As for the crunch that will be retained, Iwiński told Kotaku "We’ve been communicating clearly to people that of course there are certain moments where we need to work harder—like I think the E3 demo is a pretty good example" and Badowski said "sometimes we have unique specialties, very unique people, and you cannot clone them. We need them to work on highly specific things. And we need to ask them to spend more time on something highly specific because there’s no other way to do

As anybody who’s spent time with the game will tell you, Red Dead 2 is a game of vast possibilities, dizzying scope and… well, it could be one of the all-around biggest games ever made, in terms of the world and freedom to traverse it. Is this really something the Switch could have handled? It’s all moot anyway because it didn’t happen and isn’t likely to, but there it

Players that relish in simply hunting, seeking out treasure, or exploring the vast open world may enjoy the Defensive Play style over all others. This also introduces balances that complement the idea of less confrontation. They cannot be lassoed by rival players unless they initiate, which would punish them by granting a significant increase to their hostility le

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week, Reggie discussed the great success that the Switch has been enjoying, but also a couple of recent shortcomings of the system. One major one being: Red Dead Redemption 2 weapons|https://reddeadwildland.com/ Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on

Or so you’d think, at any rate. According to Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime, the main reason Red Dead Redemption 2 missed out on a Switch release was simply that the system was released too l

While crunch may not completely dissipate, hopefully CD Projekt Red does stick to its word and end Cyberpunk 2077's development with a period that's light on stress like Marcin Iwiński is suggesting: "I think this is the commitment we’re ready to make today, and we’ll be listening to people. We definitely open a lot of lines of dialogue here, and we’d like to start with th

The kicker here seems to be that, while audiences would no doubt be extremely receptive to a Switch translation of the record-setting game, it might not be all that feasible. While AAA titles like 2016’s Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Collossus have received Switch ports, games as visually detailed and ambitious as RDR2 are few and far between on the system. It may be true that Nintendo managed to cram something as expansive and marvelous as Breath of the Wild onto a Switch cartridge, but the fact remains that, were Rockstar’s game to come to the console, it would likely come with more than a few caveats and restricti

Red Dead Redemption 2 's online beta officially released on November 27th (with a steady stream of access depending on when you bought the game and which edition you purchased), and after having months of bugs, economic woes, and users abusing the system, the latest update has rolled out, but users say it fails to fix many of the game's issues such as griefing and a broken econ

Rumors of an upcoming Switch port of Rockstar’s recently-released Red Dead Redemption 2 were all but put to rest a few months ago when the now-retired Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced in an interview with Hollywood Reporter that the game wouldn’t be making an appearance on the hybrid gaming machine. Though his statements seemed pretty finite at the time, speculation concerning RDR2 on the Switch has once again stirred thanks to an Australian Target shopping catalog

These days, even setting foot in the sprawling hellscape of Red Dead Online leaves you open to attack, and with daily challenges rewarding players for their kills, players are more likely to be seen as a threat than an ally to posse up with. While there are measures in place to prevent abuse of the system, they come in the form of NPC bounty hunters that are easily dispatc

"Griefing," or harassing players by killing them and generally being a criminal (which fits the theme, at least) is another poignant problem. After being killed four times, a "parley" or "feud" option appears, with the intent to either talk out your differences or go at each other, guns blazing. Many players are finding that option inefficient, as if someone wants to troll, they're going to troll. There is no option to abstain from player vs. player com

In addition, the in-game economy is still fractured, and baked beans are still more valuable than gold rings. Players originally resorted to hunting to pick up the slack, but with the new update, the hunting rewards were slashed in half, from $10 to around $5, likely to force players to spend real money in the game's premium market that includes, among other things, emoticons that will set you back hundreds of dollars in the game's regular cash, or a lot of gold bars. And defending yourself against hostile players nets you your own bounty, making you a prime target to lose all your hard-earned mo
