Are we forgetting that GTA V for current gen consoles takes up around 50GB? And that's a game that was built around last-gen tech when Rockstar had 512MB of RAM to work with.

that sh*ts got like 50 gigs of updates too

[Ehrmantraut]

I believe it will be something between 50gb/60gb, and it will probably increase with dlcs

Twitter has promoted (ad) me with a tweet from Rockstar telling me to pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2.
Another semi-interesting thing is that Rockstar has never, to my knowledge, posted that tweet before. So it seems to be a newly constructed tweet for the purpose of advertising RDR2.

The tweet has actually been around since the gameplay video was released, so it's quite old.

What do you guys think about it?

I mean it's old news. We've known about it for months and like Strauss says, concurrent spending and MTs keeps customers coming back especially if the title is engaging enough and successful.

 

Case in point: GTAV and Online. 5 years on and it's still charting in the top 3 sold for each week be it physical or digital copies. 

 

If RDR online is a similar model to GTA online and is successful then of course there will be MTs, they would be stupid not to monetize it.

We are one day closer to news ... we are one day closer to release of the biggest game of the year!

I think the difference is that for GTAV/GTA0, there is wave after wave of 8 to 10 year olds that are finally old enough to get a console for Christmas, and old enough to cajole their parents to buy GTA. 

 

I don't think there will be the same kind of emerging year-after-year juvenile lust for RDR2/RDR0.   I suppose they'll be going for the latest Mario or Smash. 

 

Meanwhile, the GTA0 phenomenon could continue for the next 20 years, until Rockstar gets finally tired of porting it to the next console generation.

The article might be a day old but Strauss has been reiterating their stance on future monetization and microtransactions for months. He's not saying anything we haven't already heard is the point.

I'm gonna go with 80-100 tbh especially on the Xbox one x with 4k and HDR...

4K and HDR don't make the game larger. HDR is even available on base PS4.

I know that lol it was just a statement what I'm excited for. 4K does make file size bigger though in the context I'm speaking. 4K updates on games are quite big and it's a mandatory download. Example, gears of war for me was about 90 GB then with Xbox one x since I wanted to play it in 4k, I had to download a big update and it totaled in at about 120 GB. So yes, 4k does make it larger in this way at least on Xbox. HDR has nothing to do with it though. It's just a TV feature.

Strauss lies to customers to appease shareholders

and it works

I can't tell you how happy I am that there won't be as many fn kids playing RDR.

 

GTA is just made for kids nowadays. That's why we will never see a GTA set in the 80's or 90's again. It wouldn't satisfy those little brats when they can't have stupid laser guns and flying motorcycles.

Seriously f*ck that. I want realism and not something like this. Glad I stopped playing when that came out.

 

If they do something like that for RDR I will never play in a free roam session again, it will just destroy the illusion of 1899.

Agreed. I'm tired of modern sh*t. I love the west for everything most people hate it for and say it's "so boring" lol sure it is. You're just not intelligent and deep enough to understand and appreciate it. Lol but no worries on RDR turning into that. R* knows RDR is more serious and realistic, and they all love the west themselves. They're just as excited to go back to the 1800s as we are!! They've been working on this so long and as a RDR fan since day one, this will be like red dead online (the first one, my favorite online experience ever which is why I've played it every year still) with new things and the depth of newer experiences. Guaranteed. Nothing that makes it non western though. Even Strauss himself knows it's a niche genre

Sorry. But I don't think it will be different for RDRII. Also London billboard shows PEGI 18 rating so it's definitely not made for kids.

PEGI 18 is a given of course but that's still a provisional rating.

I think the rating will be confirmed by the time Part 2 comes out...

What are you sorry for? Lol and yeah good thing. Kids shouldn't be playing these type games anyway especially in this day and age.. at least if they're clearly not mature enough and cant understand it's a video game. I was allowed to start playing GTA and stuff at like 13 or so with my dad around cause of my maturity level and knowing exactly what I just said. These kids that can play though just because their parents don't bother looking into the content.. sad really.

Agreed man!! Reminds me of my theory actually on why gameplay part 2 purposely hasn't been put out yet. They want the game to be rated M on the trailer, they've been waiting for the ESRB to come through and announce gold either before then or very soon after.

[GTA Plus Enjoyer]

We got like 40 days left, god damn! I can't wait. I wasn't this hyped for GTA V... I remember turning it on for the first time, the delivery came like 2 hours before school and I had an hour to play it.

Wait, are the game ratings in USA really that important? It seems to me that here where I live not one adult gives a sh*t.

No there not important, most parents in the usa dont really care about ratings.

Which is the problem in the first place. Then they blame video games cause they're "tOo vIoLenT"

[Doomageddon666]

Ah well, I am pretty sure there will be less little kids screaming sh*t in ur ears.

[Nathan_17]

Has rockstar ever announced news on a sunday?

Nope. The game was teased on a Sunday for the first time but that was a totally different situation.

I agree. I loved GTAO when it didn't have all those unrealistic vehicles etc... It's more like Saints Row now than GTA. Which is kinda ironic since Saints Row has been called a "GTA-clone" and now GTA is copying it. But yeah... So happy that the ADD-generation/-s are not there the ruin the game for the rest of us.

To me it has seemed that ratings in USA are "important"... And censoring things... Like for example Conan Exiles console version can't show full nudity 'cause of ESBR. And if I remember correctly Agony had some issues too..

 

And the game size will be at least 40-50gb. That is pretty much a "standard" nowadays.

Also one thing came to mind. Hopefully they won't allow that thing you do with snipers on GTAO, when you aim and you can run sideways and shoot. That is annoying af... Especially when ppl use marksman and do that.

It's gonna be disturbing a few times at least before getting used to it... If it's really how they described which I have no doubt it is. Man I love animals and they love me, they always sense I'm a good person   and yes you may say it's just a video game but well. Not exactly anymore... Everything looks and feels so real. You get so immersed your brain thinks you're really there and feels for things including the cute deer and frog you just saw cross Arthur's path. I'm glad rockstar is going super realistic and really making it so your horse dying and things dying in general is no joke, but the animal will probably take getting used to. Gonna have to learn how to shoot the animal in one shot without suffering! Probably the heart.

Always only just kill what you need and nature won't be mad at you

Unless I need to reach master hunter rank 10 of course. Then fools are gonna die
