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

[saintsrow]

I don't know if anyone brought this up recently, but I don't think that RDR2's "New Bordeaux" is based on New Orleans.

 

In the 1890s Nola was America's 11th largest city with a population of 242,000:

Definitely too big for the game's map and vibe.

Well, hey. Rockstar can scale down all of Los Angeles so it has fewer intersections than Hermosa Beach, so it's probably not a stretch for them to fit New Orleans into the RDR2 map equivalent of four acres.

if pearson beats arthur ass, arthur is a f*ckin chump. Pearson looks harmless af

A 300 lb over 6 ft tall guy. Looks like he could kick some ass to me.

 

Often times I find the biggest friendliest teddy bears are just holding back the grizzly inside themselves until absolutely needed.

 

It dont even look like him, the guy beating arthur ass has red as hair lol. i hear what your saying, but if arthur lets a guy like that beat his ass idk in the world why he is dutch top enforcer. Pearson looks like a straight herb im sorry. If that dude f*cks arthur up, i want to play as pearson lol, because i can already see arthur wont be around long getting beat up by a cook.

I have to admit, every time you respond to someones opinion with disagreement, you can be quite abrasive. Also, you should read the recent IGN article about how its a great change to play as a character who isnt all powerful in a world that revolves around them. I hope that Arthur gets his ass kicked once in a while.

 

Personally that would just add to the realism to me think about him having a black eye or a broken nose from a brawl that took place eariler.

OK Mary's! You remember an idyllic RDR1 moment... It has a a modern Jose Gonzalez the be the attached to it and for most people f us it was a dramatice, poignant transition where we couldn't quite believe that we were controlling a cut scene ourselves but also am emotionally charged scene also. My question to the community is... If in rdr 2 there is a similar departure frim scripted music to something modern yet apt. What tune?

[DarthMaster09]

Can we actually go fishing or is it only an activity for npcs?

[Stekahedron]

Also, I think Neil young, Leonard Cohen and even Billy Bragg could satisfy my chooses, bit that just me. Links appreciated.

I Believe it's been confirmed we can they could be paraphrasing though.

Looks like we can go fishing. There are fish hung on the same rack as the rabbits in one of the screenshots today. In a screenshot from last week it shows Arthur hanging rabbits on a similar rack.

 

I'd wager a large sum that in depth fishing is in.

 

It was confirmed in one of the previews I don't remember which one.

[Stormingz]

Personally, I love fishing so if Rockstar have included some sort of in depth fishing system, I am sold.

 

(As if I was not already)

[VolumeRX]

Take-Two/Sony exclusive pact should start right around now since the deal was made a year ago last month. So the marketing cash is paid for already

Why would you even assume that... and what will Sony do even? sounds like bs to me

[The Jungz]

I honestly think Marston will be a playable character at some point in the game, just because of how detailed he looks compared to so many other characters. Him and Arthur seem to be a step above everyone else in terms of textures and models.

"Beat an NPC using a fish as a melee weapon, and you feed him for a day. Teach an NPC to fish, and he convinces the game devs that only NPCs should fish; it's stubbed out for playable characters."

I was trying to research how native Americans hauled buffalo back to their camps, but I couldn't find any info

They dragged them back on crude sleds.

Those interiors <3

That probably is my favourite screenshot of the bunch

 

Looks like the saloon where Sadie stabs that dude`s hand

Where are these pics coming from?

Just a reminder:

 

PS4 has no exclusive content.

 

What they specifically said was that "PS4 players are first to earn select online content".

 

Which means, if you have a PS4, that you can gain some items from Red Dead Online a few days/weeks before Xbox.

And a lifetime before pc

 

More fan fiction...

 

July 2005, Washington, DC.

 

Sam Houser was in a bar with The Benz as he

politicians arguing on what to do with his life's work.

 

"f*ck these stuck up assholes. They don't care about games they just want to look good for their constituents worrying about their next election instead of caring about the real issues."

 

"Listen to me, when the time comes you got to run and don't look back. This is over."

 

As he exited the bar he saw Jack Thompson he was in his car he pulled down his pants and mooned them as he drove by slowly laughing. Sam was pissed he knew he'd get his revenge on him one day.

 

"This is the last time we treat PC gamers with respect."

 

Present day.

 

Sam Houser is standing in a room with Imran Sarwar, Dan Houser, Strauss Zelnick, and members of Take Two's board.

 

"My Friends. It's time we take the next step with the marketing for Red Dead Redemption 2. Next month we will increase the anticipation by releasing more info."

 

"Should we announce a PC edition?"

 

Silence in the room.

 

"Even though we as gamers, and as people in the industry with power want a PC edition as much as they do. We know how PC players are with their mods and pirating."

 

He paused remembering all of the pain PC gamers have caused him.

 

"Everyone in this room has suffered from their actions. How they threw a fit when we gave a cease and desist to open IV and they damaged our reputation. Never again will we find ourselves in a situation like Hot Coffee that almost threatened our very existence. We don't need PC gamers as the first Red Dead Redemption showed us and that two year wait for GTA V to come to PC but we still sold millions of GTA V copies before it released. Not to mention Sony and Microsoft both want to show their consoles off as being more powerful than a PC."

 

Sam sat down and lit a cigarette.

 

"So as of now. I'm putting the word out. No PC edition if I catch anyone working on anything related to a possible PC edition of RDR2 you're fired."

 

 

Take Two parking garage.

 

Strauss Zelnick is in his car and unlocks the door for the Benz.

 

"So they aren't making a PC edition. They still have PTSD over Hot coffee. By the way did you have anything to do with that?"

 

The Benz smiled.

 

"It was just a small piece of code that they thought was removed. But no matter how hard you try you can't just delete the darkness once it's there it's there."

Why would you even assume that... and what will Sony do even? sounds like bs to meI think Sony will give them $50-90 million for the next three years that the pact is on. Rockstar Games will do exclusive content for Sony's PlayStation 4. And win win for everyone especially Rockstar parent company Take-Two.

 

Zello: ❤

 

 

Fun Fact: Take-Two New HQ is suppose to be one of the biggest ever. I think that their permanent home for the next 20 years. The former HQ in Soho is still in use though.

I'm gonna have a heart attack..

These look so good

Except for that horse

That's gonna be a meme for sure

Our cowboy is shooting, the horse must show a reaction to the gun sound, because it's too loud.

Do you know which shot that is? I can't find it myself.

Someone going to lose their job folks. However this bring back the GTA V days back again. Graphic is phenomenon and I am not even putting in my glasses.

Am I insane, or does John only have a mustache here? It doesn't look like the full goatee we've seen in other screen shots, maybe the lighting is f*cking with me

[Mach1bud]

^ I am 99% sure the gang can grow facial hair just like we can. Probably find them shaving in the camp from time to time.

[BLOOD]

Long Live Rockstar Games! Long Live Rockstar Studios! Long Live Take-Two Interactive! Long Live GTA and Red Dead! And Long Live RAGE!

Man that'd be cool. Imagine at some point in the story you and the gang have been on the run non-stop for a while and you all start looking rugged as hell with beards and sh*t.

Fish is hanging on the right.

I enjoy your enthusiasm BLOOD. It's great

[Cutter De Blanc]

If there is fishing, I wonder if it will be better than Far Cry 5's (which isn't really all that good, but it's relaxing)
