Game previews are a glimpse at the top of an iceberg. I’m told there’s stuff beyond the mountains. I’m told the map is enormous, spanning five fictional states that represent the types of topography seen across the United States. There’s even a big city, they say, the likes of which the franchise has not previously seen. I’m told the story is ambitious. I can’t tell. It just wasn’t possible to see.

West Elizabeth, Ambarino, New Hanover and Lemoyne. That leaves one state, which goes to.... New Austin? Kotaku's editor isn't guessing as far as his writing is indicating, but he's actually told, and there's stuff beyond the mountains.

Omg can you visit new austin in the game???? For example Macfarlane Ranch and visit Bonnie?!??

@TheOriginalGunslinger  That's one of my favorites of the new screenshots.

On Red Dead Radio Jon Ryan said he tried to lassoo an 11 year old kid and the game wouldn't let him.  Sorry sociopaths, no harming kids.  Better luck next time...LOL.

But what if you throw a dynamite close to him?Or run at him full speed with your horse and jump out before hitting him?

Someone mentioned we'll actually spend time in jail when the law arrests us??? So it's not just a cutscene???

Can anyone confirm, I believe I read it somewhere but not sure anymore.

Great shot, dear boy!

Soundtrack has 192 tracks. Wow the holly f*ck......

I am so hyped for the violence level in the game. I remember the mission in GTA V that you shoot an enemy in the slaughterhouse, he fell to the cutting machine, machine cuts him but there's no dismemberment.

All this sounds extremly impressive but I support the comment of one magazine that this might actually be too much details if people just want to enjoy the game instead of micromanaging every little part of the surroundings

None of it sounds like micromanaging.  You don't have to interact with your game that much, you don't have to shave, you dont have to change clothes, you don't have to improve your horse relationship...none of these things are required to play the story...but they make it a hell of a lot more fun.

Is it true you can gain/lose  weight?

Yes sir!

[Emmi]

Question: can we burn Arthur's hair when we come close to fire? That'd save us a few bucks and time for going to a haircutter, etc.

Spoiler: After today I definitely think that'll be possible. lol

Ign video said that you can go to jail and that there is a random chance the gang will bust you out. Otherwise I doubt they make you sit there for more than a minute or two in real time.

INTERACTIVE. BATHING. MINIGAME. And we can get a woman "to help us out".Damn and damn. Is this game something or it is something?

[Non Funkable Token]

Confirmed that Arthur can gain or lose weight. No sure about gang members.

Oh dear, I wanted to spend a year in jail or so, waiting day-in, day-out for the gang to get me outta there. lol

[TheLordMarvel]

33) Arthur can swim (but not very well).

52) If a thunderstorm strikes, your horse will get visibly agitated.

 

T-storms confirmed, which also seems to confirm dynamic weather.

God, I'd love to see how detailed weather gets.   Hailstorms, lightning strikes, torrential downpour, tornado....that's just one typical hour out on the plains.

I hope the thunderstorms are as good as in the first RDR. That last online mission in RDR1 (the one where you had to fight your way out of a settlement and get to the cannons on the hill) had great weather effects. Especially with surround sound and a cranked stereo.

 

As RDR 1 was dynamic with the weather, there was different experiences for different people. When I first rode into Mexico and had to get to that small safe house, there was a thunderstorm going. That, along with the wet scenery and Jose Gonzales’ awesome music is one of the most beautiful moments I ever had in 21 years of playing games. The only two other moments that can rival this is probably being on foot for the first time in Hove Beach in GTA IV and in MGS IV where you go back to the island from the first game and there’s a hard snowstorm going and then the song that ended MGS 1 oozed into the experience.

 

awesome times

- Opossums play Opossum (they pretend to be dead when threats - including Arthur - are nearby). 

 

 

UNBELIEVABLE R*, WOOOOW!
