The Art of Red Dead Redemption II due February 26, 2019


Recommended Posts

This will be on a way higher level than The Art of Grand Theft Auto IV ... does someone know how many pages that one had? On top of that it was only available with the collectors edition of the game and not sold separately.

 

Around 67 pages and about the quarter of the size.

That's amazing DGSimo. Is it weird that I'm (almost) more excited for this art book than for the actual game? It's the first time we get something like this from R* though so I guess my excitement is justified, right?

Absolutely. Its the first of its kind for Rockstar really and I love collecting art books and I love Rockstar's art. I mean I bought their guides for RDR, Max Payne 3 and GTAV mostly just for the original art.

 

So that plus more including the thought process and studies for the characters and landscapes...perfect. lol

Amazon updated the listing to remove the description. Oops. LOL

 

Edit: Barnes and Noble too.

On amazon.de and a few other sites the description is still there.

 

Hmmm... I don't know what they did there and why. Nonetheless, the official announcement with a picture must be coming soon.

 

Really excited after jumping into the world of Red Dead Redemotion II, to four days later look up all the art and ideas that made this experience possible.

Not bad. Sounds like a good start to making up for all the delays and quietness. Gonna need more than that though. I want those behind the scenes videos where they show actors doing mocap, and i want to hear from the voice actors about working on the game, and all that extra jazz. RDR had a little bit of it. I want like 4x more this time around.

Not sure why the R* ninjas acted now, it's way too late, everyone knows, and it's already in a few bookstores around the world listed.


Lol at rhe Amazon description. :p

 

 

 

About the Author

This is a forthcoming title for Rizzoli for future publication. There will be additional information regarding this title still to come at a later date.

 

Other websites still have the true description.

Maybe that was the idea :catspider:

Either way I think Red Dead fans around the world can all relax now instead of worrying about nothing. :lol:

 

It's not just a celebration because it's a sequel to Red Dead Redemption, it's a celebration because it's a brand new Rockstar game which is always a treat.

What? No, it's not fake. Rockstar just took it down because it's too early. It wasn't just Amazon either.

Seems strange that all of those book retailers would upload it to their site all of a sudden... as if there was a time limit on when they were aloud to talk about it.

 

I can see one of two scenarios:

 

1. Rockstar had some sort of embargo on when the book could be listed on websites, even under a 'secretive' listing. This was then found online and quickly removed for 'damage control'

 

2. This was purposely done to get everybody talking about RDR2 again just in time for the kickoff of the marketing campaign.

 

Either way I'm happy :lol:

was the book deemed fake, since it was brought down at amazon?

Listing is still there, only Amazon US and Barnes and Noble scrubbed any mention of Rockstar and RDR2.

 

Amazon UK and all the other retailers didn't change anything though so I'm not sure what was the point. lol

inb4 Amazon "soon" appropinquates to Rockstars "soon", the more often they work together, and one day Amazon products take 2 years to ship, lol.

  • 5 months later...
  • 6 months later...

When this first came out on Amazon I immediately preordered it.

 

For the last couple of months I received messages saying the order is delayed.

 

Until yesterday. Because I received an email from Amazon stating that the order is now officially cancelled due to inavailbility.

 

Seems like Rockstar first had plans for an artbook and maybe delayed it for the nextgen release or they cancelled it indefinitely.
