I'll admit it, Red Dead Redemption did not last as long as we'd hoped. Even with the vast world, our short attention spans could not hang on to this western title. I think the following news could drastically change this. Rockstar has announced some DLC that is going to change the way we play Red Dead. I'm very excited for all of this new content, and I hope you guys will be too.
Here is the DLC (my commentary in red):
Legends and Killers Pack (Releasing beginning of August 2010)
New active map locations, characters and more:
* 9 New Multiplayer map locations — more than doubling the amount of territories in the Multiplayer Competitive modes
* 8 New Multiplayer characters— play as characters from Red Dead Revolver
* Introducing a new projectile weapon: the Tomahawk, with corresponding Challenges for single player and multiplayer
* New Achievements/Trophies
* Pricing: $9.99
(The Tomahawk sounds fun, and I can't wait to see the new multiplayer characters. Worth the price? Maybe.)
Liars and Cheats Pack
New Competitive Modes, Multiplayer Mini-games in Free Roam, and more:
* ‘Attack and Defend’ Multiplayer Competitive Mode and Challenges
* New Multiplayer Horse Races complete with mounted combat
* Play as the heroes and villains of Red Dead Redemption as well as 8 additional multiplayer characters
* Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game
* Introducing a new weapon: the Explosive Rifle, with associated Challenges available in single-player and multiplayer
* New Achievements/Trophies
* Release date TBC
* Pricing: $9.99
(Again, can't wait to see the new characters. Online gambling... THANK YOU ROCKSTAR! Worth the price? I think so.)
Free Roam Pack
Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with new Modes, Challenges and Gang Hideouts to discover:
* Additional Free Roam Challenges
* New action areas and defensive placements
* Posse Scoring / Posse Leaderboards
* New ‘anti-griefing’ measures in Free Roam
* Release date and pricing TBC
(Posse leaderboard/scoring sound pretty cool. Worth the price? Tell me what the heck anti-griefing is!)
Undead Nightmare Pack
Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong:
* Brand new single player adventure, Challenges and quests
* 8 New Multiplayer Zombie characters
* Additional animals unleashed in the world
* New Dynamic events
* More details to follow…
* Release date TBC
* Pricing: $9.99
(Zombie characters? New animals? Dynamic events? Worth the price? FUDGE YES!!!)
