I don't know why they need to claim exclusiveness... they're the ****ing developer, not some fan site or commercial website like IGN or gamespot.
 
Krynn, you rope his hands, I rope his feet. Then we ride in opposite directions.
Will be bullshit if you can't.

There have been recent case studies that have shown that use of the word, "exclusive," in a headline will greatly increase your fanboy page views, fanboy clickthroughs, fanboy time on site, and overall fanboy awareness for your brand.

I guess it takes a special kind of person to get motivated by the word "exclusive". Well, I mean except for relationships.
 
Today Krynn gets an exclusive sneak peek into his '93 Buick Regal while he drives to work!

Good thing I don't have to play RDR with you guys on PS3... I'd never hear the end of that.

;( I won't be able to play with you guys and not hear the end of that.
 
You guys are all nuts.

It's exclusive because it isn't legally published anywhere else. Exclusive, to make people want to visit their facebook page, where they can keep you abreast of all the latest news and developments.
 
In this thread Virus gives his exclusive explanation on exclusivity!

If they make a PC version, they better include gamepad controls that work like the consoles. Because it will be bullshit if they don't.

I'm going to murder each and every one of you when I get the game. Except for the PS3 people. They're spared until PC version comes out.

EDIT: Man, after reading about that horse technology, I'm excited to experience how it'll be in game.
 
I'm a man of honor. I voted the good thing on all of them except the poker. I picked to cheat on that.

EDIT: reddeadredemption.com is currently down. Hmm weird. I wouldn't think it'd go down due to small updates like those planned for today.

Occasionally doing the right thing? Hmm, was it shooting a fleeing criminal... and the lawmen chasing him, or beating the ass of a guy talking shit, instead of a 10 paces showdown?

Today, we are very happy to unveil some of the Red Dead Redemption features that will await you at the Rockstar Games Social Club come May 18th.

For two years now, the Social Club (www.rockstargames.com/socialclub) has been our private club for players to track their game progress and stats, compete on leaderboards, unlock exclusive game content, and take part in official multiplayer events with live stream and chat.

Red Dead Redemption continues in that tradition and takes things to an entirely new level with a revamped website and seamless integration into the game itself. From within the in-game menus, you will be able to easily register for Social Club and automatically link it to your Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network account. Then when accessing the Social Club website, you can complete your account and unlock 7 exclusive cheats right to your game.

exclusive "Guns Blazing" cheat (ability to shoot bullets that could set your enemies on fire).

lol at that cheat.

More info at the link.
 
Joined these forums last week and they're a pretty good place to pick up news and stuff. They are linked to the RDR Wikia which already has tons of information. One of the joint projects is this thread where people are trying to piece the map together. It gets updated regularly and currently looks like this:

FullSizeMap.jpg

That is a two day old version so it doesn't include the (smaller) third part of the map that was leaked earlier today.
 
The only bad thing about those forums is that people have ****ing lengthy animated gifs in their signatures. ****ing ridiculous.

One dude has a god damn 5+ meg signature containing game video footage. It's like holy shit, is that really necessary?

Yeh that sucks. Luckily you can turn signatures off in the User CP. I know I have. :)



Also, there is news about the Social Club features of RDR, including exclusive cheats:

We’ve stockpiled a collection of exclusive cheats that will only be accessible by Social Club members who complete a series of special challenges. The first of which, available at game launch on May 18th, will be the Pike’s Basin Challenge. To unlock this challenge, Social Club members must beat the "Justice in Pike's Basin" mission early in the game and complete the "Pike's Basin" gang hideout by helping rancher Errol Hewitt defeat a gang of ruthless cattle rustlers. Social Club members can then take on the Pike’s Basin Challenge – face off against the rustlers and:
• Kill 3 enemies in one Dead Eye burst
• Drag a gang member through the basin (by lassoing him on horseback)
• Kill all enemies while on horseback
Completion will post your best time and medals attained to a special Social Club Challenges leaderboard – and garner you the exclusive "Guns Blazing" cheat (ability to shoot bullets that could set your enemies on fire). Stay tuned for many more Social Club Challenges to be revealed at the Social Club after game release.

Not to piss on your campfire, but I'm pretty sure you can't use the lasso in multiplayer. (Which is totally bullshit.~)

I don't know why they wouldn't allow it. They could have changed it so that when you lasso somebody you merely drag them prone and they break free and get up... kind of like a short stun instead of a complete debilitation with you free to do whatever you want with them. Kind of like just cause 2 and yanking npcs to you. And on NPCS and animals and stuff, it works normally.

That's what I'd hope for anyway. Rockstar is smart, I can't imagine them completely removing the lasso from multiplayer... that'd be such a big blow. At the very least, it'd be able to be used on non players.

Second time I've heard that today, and second time with no source.
 
Freeroam is just a copy of the single player game so why wouldn't you be able to use the lasso?
 
Haha yeah I picked that one. Got the worst score possible.
Just that I whouldn't leave her there to die if you know what I mean.

Because freeroam GTA IV isn't a 1:1 copy of singleplayer GTA IV. I'm fairly certain they'll allow using of the lasso, albeit with restrictions against players... either with a very short lasso time or a way to break free from it. Nothing would be worse than being lassoed and nothing you can do about it.
 
Technically, getting it on Amazon I got it for $40.
 
Why the hell is that riverboat broken down at dock, is what I have to wonder.

a whole number of reasons, as much as any as to why it could be broken down anywhere.

let's run with a bandit blew it up before it set steam.
