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

[Jason]

"Once the introductory sequence is over, the moment finally comes to grip the pad . Arthur is on horseback, in the middle of a plain that extends as far as the eye can see: in the distance we can see the profile of the snow-covered mountains that we left behind. The guys from Rockstar tell us to press the touchpad, and now comes the first surprise: Red Dead Redemption 2 can be played entirely in first person."

 

Oh boy.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE HUNT ONE

 A trip to a local inn for a room and bath gave me the option to pay extra for the deluxe wash, with a lady of arriving to reach into the suds and ensure that Arthur was completely cleandownstairs. It's all fairly chaste and I'm sure virtual money well spent.

We need some help summarising stuff too so if someone's willing, thanks! Seems like Arthur can get fat and skinny too, it's back from GTA SA!

"The Blackwater bank heist had a terrible ending: some members of the group died, others are got seriously injured, including the same Marston who got the wounds on his face that made him particularly recognizable in the first Red Dead Redemption."

Red Dead Redemption 2 takes on the features of a titanic production. But after all, with Rockstar at the helm of development and a production process that lasted six years, there was nothing else to expect. Conceived, born and raised with this generation of consoles in mind, the title represents the sum of the experience gained by the development team, a creative landing place able to take advantage of all the skills of the software house. To overcome the limits of the open world Rockstar focuses on realism, but especially on density: its far west is overflowing with details, and all are somehow significant. Whether it's microscopic interactions, an unexpected glimpse of Artificial Intelligence, or an unexpected foresight in the construction of duels, every element that makes up the great design of Red Dead Redemption 2 is designed to increase the immersion and the ideas available to the player. At the heart of this unpredictable digital fresco is a dream setting, and a raw and direct story, ready to tell the sunset of the west. With the announcement of Red Dead Online (in public beta starting from November), finally closes the picture of a title that has the ambitions and the papers in order to be a milestone not only of the genre of reference, but of the modern video game. In a word: colossal.

Quote

Arthur needs to eat, he needs to rest, and he needs to wear a jacket up in the cold mountains. If he gets covered in mud, blood, or some unholy mixture of the two, he needs to wash. If he doesn’t want to look like a yeti, he has to trim his hair and beard, which grow in real-time. If he eats too much, he packs on weight. If he runs a lot, his stamina increases.

They went full on RPG with this!

Adding all new screenshots together here as previews drop, stay tuned.

WAIT A MINUTE

WHERE HAVE I SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEFORE

[Grichka Bogdanoff]

Going to make a list of all the new info out from that Everyeye.it preview now

[lndex]

It was while meandering under the dazzling skies and through moody forests that I got a taste of just how compelling the world's more incidental moments cans be. Night had fallen, and a small homestead glowed just off the track. I went over just to look around, not meaning any harm, when the owner ran onto his porch and started shooting. Of course he did: a stranger was lurking around his property at an ungodly hour, and I'm just not used to NPCs reacting like actual people. Long story short, by dawn there were two corpses - his, and a poor witness that had ridden by while I was looting his body - and I had accidentally lassoed a bull but had no idea what to do next. 

 

 

This f*ckin world!

This is the Red Dead game I dreamed of.

[FlatFX]
