Red Dead Redemption 2 received a massive update for its online mode last week. The new update contains fixes for bugs and some improvements in the game style along with fresh contents. As the online version of the game is still in testing mode, developers are keen to add new contents every week to attract more and more players. And now a few hours ago, Rockstar released a huge update for the online version to make it more enticing. The update was set to be released on 05/03/2019 and we hope that you are already downloading it.

What’s new in the Update:

Red Dead Online latest update will feature many new things including a brand-new weapon and some roaming events. The weapon is basically a remake version of a famous gun from part 1 of Red Dead Redemption series. You will find new events now, in case you decide to take a stroll in the attracting world of Red Dead Online. Also, if you play the game anytime this week, you will receive a free care package.

New Weapon: Evans Repeater

“The Evans Repeater is a powerful long-range rifle that’s known for being in John Marston’s arsenal during the events of Red Dead Redemption. The Evans Repeater has a high bullet capacity and is deadly at medium and long distances, with an especially high rate of fire. It also has customization options like Stocks, Sights and Wraps – to make this an essential part of your character’s weapon inventory. You can pick one up now directly from the Rawson, Wheeler & Co catalog or at any Gunsmith.”

Fool’s Gold

“You always need to be prepared to go out in a blaze of glory, but a little armor can delay the inevitable. This is the idea behind the Fool’s Gold Free Roam event. Fool’s Gold is the latest addition to the rotating roster of Free Roam Events, a selection of special competitive game types that periodically invite you to participate as you roam across the world of the Red Dead Online Beta. When you opt-into a Free Roam Event you’ll automatically join the event location before it begins. Like all Free Roam events, Fool’s Gold is a quick and easy way to jump into some fun competition and rack up a little extra XP and cash. It’s also a great way to quickly complete weapon, kill or combat-related Daily Challenges without attacking players in an open session.”

You’ll fight other players for a Golden armor in Fool’s Gold. Players who’d wear the armor and kill enemies will receive extra points. Also, if you kill an enemy player wearing the armor, that will also grant you bonus points. When the player, wearing the golden armor dies, anyone can grab it and the fight goes on. Players can enjoy Fool’s Gold as a team event like other missions in Red Dead Online Beta and you can play it solo mode too where every player fight for himself.

How to join Fool’s Gold:

Joining the Fool’s Gold event is pretty sample. Whenever the event goes live, it will display a notification to the leader of every team playing at the time. If the leader decides to join-in the event, whole team will be connected automatically. Obviously, you can join the event in solo game whenever you want (provided the event notification pops-up).

Other News:

If you find Fool’s Gold a little hard to play, don’t worry, Rockstar got your back. There are plenty of other events that are included in the new update.

Cold Dead Hands: Similar to King of the Hill, you fight to maintain control over a given spot. Player will the longest time wins.

Competitive Challenges: Players are given a random challenge to compete against each other. One who will have the most points at the end will win the challenge. Right now, you have to compete for Bow, Headshot, Horseback, Longarm and Sidearm challenges only.

Dispatch Rider: Leaders are assigned with the task to deliver a message at a specified destination. First one to deliver wins.

King of the Castle: Pretty much like Cold Dead Hands but, you literally get a hill castle in this event to compete for.

Master Archer: This challenge is designed to test your shooting skills with the bow. Shoot as many targets as you can in the given time.

The new update also includes a free care package for whoever plays the game during the whole week.

Google Announces ‘Stadia’: A Cloud-Based Gaming Service

Published

We all know Google as the search engine, YouTube, Gmail, Maps and of course their tracking our movements and all that jazz but they are bringing something else into their portfolio, something Big. The company announced a Gaming and entertainment service named ‘Stadia’ at GDC 2019, a cloud-based game streaming service. The concept is not new by a long shot but when a company like Google announces it, it becomes legit and a big deal.

The Service

Any game that is available on the service is yours, allegedly and theoretically. No matter the hardware, as long as you have a screen that has an internet connection such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, tv etc.

Running high fidelity games, and upcoming titles, the services requires so much juice at the back end to make this service viable. To which, Google has come up with a spec sheet for their cloud units which can easily compete with a fully decked out gaming pc out there.

Let’s check out the specs shall we:

GPU – 10.7 teraflops – 56 computing units – HBM2 Memory

CPU – Custom x86 Processor – 2.7 GHz – Hyperthreaded – AVX 2

Memory – 16GB RAM – 484GB/s transfer speed – L2+L3 Cache of 9.5MB

Now let’s get some perspective from the current benchmarks.

Google compared the stats on stage, PS4 Pro runs on 4.2 teraflops while Xbox One X stays capped at 6 teraflops and the rest can be balanced from here. In plain words, these units that Stadia with custom AMD GPU can easily leave a current generation console a run for their money and matches PC is terms of speed and quality, at least in theory.

While people with consoles sitting in their living rooms thinking about the new generation machines to come out with better internals and better games, Google is trying to change the game altogether.

Google claims that at launch, gamers will be able to enjoy 4K resolution with 60 fps with HDR and better quality surround sound. Not only that, similar resolution and fidelity will be translated into streaming the game live on YouTube channel will be possible. All of this sounds so promising and a gamers and streamers dream. In future, the stats will move to 8K at 120 fps but there is no solid word on that front.

It sounds ridiculous to any PC gamer who hears that the streaming service will be able to run the titles in 4K while most PCs today can’t do that but imagine if your game can’t run in 4K but the servers a lot you a secondary unit and now you are running the game with not one but two gaming PCs. This however requires back end support from the developers to allow such a thing to happen, but I am not certain if that will be possible right from the get-go.

Stadia controller is something I am really interested in especially if it will connect to multiple devices including mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, or even consoles. The controller looks similar to DualShock by Sony but with a cleaner look and two new buttons: Capture and Smart function. In case you are not interested in buying yet another controller and find a place to charge it, then you can use any controller you want as long as it connects to the internet device running the Stadia app or service.

The caveats are two major ones with this service; it won’t be available worldwide and you require one heck of an internet connection to play and stream the game. If you can surpass these hurdles and Google is able to deliver on these alleged perks then this will be the new gaming benchmarks and may end up reforming the industry.
