Howdy strangers. You can call me "Skunk." I've been quite active over on the Friday the 13th: The Game forums - which, heartbreakingly, is currently dying a slow, gurgling death. So, here I am! The only other game to perk my interest the way that one did was the original RDR. So I'm quite jazzed about this one, especially the multiplayer aspect. Any advice or suggestions for a newbie? (NOTE: If it includes a hand gesture or my mother, I'd like to politely decline in advance.) See ya in the badlands, - Skunk

I loved hunting in RDR but the problem for me was that it's difficulty ultimately depended on how difficult you made it for yourself (traveling on foot, using free aim, using a slow firing weapon etc) and I'm hoping Rockstar adds more of a challenge to hunting in RDR 2. They didn't put a huge emphasis on hunting in GTA V but they did give you a device to mimic deer/buck sounds and you had to stay downwind of a dear or buck to insure it wouldn't be alerted to your presence and this made hunting quite realistic but at the same time very limited. I despise IGN but Rockstar saw fit to show them and some other "game journalists" a demo of RDR 2 back in May as you probably know but if you haven't seen IGN's video recapping their experience yet, it's worth a look. Skip to 7:13 to hear their impressions of hunting in RDR 2.

Hey Benjo, Is there a way to include some sort of indicator that could show what platform these clubs are established on (e.g. PC, PS4, XB1)? As it is right now, I have no idea how to determine that. Unless everyone includes their platform in their title, I don't know how folks will be able to tell. Thank

I think they will be symapthetic to the time. They've gone all out on realism so I strongly doubt they'll go against that.

I hope they keep it all authentic. It'll really ruin the experience for me if i have to see people running around in neon green boots and orange zebra stripe jackets with pink rifles.

I do wonder how far they will take it. Like if you can actually pick different colors for the items instead of just wearing the same item in the same color as other players. Would be cool if we get like a choice of maybe 6 to 12 different shades depending on the item of clothing or accessory.

The sheer fact it's been confirmed that you can buy individual hats tells you that full customisation will be available.

I imagine they will have the Marston family tree as an option, so you have to feel bad for the other ones who will literally never get chosen. They probably put the work experience kid on developing those knowing no one will ever look past Marston.

I don't think Rockstar would take customization a step back like that and if you study the description and images there's a few clues that make me believe they'll be interchangeable clothing. "The Blackrose Bounty Hunter Outfit features a long oxblood-colored coat, a vest with gold pocket watch chain, and dark pants tucked into chocolate leather boots." Rockstar's description of both outfits state that the outfit "features" these pieces of clothing instead of saying something along the lines of, The Blackrose Bounty Hunter Outfit is comprised of a long oxblood-colored coat etc. It may seem like nothing but Rockstar pick they're words quite carefully. Also, this image shows an Online character wearing what could be described as "a fur-lined saddle-brown leather waistcoat with pinstripe blacks pants" but the whole outfit doesn't match the full description, he's not wearing the "two-tone gloves" and is wearing a hat that's not in the description given. "The Copperhead Enforcer Outfit features a fur-lined saddle-brown leather waistcoat, two-tone gloves, and pinstripe black pants tucked into black leather boots."

I’m sure we’ll have all sorts of customization options. Anything less would be a step back instead of forward.
