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

[VigMarston]

Even Fishing was confirmed to be real, which most of us thought was bollocks. So, Trusted Reviews were right about almost everything.

 

I think the only unconfirmed thing as of now is FP Mode.

 

Edit: You could say, I "trust" Trusted Reviews.. I'll show myself out

Well if they were doing first person mode 

they should have mentioned it in the gameplay video right? 

Trusted review leak seems like 70% correct to me 

 

Not at all. They could leave us in the dark about that so it's a surprise when we first play*.

 

 

*Or when it gets leaked

I instantly thought of “The Wild Bunch”.

While most of us here (if not all of us) would love to see slow gameplay, I can also understand why those people attending the Gamestop event had that reaction. It's basically the reaction I had to CP 2077. Those who are invested in a game enough will happily take whatever the presentation provides them, but those who want highlights from a game will easily get bored if they see unnecessary stuff that should be left for the players to discover themselves.

 

In short, it's not the fault of the game itself, but the fault of the presentation.

Exactly! I'm very hyped for CP2077, but that demo didn't impress me at all, looked like a Deus Ex on steroids version, nothing more, nothing of the "industry changing", "next gen" talk all the reporters were saying.

 

On the other hand, the gameplay of RDR2 blew my mind, goosebumps throughout the whole video, i was very impressed, even with my hype levels being at max.

I mean they only leaked and had confirmed..

-NPC interaction

-Fishing

-Expanded Dead Eye "vision"

-Camps for online

 

And now New Austin. But no clearly they were B.Sing lol

These old cameras be our RDR 2 version of snapmatic. And since this guy likely owns a company, i'd say we'll have possible side missions related to the fellow above to make use of the camera to take pictures of certain things. Animals, Landscapes, Bigfoot? Could be anything.

True. "5 zones" as he put it.

I'm really excited to see Thieves Landing. Always liked the atmosphere and feel of that place.

Hell yes. First thing I'm gonna play when I get there and sit down at the poker table and order a whisky, is this song.

So now that New Austin is confirmed, may I just say that the map will be f*cking enormous!

I think Nuevo Paraiso won't make it into RDR2 though but instead we'll get a new Mexican inspired region.

I'm very curious to learn more about the island on top of the leaked map. I hope it's fully explorable and not only a mission specific location.

On a side note ... I don't care if Nuevo Paraiso isn't part of RDR2's map, I didn't enjoy this region much in RDR1 anyways.

 

[joshua969]

What if the new region stretches from the western border of Tall Trees to the western edge of New Austin near Gaptooth ?

[zanpancan]

here is the thing.... how much of new austin will be there? i hope it's the whole of new austin, but i'm concerned it will just be a small portion. if the leaks are to be believed, it extends as far as ridgewood farm, which is satisfactory i would say.

That'd be amazing ... also in regards to Nuevo Paraiso ... I think it'll be in the game solely because of the reason that we will likely be able to swim in RDR2 ... how would they block us from crossing San Luis River???

[ArthurMorgan]

'GOOCH Brand', 'Ponce & Sons', 'Fingerblaster'... He he. I love R*'s sense of humour.

I completely forgot about this leak. Could you copy paste the entire leak? Or link it. Put it in spoilers tags just in case.

I don't have the link and to be honest I don't want to search for it because all I want is to forget this leak

 

Spoiler

You'll take over as John Marston after the games' story. The end-game will be to build the ranch at Beechers Hope.

Imagine trying to lug that thing around with you, would be humorous

It has to be the whole New Austin. I don't see how they can prevent us to go further than Ridgewood Farm all the way to Gaptooth Ridge.

maybe the po-po are hunting us down that far? maybe climate reasons, maybe natives?

[RDOutlaws]

Could we see all three states Arthur mentions that they're wanted in?

This likely adds more evidence on NOT being able to swim, otherwise what's to stop players trying to get over from New Austin to Mexico?

 

..hmmm unless there's a stamina bar but still I don't imagine Rockstar would chance it.

Same as sharks in GTA V

But there'll be canoes, boats ... so even if we can't swim, it wouldn't stop us???

If the blizzard theory is true, then it could be aggressive water flow in the river due to snow and ice melting, if not it just could be harsh that time of year.

That's a much more valid reason. Hmmm..

[Emmi]

I'm sure R* has come up with a clever way to prevent us from getting to Nuevo Paraiso, should it not be a playable portion of the games' vast map.

maybe, just maybe... that area was once part of the natives, as we know mexico did push into texas for claiming territory so natives could* be a possibility.
