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

[SeniorDerp]

From hearing that the railroad will gradually be built throughout the game

 

Technically this was the case in RDR1. You couldn't cross the rivers until the railways were built. Maybe they do plan on locking out the map

[joshua969]

Was it mentioned in any of the articles if the map/game world will be explorable from the start?

 

From hearing that the railroad will gradually be built throughout the game, and the law being after the gang. I feel like they might make you stay in certain areas/sections for a time. Or, you can go anywhere but with possible high danger.

I hope this is the case. I always loved that feeling of being able to go into a new section of the map as the story progresses.

I'm not always a huge fan of map locking, just because it usually feels so unnatural and immersion-breaking, but finally entering Mexico for the first time in RDR is probably the best thing that ever came from that approach. That sent chills down my spine the first time through.

Yes I think it was mentioned in a QnA one of the websites did with Rob Nelson.

Map locking is just fine with me. It would break my immersion more if I could enter Mexico before the storys allows me to in RDR. It just wouldnt mean as much to you if youve already been there. Sometimes your location has to be controlled by the game design to allow for better story telling and setting the tone. Of course I want to be able to explore as I please by mid campaign but I do hope they give a bit of direction for the purpose of story telling. It just has more impact.

All I can see is looking at the screenshots is Arthur "Longmire" Morgan, John "reedus" Marston and Dutch "powers" van Der linde.

 

Also: I love how even In this shot you can see Arthur's eyes saying "You sir, are full of sh*t!"

I think one of the previews mentioned that the gang will move camp depending on where you are in the story. I wonder if this will tie into unlocking new map areas that your gang has to flee to. If the caravan camp icons on the leaked map are the base camps for our gang, this would make sense as they're pretty spread out over the areas of the map.

If you could only get one location from new austin and nuevo paraiso in RDR2, which would you choose? I'd pick Macfarlane's ranch and Chuparosa or Torquemada.

Holy f*ck, I'm excited for the npc interaction from what we keep hearing. That is my most anticipated aspect of the game at this point. I just hope it's not dumbed down in online although it most likely we will if we get a silent protag. I'm also looking forward to music. hunting and story (duh).

I bet Arthur is the first one in the gang to notice Dutch going crazy but he keeps his mouth shut till something really bad happens

Hey, guys, I'm new here and that's my first post, I'm from Brazil. I've been keeping up with this thread for about 2 weeks since the information blowout from R*. Nice to meet y'all.

 

I'd like to start pointing out a new tidbit of information from the discussion on ign, posted by Len. At one point the reporter that watched the 45 min demo said that one of the developers talked about a time when he was hunting a buck and suddenly a bear crossed his path, and then, after killing both of them, he had to decide which one to take with him, but by using the new systems permeating the game, he managed to break another wild horse near the place and put both bear and buck on the back of each horse, mounting the bonded one and leading the other. I thought it was so amazing, I don't recall reading that information anywhere. Imagine the possibilities! I bet even the developers are gonna be amazed with what the players can do with the systems.

 

Changing the subject, I'm so amazed by the details in those screenshots released. Specially this one:

Look at all those details, the interiors, the dynamic light reflecting through the rain drops and bathing the ambient. So much atmosphere there, imagine all the puddles of water on the mud, people all wet running to take shelter with their boots all dirty. Brilliant. One of my favorites.

can we get a summary breakdown of that unlocked video?

Tbh Arthur always has that look. It's like the man is staring into your soul. Like "don't you mess with me..ever!"

 

I'm really diggin Arthur so far. Looks like he will be a memorable protag.

[Cutter De Blanc]

watching the video....

 

God, I hate IGN. The three people who didn't see the game are irritating as all f*ck

Tumbleweed because it would still be a thriving place at this time, and Torquemada.

Good video.

Annoying that they kept just interrupting him every time he tried to speak.

welcome, yo.

 

I thought that was awesome. Also one of the guys suggested that maybe if the bodies of people you've killed rot, then he wants to take a dead bandit to the hunting grounds and let him decay and attract predators as bait for hunting. lol. that sounds f*cking crazy but I want to do that. That sounds hilarious.

[Yelda]

Are you looking forward to hunting? I can´t wait any longer ^^
It was always my first choice to take a breath and get away from the bustle of the main story . In the previews ... hunting is described very impressive and that it doesn´t seem as simple as in the first game. That will be an incredible experience ... also in the fact that we aren´t only the hunter, but also the hunted

Edited May 18, 2018 by Yelda

[HandSoap2811]

Yes being hunted by other animals has me excited. I know bears would try and kill you in the first game but you could just out run by spamming the run button for like 10 seconds lol

[SherifWayne]

I hope we can make a bear claw necklace and be mountain men

Wow ... when I remember hearing the snarling of a puma right behind me in Rio Bravo or the loud growl of a grizzly in Tall Trees... always gave me a little heart attack ... lol ^^

You noticed that, your horse warned you with a slight snort, if you listened carefully? This suits to the subject horsemanship, which has already been mentioned ... I hope we get this again.

 

Edit: Imagine, when an alligator jumps out of the swamp, grabs your legs and pull you into the water ... f*ck ... i would scream xD

Was wondering if any info had been translated from this?

[geordr]

C'mon now!...The guy was willing to share things he witnessed during gameplay but the other three were acting like idiots, didn't let him talk.

 

That thing about finding a second horse to curry an extra dead animal was amazing!
