During the Xbox E3 2019 Briefing, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer revealed that in designing Scarlett, the company wanted the console to be "compatible across all the generations". Clarifying further, Partner Director of Program Management Jason Ronald told Windows Central more about the decisi

"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

It's the early part of 2019, which means GDC is right around the corner just a few months from now. As such, that also indicates that the GDC Awards are also coming up and Reddeadwildland.Com as of today, we know which games from the past year have now been nomina

It is a genius move on the part of Rockstar to partner with a clothing brand for an exclusive _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ collection. Plenty of Twitch streamers have already taken to donning western wear during their _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ streams. An official line of in-game apparel will make that cause even more accessible and

In fact, some eagle-eyed users were able to spot the visual discrepancies then. User RolfStarGames on the GTA Forums captured the below images doing a thorough investigation between the original build and captures post Update 1.03. You can check those images in the following gallery:

There's a good chance you will need to blow these images up to notice the difference, especially if you are a newcomer to ambient occlusion. Put simply, ambient occlusion is a game rendering realistic lighting based on the actual geometry in the room -- if a lighting source would be blocked, we wouldn't expect to see every inch of nooks and crannies. For a visual demonstration, you can take a look at this (thanks to website GamingScan ):

"We’re known—let me be humble for a moment here—we are known for treating gamers with respect...And I actually would [like] for us to also be known for treating developers with respect." Iwiński stated. He went on to say that "We’ve been working toward it for some time already...but we want to be more humane and treat people with respect. If they need to take time off, they can take time off. Nobody will be frowned upon if this will be requested." Badowski also highlighted that there are personal motivations for this change as well: "We are getting older, and most of the people who are responsible for crunch, they have families, little kids, and they feel exactly the sa

The not so glamorous practice of crunch is one that has reared its head and come into the spotlight more than ever over the past year. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Anthem specifically have been called out for having particularly rough development periods, though there are many other examples. In a recent interview with Kotaku, Co-Founder Marcin Iwiński and Cyberpunk 2077 Director Adam Badowski highlighted that CD Projekt Red, a studio that actually has a notable reputation for crunch within the industry, is taking steps to ensure the work-life balance of the developers there is more sustainable and that crunch isn't mandat

I'm sure to the surprise of few, Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 is leading the pack this year with the open-world sim earning 7 different category nominations. Following closely behind is a pair of Sony first-party titles in God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man each of which received 6 nominations each. All three of these aforementioned games are also nominated for the highly-coveted Game of the Year award, with Celeste and Return of the Obra Dinn rounding out the categ

The collaboration with Barking Irons specifically also makes sense, considering the clothing line has built its brand on "peculiar American stories" - which _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is no stranger to - not to mention the fact that the ‘Barking Irons" name also extends into the world of alcohol with their bottle of 100-proof "Barking Irons Applejack," in which Arthur Morgan would no doubt happily indu

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

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
