I don't want to know any more than I already do about the story itself. And i don't think we'll learn anything more. But I'm always very excited to hear about the gameplay.
Yeah same, I love learning about gameplay. I have to be honest, I'm not particularly interested in the story at all. Just me?

He looks like a dad. I was hoping for a cooler, more badass looking protaganist tbh.

We spoke on here a while back about this. I can't see the genocide of native americans for the sake of stealing land being a nice thing to put in the game, historically accurate or not. Maybe some conflict here and there or some semblance of trading as per The Revenant, but fights etc, na I can't see it myself.

Fair enough. I gave up on GTAO a long time ago,...maybe a year. It's just the same damn thing each time. If there's a new car they release, something i can't live without, i get on and buy it. Maybe I do a gang hideout. But that's it. Though i did just go looking for this godforsaken golden revolver for RDR2.
I do disagree though about the horse races. I can totally see that happening in RDR. As for Heists and Missions or whatever it will be, I think you won't have a problem finding people to play with for a long time. This game will explode and everyone will be doing them. But, like anything else, it will fade, and you may once again be waiting for more players to join your session. This is the way that this works.
Yeah maybe horse races might be a thing, cross country or something. Might be fun! I live on a Thai island so pickings are slim when it comes to available servers and online players. Ping to US or UK are just too big to be viable for multiplayer.
Having said that, up until the point where I got rid of my 360 in 2015 I was playing RDR SP a lot. Just wandering around, hunting, poker etc. I imagine RDR2 to have 1000x more things to do, and purpose for doing them (like hunting) so this will keep me immersed for ages.
I hope they have gambling in SP. I want to earn enough money to get away from everyone.

Yeah I would sure hope so. I mean what did they think? Players wouldn't grind on GTA to get loads of cash?
Also modding is a big thing in GTA, which I think won't be a problem in RDR2 as it's current gen only. Modders used to exploit the backdoor from (example) XBox360 to XBoxONE as it was a lot easier to mod files on a 360.

Because all efforts (North and San Diego) were focused on making this game. It'd be cool to have them split their focus after launch. San Diego works on SP DLC and North MP. Or vise versa. That will ensure maximum kick ass results.
True but that might create more of a divide like there is in GTA. I like the thought of it all being central, like the initial development of the game. That might mean it's less disjointed. Dunno, sure it will be good either way.
BUT.
One thing I'd like to mention is that most of my time playing GTAO is now just buying cars, driving them round for a bit then switching it off. I can never get enough people to join a heist, and if I manage to eventually get into one someone just quits and then we have to start the whole process again. The CEO missions are boring grinds and the adversary modes are just crap. The only saviour really were the stunt races, which I played a lot, but obvisouly we're not going to be racing horses now. Really not sure what aspect of RDRO will appeal to me. If I can get into heists etc and actually play alongside people successfully then it will be good, but if I'm in the same boat I am with most other online games, where there is no one within a thousand clicks of me playing the same game, then I think I might be pretty bored.

I prefer to game with more mature (older) players like myself so if you feel the same, I set up a Community on PSN called "Red Dead Redemption 2 - Mature" if you're interested. .....or send me an invite (just include a msg letting me know your from the RDR2 forum).
No offense to any younger folks on here. It's just that I'd rather game with people more in my own age group.
I'm probably old enough but certainly not mature enough for your group.

Do tell. How do you think it'll be intertwined?
Based on how GTA5 vs GTAO evolved, my prediction is that they will take what they have learned from that and adapt the experience for RDR2. What I am talking about is this:- When GTA5 was first launched, there was the promise of DLC. What actually happened was that this plan was scrapped and all development on the SP mode ceased. Online had map changes (additions of bunkers etc), new guns, cars, clothes etc etc. This tells me that (had they known this from the start) R$ would have developed the relationship between online and offline differently.
When I say that I there might not be an obvious divide between the two, I mean like GTA5. The SP mode has been left behind and is now totally separate from online, which I'm certain wasn't their first intent. If you remember, they were releasing cars etc into SP mode as well as online, all the way up to the introduction of Benny's, so that tells you that it wasn't part of their original plan to separate it.
Like I said, I think they will learn from that and online vs offline will be different to what we have in GTA. Not sure how they would do that, maybe you're already in an online lobby when you're playing SP, maybe there will be a single map for both online and offline and seamless interchanges between the two modes. Maybe in SP you can start an online mission. Not sure, but I'm betting it won't be the same as GTA.

Because I can't get enough of RDR2, I had a dream last night about it.????I was in the game but playing the early access demo and was met with a terrible bug in the game which I messed around with but then the character's face went all distorted (eyes popping out etc) and then I realised why the game hadn't been released yet.Did you have that thing where you wake up and think RDR2 was out but then your world is crushed 3 seconds later when you realise it was a dream

What am I missing here - you could ride horse drawn carts and even steal the 4 horse stagecoach in RDR1. What would be different with a covered wagon? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

I think online will be more intertwined with offline now so I don't feel there will be an obvious divide between the two.

I bought my mum a cheap version of an iPod once, basically just an MP3 player that looked like one. Where it visually looked alright the software was so terrible that I just ended up throwing it in the bin and buying her some slippers. That's where the chinese stuff falls down for me. They can make good casing molds but they can't program firmware for s***.

My mum bought me Horizon New Dawn and I thought I would get into it but I am not really feeling it and I feel bad because she bought it at quite a high price for me.
Always tell them you love the games they buy you. It's a big thing for a parent to buy a game for a kid as they are always terrified they are out of touch and will get it wrong.
Always lie.
Always.

I much prefer buying physical copies of games, personally. They're easier to sell when you don't want them anymore and our internet is so slow, it takes days to download games! I think we should still have the choice of what we want!
I moved to a Thai island a few years ago and it's virtually impossible to get physical copies of anything after Fifa 14 here so I am forced to get the digital download. I do like having a physical copy, the smell, unwrapping the plastic, reading the new inlay. All adds to the experience. Digital downloads are so impersonal.

I'm on the fence about whether I want to know more or not!
Finding these new special things is something I'd prefer to discover myself so these next few months are going to be brutal to endure.
It's a difficult thing. Wanting to know but not wanting to know. I personally don't mind learning about it, knowing that simply reading a feature is nowhere near playing the game.

I genuinely have not noticed the lack of children in video games. ????It never crosses my mind, but if they were added, it would be a bad idea for any 18+ video game that involves killing (often innocent) NPCs. As others have said, they would be deeply criticised and shut down by the media. People already have a problem with video games and their violence so throwing children into the mix isn't a good idea.
I have seen them in cutscenes but not in open play. Just too risky for game publishers.

Yeah but it would take 3 weeks to get here. Where I do like to have the physical copy, I don't like to wait to play a game.
