I was hoping they wouldnt do AC like that again where they release a new one every year or so, but i guess thats dumb to not expect Ubisoft to do that. I'd also say im excited for Fallout 76 but we literally got nothing but a video of a busted out room and someone with a vault 76 jumpsuit on. Kotaku leaks say itll be an online game like Elder Scrolls Online? idk. If so that sounds like garbage. They need to just hand the next game off to Obsidian already. New Vegas is, and will continue to be, the best 3D fallout.

Fallout would've been a close second, but because of these online rumors, nothing is even close to RDR2 for me.

My prediction is that the new Fallout is gonna be a multiplayer focused, microtransaction filled pile of sh*t. You could even tell by the trailer that they're still using the same old crappy engine, I always figured Bethesda only focused on the shooting in F4 because of their future plans of re-using it in a multiplayer Fallout game. And i kind of figure I'm gonna be right about that. 

Nope, From Software's new game and RDR2 are the only things i'm looking forward to at the moment.

Figured I'd post this just in case anyone here has yet to see it.

It's a really good listen, not much we don't already know but it's still hella interesting and it's nice to hear someone who has seen the game actually talk about it at length without being rudely interrupted every five seconds 

Cough ign Cough

 

 

 

Thx for this Synthetic! This was awesome to hear.

I know its not the right place for this (i dont know where to post it) but has anyone else also problems since they changed to the new design? Before when I clicked on a thread it brought me to the last site I stopped reading. Now it doesnt. Also the whole page seems slower to me.

Sorry for being offtopic

It's not just you. The new forum runs like dirt unfortunately.

The new AC was developed along side Origins so it's been in development for quite a while.

Fallout 76 isn't a mmo like ESO but a online survival RPG akin to Rust, Ark, DayZ, Conan Exiles etc. Actually the Fallout IP is perfect for the genre but I'm personally not interested after Fallout 4 being crap.

[Spitta_Vercetti]

Just to be safe....I’m not expecting any news until the week of the 25th lol

I know there’s E3 but I’m taking that with a grain of salt.....

[Synthetic_Soul]

@DGSimo agreed, fallout 4 was sh*t. IMHO it's time for a new elder scrolls. Yeah they've milked TF out of skyrim but I'd be much more interested in an ES game as opposed to fallout. Especially since Skyrim was in 2011 and fallout 4 was what? 2015?

[Mirokunite]

I'd like some news between now and E3, and its certainly possible R* will do that.They may want to get the preorders info out before E3 to preempt other companies, or they might pull a fast one and show up at a conference showing off special editions.

But in my heart I feel it will be the week of the 17th (or later) that R* will drop new info.

@Synthetic_Soul

Me too  I'm very excited about random events and hopefully this time we have more options how we can interact.

See the big hotel in the pic ... What a nice view from the rooms ...
Gallows and to the left of the police department the mortuary ... hmm nice. lol

And a view across flat iron lake to a now accessible area

But on another note, R* has said that you will be controlling the gang members "indirectly". I feel like the gang members won't feel lifelike if we for example have a button on the controller (or a keyboard HAH JK) dedicated to issue commands to gang members. I hope it's more like you get to choose who does what in a heist/robbery and then leave them to it. That way when they do some awesome sh*t it's because they chose to do it, not because you pressed a button.

[Cozzi]

Now that ive heard this Jon Ryan guy from IGN talk on Red Dead Radio without being interrupted every 20 seconds by a pair of numb nuts, it seems like he knows waaay too much about this game and the one before it. Like, he must be a forum dweller like us or have went through the RDR wikia extensively to know some of this stuff like we do. Also seems like he's genuinely interested in this game as a fan and not just as his job the way a lot of journalists do. I mean, I guess its no wonder why though, its the next R* game, however I'm very biased. lol 

I wonder if hes here right now... watching us... lol

Yep, it's a nice deterrent I'd say.

"come on into town! stay at the motel and enjoy yourself." But the whole time your in the motel there's this Kafkaesque reminder that "Hey, if you f*ck around you'll be arrested, thrown in jail, and if need be hung by the neck until dead whereas your body will then be tossed into flat iron lake.

I think that was already confirmed or its been hinted at.. 

Like in some scenes we only see Arthur and Bill and in other we see the entire gang

Don't think RDR2 is getting a spot on the Figueroa this year...

You also get to recruit gang members by aiming your gun at people and demanding they join Dutch's Gang. That's how they ended up with Uncle's old ass.

What? No way! Where did you see/read that? Sounds awesome.

Seeing this gives me a bit of hope that Fallout 76 will actually be a true spin-off, and not the online RUST-type game that's rumored.

But then I remember...   Bethesda...

Ugh... Bioware just needs to die already. EA done enough damage to it.

Good to be back on this thread! Long live gtaforums!

[Jason]

Does Rockstar ever do the Figueroa mural for E3? GTA V's was at the end of July/early August, MP3's was like April?

[Spider-Vice]

If Fallout 76 releases in Fall as well, they may leave the mural up until close to release, no? Which would steal it from RDR2.

[Knightfury]

I am pretty sure take two/Rockstar have their marketing strategy ready and surely they would have planned about this months ago maybe they're trying not to heavily advertise rdr 2 or maybe they have some surprises up their sleeves

Possible, I guess. Dunno how long those murals stay up though, can't imagine it's for months and months.
