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

[joshua969]

@ Jimmy Darmody....interesting idea. You might not be too far off if theyre going for a more dynamic and immersive environment that aims to blend together main and side missions. One of the previews said theres a lot more people in Dutchs gang than the main ones featured so far.

Rockstar Games will never make another Manhunt

Thank god you don't work for Rockstargames or know anything about what game R* will create.

How does that got to do with anything......I said that because it a fact, Rockstar Games are only going to be doing GTA and Red Dead every 5-8 years going forward. Manhunt was never a successful IP and that level of grotesque was pre-2013 Rockstar Games. And as the most beloved game company in the world they now have fanboys and fangirls the age of 5 years old. Imagine a bloody game from them today, it hard to imagine tbh. LMFAOOO This dude (Blood your HILARIOUS man don't change)oh yea its a fact? Agh i forgot your the Take Two aficionado the nerve of me to question tou LOL.

[SeniorDerp]

 

Knowing the trailers are off a base PS4 makes me so happy to know I’ll be playing this on a OneX.. It’s going to be fantastic

 

Just out of curiosity, on which TV will you be playing?

Right now it’s just a 60” Samsung 1080. I’m already prepping the girl for when BlackFriday rolls around that we’re going to jump to a 70” 4K lol Can’t be playing RDR2 in some blurry 1080

All of the people you see on this image are going to be the 7 major support characters in game. They belong to Dutch's gang but they do not serve as henchmen just as handymen.

 

 

This guy is the camps doctor. He heals you if needed and is going to do health consumables (medicine, horse pills...) for you if you bring him plants or certain animal body parts. In fact, Bringing him plants is going to substitute the Survivalist challenge from RDR1.

 

 

This woman is a horse whisperer. If you do certain side activities to her she'll teach you how to have a stronger bond with your horse and she'll offer you certain horse related items like apples, an horse comb, saddles that can carry more weight or horse blinkers. She can also offer you rare horse breeds if you do most of her side quests.

 

 

This woman is a spy master. Doing her side quests earns you Stealth meter. You can unlock certain "distraction" skills by doing her side quests like whistling to call an unsuspecting enemy (much like in Mafia 3) or having one of the camp's ladies seduce an enemy so that you can get inside places silently.

 

 

This is Uncle. He's the gangs armorer. You can buy guns and bullets from him and he can also imrpove the guns you already own. Through certain side quests he may offer you special guns. His side quests involve sharpshooting activities that are going to substitue the sharpshooter challenges from RDR1.

 

 

This guy, possibly named Micah Bell, is the Hunting & Fishing Master. You can get hunting and fishing supplies from him like fishing bait, fishing rods and nets, hunting bait, camouflage, all sorts of decoys (example: mallard duck hunting whistle) and the dreaded Buffalo Riffle. His side quests are about hunting particular species, including legendary animals much like the higher levels of the Red Dead Redemption hunting challenge. For that reason, his side quests substitute the Hunting challenges from RDR1.

 

 

This is Pearson. He's the camp's cook. His side missions simply consist of bringing him game and fish on a regular basis. Doing this earns you health meter and a few other occasional rewards like money and cooked food.

 

 

This woman is Lennie's wife. She's the gang's seamstress and hairdresser. You can buy outfits from her or have them tailored if you bring her pelts from animals you skinned. Her side quets consists of bringing her specific animal pelts.

 

 

 

 

Or maybe... i'm completly wrong, after all what i just posted is complete speculation, completly pulled outta my ass . But i found it interesting that there's a shot of these specific guys on a brief moment on trailer 3 so i though these guys could potentially have a greater role in game than meets the eye. And they don't look like average outlaws. What are your thoughts?

 

Interesting theory, nonetheless.

 

PS Micah Bell is this guy

 

 

[BLOOD]

Yes there is the Torture scene and controversy around it but since then Rockstar Games have laid low even the updates to GTA Online are more fun, wacky and kid friendly. What I mean is, Rockstar Games cannot make another AO rated game like Manhunt.

