That early price point is literally done for the people who swapped platforms.

 

And they haven't mentioned anything about character transfers.

 

Rockstar m8, the f*ck are you doing?

[Banana]

f*ck online

[Pedinhuh]

No word about private, invite-only sessions, right?

 

LOL the f*cking cheek these guys have..

[joshua969]

What a strange and depressing turn of events.

and the pass looks like prety sh*ty 

- 30 Gold Bars
- New horse mane and tail styles
- The Irontooth Mask
- New skill pamphlets
- Clothing suitable for cold weather
- Role XP boosts

Wow!!  Can't wait for them to add Liberty City and San Fierro map expansions, now that RDO will be a standalone game...

 

Spoiler

 

[TagoKG]

Well at least that bounty hunter outfit looks badass

[Lonely-Martin]

10 more ranks to the bounty hunter role, is that it? (Aside a new outlaw pass of course). All the while GTA:O gets a new island and a soloable heist and such.

 

I know to keep expectations low, but this is pretty lame for even low expectations!

[Rev. Gnash]

[Lemoyne outlaw]

im surprised that they did not hype it up. one screenshot and some vague details is stupid. yet with gta o. they did teasers and added a new island. i know that gta has the bigger community. but red dead deserves better than this.

[TCA]

I already have clothes for cold weather. I don’t need anymore ffs.

[IamCourtney]

As one of the minority who like Bounty Hunting, I guess I'm a little excited? Not really much to go on as far as what exactly is changing/expanding is concerned...

 

And I feel like a sucker for even thinking it but I'm mildly tempted to drop a fiver on RDO standalone to avoid swapping discs, since the prospect of solo heists might just be enough to get me back into GTAO to some extent...

[RyuNova]

Wait, what?

Is RDOSA the same as the BC version of RDO?

[87notchback]

Bounty hunter is my fav role... but come on 10 ranks!? Hopefully they will at least add a couple more characters to stranger missions.

This marketing technique seems backwards.  Update news should be first.

Then why is the RDOSA version near the size of the full game? You would think a "standalone" version would be smaller? 

 

Unless it's just the full game with SP walled off?

 

Also I can't help but be smug. I told you they were holding the good stuff back for Next Gen. This ain't even an Update, it's filler.

Or, as it's been called in days gone by, "Shovelware".

 

Never has a game company been so talented at gimping their own game.

I've got zero interest in doing more of the same where the Bounty Hunter role is concerned. If that's the best they can come up with after all these months then I'm gonna bail and wait for something more substantial. Of course, they could be holding out on some surprises for next week - but I won't be banking on that. 

 

On the bright side, making RDO a standalone product bodes well for the future. I'm sure they wouldn't bother if they didn't plan on expanding on it well into the future. 

 

Mexico when?

For curiosity shoppers, or "throw away" sales--sure. That's what this move from R* is intended to do; appeal to a swathe of gamers who are bored and can barely afford it.

 

It's not a position of confidence in how good your game is when you sell it for dirt cheap.

Correct. Like the Summertime Special crap they pulled with GTAO. 

 

Unless they have something significant they are hiding like Properties this is going to end very quickly.

 

I hope alot of fun stuff is hidden in the Outlaw Pass. 

[Punkd]

lol R* what happened to you

 

[kubon352]

This is the future I don't like.

You've not told anyone anything yet tbf.

 

I don't think they're holding anything back for next gen my self, I think this is par for the course for RDO now, 1-2 updates a year and that's it. Milking GTAO to it's bitter end and developing GTA VI is their focus now.

I mean that cant be all to it no ?... jesus... mediocrity have a limit i hope...

[V-The-Wonderman]

 

Well this was a surprise. 

 

Doesn't seem much actually, but ill take this. Hopefully bigger expansions by next year. f*ck this Corona. 

 

Gambler's Den, please.

 

Figure there's Christmas Pass or something hidden there too?

Except that came with the promise of the "biggest ever update" that's coming in a few weeks. Meanwhile there's nothing in the horizon for RDO, it's quite sad really

I don't think so, considering the new outlaw pass launches so close to Christmas. Wouldn't make much sense to make a separate pass to purchase separately
