Recap & Screens: Red Dead Redemption Social Club Multiplayer Event on PSN (September 9th)

Posted on September 22 2010, 10:30pm | Author: R* Y | Filed Under: Games, Social Club


(RedDeadDev3, using character Jack Swift [included in the Legends and Killers Pack], watches his Tomahawk fly
through the air at stumblist during the latest Social Club multiplayer event for Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation Network...)

Thanks to everyone that joined us for an action-packed session of Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation Network September 9th, the latest in the Social Club Multiplayer Events Series.  Players spent the evening with us competing in multiplayer including all of the new features of the Legends and Killers Pack, watching the live video stream and participating in the flow of the Chatterbox.

360'ers make sure to join us on Xbox LIVE this Friday for our first live streaming Liars and Cheats Pack session, following this week's release of that highly-anticipated DLC.  We'll also be online on PSN playing it every day this week and beyond, so follow us closely on our Facebook and Twitter for the word of when we're going in.  Also look for our new October through December calendar of events to be announced before the month is out.

Read on for a recap of some of the memorable moments from the September 9th session, accompanied by screenshots.

Gold Rush in Fort Mercer was up on deck first, part of the Legends and Killers Free For All Matches playlist.  Damionjeremiah managed to win the opening Standoff, watching others fall while taking down stumblist.  Going after captures early in the match, RedDeadDev3stumblist and Supersnake000 all ran out of separate doors into the same area to go after the same bag.  Using his Sawed-off Shotgun, RedDeadDev3 shot and killed both of them, later capturing the gold.  Congrats to the winner KSA-SuL6aN-KSA who concluded with 22 kills, 15 deaths, 9 headshots and 8 captures.  Standoff winner Damionjeremiah placed second with 16 kills, 15 deaths, 7 headshots and 6 captures.

A battle in Río Bravo was next, and as with the last game it was another every-man-for-himself round, this time in Shootout.  Damionjeremiah once again claimed victory in the opening Standoff, landing head shots on Ac30f5pAd350-999 and I_AM_SANGHERA.  Later on, Slim-Boy-Fatty gunned down Ac30f5pAd350-999 right before taking a Tomahawk to the back from RedDeadDev3.  BlowDaGun ended with 1st place, scoring $1,550, 31 kills, 15 deaths and 1 robbed kill.

After spending some time in Hardcore Free Roam with vk-anderson, dj_monkey_monk, aldouille, Nofrag_OCBcrew and others, the Rockstars moved into team play with Hold Your Own in Manzanita Post.  After the Cattle Rustlers won the opening Showdown, MCDrank ran straight into the Miners base and took their bag.  Carrying it back was no easy task, but with the help of teammates djemel, barfon, JasonFrost and the four Rockstars, he successfully recorded the first capture... and minutes later, the second and final capture.  2-0.  Bravo for an absolutely stellar performance of 40 kills, 5 deaths, 23 headshots and 2 captures.

After a go at Gang Shootout in Blackwater and a few of the Cooperative Missions from the free Outlaws to the End Co-Op Missions Pack, we entered original Free For All Matches for Shootout in Las Hermanas.  Gathering for a Standoff around the center fountain, DelivernTheGoods lived up to the name and won by deliverin' the final blow to november3rd.  After all players spawned again, RedDeadDev3, using Legends and Killers Pack character Jack Swift, headed for the LeMat Revolver pickup, using it with success in the courtyard on RedDeadDev4 (playing as Pig Josh).  Blastbros (playing as Shadow Wolf) spotted the action from above and used his Double-action Revolver to blow away the Rockstar.  Spot on sir with that kill and kudos for taking top honors at the end of the round with $1,200, 24 kills, 16 deaths and 1 robbed kill.

Near the end of the day, our Legends and Killers Free For All Matches playlist rotated to Shootout in Blackwater.  And wouldn't ya know it... the winner from a few rounds before, blastbros, made the first kill during the opening Standoff, taking out RedDeadDev3.  However, RedDeadDev3 fired his weapon at the exact same moment, also causing blastbros to fall.  Yow.  The eventual winner of it all was wolvermax386_cl who got the last shot off during the match (R.I.P. misterherms), ending with 19 kills, 16 deaths, 7 headshots and 8 captures.  Ace.

Check below for a gallery of screens of just a few exciting moments during the event...

                  No time-limit in poker? WT! 10sec is all a player needs to make a decison. after that AUTO FOLD!
                  Some multiplayer shootout locations should have wild animals that you must fend off during game play.
                  And with the money you win in poker/dice, open a store so players with the same charaters can at least buy a change of clothes. (hats/boots/shirts... etc.. maybe someone could even use a credit card to put money in the multiplayer account to purchase store items... GREAT GAME R*!

                        I actually watched some of the live steam. I thought I was a great idea and it was a lot of fun chatting with everybody.

                        I'd also just like to suggest a cool idea I thought of. It know its prob. not possible to do this, but I was thinking of a cool new game mode. To have half the players spawn as humans and the other half spawn as animals, like cougars, bears or wolves. Have the humans hunting the animals and vice versa. You could disable the ability to lock-on to targets to make it a little more fair for the players who are using animals. Most of the animals move pretty fast so they'd also have manuverability and speed on their side. Since the bear is slower tho, you could do something like make it a juggernaut and boost its health. I just think it'd be really cool to run around in tall trees and take someone down as a cougar :)

                          Freeroam not Freemode.
                          Why a player can kill someone else (pacific) without penalty.
                          In GTA, the police must ensure the balance!
                          Why can not propose a duel?
                          Kill an unarmed man in the back!
                          Is it freedom?!?
                          In the west, there was also a code of honor!
                          Not in RDR?
                          Honor and reputation should be in multiplayer!

