Party is over for now guys.


You can't play it offline.
I tried putting my console in offline mode and I got a message saying I needed to be online when I tried to play RDR.

I can still play mine offline? I didn't allow the patch to go thru though. Maybe that's what the patch is doing?

People are excited about being allowed to play a game they already own.

Here's the thing thou, it's not just about playing the game. It's also about gaining functionality like taking screenshots, Twitch streaming etc...

A testament to the quality of the game.

 

[iMax]

 

[blue_phazon]

Yup. The main selling point for me is playing games I never got to experience. Currently playing through The Witcher 2 and loving it

 

[CalamityPixel]

Wow, it's not even an official release yet.

I guess it also proves how much people love RDR.

 

[Zeta Oni]

414%!!

 

[Theorry]

R* should put in the game in the sale again asap. If its gonna be 5 bucks again they gonna make alot of money. For doing nothing really haha.

 

[Chris1]

So the disc version is being unlocked today? Did you guys read that news too?

It's a Sunday and chat support know absolutely nothing.

[quote="LightOfTruth, post: 194499833"]Xbox One owners are lucky, This game is a true classic.

Considering how RDR looked on last gen consoles, can you guys even imagine how amazing the sequel will be on current gen? I am beyond hyped.[/QUOTE]
Game will look amazing no doubt, Rockstar always make amazing looking games for what's going on in it IMO. GTA V looked amazing, I still can't believe that thing could even run on last gen consoles.

I wonder how it's gonna sell after the beast that is GTA V.

 

[LordBaztion]

a game getting into BC should be followed by a sale on the Xbox Store for sales to benefit publishers.

 

[oti]

waiting for the GWG month with free RDR to promote RDR 2

Spoiler

I didn't like RDR

 

[Xbudz]

This is great news. Hopefully Microsoft can get the Xbox 360 store integrated with Xbox One sooner rather than later.

They are really leaving money on the table at this point. All the games have store pages too. I wonder what's holding them back.

Red Dead Redemption Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Frame Rate Test (Pre-release)

[The Albatross]

Definitely interested in seeing some screenshots taken using the internal screenshot system. I've always wanted screenshots of this game but because it was never released on capable hardware, never really got them.

360 vs XB1 frame rate comparison

Outside of town Xbox One is a solid 30 where xbox 360 sometimes dips to 28-29

But inside of the town if there are many buildings on screen Xbox One goes down to 26 fps

hmmm

hmmm

Probably because of vsync. So it has no screen tear.

 

[Chitown B]

But I thought "it runs just like it did on 360, but better"? (Actual E3 conference quote)

Installing now btw but the shit performance puts a damper on my excitement. I might aswell play the PS3 version with Dualshock 4.

X1 forces VSync which can cause poorer performance.

 

[Nameless]

Watching The Revenant made me start re-reading Blood Meridian which has been giving that RDR itch. Might go ahead and fire it up on 360 with GAF.

hmmm

Maybe they can still improve the experience. I mean it hasn't even been officially released yet so I feel it's a little early for this.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I knew it would go down like l4d2 did. Hopefully the official release is soon.

 

[The Albatross]

For the first 5 mins of that comparison vid, X1 consistently out performs the 360, being basically locked at 30FPS while 360 dips a few times. But then after 5mins in, when riding into town, X1 version goes between 25-30 while 360 version is mostly stable, dipping but not that low. During cutscenes, 360 drops to 20FPS while X1 sticks at 30. During the first shoot out, X1 sticks at 30 while 360 dips a bit but not much. Late in the video, X1 performs worse during some gun fights.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Would not surprise me if these accidental "leaks" are being staged for hype.

*Somewhere else in the world, Phil Spencer hands a copy of the amazon picture above to a rockstar exec and stares intently into their eyes.*

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

Did they really pull the game? How come? "Leak"?

 

[AgentOtaku]

lol, awesome

 

[Chris1]

It wasn't supposed to be released yet, which is why you had to use a weird workaround and why the DLC didn't work yet.

