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

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

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

Is that all you come here to promote? Every post is some delay talk

[DexMacLeod]

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.

Yeah, some think that's the same place that Arthur is seen trying to break that horse with the crazy eyes. One of the theories is that it's a place Dutch's gang have taken over and are using as a hideout.

Red Dead Redemption 2s IMDB page has a new stunt actor added to it.

I checked 2 days back it was just Dan and Sam Houser.

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.

I like the Fallout series, Elder Scrolls series, Destiny 1 and 2 (I am completely aware that the game is flawed in variety and with microtransactions, but I still enjoy the first person co op rpg gaming it provides,) Godfather:Don's Edition, and most of the gba pokemon games. As for Rockstar, my most favorite series is Bully. I'm part of it's small fanbase that hopes for a sequel. Red Dead being my 2nd.

 

As for next week, If we don't hear anything this time, I am going to start believing the Reddit rumor that Rockstar is struggling with Red Dead Redemption 2 and people are starting to quit their jobs over the game's development.

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?

maybe a meeting western style. Camping

[Zello]

Dutch likes to keep a chair in the middle of the woods lol

if that leak about having a camp of outlaws moving around is right then maybe its a thing like that. I think I could see someone lugging a chair around .

i too love fallout and just got into elder scrolls recently playing skyrim vr. And is there really a rumor on that? I havent seen it tbh, i know theres prob some truth on people quitting but the game has been in development since 2011 or 12, concept ideas and all. (full in 2014) but on top of that, rockstar artists pages have been being found and let out slight details that we will be seeing an update soon. Game development especially at the caliber of rockstar is probably a struggle sometimes but honestly i dont think it isnt coming out yet cause of struggle. I think they are just very very tight lipped and have a plan none of us know about. Plus by their wording " rdr2 is now set to launch spring 2018" and how usually 1 year after their games are delayed they end up releasing.. i bet they already know the date but it still hasnt been close enough yet to the investor call. I seriously have huge HUGE feeling on next week being the end to all worries. (Extra;) i love bully as well. For me it would be red dead, GTA, bully, then whatever else. I do think bully is going to be rockstars next game in years to come. I wanna see red dead in the spotlight for a while. I wont complain at all, it deserves 4 years or so lol Edited January 20, 2018 by damienrayemusic

I hope they have no steel horses in rdr2..Maybe not steel, but they'll definitely have iron ones... Edited January 20, 2018 by zachsterosu

How do I post a pic from a mobile device. I have a cool pic I took on my tv while I was watching the trailer and I really want to share it

[Obscurevids]

Hey everyone! First post! I'm a huge fan of Rockstar games, especially when it comes to Red Dead Redemption! I've spent a huge portion of the last few days reading this forum hoping in vain that you all knew something I didn't already! This whole news drought is driving me as insane as everyone else... so I made a little trailer edit. Since you guys pretty much inspired it, I thought I'd share it here! Enjoy!

 

 

 

My vids mainly consist of "Video Reviews" of obscure content over here in Canada, but I also made a Red Dead Revolver review last year! Check that out too if you like!

A couple months ago I had this idea. What if Arthur got close to the Van Der Linde gang because they killed someone he cared about and he wants revenge? That would be an interesting twist. After gaining Dutch's trust, he ruins everything he's built to leave him with nothing.

It's probably a caravan camp. The leaked map has those listed on the legend, and covered wagons could easily carry furniture. You actually see one in the second trailer, and there's tables and other temporary structures(tents, canopies, etc.) set up around the wagons.

Looks like R* is having a mighty fine time out there while we're nearly killing each other for a release date.

 

Dan Houser's reaction to us begging for info at 0:35.

I love Vitas.

[tsycho]

Seeing zachsterosu's screenshot of the camp... I'm really interested in who this man is. In this scene it looks like he's looking suspiciously after Arthur and the black / native dude, at least that's how it "feels" to me ... And he seems to have a closer connection to Bill Williamson (in this scene they're standing together, in the burning mansion scene they're together).

Jesus. How did I miss Bill and co in the background?! lol

I don't think this is Marston. We don't have a good shot of his face, but from what i can see, this guy looks a little bit older than Arthur imo... And he wears his hat very high on his head. Not John's "style".

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

This dues hair looks kinda blond or brown if you ask me, i dont think its John imho i could be wrong tho.

Anyone else hoping for a young Herbert Moon appearence, as annoying as he was... it will be great to put a bullet in him again...and again and again...

Great idea! I love it. Maybe that's why Dutch ends up going insane as well. Maybe for some reason Arthur was the only person he liked and trusted as a friend in his entire life. When he was betrayed by Arthur he lost the last piece of himself and all hope in humanity, went mad out of an odd form of grief.

maybe a meeting western style. CampingYeah but i think they must be "camping" for a reason. A reason that equals the likes of not getting caught and receiving a death penalty.

Now that's closer to my idea. I think Arthur will be an infiltrator of some sorts. First getting to know Dutch..making him lower his guard and then BAM! Try to kill him and ruin his gang..the only question is however. How dit it turn out, because Dutch is still alive in RDR1 and Arthur is nowhere to be seen or mentioned

It's probably a caravan camp. The leaked map has those listed on the legend, and covered wagons could easily carry furniture. You actually see one in the second trailer, and there's tables and other temporary structures(tents, canopies, etc.) set up around the wagons.

 

I thought that too, but look at the people in the background. Aren't they overdressed to be in an outlaw camp in the middle of nowhere?

Someone else pointed out that Bill Williamson is also in the background in this camp area.

 

So this could be a gang hideout you need to move around like the leak said.

[SuperKitsune]

It could be a little bit of everything really, but what can be a agreed on is that it looks like a temporary safe spot.
