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

[Knightfury]

Supposedly ( Rumoured )  Fallout 76 might be coming sooner than we all think new leak from Amazon uk suggest july 31 release date well this might be false but it makes sense that Bethesda will release the game within 2-4 months after announcement considering this might not be a full fallout game and they always wanted to shorten the time between release and initial announcement so mural right now makes sense right

Heard some info that legacy killah has talked about that battle royale is allegedly not gonna be a part of the online mode of rdr2.

1. I'm sort of bummed because I've not really got into fortnite (or pubg cos im not a pc gamer) and I thought that rockstar would make a sick version of the game mode.

2. I'm happy that rockstar aren't doing it (if the info is legit) because they're not a company to follow trends, but make them. So good on them.

So slightly ambivalent, but I'm siding on the happy side they're not conforming to the gaming norm/trend at the moment. They look like they've got a great game on their hands at the moment. Why sully that with battle royale.

Ps can you imagine the clientele it would attract to online. Not into that.

I'd be really surprised if there isn't some kind of version of Battle Royale in Red Dead Online. Maybe not with 100 people and it likely won't start with a parachute drop but definitely an every man for themselves Death Match on a shrinking map style adversary mode.

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.

Oh how i miss San Andreas lol

Yeah I have to agree, as much as I don't care for BR games I could see myself being shamefully addicted to a RDRII version if it's done the right way.

Even if it's not available upon release I feel it's a little naive to think it won't be in the game at some point. Maybe not a full on battle royale but I'm pretty sure we'll see a rockstar version.

Honestly,Batle Royale in RDR 2 is a weird concept,if Rockstar was releasing a GTA instead of Red Dead this year then fine the Battle Royale mode makes sense but 100 cowboys in a constantly shrinking map doesnt go well with me.The picture that came to my mind is Arthur Morgan and Dutch parachuting to Armadillo

Fml I think the new GI cover will be Anthem 

RDR2 likely won't be getting one. Not this late in the game. The July issue will be their E3 coverage and I don't see their August and September issues being devoted to it, so close to release.

There was also a rumour the new GI was Rocksteadys new title. I don't think it'll be Anthem though given their recent postings. We'll find out Tuesday.

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.

I don't even think the mural would last the elements that long, let alone the costs. lol

Howdy, gringos

Feels good to be back. The last few months i could only be on my phone and  just READ all your stuff. I'm looking forward to analyse & discuss all these upcoming news, trailers, pics and possible leaks and read all that bulls**t that you guys come up with (i know this forum   ) Just wanted to throw this in.

Did you forget the trusted review leak

I hope they bring back first-person mode and improve upon the character movement. It was a nice addition in GTAV, but the sluggish way your character moved made it kind of a chore to use.

Just finished Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, so more first-person Western action would be nice. Plus first-person horse riding is always fun.

This month's info can't come soon enough.

Let's just hope that isn't June 30th!

GI's E3 issue is the August issue. Their next issue is the July issue, which is out at the start of next month - before E3. Could be the new AC, Origins was their July cover last year.

Also, BoTW had a cover I think the month of launch (?) so there's no such thing as too close to release, that said i'm not personally expecting a GI cover now. Think Rockstar are gonna favour press events over them.

Battlefield or Anthem could be the next issue,EA has 2 heavy hitters that are close to release.Battlefield 5 changes alot of gameplay mechanics(based on previews) and they probably want to do some heavy promotion for Anthem because it's a new IP

I hope the cash bonus for story mode isn't lots of money (Over $10,000).  In GTA V story mode for PS4 franklin got a cash bonus of $500,000. He is a street hustler that never made that amount of money in his life, so it ruins the immersion if he starts with $500,000

I'm getting RDR 2 for PS4 though

Preorder content will likely be the same only with the exclusive online content for ps4.

[VigMarston]

^^ Holy hell!! Am I gonna team up with my best buddy "War horse" again?

[Cozzi]

"outlaw Survival Kit"?? A pistol?? lol
"In addition, pre-order by July 31, 2018 to get an exclusive Treasure Map for Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode. "

A physical map? I want a map! I also want the collectors editions and merch and RDR2 edition PS4 though. So just gimme me all the things. lol

[Jason]

Full pre-order news this upcoming week then I take it? 

[DGSimo]

Given that there's no Red Dead Online bonuses with preorders I'm assuming they might be launching it later then like GTAV?
