when did the first online game come out
History of online games In 1984, CompuServe debuted Islands of Kesmai, the first commercial multiplayer online role playing game. Islands of Kesmai used scrolling text (ASCII graphics) on screen to draw maps of player location, depict movement, and so on; the interface is considered Roguelike. At some point, graphical overlay interfaces could be downloaded, putting a slightly more glitzy face on the game. Playing cost was the standard CompuServe connection fee of the time, $6 per hour with a 300 baud modem, $12 for a 1200 baud modem; the game processed one command every 10 seconds, which equates to 1​2⁄3 cents per command.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Red Dead Redemption 2 was developed by Rockstar Studios,[13] a collaborative effort between all of Rockstar Games' studios functioning as a single team,[14] using the proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE).[15] Woody Jackson, who co-composed the score of Red Dead Redemption, reprises his role.[4] The game was announced in October 2016.[16][17] In the two days prior, the company had used various social media platforms as well as their own website to release two teaser images in the color and theme of Red Dead Redemption.[18][19] The teaser images led to considerable attention and raised the stock price of its parent company Take-Two Interactive by nearly six percent.[20][21] On the day of its announcement for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, some fans started petitioning Rockstar Games for the game to be made available on Microsoft Windows as well.[22] Per an exclusivity agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment, certain online game content will be timed exclusives for the PlayStation 4.[23] Originally due for release in the second half of 2017, the game has been delayed twice: first to Q1/Q2 2018,[24] and later to October 26, 2018.[25]
