RDO Next Updates Speculation & General Chat (Part I)

[DM_Tony]

Appears like the PS4 exclusive items have come to RDO like the legendary ram and fossil collections ... but I'm already on PS4

 

Collector role items are on sale and some limited time clothing are back like Cossack hat ... more do X and receive Y coupons may return

[ALifeOfMisery]

Any new Legendary Animals this week? Can't get online right now.

Looks like this week is Xbox catch up week. They get the Rams, but the Panthers, Moose and Bears haven't been released.

 

R* are dragging the f*ck out of this dripfeed, they've even held the last 2 hats back, only releasing the coat and pants with some returning Limited Stock clothing.

What harm would there have been for Xbox to get the Rams AND another LA with PS just getting the new LA?

 

But no. These dripfeeds are dry as f*ck.

Huh, I have done one six man Bounty but the targets glitched and just stood there letting me hogtie them all and put them in my wagon, when I dropped them off the game stuttered and never paid me out so I dropped a message to support with video eveidence and they compensated me five hundred dollars.

500 Dollars is the Standard amount to make your mouth shut

Outlaw pass has been an absolute slog to get through...

I have 3 accounts to do it on, I am level 40 on one of them, maybe 15-20 on another and haven't even gotten past 1 on the third.  This update has been a complete bust for me.  I have no real desire to play when I have the time.  I turn it on to try and work on the outlaw pass but it lasts 15 minutes before I shut it off.  I'm pretty sure I won't finish any of them at all.

Reasons for RDR2: NextGen

 

- 60fps on all NextGen consoles (probably the biggest leap) 

- native 4k on Series X/PS5 (PS4 Pro was 1920x2160 checkerboarding) 

- 1080p-1440p on Series S (still huge upgrade compared to 864p on One S)

- higher settings (better draw distance, lightning, shadows, texture detail etc, basically optimized high PC settings)

- faster load times

- maybe some form of light raytracing reflections

- Introduction of R* editor and R* creator in RDO

- And simply a more smoother and stable experience enabled by the Zen 2 processors and NVME SSDs

- Opportunity to expand the game which maybe wasn't possible on the old jaguar cores of Xbox one and PS4 (e.g. expanding New Austin with more interiors and interactivity or eventually adding Mexico) 

Dont know where your getting those figures for PS4 Pro my Tv itself gives me a notification on any of the HDMI inputs what the signal is and RDO on PS4 Pro it gives me 2160x3840 input at 60hertz so im getting 4K When i play on the very odd occasion upstairs on the old stock PS4 release issue the picture is a massive drop in quality and colour rendition

Why do you have three accounts

probably because he wants too, I have 2 accounts one for each machine

i finished 2, while the lobbies are small. One on my rank 270 and the other on a rank 79. It was easier on the low rank character, while ranking up Trader and Moonshiner too. 
Dunno if it would be as easy on 2 higher ranked characters, though. Collecting ranks it pretty fast, but is boring.

Because why not?  If I focused on one account I would have quit in the first couple months of BETA.   I started my second higher ranked account after I reached 120ish in rank on the main account because there was nothing left to do.  It was BETA and we had nothing more than a few showdown modes, a handful of stranger missions, and the first set of Mrs, Leclerc missions.  One is ranked around 240 something and the other around 230 something.

 

The third account I started back in march? after a long a drought of content.  Starting this account kept me playing the game an extra month that I probably wouldn't have.  I play it totally different than the other two.  I have not purchased any weapons other than the bow.  I stick to the cattleman and carbine.  I have NEVER bought ammo, I loot it all.  I have the original horse I started the game with.  I have only purchased a few clothing items and a better saddle.  I have maxed out trader and collector(not using a map, never sold one set other than flowers) and just started moonshine last time it was on sale, in fact, I haven't purchased anything unless it was on sale including any of the roles.  I'm up to rank 80 playing this style and I'll keep it going as long as possible....Just a different way to play.

Sometimes (more often than not, perhaps?) we have to make our own fun. 

 

Actually, in my opinion, that's exactly what open world games are for, trying different styles of play.

Explore the opportunities, no need to fall into the same patterns most commonly used, it's refreshing to apply a different set of personal rules to a game.

That's not a limitation, it's enabling a new connection to the experience.

I'm really excited that they added fossils to Xbox, I've been a Dinosaur nerd since I was a kid so guess my character is one too

[kcole4001]

Fossils, finally! (for PC also)

[Non Funkable Token]

Maybe in about a month y'all PC and XB1 users will be able to complete a single set of fossils, because the items are random and the RnG gods don't play in player's favour......

You don't need to pay a second PS plus fee.  Just make sure your first account has the playstation activated as it's main playstation and ANY account that uses that same playstation can play online

 

I didn't see @Nerfgoth's reply....What he said

The way I look at it, it just helps offset camp payments and fast travel expenses.

Strangely enough, Rockstar skipped an article this time, it might be related to the Naturalist Photo Challenge or the PS5 event (which could either be for GTAO or RDO), or it's merely a dummy article.

Your TV will always show 3840x2160 when connected to your PS4 Pro. Just boot up any game that is not enhanced for the Pro, it still shows 3840x2160. The same reason your TV shows 60Hz, even though the game runs at 30fps. Your TV is not lying, 3840x2160 is the actual output, but it's upscaled, not native.

 

"the PlayStation 4 Pro renders the game at 1920x2160, and then upscales it to 4K via what is likely checkerboard rendering, leading to a “softer” image."
