"Like we said on stage, we're going to bring four generations of content to Scarlett, including all the games on the Xbox One, we have the 360 and the original Xbox games, and not only do we want those to run, we want them to run and play better than you've ever seen them on Scarlett. All your accessories are compatible moving forward as well. If you go and buy an Elite Wireless Controller or Series Two Controller that will be forward compatible on the Scarle

Update: After further digging, it's been deduced that the Red Dead Redemption 2 's reported ambient occlusion visual downgrade is far from new -- in fact, the change has been active since Update 1.03 which rolled out late last year. Even still, it doesn't appear that an explicit downgrade to shadowing via ambient occlusion was noted in the Rockstar patch notes .

Several things pop up in this comparison photo -- you can see that Arthur's jacket is more illuminated and has far less shadow on the right-most image that has is taken with Update 1.06. Shadows under the bar are less prevalent and the general lighting is all around brighter.

If you have yet to play through the Western epic that is Red Dead Redemption 2 , consider blocking the updates from your original disk install. According to reports from multiple gamers in dedicated Red Dead Redemption communities, Rockstar seemingly removed ambient occlusion in a visual downgrade -- though that was not disclosed in the most recent patch notes.

Pinkerton plays quite the pivotal role in RDR2 . Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross play Pinkerton agents sent to track down Dutch’s gang. Along the way, they do a bunch of villainous things, like killing several gang members in a brutal firefi

Obviously, there is always the chance that there are mitigating factors causing these differences -- in previous rumors of downgrades, these could have been caused by differences in the weather or time of day . On the other hand, it isn't totally uncommon to see assets shift in updates as games are further optimized, either intentionally or unintentionally. However, if this is real and not just unfortunate side-by-side screenshot grabs, it is a shame. One of the principal reasons the game received a 10 from DualShockers is because it was a technical showstopper , including the lighting.

Speaking about accessories, one can assume he is referring to Kinect, old Xbox controllers, and possibly peripherals such as headsets. Xbox has experimented with upgrading backwards compatible games externally, as they did by making the original Red Dead Redemption 4K with updated textures. We'll have to wait a tiny bit more for full details on Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, with the console shipping during Holiday 2

This probably comes as no surprise to anyone (and especially not to the people still playing the game), but Red Dead Redemption 2 is yet another hit for Rockstar Games. In the first two weeks of sales, RDR2 sold 17 million copies, which is more than the original Red Dead Redemption sold over the entire course of hist

Rockstar just released its new Showdown mode, "Plunder," within the world of _ Red Dead Online , _ pitting teams of four against each other in a fast-paced battle to collect the most supplies through any means necessary. Now you can plunder your way to victory with some of our tried-and-tested tips and tri

Once your team is able to hold down a respectable amount of supplies - three deliveries is a good starting number - it’s time to protect that which you have earned. The number of supplies at each base shows on the map, so your stockpile will look pretty darn attractive to the other teams that are still scrambling for their first bag of supplies. Most bases have at least one high-ground area surrounding it, making it the perfect place for a sniper to set up and pick off enemies. Once your team collects four or, dare we say five, supply bags, you will likely be in a better position for the whole team to remain on defense, with a sniper, a mid-range protector, and someone right on top of the supplies to provide point-blank defense. The fourth player could be used as a defensive roamer or as a distraction by stealing other teams’ supplies (even though they may not survive the solo attemp
