Rockstar promising substantial GTA Online and Red Dead Online updates
Rockstar is adding even more stuff to GTA Online and Red Dead Online.
“…we know the community has been awaiting news of any updates for GTA Online and Red Dead Online and we are happy to share that both games will receive exciting new updates in the weeks ahead,” says Rockstar Newswire. All you cowboys out there can look forward to “a massive new update” on July 28th, while all you criminal urbanites will have a summer update.
Frontier spirit: The Red Dead Online update will include “a new Frontier Pursuit that will introduce players to the secrets of naturalism as part of an all-new Role, plus a new Outlaw Pass, tons of community-requested features and fixes, and much more to play and discover in the months to come.”
Crime spree: The GTA Online update will offer “a fun mix of diverse new content from the game’s massive array of experiences to enjoy.” That’s, uh, pretty vague but at least Rockstar promises to crack down on harassment and cheating.

Daily Fact
Left 4 Dead cannibalised one enemy to feed four others their iconic threats
Turtle Rock Studios cut one enemy type from co-op classic Left 4 Dead: The Screamer, which seems to have been a pretty tough customer.
The Screamer’s core characteristics live on in the other special zombies. Boomers can attract the horde with their bile attack, while the Witch became the enemy that needs to be avoided. The Hunter inherited the ear-piercing scream, while the Jockey got the maniacal cackle.
