Red Dead Redemption 2: Discussion & Speculation (Part 3)

Back then, I thought this looked good..

Then this happened

I'm just surprised the Gameplay Trailer is already three weeks old. We've already made it a quarter of the way between gameplay and release!

God dammit, f*cking Rockstar giving us another 4 weeks of drought 1,5 month prior to release I’m getting real f*cking tired of the way they decided to handle this

[nubcaker]

What makes you all think they would announce something everyone is expecting already?

The gameplay introduction is enough to suffice for three months tbh.

This and John are my favorites of what we've seen so far.

You know they're holding out on us.  I can't imagine there's NOT artwork for Micah, Javier, Bill, etc.

Amen

This is a R* game...I'll take everything I can get short of spoiling the story. 

At the same time though, you have to set your marketing expectations to non-existent to avoid crushing disappointment.

Nah. I see Arthur and John as friends. That line in the first trailer is definitely a very crucial moment in the game. Arthur's probably saying that to John or Sadie. I don't know why people would think Arthur and John dislike each other. Each time they're in a shot they look like close friends (They have each other's backs) I could see Arthur sacrificing himself for John or Sadie. Maybe that's his Redemption. Arthur and Sadie will fake their deaths. I could see that. I'm also not sure what leak we're talking about here.

Agree. 

Looks like Arthur's in cahoots with John, which is why Dutch keeps questioning his loyalty.  

 

Not saying R* WON'T kill off Arthur, but the real Shyamalan twist in this game would be to let Arthur survive, not die.  

 

Hell, Arthur may be the ONLY one who makes it out of the gang alive by 1914.

My money was on either Sept 6th or the 13th for part 2. Rockstar usually wait at least a month before these major trailer drops and that time just feels right.

 

I mean hopefully that Edge teaser was for RDR2 and if so we'll see in less than 2 weeks.

Lol people are calling this a drought?

Dusty background? Check

Red? Check

Stars? Check

What else could it be? lol

[LeonVegaSuarez]

Arthur gonna hook up with Sadie and then she tragically dies. Something heartbreaking is coming for sure.

I'm hoping for group artworks

[RedDeadOrAlive]

Could we get an announcement tomorrow or Friday for the 2nd trailer to come next week or is it September when it comes do you guys think ???

I'd be willing to bet at least one of them dies. I kind of think Arthur survives, would be too obvious almost to kill another main protagonist off. Sadie is done for sure, I believe.

One artwork with the entire gang would pretty much satisfy my thirst for artwork for the duration until release.

*sigh* The story will be sad for sure no matter what obviously. Knowing some facts from RDR.

Oh my...I hope R* read this post!

How could they possibly succeed without your valued input........

Although..... Getting the world debating the when's, where's, who's, how's etc is a simple, free and very effective marketing strategy. ....

 

OT: My best guess for next gameplay video  would be 6th Sept... A month apart...

The biggest knife to the heart would be John having to kill Arthur. It would be so bittersweet, to know that he has to do it to save himself and his family, but at the same time also knowing he dies a few years later anyways. 

[Distrom]

Sooo next week, right?

[joshua969]

My final prediction:

 

Gameplay #2 - Sept. 13th

Online - October 4th

Launch - October 18th

As an adult, I always find throwing a tantrum to be helpful to whatever issue I am faced with.
