CowBoii Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I remember back when the rumors first started, I was one of the guys who fully believed we would be playing as at least 3 gang members. The way GTA V was done convinced me of this. I know there were some interesting theories floating around at the time too that convinced me even more. What are some things you once believed about the game that ended up being untrue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I could reel off a list longer than my arm for GTA but I'm struggling to remember anything that was leaked about RDR2 that hasn't come true. Maybe battle royale mode but that seems more of a decision not to do it than a false rumour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail2ThaKing Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Spoiler ^^ but they haven't announced anything about online, and honestly with the size of the map, a battle royale mode would definetely be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelnick from Take Two seemed to indicate that they were not really interested in a BR especially for the sake of it as some others are doing. .....but he also said he wouldn't rule it out. It would have to be something special. I guess we'll have to see when they give us more information. I have a feeling if they do have BR, it will be in a different form that what folks are used to. Personally, I could do without it if it means resources are spent elsewhere making RDO a better, less toxic experience than GTAV:O was. .....focusing perhaps more on co-op than aggressive PvP.

jACKx Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 You mean rumors and leaks? Not much was leaked but there were plenty of rumors and speculations. They were mostly fabricated and thought up by the general fanbase so I really didn't buy into a whole lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SadCowboy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Before anything was said or even hinted at, I thought we were going to be playing as John Marston. Like a younger John. This could have easily been the case given the story but I am kind of happy we have someone new to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YodaMan 3D Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 At one time, there was a rumor that we would be playing as Jack from the time he grew up till the old west dies. At the time the story was you would be Jack, who was continuing the legacy of John and all those gangs that John stomped out would want revenge. I was so scared that would be true.

I didn't even know there was a rumour that Red Dead Online would have a beta, guess that one turned out to be true. I'd heard the BS rumour that Red Dead Redemption II would have us playing as John Marston's father, I dunno why anyone who played Red Dead Redemption would believe that rubbish.

Don't give them ideas for RDR3!! I do not want to play as him for an entire game. I had my fill and it was enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireKrush Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I believed the game was going to come out in 2017 and that ended up not being true. So there is one thing. I think that one got a lot of us lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's via train, randomized, chosen before the match, etc. It also doesn't need to be a cookie cutter BR mode. It could be an entirely different spin on BR. Either way, I only mentioned it because most other things from the big leak seemed to have come to pass except that. Personally, I have little interest in BR in RDR2 or in general. I have no idea how they would have implemented it if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to free yourself before you can start fighting. Just start everyone around the perimeter of the map on horseback, randomly spaced apart, or have preselected spawns but random assignments. To drive everyone closer together, have either tornadoes or wildfire closing in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that changes with this entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YodaMan 3D Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 To be fair I only did that once, but to my defense. The players in there was already waiting for a fight and I was trying to hit another player and a NPC got in my way. So I missed my target and guns were pulled before I could do much else.
