Amazing film.

 

Can anyone point out where these scenes were filmed? I intend to visit usa next year and would like to visit those beautiful landscapes. Im thinking of Colorado, is that it?

Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

That's the Grand Tetons.  Highly, highly recommend a visit.  Make time for Yellowstone, too, a stone's throw away. 

 

...Wyoming is RDR2 Country.

I got talking to a Rockstar employee at a party in Belfast 2-3 years back. According to him, Agent basically became a different game with the assets already created used for the new title.

My uncle works at rockstar, said that they were gonna create a battle royale fps. Says it's gonna come out next week.

"Should i've killed you jimmy brooks"

[joshua969]

“This whole thing is pretty much done...we’re more ghosts than people”

 

Might be my favorite Arthur line so far.

Anyone gets a totally different vibe and notices completley different things when rewatching trailer 1-3? For example in trailer 2, when arthur says "we've got lawmen from three different states after us" , you can see the gang camp behind Arthur. He seems to be talking outside of the camp to someone. I always got a feel like he's talking to a prisoner of some kind.

Rockstar save us

I really love Arthur's don't give a f*ck attitude, it's just how I picture an Outlaw to be. I want Arthur to be a mean, unsympathetic, son of a bitch who won't hesitate to kill you if it means getting what he wants. And that is how im going to play for a majority of the game. the only people I care about is my gang. anyone else is better off getting out my way. I will walk in to towns fearlessly and antagonize anyone who thinks they can threaten me.

don't get me wrong I like John in RDR1, but he was too nice (although I played the nice guy in RDR1 and I'm a nice guy in real life too), it just doesn't fit the theme of a gang. even those who were suppose to be the "good" guys were bad in the wild west. 

My favorite Arthur lines from the trailers, have to be the casual and calm but threatening ones:

• "You got some money for me boy?" (while casually drinking that guy's soup)
• "maybe when your mother finished mourning your father, I will keep her in black, on your behalf" (with a grin)
• "Should I have killed you, Jimmy Brooks?"

It's hard for me to decide how I'll play on my first playthrough. I guess I'll just make choices that fit the story and Arthur as best as they can. Also, who here is going to help or kill Jimmy Brooks? I still can't decide.

Actually, what would you do in each of the interaction choices we saw in the gameplay video? I'd defuse the situation with the guy on the fields: Take it easy. Do what you want. I don't care. I'd provoke the sheriff and problably try to start an actual friendly discussion with NPC's if i can.

When it comes to games with playstyles or options with choices, I always choose the "Mr. Nice Guy" option all the time. Sometimes I know myself that a different choice would be more entertaining in a certain moment, but I can't resist it. Will do it 99 % all the time with RDR 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 I'm almost certain of, even with how boring it can end up being.

I'm going to let him hang on for a little while longer, make him beg a little. then probably help him out... then hopefully tell him he owes his life to me.

I will have gamesaves/ different playthrough for all activities after I finish the game anyway, so I don't miss out if I chose to kill them

The only game that I wanted to be a good guy in was RDR. It just felt right. Other games i just do whatever i want without feeling any guilt. I think it's because of how immerssive RDR was and how imerssive RDR2 and CB2077 look is why i decided to play different.

On my first play through, I’ll make decisions as I think Arthur would.  On my second play through...time to venerate savagery.

[Mirokunite]

I think Arthur is going to be open ended in how he acts in this game. He can be a upstanding individual or a hardass or in between. But I'm glad it seems like we're getting a Tommy V character over the lap dog pushovers we've been getting lately in Rockstar games.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you in terms of wanting to be a good guy in RDR, it was probably the easiest game to do so in alongside with The Walking Dead Season 1 and 2 by Telltale for me.

Damn forgot to mention those games! I wanted to do good in telltale's TWD too. Anything to keep everyone alive.

Er... Trevor was the biggest psycho in all of GTA, and Michael was really just an older, more jaded Tommy V type.

I hope they completely stop the updates ... that's the only way to really make the 'casual' gamer anxious for a new GTA.

But either way, I want Bully 2 for this gen of hardware (maybe even a cross-gen title?) and then they can go full next-gen with GTA VI.

I think the signs are there that they'll have a Bully 2 in like 2020-2021.  May still be another 4-5 years until GTA 6, which by then it would be a mid generation game for the next generation.

[Freelander777]

Did we already notice that Arthur closes one eye when firing a handgun? Pretty neat.

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that, 1, one does not close an eye when firing a handgun. I knew this, but also, I am stupid. And 2, this has been discussed before.

Will there be realistic campfire scenes?

 

 

[eastriver]

My money's on Rockstar announcing Part 2 of the gameplay series tomorrow, three weeks after Part 1 comes out.

[Starboy]

I feel like Dutch is gonna be one of my favorite characters. 

[Hugoat]

I'm very excited to see the evolution of the shootings and the Dead Eye, of course.
But I still think Part 2 will be released next week.

Thanks! I've heard of Yellowstone, people say it's very beautiful. I'll make sure to pay it a visit!
