According to scans form the latest Playstation Magazine, Red Dead Redemption may have the “greatest multiplayer lobby in the history of video games.”
Apparently the lobby will be the actual wild west setting from the game.
Rockstar Network has the latest scans from Playstation Magazine describing the multiplayer lobby in Red Dead Redemption. The lobby looks like a “wild west MMORPG” where gamers can walk around and talk with NPCs and live gamers.
Here are some of the highlights from the scan:
Create a "posse" and roam freely about the map Engage in hunting wild animals, to hunting other gamers
ad hoc missions (like besieging a desert ranch filled with bandits) Gain experience points which can be used to customize appearance and upgrade horse, weapons and "title" Unlock new multiplayer modes like the standard 16-player deathmatch and team based "capture the bag"
It all sounds fantastic, and almost sounds like its similar to something that’s already out there. I think I like the bit about engaging in hunting wild animals or hunt other gamers.
