The idea of Arthur being able to talk to himself is so weird i wonder if it's a small thing or a hint of something bigger,guy might be crazier than we think

He just seems somewhat shy/bit of a loner. One of the previews mentioned he can't talk well with the ladies...

Announcement today would be the cherry on top

[Reno_]

Just replayed The Assault On Fort Mercer mission and it got me thinking, with New Austin confirmed to be back how do y'all think Fort Mercer will look like and what role will it play in RDR2? Will it be a gang hideout again or will they do something different? If it is a gang hideout and we can tell other members to scout the place out and attack it, I'm definetly bringing Bill Williamson along to attack the fort.

Will every Red Dead protagonist be a bit of a loser?John was a badass but he was a bit of a loser as well

[thedarkman123]

The red dead oclock show today was pointless, yesterday was great, and enough, 0 new info.

 

I guess in the next 2 hours if no more info than we close for the week, and what a great red week that was.

So, for those that missed it:

 

1) At least one of the previewers mentioned that they knew when the next gameplay trailer is gonna drop, but they're NDA'd

2) Many of the previews mentioned the fact that they had seen more of the game but couldn't talk about it yet.

 

My guess? Gameplay next week, hands on part two the week after, with an RDO trailer/hands on and then two weeks of release hype shenanigans.

 

Or something like that, anyway.

Holy sh*t no way?! I'm stuck between wanting to see every little thing I can for RDR2 to top my hype meter to even more ridiculous levels than it already is, but also don't wanna read too much especially story related... Damn. Rockstar is really good at not spoiling things and I'd think they chose things that they think are appropriate to talk about even if they saw other areas than new Hanover. Damn it though what to do.. what to do

[Ctlead]

Ooooo, new thread.

[RyanHunter]

Any news?

[coolfrancis19]

Which preview stated they knew when the next gameplay video is?

How so? lol

 That's what makes them human/relatable and the reason Rockstar's stories are so good. It would be boring to have a protagonist who is a "MAYNE" tbh

I think they said in the first game that it used to be a Mexican Army base and that Bill's gang only moved in after the army pulled out, so if it's there it won't be a gang hideout yet.

No it wasn't a base for the Mexican army. It was a base during the Mexican war.

I have today off as well with the weekend so I'll post more often on here lol. I seen IGN did a hands on preview video on YouTube is it worth watching? Does anyone know if it spoils anything I know people said red dead o'clock spoils some of the story which I'm trying to steer away from.

Guys nobody asked this, but how long do you think the main campaign will last?

100 hours?

No idea.

All I know is this: I'm going to progress as slowly as I can. You can't rush a game like this.

[GRANDHEIST]

Why did every preview avoid talking about Euphoria physics? They certainly saw how it was

 

Did R* forbid talking about it

[Jabalous]

First or third personer, are you?

 

Third all the way, me.

Why not both?

Going up a mountain and then looking around in FPV will be amazing.

GIMME THIS GAME ALREADY DAMNIT

less than 30 hours or so

[thedarkman123]

Do you guys really think we are going to play as Arthur all the campaign?

 

I seriously doubt that.

[Jason]

I'm gonna mix it up, I can't see my self doing any sort of combat in third person (though I'll give it a whirl) but exploring, just riding yer horse about, wandering around towns etc, gonna do a lot of first person for that.

 

Horseriding is gonna be great in first person IMO, it's not like GTA with it's cramped cars, you're gonna have 360 degree vision with that on the ground experience.

[Emmi]

Welcome new thread!

[Reno_]

I'll play in first person to see the little details in ineriors, maybe have a better control of my character and mainly when talking to npc's. I imagine horse riding, duels, weapon-related animations and mainly talking to npc will look really good in first person. And how could i forget the great hand-to-hand combat and looking at yourself in the mirror.

[lndex]

NPC interaction in first person, get real up close!

[DisCrafted]

One of the reasons I thought the TrustedReviews leak was fishy was the mention of FP mode. I legitimately didn't expect them to do it in RDR2.

New topic? It smells like a new car in here

Third. I love to see the weapons and clothing I choose. Not a fan of first person at all.
