The game comes out tomorrow night. Yesterday, I watched maybe 10 minutes of the game total. Of course, I rewatched it over and over again for like an hour. I haven't seen any story missions, or seen any characters other than Arthur for that matter. What I have seen is, again, 10 minutes of Arthur walking around a town in the early game. I saw him go into a gun store, stay at a hotel and take a bath. I also saw some of the people walking and working, and I saw some of the mountain views. Holy lord is this game immersive. It was one of the first leaks. Luckily the Russian kid who posted it didn't put in any spoilers. All I have to say is that the game feels more like a movie than a video game. In 3rd person anyway. The camera angles coupled with Arthurs movements make it feel like a real person moving around in the world. I also noticed how fluidly small cutscenes integrate themselves as transitions. If you go into a bath you see a cutscene of Arthur opening the door and getting in the bathtub -- and it's so fluid. And the MUSIC! It's modern electronic, but made to sound western and it just fits in so... Fluidly. That's really the only word I can find for this world. You know it's a video game, but it feels like a real place. It's like nothing I've ever seen in a game before. I'm honestly really interested to see if this cinematic feeling stays throughout the game. Either way, the leak got me hyped, but I saw a few thumbnails later on yesterday that felt way too spoilery, so I decided I'm gonna wait it out until tomorrow and avoid these leaks like the plague. I hear there are HOURS of gameplay out there now. The last thing I wanna do is watch a cooking video and find myself staring at a video title spoiling the end of the game. Stay cautious guys.

Indeed yes, married for 46yrs come Thursday 25th .. so, out for dinner in the evening, back by midnight in time for the 12.01am release of RDR2, told her I will be playing all night .. she is cool with that ...

Whoa. Are you guys all the same person or is it coincidence you all joined 23 minutes ago? This forum is exploding now. Lot of noobs.

The jokes write themselves. I don't need to be coarse and vulgar on this one.

WRINKLY BUTTED KNIGHT !!!!! How very dare you sir, I will have you know, every wrinkle in my butt was hard earned, have some respect for a gaming senior citizen ... tut tut, youth of today ....

Quite tempting. But seeing as my copy will arrive in two days, I'm going to save the nuances and surprises until then.

Time for bed. Literally feels like Christmas eve.

I'm getting really psyched about this! Just hoping I get it this weekend, I'm leaving for Texas EARLY monday morning. If I have my copy in time, I'm taking my xbox! ( @Cokeyskunk - I just found out I may have a lot of free time on that trip)

So i pre downloaded red dead 2 and came back and the next time i logged in it had disappeared. I redownloaded it and everything was fine but has this happened to anyone else?

Happy RDR2 Day! \o/

I had a friend who worked at Gamestop, they didn't used to get them several days early. If they was lucky the got them same day as a release. Maybe they have changed since he worked there, but this is getting ridiculous. Especially, if Rockstar themselves are releasing it to customers this early.

Hate to say I don't believe these guys but all four joined with just a few minutes of each other (8:21, 8:24, 8:25 and 8:33 pm). .......just like you pointed out @CMcC. I also haven't heard anyone else around here (or elsewhere) bring up this issue that has a history on the site, etc. that I feel I can trust as a source. Paint me skeptical unless we start hearing from reputable / official sources.

I won the Forum Giveaway (thanks again @Lonestar!!!), so I'm waiting for a physical copy... I just hope I get it in time, I don't mind having to wait all day for the download as long as I'll be able to play it the rest of the week. Otherwise I'll have to wait until I get home, which may get pushed back if we need more time... The suspense is killing me!

I need someone to explain to me how this makes life easier or the game any more enjoyable. I already have the controller in my hand, the map and stats, everything is right in front of me on the TV if I want to find it. Why would I ever want to download an app for it? Now when I want to check the map I need to drop the controller, pick up the phone and open the app? No.

Too little too late ... I am butt hurt ... Butt thank you for the huge respect, now put it back in your pants ... Wish there were more emoji responses, I have several self created ones on discord ....

