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

100% not him if you are referring to the Fire speech

 

 

 

I'm sure it's him, the man of aggressive voice and thoughts.

[Len Lfc]

Imagine that you lost your horse when you needed one, and you see someone riding on the road. Before, the only way to get on that horse was to shoot the rider, which usually scared the horse and forced you to chase it. We wanted you to be able to ask the rider to stop. Maybe he did not, but if he did then you should be able to ask him to get off the horse. so you can get things from people without resorting to physical harm. (...)

This sounds fantastic!

 

If you are in a town and you approach a person who is sitting and you begin to invade their space, they will not panic and run away, that would be weird. But surely they ask you what you are doing, and if you continue, they will react. If there is someone nearby, that third person may be involved. There's a lot of difference between trying to rob someone in public or grabbing him, and the way the other characters react.

Also, thank god they're addressing this. So f*cking annoying in GTA V!

How? The voice sounds absolutely nothing like him. Its clearly a different VA from Benjamin Davis

[SmokesWithCigs]

This game is going to be 20 times greater than r dr andthat's saying a lot

[uNi]

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched yet. Everything but the storyline could end up being better and still a lot of people would end up dissapointed. But I'm way more optimistic than I was in 2017 with the information we have got.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE, Everything seen so far suggest so. Especially how the gameplay sounds

[Synthetic_Soul]

I'm really curious about the whole horse thing. I mean I love what their doing. Because I did the same thing in RDR regardless. If I lost my horse I wouldn't let a new one spawn I'd either have to walk to town and buy one or break one in the wild.

 

But the whole "your horse can only hear you whistle from a certain distance." has me wondering, what happens when you take a train? I mean sure if you were on a stagecoach your horse could follow you like in RDR but certainly couldn't keep up with a train. Also you can't tell me that if I take a train from one town to the next I'm now horseless and have to go back and get him anyway. That's just silly.

 

So I'm imagining they have some sort of flat car on the train (similar to the ones in RDR) where you can load up your horse and tie him in before leaving the station. That'd be awesome. And I don't think anyone has brought this up on here yet.

 

What are y'all thoughts?

 

Also the last question in that interview posted above was quite interesting.

 

Rob mentions that they are still playing around with the idea of having pets like dogs, and how exactly you would interact with them if they were in the game.

 

Thought it was worth the mention.

They will reveal the new cover tomorrow May 8thI hope it wont be rdr2 related, because we are going to read exactly the same thing, what could be the cover about i wonder, hope for a suprise.

[SeniorDerp]

Considering they gave a heads up on the weekend screens and about info coming next month I doubt there'll be a GI cover next month

Probably just spawns already hitched somewhere close by the train station, unless the engineer dies while on route to the destination which would leave the player stranded. Edited May 7, 2018 by SuperKing573

I'm very curious about that, too!

Also how the trust-/trainingsystem works.

I'll take care of my partner and woe, it gets hurt ...

I think, it's gonna be something similar to BoTW - you have to tame your horse first, then you ride her and sometimes she tries to override your directions and stuff so you gotta soothe her and in time your bond with her increases.

And you also can whistle for her from short range otherwise she wouldn't come.

With all of these campfire shots of someone (folks have speculated Javier Escuella) playing guitar for the gang, I'm hoping the campfire tunes set the tone and spirit of where we are in the story or the feeling of the camp. I could see him playing a somber song as food gets low and a more lively one after a successful train robbery. Think of the role that sea shanties from AC Black Flag played, similarly I could see there being two soundtracks for the game as well!

I know it's a small detail but I'm glad to see Arthur actually sitting at the campfire.

 

I don't know why but it always irked me that all John would do was take a knee.

 

Like goddamn bruh, you just killed several hundred people, single handedly won the Mexican Revolution, and killed several of your personal friends.

 

Sit the f*ck down, relax and take a breather once in awhile eh?

Next month is e3, hope for some real contenders for rdr2

[Emmi]

I hope there's a sit button we can use at benches or really anywhere we want ... that'd be a neat feature to have.

Also I think the ability to set up a tent wherever and whenever we want is a given, right?

This should serve as a quick travel spot as well as a safe option ... but I just want to be able to sit next to the tent or even inside and relax and watch the night sky and prepare for the hunting trip.

[BLOOD]

"We can have fire, and we can have the knowledge of fire but with that comes the knowledge of everything." I love these words. Long Live Rockstar Games, Inc.!

[WanteD1]

Once again remember this masterpiece ... Dat graphics...Physics...doz animations and ...... all in 2010 and a PS3 !!!

 

 

 

I'm sure RDR2 is going to be greatest game in my life!

Graphics looks great for a open wolrd game + game play + next gen AI + story + online + ...... this game deserve more than 60$ 100%! I'm going to buy most expensive edition of game !

 

Only thing i want from rockstar .... GTA:V gun play was sh*t even with a mouse on pc! just give us RDR gun play for RDR2

[43herm]

Just stopped by Kotaku and they only posted the trailer for the game, nothing about the blowout that followed.

 

That got me thinking they got sidetracked on this and really knew only as much as we did.

[joshua969]

Predictions for the GI cover reveal tomorrow ? Pretty sure RDR2 is a slim to none chance.

Yep I agree

LA NOIRE had that feature, even though it was hidden and it was never spoke of, you could walk up to any bench, seat, or even booths in restaurants and press triangle or y to sit in them.

 

Lost my mind when I found that out by accident.

It's one of them things where it does absolutely nothing, but it makes you smile, when you see it.

[Emmi]

This is how I react when someone here or elsewhere is bitching & moaning about 'too low ground textures', 'downgrade from the first two trailers', 'they will cut most of the features we heard in the previews before release', ... and so on and so forth.

 

Ashamed! I am terribly ashamed of you! Let Rockstar Games do their work and don't bitch & moan about anything that comes to your mind, stuff that shouldn't even be brought up because everything we have seen from this game so far looks simply astonishing!

 

[MVP]

Might just be the lighting, but on the right Arthur seems to have more stubble. Beard growth confirmed?

 

 

 

I predicted the future.

You know before we knew all the juicy info and seen the screens i was 1 of a few who just wanted details and didn't need a trailer. They totally surprised me with everything they have described and spoke of. I knew it would be amazing but thus is mind blowing to me. Its like everything was almost crafted just for us die hards, wheter it's npc reactions, graphics, small details etc. I have no time to pay attention to the flaws when im amazed. Of course RDR2 will have its flaws like every game EVER. When you apply yourself to make sure pros outweighs the cons, that's what i admire from a developer. That's why without a shadow of doubt i would say This is going to be the game og the decade. At least for me, i can already tell. In RDR i would ride my horse at 5 miles a hour just admiring the environment & the sound of my horse galloping. I would ride though a town on horseback, gun in hand just looking around geeling like a outlaw for real i wouldn't even run. The story of RDR wasn't 1 of my favorite, but the gameplay will forever be my heart. This is going to be the game i get completely lost in. By the time i turn around its 5'oclock in the morning but i still cant put the game down, its that feeling i need rn. That's the feeling ONLY R* open worlds can do.

I remember not hearing much about Red Dead Redemption when it first came out, I bought it a few months after it was released based on word of mouth reviews from my friends. I think following the release this closely ruins it a bit for me. Takes some of the shine off of the diamond, as it were.

I feel ya man, right now I'm hopelessly stuck.

 

I've gotten all the details I wanted to from the previews, and I feel like learning more would spoil the game in a way. So part of me says "stay in the dark with all the info to come and see it for the first time on oct 26th" but then the other part of me acts like a moth to the flame every time I see the word "red" I start friending for more.
