I think we'll get some more artwork popping up don't get me wrong but rockstar really doesn't like when people anticipate something for some reason. They upload the artwork of the new DJ almost immediately but can't do the same for RDR2

I was one of the pioneers fighting for that. If R* showed a new piece of artwork for their upcoming games in the past and it wasn't available for download I tweeted them, mouthoffed them and told them probably a thousand times to upload the artwork to their download section so we can use it as wallpaper.

For quite some time now they finally upload it instantly to the download section ... I'm feeling proud!

Also if you read it, thank you

Relax folks this was expected today, our time is coming! We will hear something by Sunday I'm certain of it. The deadline for pre-ordering RDR2 to get the Treasure Map is all the evidence we need, they won't let that date slip by without Gameplay, trust me.

Maybe they just push it back again ... lol.

Nope. It was pushed back once because After Hours was delayed a week.

I don't think they would do anything red dead today seeing as they just announced a dj. If they did it would take attention off the dj which would be unfair to him, because I believe he's a real dude? I mean its great publicity being in the most popular game of all time. But I could still see the game informer thing because it's not really a direct thing from rockstar.

 

Also hi, I'm new.

[justinwitdabush]

I'm expecting something by Thursday. It would be really weird if they just let the 15th go by with absolutely no gameplay.

If they are trying to get people pre order before the deadline they need to hurry up and release the gameplay within this week I don't see them getting much of an advantage releasing the trailer 1 , 2 days before the bonus expires

Look on the bright side, dudes. 

 

Smash info tommorrow.

Monster Hunter the day after.

Doom Eternal gameplay on Friday.

But you might be the only one here that cares about those games. So good for you but not really a "bright side" for the rest of us

Welcome, thats a great point also.

GUYS

 

There won't be any major info dump until after next tuesday. Next tuesday they're releasing the Black Madonna DJ missions for GTA Online. We already know this. Don't expect any RDRII news until after that. Thursday the 16th I think we'll get something. It's also exactly 70 days before the release date. The GTAV gameplay trailer came out 71 days before the release date. Either way though don't expect anything until after next tuesday. I think after the last DJ drop they'll change the logo back to red and it'll be full on RDRII stuff until the game is released.

You know, they don't have to follow the GTA V marketing campaign 1:1.

Also what's the point setting a deadline for pre-ordering the game when they don't show something significant days before the deadline???

I'm expecting something within 80 days. I have a good feeling about that.

I just don't understand why they would extend the map preorder bonus thing until the 15th if they don't intend to show us anything before then.

[Reno_]

Wait is the cover out next hour?

EDIT: nevermind

Assassin's Creed Origins 2 on GI? Boring...

They got so much positive feedback after having a 1 year break, and yet they started releasing games yearly again...

This looks like Expansion or DLC to Origins... Yawn.

Assassin's Greed, lol

I know that they don't have to, but they've followed it incredibly closely so far. With the foreknowledge we have about these DJ mission drops I think it's pretty obvious. If they were going to drop some major RDRII trailer in between GTAO updates I don't think they would have changed their logos and twitter brandings to be GTA Online themed. I think it's possible we'll get something this thursday, but small. Like art or new merch. But i'm not expecting anything substantial until after next Tuesday.

My words exactly. Origins was great and it was great because they took their time.

[joshua969]

I'm guessing a GI cover for October (revealed in early September) is out of the question ?

[Jason]

We aint getting a GI cover. We had the big preview blowout already.

[Jayuk83]

Guys, I really think the gameplay trailer will be next Tuesday or even Wednesday. That lines up with their GTA marketing and also with the pre-order push back.

It won't be Tuesday...the last DJ gets released that day.