                                @WOLFMUTT

                                Thanks for all your comments. You should know I sent an email to Rockstar support. Here is there response to why they allow teammates in bag games, gang shootouts, and co-op to betray other teammates. Tell me if this makes sense to you?

                                FROM ROCKSTAR: "We understand your position and will take it into consideration. There are definitely pros and cons to allowing friendly fire in MP games. While it is true that a single player can grief teammates, this is currently allowed by the freedom given to players and removing friendly fire completely could limit that freedom. Of course, we also take community feedback very seriously."

                                To be fair, if I didn't think Rockstar listened, I wouldn't bother. Also, if I felt their games were crap as some noobs like to allege on here, I wouldn't waste my time either. I do think Rockstar is relatively fair. But they are definitely missing the boat on this one. They said allowing players that freedom to kill their teammates is why they haven't done anything!?!?! Huh? This isn't the U.S. Constitution. It's a video game. And to the end, freedom can sometimes go waaaay to far. That is why we have laws in our country. Should you have the right to yell a threat in a crowded mall and induce panic for the sake of freedom??? Of course not.

                                They asked me to consider the other side i.e. their right to be free to make that choice. WHAT BENEFIT DOES IT SERVE TO ALLOW OTHER PLAYERS TO KILL THEIR OWN TEAMMATES IN BAG GAMES, SHOOTOUTS, STRONGHOLD, AND CO-OP. The only benefit I could think of is to grief others. Now if you can think of another benefit, let me know.

                                That is a serious double-standard. Why? They took away the freedom for people to have the right to spawn kill you. Now I don't like spawn killing anymore than most of you do. But giving Rockstar the benefit of the doubt, they limited the freedom of players in free roam to spawn kill at will. Thereby adding another problem of 15 seconds of invisibility, limiting another freedom whereby we can defend ourselves. Their are two examples of freedoms they took away. Yet the problem of friendly fire being removed from PVP games can't happen cause they say it will limit freedom.

                                I ask you, does that make sense to you? Or do I smell a double-standard rising the trash bins of noobville?
                                • WOLFMUTTon September 23 2010, 12:53pmReply
                                  @Eastwood777 i absolutely agree. The game shouldn't need the friendly fire change, but the fact of the matter people are terrible creatures, and try to ruin anything and everything good. Also the re-spawn time on stronghold is stupid. I agree five seconds is reasonable, but it takes 3-4 seconds for that countdown to start, in that particular mode, those are valuable seconds.
                                  • Reidbynatureon September 23 2010, 12:44pmReply
                                    @R*. Any chance of a Manticore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manticore) mount for the Undead ---htmare DLC? I think it would be easy to adapt the Buffalo MP mount into a similar looking Mantacore. They seem to have a similar body shape.

                                        Whoever is tired of the following, please speak up and give your support. Rockstar supplied the friendly fire option in GTA IV. All we ever get for RDR is we'll take it under consideration. This doesn’t hold a lot of weight. That is not a dig on Rockstar. This game kicks a**. Rockstar is lights year ahead of other developers in terms of listening to fans. But even the best companies make mistakes. And this one we can’t ignore.

                                        IF YOU ARE TIRED OF THE FOLLOWING... VOICE YOUR SUPPORT.
                                        ARE YOU TIRED OF???

                                        1. Playing bag games and your own teammate hides around the corner or follows you and fires a sawed off up close, stealing your bag and claiming the stats for himself. This keeps happening all the time and many us no longer desire to play bag games though we love them. Why? Because why do all the work for some idiot to betray you and take the bag for himself. THAT IS WHAT GOLD RUSH IS FOR. A FREE FOR ALL GRAB THE BAG. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR IN HOLD YOUR OWN OR GRAB THE BAG.

                                        2. Quite often, there is always one person joining co-op matches who will only do it to shoot at his teammates. Sometimes it happens right when the mission starts, like some noob pelting your raft in The River with fire bottles. Other times they wait for the right moment and start blasting their own team with a cannon or something else. The same thing always happens as a result... people curse and scream... the mission fails from everyone being shot at turning co-op into a free-for-all. That is not what it is intended to be.

                                        3. Playing in gang shootouts where your own teammate just wants to shoot as many of his own teammates as possible. While screaming racial insults, f*g, and F**K You into their microphone. Isn't that what free-for-all is for???? It is designed to be you against everyone else. Gang shootouts is not intended for that purpose.

                                        4. Now stronghold has this problem with friendly fire. The other ---ht, one guy was mad he didn't get to the safe first. So once the guy got the explosive rifle out, his own teammate shot him just so he couldn't have the fun of using it to win the match. They proceeded to scream loudly at each other making threats and shooting each other for the rest of the match. This totally ruined the experience for the other players.

                                        IF YOU ARE FED UP WITH THIS TYPE OF NOOBISH BEHAVIOR... TELL ROCKSTAR. They will not doing anything about it until we speak up. There is no reason this cannot be fixed.
