GTA Online, Red Dead Online Celebrate Record-Breaking Month

GTA Online, Red Dead Online Celebrate Record-Breaking Month

, , , , 0

There was once a time when we’d hear about the next GTA almost immediately after the release of the last one. There was once a console that got to enjoy three GTA games in one generation. Unfortunately that was the PS2, all the way back in the early 2000s. Nowadays the money isn’t in sequels, it’s in keeping the present game going into infinity through services like GTA Online. Rockstar had a record-breaking holiday season in both GTA Online and Red Dead Online, and they’re celebrating with some big bonuses for players. Starting now and lasting through February 5, it’s possible to earn 1,000,000 GTA Bucks, and the following week, you can earn another million. There’s also a swanky new car — the Albany V-STR, and Double Rewards in Target Assault, Motor Wars and Deadline. Meanwhile, in Red Dead Online, you can pick up great gifts free of charge, including the Schofield Revolver, Varmint Rifle and the Devastating Ammo Bundle. The Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue has also been updated

Is There a Future for Grand Theft Auto Online?

Is There a Future for Grand Theft Auto Online?

, , , , 0

Since launching in 2013, Grand Theft Auto Online has gone from charming GTA multiplayer add-on to money-making juggernaut, netting Rockstar and publisher Take-Two Interactive hundreds of millions of dollars. Last year, former Rockstar North President Leslie Benzies sued Take-Two for $150 million in unpaid royalties. The lawsuit revealed that Grand Theft Auto Online has generated at least half a billion dollars in revenue just from microtransactions. To fans, that revelation also confirmed a longstanding rumor: GTA V wasn’t going to receive any single-player DLC because GTA Online was a cash cow. It makes sense from a business perspective. Why invest millions of dollars in 10-hours of additional single-player content when you can disperse similar online content throughout the year, and reap a fat profit? Rockstar moved the entire GTA V team over to GTA Online to ensure new content would continue to be released. In doing so, they confirmed they were committed to the long haul. If they chose, Rockstar could add to the GTA Online world for years to

Leslie Benzies, former president of Rockstar North and mastermind of GTA Online, has announced his own GTA-killer (in theory) to be created by his own studio. It’s titled Everywhere, and is supposed to contain…..everything. GTA Online was vastly successful, if a bit limited in scope. But with Everywhere, Benzies is trying to deliver the ultimate open-world game — one in which literally anything is possible. “Everywhere has a lot of traditional game mechanics, but we’re going for something more that draws inspiration from, well, everywhere,” Benzies tells VentureBeat. “Players are getting smarter and require more from their games, and we want players to have the real freedom to live in our worlds in the ways they want to. We’re aiming to offer a huge variety of game modes and styles that not only tell our stories but also enable players to live in the identities and adventures they most want to explore.” Sounds impressive — on paper. But the things coming out of Benzies’ mouth are remarkably similar to statements

While Rockstar have done an excellent job of keeping Grand Theft Auto V fresh and updated with a variety of new content since it was released, it has failed to deliver on a request from many fans who want story-based DLC.  The studio even teased news about story mode content in April, leading many fans to believe that new missions were on the way. However, that DLC never arrived and it now appears that the game might never see any additional content focused on the story. Speaking to IGN, Rockstar has confirmed that its sole focus is on GTA Online and on creating new content for the multiplayer portion of the title. “Right now our focus is on GTA Online which has exceeded our expectations,” Sarwar said. “We currently have all key members of the team that launched Grand Theft Auto 5 focused on supporting GTA Online in every capacity. The community we’ve been able to foster is massive, growing each day and we have so many ideas that have

GTA Online Heists Arrive Early 2015 It has been a long wait for many, with huge anticipation and expectation, but Rockstar Games have today revealed the official trailer for GTA Online Heists. Here’s the trailer (taken from the official PlayStation Blog); Grand Theft Auto V initially launched in 2014 on (at the time) current generation consoles, before the remastered version launched on next generation consoles only a few months ago, with the PC version to follow. GTA Online has been active from a few weeks following the games’ original launch, with one of the key features expected to be co-operative heist missions. Due to teething problems when GTA Online launched along with a host of other issues, and no doubt the work put into next-gen GTA V, the online heists have been much delayed, despite huge demand from avid fans. Thankfully, Rockstar has finally polished the heists up to scratch and is looking to unleash them on the world. GTA Online Heists will launch in ‘early 2015’ and will feature
