RDR3 was the codename of Undead Nightmare at R* SD. It was mentioned in a leaked document a couple of mods and admins can confirm it too.

It’s an expansion pack for red dead redemption, you wouldn’t call every gta v dlc a new game would you?

[Emmi]

So since we haven't heard much about the online portion of RDR2 yet I believe it might get unlocked early 2019 and not even this year!

They lost so many players over the first few weeks of GTA Online because it was a complete disaster.

R* might fully focus on singleplayer in 2018 before they switch focus to online in early 2019.

I think that'd be a great idea and I'd certainly welcome it!

Well why are you asking me? Ask the devs lol. Stuff like this is normal in the industry. Project codenames and stuff.

True I have a cousin who’s been playing gta for ages and he’s never even touched the story

He says that apparently the DailyStar have a source inside R* that the game will go gold in around two weeks time.

Given the fact we’re less than two months from Launch....RDR II Going gold in the coming weeks would be obvious anyway regardless if this particular  “article” was true or false......

[happygrowls]

technically undead nightmare can be listed as a seperate game because there's a seperate disc version of it

[Jason]

The GTA Online reveal was on the 15th of August 2013, just under a month before GTA V launched. They have plenty of time to talk about it.

 

I'd be very, very surprised if they withheld RDRO for longer than two weeks. They'll want to capitalise on the hype while it's still there, delaying it to 2019 would be very odd IMO. RDRO will be a selling point for a lot of people, if they announce it's not coming until a significant period after launch people are gonna delay buying it till RDRO which means less sales for launch week/month numbers and because the hype will have faded some people may just not bother at all.. It would be very odd.

It's just an internal CODEname. GTA V was called Project Rush in the casting calls. I don't see what's so weird about it lol

No that is fine, but saying that Undead Nightmare is a Red Dead Redemption 3 is wrong. They can call the next GTA "GTA 69" for all i care, but to us outside the studio not aware of the codename it will be GTAVI.

[Getzmunney]

Do you guys think they'll allow us to remove the satchel? For aesthetic purposes? Kinda makes Arthur look too much like Indian Jones (not that it's bad)...I would like the option to wear it.

Well yeah. A codename is something devs use as an easier way to refer to the project. Nothing to do with the actual name of the game.

I plan on getting a OneX at the end of the month. They need to reduce the price asap.

Bro, for real. I’m half tempted to just order the Fallout 76 edition just to get the game for essentially free but don’t want to wait until mid October to get the console

[Spider-Vice]

Games usually go gold sometimes up to 8 weeks before release, it's not that hard to predict RDR2 may be going gold very soon.

[Jason]

Yea we should be hearing that the games gone gold in the next two weeks I bet.

Think Rockstar will officially announce it themselves?

Does Rockstar usually announce this sort of thing? I remember someone mentioning that they have never ever announced when their game goes gold.

[Jason]

They did for GTA V didn't they?

[Kaversmed]

“Game close to release goes gold, news at 11”

I don’t think you’ll be able to remove it tbh. Although like yourself I’d like to be able to (and then not be able to have what ever is in the satchel ie food etc.) but can’t see it happening.

 

 

So we all know it’s been confirmed how we can carry weapons on Arthur and that our horse will be able to carry additional weapons but what are your thoughts on how the horse carrying will work. Do you think it will be limited, similar to how it is with Arthur or will it be a weapon wheel such as in other games.

Yeah. A Newswire article. It's not there anymore though.

[vKing]

Ah i see, just asking. 

 

It will feel good once they announce that the game is officially gold and that they have shipped off everything to have it produced.

Were pleased to confirm that Grand Theft Auto V has officially gone gold and were now preparing the game for release on September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, as many of you may already know, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTAV assets leading to leaked information and media from the game appearing online. You can read Sonys statement on this here: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/24/grand-theft-auto-v-update/. As you can imagine, we are deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game's launch. GTAV represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17th. Please stay tuned here at the Rockstar Newswire for all announcements about GTAV between now and game release as we definitely still have more to officially reveal.

As a specific note to our Social Club community, please remember Rule #1 right above the Comment Box. Please do not proliferate such things here as we certainly dont want any misinformation spread from things that are fake nor do we want spoilers spread regarding anything that might be true. Anyone engaging in such discussion here at the Rockstar Newswire before September 17th will have commenting privileges revoked until well after the games release. Thank you all for your understanding and your support.

 

I couldn’t find the original Newswire post but found this.

Only reason I think it might be possible is because ive scene shots of Arthur without it..especially trailer 2

They wouldn’t make us head to a General Store and allow us to purchase apples for our horse like in the Red Dead Redemption would they? Hopefully, this time an actual apple is in Arthur’s hand instead of an invisible one John held. 

 

I’m gonna give my four legged friend an apple from the saddle bag for good behavior.
