New page, just didn't want this to go missed. Although I knew my intentions and idc what people think of me, I do like the community here and I appreciate being a trusted member, I just wanna show you I really was not lying on what I said for whoever remembers. Click that link in my other quoted post above for proof. Also, for those wondering where I was in mean I just take breaks from here sometimes especially when it gets too negative, but I was in the E.R last week. I've been having really bad chest pains near my heart, luckily wasn't a heart issue but still it really hurts even now while lying down. Just still going through a lot trying to sort it all out and get better but I'm still on the ride with y'all and I'm very hyped for cyberpunk 2077 and more than ever for red dead redemption 2. So close now!!!! And omgggg new Austin being back made me buss a nut tbh

clearly says available for download, the same as on psn, a pre load, you cant play it until release, you said you ordered it and got told you could pick it up and had a receipt that said you could, which is a tall tale mate, you cant pick up a digital copy and you cant preload a physical, you got sold a tale and confused then ran with it which is what everyone was telling you at them time

No need to apologise, totally understandable!

After watching Legacys video it seems more likely we'll have 5 states (New Austin, Ambarino, West Elizabeth, New Hanover, Lemoyne), but not Nuevo Paraiso. Ambarino will most likely "replace" Nuevo Paraiso as a desert location in the south.

Man, on the long list of things I love about R* games, somewhere close to the top is their endless supply of fictional businesses, products and commercials. Just looking through the "Brands of RDR2," I keep thinking of this dude's Tumblr. Definitely cut from the same cloth.

The game is going to be incredible...  People need to chilllet the hype  run through the body less than 2 months!! 

[Elliemay]

Can you imagine being on a river ferry at night in the Lemoyne area and standing on the deck looking at the city all lit up, and then the atmosphere of the bayou the sound of frogs and crickets etc omgggg

@RedDadRedemption is the new @greenrock cosplayer.

[SuperKitsune]

With all these places confirmed to return...I wonder if R* will recreate the towns accuratly or give them more of an alternate twist.

[Zello]

Arthur is going to buy/invent the RDR version of timberland boots and then move to NYC.

[Cutter De Blanc]

I'm glad we shall see the return of Herbert Moon

He's the real star of Red Dead Redemption

I imagine there will be slight differences, so things look newer. Other then that, I'm sure it'll be accurate.

Lol...imagine arthur becoming a major criminal figure in NY. A little off topic but im almost certain we will see a version of the mafia in St denis (New orleans)....since N.O. was one of the major mob towns of the late 1800s. But thats another story.

I think St.Dennis is going to be either Denver Colorado or St.Louis for some reason. I'm still not sold on it being New Orleans yet.

Having the old map return would be amazing. It would also help with the longevity of red dead online, which is probably a big priority. 

 

But what about a redemption 1 remaster? That screen of John in his old cowboy outfit? 

[Cutter De Blanc]

Where does Arthur Morgan go to eat a hamburger at 4 in the morning?

Saint Denny's

It would definitively give R a reason to write some risky stuff that isn't exactly safe in this day and age where sjw's are super aggressive and are starting to migrate towards the gaming community.

 

I didn't like Herbert at first but when i understood what R was doing it had me laughing very hard lol We met Herbert in RDR1 as an old man so i wonder how he would be like a couple years younger..

Arthur : "I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."

If Arthur Morgan did nothing in his free time he'd be Arthur Boregan

There are certain risks to the narrative and open world gameplay if New Austin does return in its previous shape and form. Most important to note is how John mentions in RDR that the gang (and John himself) never made it down to New Austin. 

 

My concern mostly stems from the old 2016 leak. (POTENTIAL STORY SPOILER FOR RDR2)

 

While it's entirely possible that things could've changed by now, the confirmation of 5 states as suggested by the leak gives me the impression that much has remained as it once was before this leak. So, if what the leak suggests about endgame content is true, it would probably mean one of two things. It would either mean Rockstar will retcon what John mentioned about New Austin, or it would lock us out of that region entirely post-credits. 

There is one more thing that confuses me. The following quote mentions that Blackwater is a western town.

Assuming that the New Austin map returns as it was, wouldn't that make Blackwater more of a central town on the map? I could be reading too much into it, but I think Rockstar is usually meticulous about what they do or do not include in their descriptions. Granted, they could just be referring to it as a western town in a more general sense, rather than relative to everything else on the game map.

 

Maybe only something from that leak it´s true.... I mean, it will be bad and sad if all of that is true....

Geographically speaking maybe. but figuratively I think The Heartlands is considered to be the central area, anything to left of it, is considered the west

I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, Rhodes is on the same level on the map as Blackwater but it is refereed to as a "Southern Town".

The Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay reaction (330k likes, 4k dislikes) shows SJWs don't sell your games. I hope R* knows that too and that they don't limit themselves in terms of creative freedom in storytelling, tackling controversial themes etc....

Great pun 10\10 upset I didn't come up with it this time

[Cutter De Blanc]

I just realized we will be able to stop and have a conversation with Herbert Moon complete with options like "Beat, Threaten, ect."

He's gonna be running out of his store asking someone to help him after I'm done shopping there