What this means is that it's almost certainly going to be BC at one point, hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

[Kordelle]

Anyone else wondering if there will be a Superbowl Ad with all these titles and the unlock happening right after that?

 

[blame space]

it's pretty crazy that they're pulling this off

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Microsoft is not going to waste a Super Bowl ad on backwards compatibility.

Hmmm, I could see Microsoft paying $5M/30 sec. to advertise to dozens of millions that Red Dead Redemption and Black Ops are available only on Xbox One. Obviously they wouldn't get a boatload of return on that, but it would give the BC feature a massive exposure and boost.
I doubt it would happen, though, but those two specific games, maybe. With any other games, probably not.

 

[Anarckhy]

RDR should be up later on today and discs will also work. Credits to GTAOnlineNews on Twitter. BTW this was a chat convo with Xbox Support.

Maybe that was the condition from R* to give the ok

[paolo11]

Great news. I love RDR. Best part is DLC will work per Xbox support.

You realize the marketing budget for a new AAA release is about 20 million and a minute of Superbowl ad time costs 10 million?

It could explain why this was ready on a Saturday/Sunday.
Still highly unlikely lol.

Sony better get on with porting this to the PS4.

I don't care about the "code held together by gaffer tape" (an actual statement by some dev about their convoluted and troublesome time developing the game). Just do it, make it happen.

I want to replay this badly on my PS4 because I don't have money to buy a Xbox.

Just wait for RDR3.

360 vs XB1 frame rate comparison

19 fps during shooting session on Xbone. Really?

For the first 5 mins of that comparison vid, X1 consistently out performs the 360, being basically locked at 30FPS while 360 dips a few times. But then after 5mins in, when riding into town, X1 version goes between 25-30 while 360 version is mostly stable, dipping but not that low. During cutscenes, 360 drops to 20FPS while X1 sticks at 30. During the first shoot out, X1 sticks at 30 while 360 dips a bit but not much. Late in the video, X1 performs worse during some gun fights.

I see that X360 dips mostly in cut-scenes ( and during horse riding @3:00) where Xbone is more stable. But after in video, gameplay is a different story on Xbone.

 

[blakep267]

This is nowhere worth a super bowl ad. I expect to see a QB, Uncharted 4 and a Division commercial but BC lol no

The only way that it's going to happen on PS4 natively, is if Rockstar themselves port the game over to the console like with GTA V & with the GTA Trilogy on PS2 Classics.

They'll most likely give us a sequel instead.

 

[jabberwocker]

It's emulating the prior console and people expect magic?!?

 

[darkinstinct]

I see that X360 dips in cut-scenes where Xbone is stable. But gameplay is a different story.

19 fps is physically impossible on Xbox One. It's running at 20 fps with minor dips to 15 in that sequence, it's what Vsync does.

Well, since I'm still waiting for a new Bully, I probably shouldn't hold my breath for this.

Rockstar will go where the money is, and it is, right now, on countless instalments of GTA and random updates for the online portion of it.

 

[Fortinbras]

X1 forces VSync which can cause poorer performance.

I hate this so much. I wish there was a setting which allowed games to run like on the 360, without forcing vsync.

 

[velociraptor]

Backwards compatibility doesn't add improvements to the games, it runs them exactly how they did on the 360, the only technical difference is that Xbox One forces V-sync. This is not a remaster release.

But resolution/framerate is the easiest way to improve a game with a more powerful system. Happens with PC games all the time. Thought the more powerful XBO would improve the framerate at the very least. Too bad.

 

[PaulLFC]

Seems I was too late

Downloaded "RDR" which has the RDR boxart, but launches Hexic instead.

Emulation != Remaster ;-)

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Thats pretty cool. Kudos to the engineers at ms!!!!

I never played it so i kind of hope it becomes a gwg or a bc addon when rsr2 comes out