Thank you, i'm really hoping to get at least a couple of things i speculate about right xD

 

That guy i thought could be Micah Bell doesn't look like him after all. It's hard to tell due to image resolution, but their face hair looks quite different, so thank you for pointing that out.

For those who cant decide on which console, as an owner of an Xbox One X and a PS4 Pro, I can say with great confidence that I strongly recommend the Pro or a regular PS4 because the PS4 is better for gaming in general. The One is more of an all in one entertainment system that doesnt focus on gaming like the PS4. The pros and cons are this: the PS4 can download 3 things at a time but cant download them while youre offl the PS4 unlesss you put it on rest mode and leave it running , the One can only download one thing at a time but can download it while the system is turned off. So all and all, in my personal opinion, I recommend the PS4

Did you, uh, not play GTA V with it's torture scene? Lmao.

You talk some right sh*t

 

Also who gives a f*ck if the fans are 5. The game is certified for 18 or whatever

[StarAngelWolf]

Is anybody else afraid of getting too much information on the game? For example, more info on the story or anything that would possibly spoil the game? Besides the gameplay which virtually everyone wants. I know I can't wait to see it!

If I know too much of the game, I feel like it would somehow ruin the experience. I want to figure the game out as I play it, not before it comes out. Then it's like "Oh I already know about this part of the game." After Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out as you play it. I don't mean that I'd rather know nothing, but a little bit of mystery makes the game more exciting to finally play. At least for me it does.

I mean, you could always just avoid trailers and forums like these altogether if you REALLY want to keep the game a mystery. Im trying to avoid spoilers myself, Ive seen all the trailers though, and probably will watch any future releases by Rockstar. Edited May 9, 2018 by Stormingz

They likely won't reveal any of that until much closer to release.

[BLOOD]

Mach: Alright......just curious because it looks like GTA Online was revealed way early back then (I could be wrong).

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

Remember when me and few guys was saying the horse in trailer 2 was mimicking Arthur? Well watching the beyond video about rdr2, they say your horse can even do a little dance.

Not sure if Rockstar Games will ever make another GTA, at the rate they're going.

 

GTA Online is a never-ending cash cow, so it's not obvious that a single-player story mode GTA has any place in the gaming universe any more. But I'd be happy to get a new city map, every ten years or so.

[Auditore]

God, Rockstar Games need more studios, 9 is not enough.

 

Jeez game development is getting ridiculous.

I mean as long as you buy it on day 1 which I know 99% of players here will, you shouldn't really worry about being spoiled in terms of story on Rockstar's behalf. They will talk about the obvious or the beginning of the game, nothing too major.

 

However your biggest concern should be those "leaks" especially when it's close to release, as you may not know which leaks are legit and which are lesh*t. Plus after release your bound to be spoiled as it will be all over your newsfeed, reviews, YouTube subscriptions, In here, maybe at your work.

Watching this video after the 3 trailers already changes Dutch's Death for me,i'm way more intrigued by what he says before his death,can't wait to find more about him.

I'm gonna have to avoid gamers on YouTube like the plague. RDR 2 is gonna be everywhere and I'm going to be so tempted to watch playthroughs of it.

I avoid the YouTube comment sections like a plague come the launch of something I'm hyped about. They aint worth reading most of the time anyway but they're always hell when something big comes out.

I want the best visual enhanced version of red dead 2 obviously rockstar is going to come up with the pc version later but i think the xbox x is going to have the best version at release or no?

Off course im also going to judge which one i get depending on E3. Ps4 im only looking forward to last of us 2, while xbox has gears 5,halo 6 and i really hope they unveil the next fable at least a teaser!!

Edited May 9, 2018 by Virus..

[Jason]

In order of (console) power it goes: One X > PS4 Pro > PS4 > Xbox One. Naturally that means that in theory the One X should have the "best" version but Sony have the marketing deal and Rockstar wouldn't be the first developer to involve them selves into a bit of console parity.

 

Really though if you have friends getting the game too then go where they are for the multiplayer, the games still gonna look and play great regardless of what platform you play it on.

I think by the end of this game we're all going to be completely like "I really want to f*ckng kill this Bill Williamson guy"
