Battle Royale...and more (enjoy with salt!)

Pretty interesting info that I stumbled on over via reddit.

So what you you chaps reckon?

According to the notes, Red Dead Redemption 2’s online component will feature ‘Battle Royale’, ‘Revive and Survive’ and ‘Money Grab’ modes.

It remains unknown whether Battle Royale will operate in a similar fashion to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or Fortnite, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Rockstar hopes to capitalise on the popularity of those two titles.

Revive and Survive pits two teams against each other as they try and stay alive. You’ll have a limited amount of time to revive your teammates before they are eliminated.

Finally, Money Grab features two teams fighting to procure bags of money in a central location. You’re expected to collect and return them to your base as quickly as possible.

I've not played any of these modes myself ever before (probably the only person that doesn't own PUBG) but it does sound like online would be more interesting with these sort of modes.

Also from the article:

Apartments from GTA Online will return in the form of tents which can be owned and upgraded by players. These are purchased in the open-world and also come in a variety of different themes.

Vehicles in the game will include minecarts, handcarts and horse-drawn carriages. These come in different variants such as armoured and fast ones, although we’re unsure if you can customise them yourself.

Let's see how the info pans out in the next few months!

Just saw a link posted up on Reddit.  You can see that they apparently received the memo back in August but didn't want to release the details since they were not able to substantiate it.  However, with more recent details / screenshots release more recently by R*, they feel the information is now legitimate enough to share.

 

I think they've got something there.

Well... This sounds like something Rockstar would do so I would not be surprised if it is legit.

I never would have considered minecarts as vehicles but okay.. haha OH and tents!? TENTS!? Why can't we buy a farm!?

Even a room in a building would be better. A tent just makes no sense. Like maybe for starting out when you are poor, fine but it sounds so vulnerable!

"themed tents"

I do hope this part of it is BS.

I like my fried with salt so I consider this fries. They sound like a good idea but after you eat them, and overeat them... You regret them. I hope I don't regret these. As mentioned, the tents thing sounds like a meme.

Ehh not sure I like the sounds of this. I don't want things to become cheesy or anything. The tent thing makes sense but at the same time, how you going to avoid being shot, robbed, etc. by other players behind a piece of cloth?

I liked my fries with salt. 

If things get announced and any of this comes to pass as being factual content in the game, I will be really surprised. I am a bit late to the party here but I have not seen anything else on this since it was supposedly "leaked".

Give it a little more time. I am guessing we will get some news on online stuff in May or June. More likely June because of E3.