This is raw footage 18 minutes long of Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay. Depending on what you consider to be a spoiler, this gameplay doesn't involve story missions. However, this gameplay includes interacting with people, shooting, riding horses and trains, hearing people talk and feeling the atmosphere of the game. If you do not wish to see this gameplay, please leave this thread now. If you really want to see this game in action before the game comes out, and you want to see the basic mechanics in the game and give you a little taste to get you by before release, then here is a video capturing Red Dead Redemption 2 in all it's glory.

Only issue is Hotels are renowned for cheapskate internet..

Marriage goals.

You become more and more awesome with every post I read!

My father-in-law never misses an opportunity to remind me of this.

I'm already halfway there! Edit: I'll let you decide which half.

I'd rather it be airdropped in by hot air balloon

You can bloody sleep all day that's why!

So @Lonestar gets to play it first, right?

I played Leisure Suit Larry once.

Have horse will travel .. thats the name of the company you call for your horse .. it arrives on a wooden wheeled low loader

From what i've heard/picked up from the various previews, your horse will stay where you left it and you will have to go and retrieve it. You will only be able to whistle it if its within a certain radius of you. The better the bond you have with your horse, the wider that radius is.

From my experiences it is all about the presentation. It won't make you a better gamer, but it will give better visuals if you are into that. A friend upgraded for The Division and told me that I needed to do the same. I went over to his place and saw it. I still don't see the need for the upgrade, yet!

Seems bad that to play a game on your PS4 or your Xbox. You need a console, controller, headset, some use discord, cell phones, tablets, and PCs. All so you can a video game for 60+ hours.

I turn 22 this Friday, I was 13 when Red Dead Redemption came out and I've been waiting for another Red Dead game ever since so I hope this new installment proves to have been worth the wait. I'll add you next time I load up my Xbox.

I have a 4K tv, but I don't have a PS4 pro. I still have the year one PlayStation 4 that released in November 2013. It doesn't have any problems so there's no point in me buying a pro. So I don't know if there's difference.

So, that would make you 22 yrs old, wonderful age, full of vitality, tight skin, dark hair, all your teeth .... BUT ... you have to work etc, me I am retired, I can game all day everyday if I choose to, and often do .. lol .... here's hoping the long awaited sequel is all we hoped for, see you are xbox, feel free to add me

As I am xbox I cannot truly answer your question ... but ... I went with xbox 1x (scorpio limited edition) on day of release, I used it for several days with my old monitor, wasn't sure myself about 4K either, a friend told me what a difference 4k made to his gaming, decided to bite the bullet and buy one, I went with the monitor, research told me TV's could add up to 20 or 30 milliseconds to the lag, monitor I have is a 1 millisecond delay.. wow, what a difference, main game is Destiny2 atm, 4K blew my mind ... highly recommend the upgrade, its worth the $$$ or £££ ....

Damn, I didn't think there were this many old gamers on the forum and I'm glad to see there's people triple my age also looking forward to Red Dead Redemption II.

Not heard of it happening to anyone I know either ... just the three spooky people that materialized all at the same time with the same issue ...

Please. Don’t everybody answer at once.

This frightens me and I do not like it.

It happened to a couple friends of mine. They ended up calling support and were able to redownload it.

ya. had to watch netflix in 480p for 4 hours while it redownloaded

Ditto, arcades in the 60's consisted of pinball machines, that was it, but they held a fascination I never got rid of, my first home had one... I found it at a cafe that was closing, hours and hours of fun, but free cause it was mine ...lol

So so true ... In fact, over here in the UK, retirement homes have started to install game consoles for the residents, it has been proven that gaming (with a controller especially), is improving mental agility, eye hand coordination etc in the older generation ... Which reminds me .. need to check out the local homes, see who has the best connection speeds .. happy to supply my own console too, as long as the other old farts keep their hands off it... lmao

I want to play this game. (I made this. It sucks, but I wanted to see it) @Truth - was Darkwatch kinda like this?

Hello to all Im new to the site and Im also looking for people to ride with. Ill be playing the game on both consoles (Xbox One X and PS4 Pro). OGTKCole [PSN] OGTKCole [XBL]

I take my role-playing seriously.

Nooo, I meant in the game, not while playing it!

Speak for yourself. I'm going to be a functioning alcoholic.
