Maybe this will blow your mind like it blew mine when i thought of it.

 

What if Rockstar is bringing the ability to play as any animal back.

 

Yeah, it was fun for 10 minutes in GTA, but in THIS world, with so many other animals, all with unique behaviors.

 

Yeah...just as I expected. My mind is blown again.

I don't think it'll be part of the base experience, but if they ever add Director Mode, it's possible.

Wonder what kind of ammunition this is on Arthur's bandolier? Notice the red bullets. Likely some special kind of ammo.

What if its a powder horn for black powder guns?

Or simply some variation of an indian ritual out of body experience

I would love if the director mode comes back. All those little details and stuff happening around you will be stunning. I noticed even in GTAV quite a lot details i never saw during usual gameplay.

And imagine all those great productions on YouTube.

Oh how I'm feeling about this game... I don't really know the polite word for it. WHAT THE f*ck how are we this blessed to have this amazing as in depth f*cking game as this?! I tried to tell y'all they were working on big things all these years and their success with V just helped them on this project even more... What a beauty! I literally can't even play other games even right now... Happens everytime R* comes around. This game is the sh*t! WHAAAATTT! Oh and GATORS! Just like I wished for earlier thanks rockstar!

Apparently Arthur can change clothes by accessing the horse's inventory.
I'm also curious about the recipes we can make to feed Arthur. BOTW Feels ...

 When you want more info so Rockstar gives you a few more peeks but then you realize you aren't ready for a game this epic:

What I really like about RDR's intro is that it's not actually epic. It's boring. He's just riding a train. We get a quiet and calm look at this new world. We hear NPC's chattering about religion, technology, and politics. We don't start with a bang, like Max Payne 3 or GTA V (which truly starts with the opening bank heist in North Yankton). I have to wonder if RDR2 will take the same approach. Show us a quiet introduction into the world, rather than a loud action moment. I suspect that RDR2 will start with the Blackwater heist that goes wrong, but it could also be much more calm than that, since that's what the game is going for, the calm moments and the little details and interactions. We'll have to see.

Having read this, I actually wouldn’t mind a mix of the two styles. A cinematic short of the gang riding into town, prepping for the robbery, us watching it unfold and ultimately fail and as they escape out of Blackwater on horse is when you take control

Yeah I'm really excited for the INTRO.

 

Max Payne 3 was AMAZING at that, the flashback overlay thing especially. and the original score was back. it is one of the best game intros ever!

GTA V on the other hand, that intro with michael at therapy was OKAY, I liked it but not on that Max Payne 3 level. maybe because I didn't know Michael, while I was more than happy to see Max Payne back around the block! in brazil. whatever...

and the intro of RDR, oh that was/is really awesome, the ride on the train thing. very artistic approach and pretty much epic, in one word.

 

can't wait to see the intro of RDR2!

 

One thing they COULD do, and which would surprise ALL OF US US is beginning the game like this :

 

Black screen

Then some VERY familiar sounds, but with a westerny twangy twist.

 

THEN in white letters on the screen.

 

Ludendorff, North Yankton, Nine years ago.

 

And when we fade in again, we are meeting a younger Arthur in Ludendorff, perhaps he is not even a criminal yet. 

 

I don't know exactly what the story line for the intro "mission" should be, and what would eventually drive him away to a different state, but I do know that suddenly seeing those now almost iconic words on the screen would be a really special experience.

Interesting. I'm wondering if it'll be the entire wardrobe of clothes you bought available or just one outfit you can choose for each weather type to easily access areas without having to go all the way back to camp to change. 

 

I remember a preview mentioning Pearson making soup for the camp one of the days. I can see a large variety of recipes like in final fantasy 15 that give different temporary boosts. Hmm, medium rare elk meat with jalapeños, sunny side eggs with a side of bacon, rabbit stew. Damn, even the thought of potential foods is exciting. 

[Mikeol1987]

I personally hope Rockstar never connect GTA and Red Dead together they are two separate properties and should remain so. Not everything has to be a crossover! Damn Marvel Culture! 

[ExtinctShadow]

Im so excited for the clothing aspect, and being able to wear animals and skin them and such.

The intro will probably be the gang on a job, just so we can get a feel of the game

I noticed that too, while in this picture hes's looking to be thicker than usual. Pearson must be feeding the gang well.

Interestingly enough, the music from 5:07 to 12:40 in this video really sounds like it could be from the game to me. (based on what we heard so far) I wonder if it was provided by Rockstar or something.
