Red Dead Redemption 2 General Chat

[#SadCowboy]

I liked it myself. I just mentioned that in the thread for it. I don't think there is any fault in being excited about the game right now. Are you referencing the delays? There is such a small chance of that happening again.  

[VICKSUN]

I don't get how anyone can still be worried or butthurt over the delays. Yeah, they happened, get over it. No offense you guys or anything but I see a lot of people still complaining about it. We have like what? 5 months to go? It will move fast. 

[DiamondDave]

Anyone have any weird theories they been thinking about since the latest trailer was shown? I was thinking of a few different things. I'll make a thread for one of them. Just curious if anyone has anything jogging around in the brain about the game now.

I thought it would be something if we get to know more about Abigail this time around. I mean in the last one, we only knew a small amount about her. So maybe seeing how she and Marston met would be cool. 

[Hazed0NE]

I really don't have any theories, just ideas on what may or may not happen... I realize that is the same thing after typing it... lol

I think we have enough information now between the trailers, IGN, and the general text to know what kind of game this is going to be....

A DAMN GOOD ONE!

Not sure why it didn't give you the video for this but here ya go. I will check it out in a bit. I am guessing it is another breakdown of the trailer yeah? 

[Looney Dan]

Man guys. With all the new information, I am not sure what to think but based on what I have read, watched, and heard from people who tested the game... HOLY BALLS! This game is going to be freaking amazing!

[HIGHHorse]

Yeah man I am excited more now then when I heard about them making the game. I think having seen enough of it made it a bigger deal for me.

The waiting has been nothing compared to how I feel now. So many people have brought up such amazing theories online that this game is going to make my 2018 lol

[DiamondDave]

I think my excitement comes in waves. Some days I don't even think of the game and then other days, I obsess over it. I have a lot of things planned this summer so I will keep busy.

I wouldn't say it would make my year but it will be a part of my fall that I really enjoy a lot

I have a lot going on and have already done things (went to London with my sister in March) so this won't be the only thing that makes 2018 great for me.

At a recent press event at Edinburgh a number of gaming outlets were shown a demo of Red Dead Redemption 2, revealing gameplay elements to which the general public hasn’t been privy to. Alongside the details already revealed by the new trailer and the various impressions posted by English language publications, a French outlet has posted an interview with additional details.

JeuxActu spoke with Rob Nelson on-site, who is the Co-President of Rockstar North. Rockstar San Diego is the primary studio working on Red Dead Redemption 2, however Rockstar North is also in on the project, and is the main studio of the company. While there is a clearly limits on what Rockstar wants to reveal about the game and when, meaning nothing groundbreaking has been said, there were a few new slivers of useful information.

In the interview, which can be read in full here, Nelson confirmed that work on Red Dead Redemption 2 started basically the moment that Red Dead Redemption went gold. This means that for a full eight years now, Rockstar has been working on this game. Now, I don’t say it’s been in development for eight years for a reason, because technically the concepting and prototyping phases aren’t part of development as we understand it.

Nelson said that while work started in earnest once Red Dead Redemption was released, some of the folk over at Rockstar San Diego already began concepting a sequel for the game before development on the original even finished. He also stressed that the company made the most of those eight years – which brings up the question of why the game needed to be delayed for “polish”, but then Rockstar has a reputation to uphold.

The influence of Grand Theft Auto 5 was often brought up in the interview. Even though GTA 5 is the first Rockstar title ever to be released on the current generation of consoles, that was a port of a seventh-gen game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the first game developed specifically for the then-next now-current generation of consoles.

This, according to Nelson, allowed the team to implement the lessons learned during the development of GTA 5 without restrictions. Due to the hardware limitations, a lot of the ideas that went into GTA 5 were reeled in and multiple elements of Red Dead Redemption 2 will be what the company wanted to pack into GTA 5, but couldn’t because of inadequate hardware.

This is most apparent in the interactivity of the game world.

GTA 5 is notable for how proactive and alive the game world feels, and how it is content on continuing to exist and thrive even if the player doesn’t affect it. Many game world are just there to react to the player’s actions, but Los Santos keeps things interesting on its own.

It has been used for simulations, for driving AI development, and one experiment even tagged camera angles to NPCs to show how much goes on without player input. Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to go even further, with the frontier being the closest thing to a real world and ecosystem as games have ever gotten.

Naturally, Rockstar is super secretive about story details, and Nelson made sure not to slip up any crucial information – but we did learn an interesting element about protagonist Arthur Morgan’s past.

The personal bodyguard and right hand man of gang leader Dutch was compared to John Marston and Nelson expanded on how different the two characters are. In doing so, he revealed that Morgan has been running with Dutch since he was a small child and is this utterly loyal to him.

Now, we don’t quite know how old Dutch and Morgan are, but based on appearances alone they can’t be too far in age. I’d say they are just about the same, but then Dutch is very well kept and regal-looking, which might make him seem younger than he is, while Morgan’s rugged and rough look might make him seem older. But even then, only a couple of years should separate them.

Thus, if Morgan was with Dutch as a kid, then they very well may be childhood friends, and Morgan may be a founding member of the gang. Nelson didn’t go into further detail on purpose.

He did reveal two gameplay elements though – Arthur’s hair will grow dynamically over time and he confirmed with concrete words that there will be no other protagonists in the game. This is Arthur’s story and he’s who we all will control, no one else.

Red Dead Redemption 2 launches on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on the 26th of October.

Guys,here is a compilation in the latest RDR2 trailer...there are actually GALLOWS in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbZcoFZdH78 …

[VampireKrush]

You mean we will see people getting hung? I thought that there was a bit of that in the last game or am I thinking of a different game?

Yeah it was but not in detail. I don't know as to what extent they will show it or use it in RDR2 but I am interested in it. It is something I always thought was strange when it came to dealing punishment. Similar to beheadings. It would be cheaper, easier, and cleaner to just shoot the person in the back of the head. 

[Reyes]

How soon you guys thinking before we see more on the game? I know most people are saying June but I think they can hold off till mid to late July if they wanted to.

I'm on the boat with June just because it is a good month to advertise for it or start anyways. It has always been a good month be it for adult-oriented games or children's ones. This is of course for summer and fall releases.

If we do get another trailer in June then I would expect a 4th at some point.

Most likely. I'm sure they'll also have a multi-player reveal trailer of some kind closer to release even if online won't be ready by release just yet.

[D3x]

While I am curious to see some multiplayer action, I am sure you are right. We won't see anything about that till way late into the summer, possibly early fall even. 

[DarkShark]

It is funny how they release something new and there is all this buzz again with the game and then out of nowhere, nothing to talk about again. I hate this ups and downs. lol

That is how things go with everything, not just video games. When you are waiting on something to come out or be released, any shred of news or updates on it will get people talking until everything has been said and then it just gets quiet again. Wait until the game comes out, this forum will be LOADED with people talking about the game daily. Watch.

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.

I have had strange dreams like that when I was really excited to see a movie or something but never a game. Heck, if I had any kind of dream RDR2 related, I wouldn't want to wake up and ruin it.

Haha yeah, it was good for the brief time it lasted. Would've been cooler without the bugs and I could just play around in RDR2.  I don't think it's my first game related dream!

[ChrisCr0ss]

An RDR2 dream? That is the first time I am hearing of this. I could see people having dreams after having played the game but never before its release. You must have a very creative mind. I usually don't have dreams at all, at least now ones I can remember.

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

[elmZ]

I feel like waiting on this game has been like waiting on my damn horse from RDR....

Yes, it was heartbreaking.
