Red Dead Redemption 2: Discussion & Speculation (Part 1)

[SuperKitsune]

 

 

 

Next week is the week of weeks to release info after countless weeks. I'm with you.

yaaaa bro like im not even hoping, i have this legit feeling inside, as if i could predict the future and this being one of them. Im big on law of attraction and tend to have an energy where when i feel somethin is going to happen, it does.

You read "the secret"? damn right man. I dont mean to change topic but just to politely answer your question with a good answer yes i love it and i have seen LOA happen for me many times. Including recently when i got invited to audition for AGT I got a longer set time than i was supposed to and impressed everybody w my rapping, and I also scored an interview with the producers 20 mins after i said to my mom "i want to try to interact with the producers of the show to see what would happen" after 3 people politely saying no on interviews, as i walked away and they said they appreciate my ambition, a girl with a giant camera even larger than me came up to me and was like "hey do you want to do an interview with me? We could use some footage for the news and possibly the show as it broadcasts" i was blown away.

Yeah i own the book too, i don't agree with every part, but it has some interesting ideas that it presents. Congrats on the interview.

As January comes closer to an end, no news.

 

 

Yes hahaha, the famous wii episode is totally in place here.

Amazon listed RDR2 to July 12, everyone Maybe Think "this its Just a placeholder" i agre but...

 

the date (July 12) would be, in particular, a very special moment. Since on July 12, 1861 the famous cowboy William Hickok would have been involved in a shooting with three men. It was from this day on that he came to be known as "Wild Bill", creating all aura of "Old West".

Just look at the comments6 section, it's bigger than us. We aren't the only muhf*ckas wanting news. It's just a waiting game, i believe we are in good hands. But R* if you let me down I'm only a train ride away from your fancy little HQ. Don't make me pull up wearing a Red Dead T-shirt and camp outside protesting until I get some information.

Oh yes ... I would come along if I wasn't much more than a train ride away but maybe there are some volunteers here ...

 

I would like a video or pictures of your let-us-out-of-the-drought demo ... please also from the stupid faces behind the windows of the R* HQ

R*: Who let these freaks out?

 

haha ... sh*t... if I imagine that ...

I think I would pay to see that.that would become legendary!

Strauss Zelnick has said that releasing games during the summer is a bad idea. July is in the summer I don't think it's coming in July.

I can't stop watching the trailer. A lot of members here are really optimistic and that has me excited!

same bro just watched it on my way home. I cant help it im sk f*cking hyped for spring its ridiculous. I have potential to get on americas got talent and to play the game i love the most and have been waiting on for years.. couldnt ask for anything more. Im also super hyped to see some of the posts on here of the tech for red dead. It makes so much sense that they put a lot of their budget in the game rather than marketing... just think how big thats going to turn out... Edited January 19, 2018 by damienrayemusic

When? Because he definitely said in an interview regarding RDR2 that “For a title like this, I don’t think the launch window really matters”

[damienrayemusic]

I get the chills every time i watch both trailers. Especially the 2nd one.. so masterfully put together. Concise and to the point, builds suspense, and as usual.. THAT f*ckING MUSIC THOUGH AHHHHH red dead and rockstar games soundtrack in general

And he also said "consumers will buy year round if its a good product in the market" i dont think its coming out summer or fall though. Im stilll one of those last minute spring 2018 release date is coming kind of people in this forum

[SuperKitsune]

Same here, i never get tired of those trailers. The laid peaceful first one and the exciting second one. "Ain't no such thing as civilized" gets me everytime.

[Bigglo145]

if each of you guys keep saying each next week is going to be the week we get info/news then one week one of you are bound to be right

[damienrayemusic]

yes!! That line and then that epic crescendo and alligator scene. For me the major hype/ bit of chills start at the "maybe when your mother is finished mourning your father, I'll keep her in black.. On your behalf" is my favorite line. I go hype overload once we hear "do you have my back..."? Always dutch... then the red dead redemption II logo pops up for the last time with the fourth wall break shooting at the screen, i smile and feel cold everytime ar that part thats when it just hits me like holy sh*t how is this even real, what.. give me john marston and then i will just lose it. Ugh the feels Edited January 19, 2018 by damienrayemusic

definitely!! My money is on me and superkitsune being right about our feeling of next week something happening! Never been so excited for my birthday but also want it to go by fast just to see the week unfold. Lmao

Couldn't agree more. They're masterfully presented. Arthur is already a legend from one freaking trailer.

lol honestly next Thursday is about the ideal time but we're also running out of weeks so we'll see.

 

In terms of summer releases and whatnot, I very much doubt it. One thing to consider that could impact things, it has done in the past but also hasn't as RDR1 weathered it, is that the World Cup is this year from June 14th to July 15th.

[SuperKitsune]

I agree, i think next week some info will be given. I'm not even saying a trailer or screenschots. It could also be a short tweet that more info will come the following days. But at least we'd have confirmation by R* then.

I think they could tease us/ announce something next week and then release that something on February 1st. Just a wild guess.

Yeah, it's definitely not farfetched. Next week we'll know something more.

I don't think that statement should be taken too literally, it does matter. It's not people won't buy games during the summer, it's just not an ideal time slot to release a game.

 

I think we are still good for spring. May. June is possible, but realistically only the first week.

 

I hope it's gets released in June. You'd think by now they would gives us something since it's been more than 120 days since the second trailer. If it gets delayed again, it'll probably be released in Fall 2018, making it a 1 year delay for it's release.

[damienrayemusic]

So with all that being said, while waiting for next week, I'd like to know people more.. what are your favorite games?? List a few, if this isnt ok then I expect my post will be deleted but im taking a shot at it to initiate friendly conversation other than speculating. I assume everyone here loves video games and I know we are all obsessed with red dead&rockstar games but other than that whats a list of a few of yours? Its hard to narrow it down.. For me its The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, Bloodborne/Dark Souls, Uncharted series, TLOU, Mortal Kombat, Hitman, Horizon Zero Dawn and any horror games.. especially silent hill &resident evil

Most recently, until dawn. (tried to put one from each genre) i could name SOOO many fav titles but off the top of my head these stick out most. Red dead of course is number 1 for me.

Hey..about the second trailer. What i don't get..if you go to the part where Dutch asks Arthur "Do you have my back?" Dutch is clearly sitting down in a chair.

 

But why the hell is the background a forest at night with alot of fog? Why would there be a chair in the middle woods? What the hell happened there?

He says it in this video around 6:11

 

"We're not going to put out a big title in the depths of summer."

 

This is from November

There's also some sort of structure there and a hitching post for horses so it's not like they're just out in the middle of the woods. My guess is it's on the same property as that burning house they're seen walking away from.

[SuperKitsune]

It seems alot went down there, cause you can see Arthur stabbing a dude from behind also around that area.

And fog mostly is around swamp-like area's. I think that scene is taking place in the bayou.

I think it's a shack in the swamp.

I think it's a shack in the swamp.Maybe they just fled to there. Keeping a low profile, that's why Dutch asks arthur if he has his back.

[Vespid]

I think we are set for another delay!! August-Sept release date is my bet.
