Hi Dan, there hasn't been anything released about this yet. Have you tried contacting them via Twitter? Sometimes they come back.

Not sure if you've seen any of the trailers but there is a vast array of predators, new and old.

Dead eye also. Personally I've never been a fan of dead eye. I always felt like it was a bit of a cheat.

Yes this was confirmed a while back.

You studied in Wolver'ampton?

That's basically it. It's not really a question of "Why didn't John talk about Arthur in RDR1", it's more a question of "How are R$ going to explain the fact John didn't talk about Arthur in RDR1".

Other people talking about this.

Any possibility that these are on current gen vs next gen?

But not more important than picking sage though, I may add.

We can't ignore the fact that John didn't go after him in RDR1. For me there are only 2 possible reasons for this: He died in this story. He made his peace with John, ie helped him. The second one sounds much more like what R$ would do. Have Arthur help John, then leave the gang. This builds your bond with the protagonist (as who wouldn't like someone who helped John Marston) and it would explain why John had no beef with him in the end. Having him die would, like we've said, be too predictable.

R$ even actively encourage griefing by highlighting you on the map when you're doing missions. They say in RDR2 you won't appear on everyone's map unless they are nearby, but judging by the "LOOK EVERYONE, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO EARN $20,000 SO THEY CAN SAVE UP FOR A RESKINNED $3m SUPERCAR THAT GOES 120kmph" way they do things now I can't see them being anything BUT that in this game. I stand to be corrected.

You could get a job breaking horses whenever you wanted.

Knowing me I'll do 2 run-throughs of the story to try both. First time will be help.

Yeah maybe John doing it would make us like him less. But again, the main protag dying at the end of the story seems a bit obvious so I'm starting to think it's just not going to happen.

I've done some more thinking on this. It's been a while since I played RDR1 storymode but doesn't it start with John at Bonnie's ranch immediately after the "left for dead" event? My guess would be that RDR2 story will lead up to that and include it, so continuing to play as John wouldn't make sense, as that would take you straight into RDR1's storyline.

I'd be interested to see how many copies of RDR1 have sold this year since the RDR2 hype train began. That would give a good indication of how many are new to the franchise.

IMO whether something is overrated is subjective. I am a hardcore football fan (soccer to you) yet to people who aren't, football is overrated.

I really like how everyone comes out and watches the fight

Not one shot from first person view. Reason to think it's not in? I loved the thought of riding a horse in first person and would be disappointed if it's not in there. Anyone heard anything about this?

Seeing this trailer I'm not sure he will be playable. It's difficult to believe they will have him there all the way through the story mode, knocking around your camp and sitting by your camp fire and then have him suddenly playable. Although it would be a big twist that R$ could introduce. I just dunno.

They are different for every person based on your history, so it will have been showing because you watched it in the past or a similar video.

BTW not sure if you noticed but they were on a boat when they were fishing, so I guess it's confirmed that you can travel in boats.
