a stupid question but I keep thinking back to GTAO and the reasons why they chose not to have animals online.

Good question

[Negan009 8,687]

I don't really care that much for multiplayer but I enjoyed RDR multiplayer so if it's anything like that I'll see what it's like first.

 

When we expecting it to come out? Supposed to be this month isn't it?

Exactly. The beta is supposed to start before the end of the month.

Expecting trailer this week to be honest

Yes it's confirmed. There's a trophy for hunting on online.

[FuturePastNow 2,179]

Setting Online in 1903 would let them sell us a plane.

[Jason 21,411]

Here's the info we can glean from the trophies:

 

• Free roam missions can be received from characters in the world
• We will have a camp that we can improve
• We can own at least 5 horses
• We can sell items to the butcher
• We can pick herbs and craft items and ammo
• Free roam will have events
• You can "counter" a rival posse's free roam mission
• You can form a "persistent posse"

 

What those last two mean exactly is TBC but what we can guess from the other stuff is that the game will have hunting (selling to the butcher), cooking (picking herbs), crafting both items and ammo, camp customisation and a bigger horse stable than SP. Free roam also seems to be the go-to mode for general mission doing with missions taking place in free roam - so hopefully that means we won't see loading screens often.

These two sound a lot like CEO work in GTAOnline.

 

How I see it:

 

Persistent posse will be like an organization with your friends consistently being associates.

 

Counter a mission sounds like how you can destroy CEO's goods when they're acquiring or selling them.

 

 

Or maybe I'm completely wrong. But that's what it sounds like to me.

I hope you're completely wrong. I'm getting tired of the same old "search and destroy" missions. No creativity whatsoever. Just "a rival is moving cargo, jump in your jet and blow them the f up". Not to mention how the game will remind you 5 times a minute to go blow someone's cargo up everytime someone is moving. In my opinion it gets boring after the first truck you blow up. Then ofcourse you have the tryhards who literally spend 9 hours a day just destroying other players deliveries.

No news yet with two days before the week ends. Seems like a delay is in place. A trailer should be dropping around this time if they plan to launch the beta next week.

Unless we get a same day release when the trailer drops.

[Jabalous 7,206]

It is possible, but Rockstar usually takes their time and allows marketing breather between media release and product launch. Players will need to see what they will experience and absorb the info before jumping into Online.

I smell a delay 

[deadasdisco 533]

They put out hirings for a Video Editor a couple of days ago. They are close, it's still possible it could get delayed. 

[Jason 21,411]

Honestly if they delay it I wouldn't even be mad, it'd be quite funny. It would be quite fitting for it to get delayed lmao.

[éX-Driver 1,806]

I hope they finally let us choose handedness. As a lefty, I’d dearly love for my character to shoot left-handed. The animations are already there. Boy Calloway is a lefty and draws and shoots his gun left-handed in the missions you interact with him with. Dutch also draws his off-hand revolver purely left handed [unlike Arthur who has it lined up to draw with his right]. And when you’re behind cover, depending on the angle Arthur will hold [and reload] the gun either left or right-handed.

there’s no reason anymore not to let us pick. Just like there’s no reason not to let us choose where our holsters are. The animations for the classical dual-wield exist because that’s how Dutch holsters his guns, and the animations for cross-wielding exists because that’s how Micah holsters his guns. I want to do it that way, too. 

[Dr.Rosenthal 5,328]

Will we hear something today? I kind of hoped we would get a trailer and release date today, I guess we could still hear something in about 20 mins..

[Dr.Rosenthal 5,328]

Well.. enjoy the silence, I guess (?)

Looks like delay

 

last chance weekend announcement!

[Negan009 8,687]

30 minutes and the truth will set us free

 

[jje1000 806]

Any guesses as to when the trailer will drop? Surprised it hadn't happened this morning- but there are rumors that Online might be delayed.

 

I think the last opportunity for the trailer will be next Monday or Tuesday, beyond that we'll know that Online is being delayed.
