Red Dead Redemption PlayStation 3 Official Social Club Multiplayer Event (July 13, 4-7 PM Eastern)

Posted July 13, 2010 at 4:00pm | Author: R* Y | Filed Under: Games, Social Club

 

Update: The event has ended.  Thanks to everyone that played, watched the stream and participated in the live chat.  Our next events are also for Red Dead Redemption, on July 23rd from 4-7PM Eastern for PlayStation 3 and on July 24th from 1-4PM Eastern for Xbox 360.

Join us today, July 13th from 4-7PM Eastern in Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation Network when we'll be hosting the latest event in the Social Club Multiplayer Events Series, part of our brand new calendar that takes us all the way through September.

We'll be holding a live chat as well as streaming the entire event on the Social Club Multiplayer Events page.  There you'll be able to discuss all of action as it happens as well as keep up with the modes we're playing as the evening moves along...

HOW TO FIND US
Start multiplayer from the main menu.  This will place you into a Free Roam lobby.  Invite at least one friend and form a posse.  Then enter the game mode being discussed by "SocialClub" in the chat.  We'll be playing multiple game modes during the event, including some Hardcore Free Roam.

HOW DOES FREE ROAM WORK?
Free Roam is the hub of your online experience.  Supporting up to 16 players, Free Roam allows you to explore with your friends and enemies, take out the gangs of outlaws or launch into more structured gameplay using the markers placed around the world.  We'll be forming posses and then heading into several game modes during the evening.

FORMING A POSSE
To start the game, invite your friends, form a posse and find Rockstar, follow these steps:

1. From the main menu, press 'Start' and then enter 'Online Multiplayer' by pressing the 'Square' button.

2. Once in a Free Roam lobby, press the 'Select' button to open the in-game multiplayer menu.

3. Press the 'R1' button and then the 'Triangle' button to 'Show Friends'.  Invite at least one friend into your posse using the 'X' button.

4. Once your friends are in the game, press the 'Triangle' button again to return to the 'Players' menu and select them with the 'X' button to 'Propose New Posse' or 'Send Posse Invite'.

5. Once you and your friends are ready to go, start up the game mode we're currently playing.  We will be starting in Gang Shootout.

Remember you must have one friend in your posse to play with Rockstar.  And as stated, pay close attention to the chat to know what game mode we're currently playing.

I couldn't attend one if I wanted to. They're always done before I get home from work. I haven't played in 3 or 4 weeks now. Beat the game 3 times. Online leaves too much to be desired. Really would've been awesome with some peaceful interaction as well as the fighting.

@UnkleOdin same here tried to get into any of the games for the whole duration of the event, but had no success. seemed like impossible to me or just you need a lot of luck or something.

@vince_42069 and others, thanks for playing, watching the stream and chatting earlier in the Red Dead event, see all of you next time.

@UnkleOdin Hey, let us know your PSN ID and we'll get you in on the next one on July 23rd.
vince_42069July 13, 2010 at 10:58pm
sweet guys, nice playing with you today! knifing you guys in the head whilst being rifled and/or sniped down by others. :) and later posseing up with you.. good times.. thank you so much for your kickass games and hosting these many events, also looking forward to the DLCs coming out. i gotta say though i hope these loading screen and whatever other issues are going to be fixed, because they are still occuring.. that is the only flaw i see in this game, if it was fixed it'd be perfect. GOLDEN. -the way i believe it was when i got it on release day
UnkleOdinJuly 13, 2010 at 9:24pm
I tried for the whole three hours to get in one of these games and never did. Probably cuz' the Devs know they'd get OWNED.
