Red Dead Redemption PSN Social Club Multiplayer Event Recap Featuring Contest Winners and Fan Videos
Big thanks to everyone that helped kick-off a full weekend of Triple XP for Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition with our Social Club Multiplayer Event held on PSN Friday April 20th.
This was the last event on the Spring calendar before we properly inaugurate Max Payne 3 Multiplayer - complete with multiplayer Crews, Bullet Time® online, and non-stop Gang Wars and Payne Killer action beginning in just two weeks on Friday May 18th. In addition to that first live streaming weekend of official Social Club events, we'll also be online including players from all across Rockstar Studio and playing the game every day into June beginning on midnight Eastern of May 15th. We'll be announcing Gamertags and PSN IDs for that shortly beforehand - make sure you're following us on Facebook and Twitter for the word each day..
As for the Red Dead event on 4.20, each of our dev players got in there to mix it up with players in fan-favorite modes including Stronghold, Gang Shootout, Grab The Bag and Undead Overrun. Special shout to longtime Social Club multiplayer event participant ahetFIN who captured a great session of Grand Prix horse racing on video as you can peep in the below clip. Check the slideshow a bit later in this recap for a freeze frame from our vantage taken during the same race.
Later on, RedDeadDev3 was picking off enemies during Grab The Bag in Tumbleweed dishing out deaths to Easy--B, Mike_2472 and Koren-98-2011. But the reign on top didn't last long as JulianM44 came in and blasted the opposition away with some incredible gunslinger skills. Julian capped RedDeadDev3 with a Schofield Revolver a couple of times during this round, leading to agonied cries of defeat this side. Strong work there.
As the afternoon rolled on, we entered Chuparosa for some more Grab The Bag. RedDeadDev3 stepped in to save ol' ahetFIN by burying a few extra rounds into luis_arturo12. Least we could do, mate. By the way, everyone should check out LarsDK and ahetFIN's collab video post where they combined their perspectives to come up with a great video from a round in Thieves' Landing, viewable here. Also thanks to GTALAD4EVA for capturing the entire events page, to ferguson99 for this capture of gang match action and SOMETHINKDARK for this video showing some Grab The Bag. Thanks again to all of you that contribute these videos - they're always awesome to see.
