Maybe. Instead they did the May previews.

 

May preview event was for EU outlets only, wasn't it?

Not really. American people from IGN (Jon Ryan) were there. It was just a bunch of outlets worldwide.

If there really are kids in the game not just cutscenes I wonder if when we roll into town will they mimick outlaws with hand gestures and stuff as if they are idolizing them like seen in several westerns?

Maybe that part with the kid in the town is an intro like that 1 from gtav after Michael leaves the shrink

If Rockstar makes 20M copies of RDR2 expecting them to sell out in the first couple of weeks, I can say that they're gonna have a big warehouse full of crates for a good long time.  

 

I agree in general.  I expect there will be a spike at the beginning, as all the long-suffering RDR faithful get their preorders and first week sales, but probably a slow increase over time, as word spreads about what an incredible game RDR2 is.  

 

 

20M copies will be the target for the complete quarter which includes christmas business. 

Should be achievable with 10M units sold first month

Idk about that tbh 10 M in the first month sounds a bit generous although i expect the lifetime sales to be over 25M +

Pretty much says there is a private video uploaded in the rockstar youtube channel..that was uploaded there just recently...like today or yesterday dont know. And that private video cant be seen by anyone until the owner of the channel (rockstar) allow it.. so it seems the second gameplay trailer its coming soon..like this week. or today.

Lmao that link is basically talking about the varying amount of videos on Rockstar's YouTube channel.

 

The source is some YouTuber who posted a video yesterday - or rather, you know, read on this forum early afternoon yesterday and claimed as his own.

4 videos, 6 weeks. That should answer itself honestly.

"The Official Trailer" for V was shown on TV. So they don't need to do 2 separate things.

TV/Launch trailer may be the same, or cut using the same footage, plus that'll be 1-2 weeks before launch going by GTA V, so it's really more like gameplay part 2 and the RDRO video for 4 weeks.

Not this again hahahaha

[Emmi]

I still think the TV commercial might be using new footage rather than a shorter version of the launch trailer. Something simular to what they did for Max Payne 3.

Yet Rockstar’s games sell like f*cking hot cakes. R* is ahead of the curve when it comes to marketing. Believe that

Yeah, right, thank goodness Rockstar's marketing is working, because their games are sh*t.  [/end hyper-extreme sarcasm] 

 

 

 

[darkbane30]

They might just do what they did for GTA 5, release an "official trailer" and then make a TV commercial version and cut it down to 30 sec.
