"Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience."

 

Please, not this again

what?

[BLOOD]

Samurai era swordsmen and horses...That will probably be RDR3 or a future installment in the franchise or even the Undead Nightmare spin-offs or even for (Aargh) Red Dead Online.

Interesting...

"The game will take place in the same area as the original game, twelve years before the first original game. There will be three playable characters, two of which are from the original game and one will be completely new and will not have much story line, Ill explain in a second. The two "main" characters are Irish and Seth. Irish will be brought up in Ireland and will move to the Americas when he is fifteen and moves to the game setting when he turns twenty one. Seth is from Kansas City and works as a teller in a bank. He then hears of a treasure and uses his life savings to bring his family to Texas in the town of Tumbleweed. Throughout the story we experience him unraveling to his state of mind in the original game, losing his wife, children, home, and possessions to his treasure. The third person is a character you create similar to multiplayer in GTA V. You choose his clothes and horse. Although you can unlock outfits for Seth and Irish, the third person (Who you name) can acquire all different kinds of Western tops, bottoms, boots, gloves, and hats. Horses will also bring completely new customization to the game. You can choose there type/breed like the last game, but now you can also choose what saddle they have (with their own boosts and stats), storage, and paint. You can also buy your own safe house and customize it. Also, all of this carries over into multiplayer. There will be many new and more thought out stranger missions as well as roughly thirty campaign missions for both Seth and Irish. The third character can be involved in the campaign, but can not be used in missions. He will appear as a "gun for hire" and works with Seth and Irish, tying the stories together."You" (the third character) will be in free roam, but Irish and Seth can be called in as companions (but not be played as), as well as other people. You will meet many of the characters from the original game including young Bonny Macfarlane, Sherriff, and even John Marston, but he will still be in his gang.

A big new part of the RDR prequel is the new gang system. You can join several different gangs, or if you think you are up for it you can join the law enforcement of certain towns, but this will restrict you on things you can do like robbing. Although you can rob it might cost you your hard earned career and possibly your life. You can also bring in a posse (up to 4-8 friends) to single player, technically co op now. You can take on certain side missions and a few campaign missions with your posse."

Jesus Christ that's horrible. And not real. At all.

 

Horses can be customized with paint and sh*t?

[Sonny_Black]

I still can't believe they already quote the online tho, like we did not have enough with GTA Online in GTA 5. Jesus f*cking christ

The only reason they announced this game now is because of investors. They need to be reassured about revenue. Online = revenue. That doesn't mean SP will be sh*t. I don't believe it will.

Off topic: on a bright side, Ubisoft is also counting big on the Online mode of Watch Dogs 2 unlike the first game, same with most games these days (Mafia 3 being the only exception and it already a big flop already coupled with bad reviews).

Online is a big part of the game to ALOT of people, I'm not at all surprised they mentioned it. Hell rdr is what where the open world mp flourished (have posse- will travel). I hope the scale of the sp is similar to tw3 though and they tack the multi-player aspect together as they like gtao.

 

Anyone that thought rdro wasn't going to be present is kind of naive with all do respect.

 

Hopefully the mp isn't too micro transaction focused but after gtao

From reddit user DestinyCE, I think it's looking like a prequel.

I'm glad another major R* title which supports a multiplayer experience will release before the next GTA. It'll certainly help me to decide whether or not my loyalty continue with R* and their SP games which have been the biggest draw, not Online.

If RDR 2 suffers a similar fate by giving Online insane amounts of focus and relentlessly pursuing to make it better than exceeding fan expectations for SP post-release like V then I have to finally say Goodbye to Rockstar!

[luisniko]

"Brand new online multiplayer experience"

 

Yeah. Right.

 

I'll wait for used copy.

[BenMitchell90]

I LOVE that artwork!

 

I'm pretty hyped of course, as Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite games of all time, but I don't know if I'll go into "Oh my god, I can't wait, I'm literally counting down the days" mode this time around. I learned my lesson with GTA V. But really, while it was disappointing in a lot of ways, I still feel that V is a great game and it's given me hours of enjoyment, so I am pretty optimistic. Just... no RDR Online leeching off the single player like a parasite, okay? It's definitely going to have it, but hopefully it won't get interesting exclusive features like safehouse buying. But I'll wait until more information comes out before claiming that the sky is falling. As for the title, I was kinda hoping they'd use another "Re" word for the (Rebellion had a nice ring to it), but I suppose brand identity is more important than tradition when you're trying to sell 800 gazillion copies.

Anyway, really looking forward to the trailer, and especially looking forward to playing it in 2018 after all the delays.

Nah.70% of me wants it the other 30% just want it to be GTA exclusive.

So much f*cking awesome. Over half of a decade waiting for this game. I want to cry. Finally something to look forward to. Yisss. Only about a year to go. Hope GTAO gets its fill, because this sh*t is going to be magnificent!

[nicktestbranch]

Laughing at all of you dudes who said it won't be named Read Dead Redemption 2.

They weren't wrong though.

[ThaSouljaCity]

Never have I ever seen this much salt over a f*cking game title. It's kinda weak yeah but nothing worth popping a blood vessel over. Imagine if the next GTA game gets called "Vice City 2" and everybody loses their sh*t over it.

 

I also love how even the tiniest mention of an multiplayer/online mode could set so many ppl off to this degree. This is coming from someone who's never even played a Red Dead game before.

 

Some real top notch """"""fans"""""" R* has going for 'em...

Edit:I have a feeling Red Dead Online will not be as successful as GTA Online Can't wait to smack a GTA Online player with a Bolt Action Rifle though! They'll be like, "but, but, where's my Advanced Rifle and Passive Mode?"

 

Hopefully the multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption 2 will include the "Headshot" stat that was in the Main Menu under the stats section. It was pretty neat that Shootouts and Gang Shootouts (basically called FFA and TDM) included headshots on the scoreboard. Good times, good times...

People will complain if Red Dead Online is not as fleshed out as GTA Online. People will complain if they make Single-player a big focus. People will complain if they stop supporting GTA Online and release a Story DLC for GTAV. People will complain if they dont delay the game. Geez this world.

 

 

Note:I can see people complaining if the game does not have underwater exploration,three-protagonists-system, and Yoga LOL.
