those images get me more excited than screenshots or even a trailer...can't say why but they hit a nerve for me. I totally digg the artwork, and YES, they should make milllions of posters and sh*t instead of trying to push those buffalo_cards so hard!

But it won't be there all the time, am I right? Maybe it will be replaced by RDR2 in the coming weeks.

R* is gonna spend that shark card money and replace this.

Fallout 76 has it this time  

That's from June though ... the mural was painted around E3 time.

Of course it'll be replaced by RDR2 soon.

I hope it'll show Arthur, Dutch and Sadie!

[joshua969]

All jokes aside, if the hotel does get RDR2 art, it'll be Dutch, Arthur, and John.

[Jason]

Nah, if they did that hotel they'd have Sadie on there I bet. No way they leave her out if they have to go from four to three. That might even be why they haven't chosen to put a mural up there this year.

They need to have one dedicated to Sadie, they have to!

I wouldn't rule out Sadie. She's been pretty prominent in the marketing material we've got so far and I'd say Rockstar would be keen to push her character to the forefront. I don't recall offhand too many central female characters from Rockstar.

Going through the first pages of this thread, many people called RDR2 a disaster from day one the day it was announced. 

Well people were more salty about R*'s focus on online before. Many people expected RDR2 to be online driven because of gta online and we didn't get much new info from the first trailer. I remember reading the salty remarks that they mentioned RDO in ONE sentence. Plus there was that whole "it won't be called Red Dead Redemption 2, dummy" only for it to be called just that which made people think R* don't care about their games anymore and dumb sh*t like that. I was reading the bully discussion thread the other day and people were bothered that they called the game Bully.

[Kiwikieron]

Does anybody know how long before release the gta art went up?

I think the art at Figueroa hotel goes up relatively close to launch ... like maybe 4-5? weeks before release date???

Another thing that I noticed was that a lot of people seemed to dislike the 2nd trailer when it was released. 

[Cutter De Blanc]

Arthur was painted as a bit of a brute in the 2nd trailer

To be honest none of the 3 official trailers was that great in my opinion ... the first gameplay video however was amazing.

Idk why, but for me the first trailer back in 2016 was my favourite...dunno it just kinda set the atmosphere of the world, the song too was really fitting!

Yeah, the first trailer for an upcoming R* game is always something special and mostly my favorite. (IV, Bully, RDR1)

Idk about that all the trailers they have released for this game has been pretty f*ckin brilliant 

[Potter145]

I think they'll have Arthur, Sadie and Charles on the hotel. It makes the most sense from a marketing perspective in todays world.

From a personal standpoint Arthur, John and Dutch next to each other would be badass though 

 

EDIT: This just made me realise again how many interesting main characters Rockstar created for this game. So many we can't decide who should be on the hotel!

My vote is for the large breasted blonde woman in the gang

[Boone_Tuva]

I started watching the Red Dead Movie (all cutscenes) last night in anticipation, man they just nailed the mood for the entire game in that opening scene. The somber and pensive score that plays, absolute perfection. Really hope RDR2 is able to capture at least some of that same tone. 

 

Also, can we talk about how amazing Marshall/Anthony De Longis (his voice actor) is, so damn good.

It's amazing how a gameplay trailer can change people's minds.

Anyways I stopped caring about RDR2 and obviously GTA Online a long time ago.

 

We have to face it ... Rockstar Games' golden era is over (where online multiplayer very much did not exist).

 

I'm just frustrated, frustrated with what Rockstar Games became.

 

It surprises, no wait ... it shocks! me that RDR2 was voted most anticipated game of 2018 on resetera ... how do people even know about this game when there's literally no marketing going on for it?!

I played the game so many times, but yes, you can see this movie days before launch and it will put you on an excellent mood.....
