We'll see when you break down in tears and don't go out for 3 days after your horse gets injured and you have to put it out of its misery

I think it's safe to assume Rob Wiethoff will be voicing him too, as everything around this has been hush-hush so far.

I do this for FIFA games but for RDR2 it would be crazy for me to wait even a minute longer than I needed to.

The ideal for me would be optional difficulty levels. As a task to replenish your camp I wouldn't want hunting to take more than a few minutes, but if I was bored it would be nice to ramp up the hunting difficulty so that it can take half an hour or more to quietly track a deer, then eventually position yourself for a shot. I imagine the adrenaline would be pumping by that point because if you missed then your whole time tracking would be a waste, meaning you would have to get the perfect shot.

I'd put RDR1's multiplayer as average at best.

Think how many peds there are in GTA online. Lots. Change ped to animal and you will have lots of animals in RDR online.

Option 1.5 which is just gonna buy it on day of release without booking the day off work.

The bait in far cry was too successful. Every time you threw it a predator came so it was way too easy. I hope hunting is more difficult in RDR2, or at least with a 'settable' difficulty level so it can provide more realism when you want it.

Also known as GTA Online

Can probably assume that it will all be very similar to how GTAO works.

Yeah, I heard there will be crafting in the game so maybe this could be an activity in the camps/tents, so rather than just clicking a button and shazaam the thing is made you have to actually spend time doing it.

Any thoughts on what these things could be?

Can it be hand delivered on horseback?

Camping isn't a thing in open world games, right? Not the gaming definition specifically. I think what you are talking about is different - where a gang is chilling in their camp - you asking can someone come and take over that camp by force? I doubt it. R$ knows there needs to be some kind of safe place and if you can't go to your camp without the threat of being ambushed by some 12 yr olds every 10 minutes then that will get real annoying real quick.

Digressing slightly but what was there to do in your apartment? I was bored within 30 seconds.

Customisation is a massive part of a game for me and it always surprises me when somebody isn't bothered about it. I'm surprised.

Highly doubt there will be tracks. FC Primal had one of the most detailed hunting mechanisms and you couldn't track prey for more than 20 metres or so (unles you wounded it first where you could track the blood). Although I would like it, I don't think the hunting function in RDR2 will be that comprehensive, opting more for a simpler and easier way of finding your targets. Remember in RDR1 there was no way of tracking an animal at all but you could still hunt easily enough. I'm expecting a slight improvement to that but not all the way up to a hunting sim.

I'm 90% convinced and 0% bothered that there will be a PC version.

It is for the benefit of R$, and he directly covers why in his opening 2 sentences: "I think a healthy degree of paranoia and insecurity about releases is probably a good thing. I'm fond of saying that arrogance is the enemy of continued success. "We don't believe in our success until we deliver it. We never claim victory until it's occurred. We have very powerful, smart, capable competitors bringing great products to market and we need to win - that means we have to work harder than the next guy." He continues: "I don't think this is a numbers exercise around attach rates - I think this is a question of how phenomenal is the product, and does it capture people's attention and imagination? The answer is clearly it's going to do well, but it's very difficult to say how well. It's going to be a big success, but it's a question of how big?"

Na your purchases are logged under your PSN account, same for XBL. You just login on your new PS4 and download them again.

I would be getting digital wherever I lived I think. Although I like the experience of opening a new game and having something to look at, within a few days the disk and box and everything inside it just becomes a pointless ornament, never to be looked at again until it comes time to sell it for $0.50.

Battlefield V also. I won't be buying that purely because RDR2 comes out the same month.

Yeah this was my first thought, but it would be way too open to boosting for them to even consider it.
