So after re-playing some GTA V again (yes I know I should get started with Undead Nightmare again and also finish up INSIDE) I was thinking about what it would be like if we were able to swim in the next iteration of Red Dead Redemption. I think it would be nice to at least swim across the surface instead of dying as we did in Red Dead Redemption but I'm interested to hear what you all think.

Thanks! Yeah these days I'm mostly a PC gamer with some PS3 thrown in every now and then (mostly when I want to replay Red Dead Redemption or The Last of Us). I haven't picked up a PS4 just yet as I've been waiting for the right games to come along as "system sellers" (aka I'm a cheap bastard) however Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us 2 are going to quickly change that.

Thought I'd start something up here to help make the wait a bit easier. The idea of this thread is to list any sweet deals that you come across for games that we can play while we wait for news and eventually a release of RDR2. First Sweet Deal that I found is for PC gamers. I found this over on GOG (I'm buying it later tonight): Little Nightmares (pre-order, coming April 28th) + Inside (play now) for $19.99 https://www.gog.com/game/little_nightmares Immerse yourself in Little Nightmares, a dark whimsical tale that will confront you with your childhood fears! Help Six escape The Maw – a vast, mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking for their next meal. As you progress on your journey, explore the most disturbing dollhouse offering a prison to escape from and a playground full of secrets to discover. Reconnect with your inner child to unleash your imagination and find the way out! Official site: http://www.little-nightmares.com/

Aye! I've taken the game and played it with a few family members (using real dice of course) and was thinking about how it could possibly be played via a forum game of some kind. Would probably take a few rounds to work out any kinks but I think it would make for a fun game.

After reading up a bit on this it looks highly likely that they'll be there to announce something together with Sony. I personally hate exclusivity of any kind and from what it says over here makes it look like they will have exclusive content (well at launch anyway but at least only for online content): So probably not their own stand or anything but hopefully something worthy.

I know it's rare on consoles but if it was to be an always online only game I'd not consider buying it at all. I want a nice meaty single player campaign with an online mode that I can dabble in if I really want to. Also since I'd probably be buying a console mostly for RDR2 and possibly for The Last of Us 2 I really wouldn't want to also have to fork out for their online subscription service in order to play the game.

Howdy Cowfolk So I got back to thinking now about some of my favourite moments in Red Dead Redemption and one of them was playing Liar's Dice. We often play it with friends and family that come to visit and it's just a wonderful thing to see how different people place it. This made me think that it might possibly make for a good forum game (although probably slower than most) where we could get a group of 2 to 5 people going that play game over a few days (as we're in different time zones and such). However before we start such a game I think this post is more to try and get a feeler for the interest in a game like this - obviously it helps to know how to play it (not quite sure I know and apply all of the rules as they were meant to be played with from Red Dead Redemption but I'm very open to learning the proper rules). Take a look if you haven't before and then share your thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRI_Yvze2ms There are of course a few more clips to view out there but I figured it would work something like this: For new games: Wait a day at most for anyone interested (at least two players with "dealer" up to a max of five or so players). Have a mod or chosen forum member that isn't going to participate generate random dice rolls for each player (this would be the "dealer"). This person would send the roles of the dice per player only to the appropriate player. This way there is someone making sure no one else cheats and they'll know the roles of every player. Example: Player A, B and C take part with Player X being the "dealer" which we will name D. D generates the following roles for each player (so five dice per player to start with) and also decides on the order in which the players will play the game (for simplicity lets say Player A, then Player B followed by Player C): - Player A: 3 x 1, 1 x 6, 1 x 4 (only known to D and Player A) - Player B: 1 x 1, 1 x 2, 2 x 4, 1 x 6 (only known to D and Player B) - Player C: 2 x 1, 1 x 3, 1 x 4, 1 x 5 (only known to D and Player C) Player A plays first and might call "two ones". D doesn't have to do anything at this point, only player B can perform an action: - Call "Spot on" meaning that Player B thinks there are exactly two ones in total. Requires D to check and announce the result of the hand. - Call "Bull Shit!" meaning that Player B thinks there is no way that two ones are on the table. Requires D to check and announce the result of the hand. - Call a higher bid such as "two twos". D doesn't have to do anything at this point, only player C can perform an action which then will play out in a similar fashion to this round. I can elaborate more if required and flesh out a full example but I just wanted to know if anyone would be keen on something like this? It might take a day or so before one of the players plays their hand (perhaps we could introduce an "auto pass" rule if an expected player hasn't played their hand) but I still think it would be fun and maybe after a round or two others would also want to take part?

Thanks for the welcome all! Looking forward to enjoying some RDR2 news (and moments when it finally releases) here with fellow Red Dead fans. Luckily I do own RDR and Undead Nightmare on PS3 still (with two functioning slims after my poor phat/fat boy died several years ago) so I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play through it. I recently finished another play through of the main game early last year so I'm thinking that maybe now is about as good a time as any to start with a fresh play of Undead Nightmare. Will start sharing my experience as I play through it.

Hi Everyone Glad to have found a place to talk about RDR2! I've played the original countless times (but never finished Undead Nightmare which I should probably get around to before RDR2 releases). I'm hoping for a PC release as I don't currently own any of the newer consoles but am willing to reconsider if it's my only option. Looking forward to some gun-slinging!
