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

[luke73tnt]

We got one more day for them to show us something and if they don’t that means that “and more” was either the collectors box or they lied. I’m sticking with my prediction that they’ll show something around July 15th

I am pretty sure they said late June or early July for the next info. Seeing as the collectors editions were announced early June means that isn't the announcement.

Agreed

[joshua969]

I'm surprised they haven't released more batches of screenshots.  I remember them releasing screenshots quite frequently leading up to the release of GTAV.

I could have sworn I read that or heard it somewhere. Honestly can't recall from where though.

Y’all reaching at this point....just wait for it.....

I imagine R* right now thinking:

 

''f*ck f*ck f*ck,why did we leave the ''and more'' part there?I knew they would want more info.We didn't even mean it at all.It just came like that.Whatever.''

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

In not even entertaining More meant just a f*ckin collector's box. Even with the Nightclub update coming I doubt that stops anything RDR2 related. GTA & RDR2 will have to co-exist. Whether it's in the same week or month. The special editions were set for June, the "more" could have been planned for July, who knows. Special editions, trailers, screens now you have to give customers a significant reason to buy your game now. I highly doubt gameplay is far off but I know the last few months in game development is hard and r* like sh*t to be right so ima be patient and see what happens.

It'd be funny if out the blue they posted a Newswire article titled "and more" that contains just one RDR2 screenshot.

 

(the collectors box was the "more")

I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

I am a little surprised we haven't seen anything yet for gameplay since pre-orders stop July 31st.

Well July 31st is still a month off

True but just seems like missed opportunity to not show something right after the announcement of pre-order starting.

[damienrayemusic]

my gut tells me gameplay is in july. thats why the 'pre order before july 31st' was said. i think the new gtao treasure hunt has something to do with it too. i know the weapon challenges are connected to your account, but there may be certain things they need to put in before the game ships too, to make ssure everyone gets the different variations?? itll go gold in just a couple months so who knows..

I definitely think we'll get something next month, as others have said the treasure map thing ends at the end of July so they'll surely want to do at least one big marketing push before that ends. Gameplay is probably quite likely, teasing into RDRO coverage for August like they did with GTA V's gameplay video.

[joshua969]

I'm predicting the last week of July...keep that gameplay trailer fresh in everyones mind before the pre-order bonus expires.

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

A Game informer is out the question huh?

[Hugoat]

Gameplay trailer and more previews coming next.

I think.

Most people say we don't need it because of the previews, but an early August reveal to coincide with a gameplay trailer released in late July could work.

[Jason]

The August edition of GameInformer (which is the next issue) is traditionally their E3 coverage.

I just want to know when that Nightclub DLC is coming out, after we find that out we can try and guess when we'll get that RDR2 gameplay/screenshot or whatever promotional piece of content it might be. Because i doubt R will release any RDR2 stuff before the DLC is out.

 

Something tells me it's dropping July 13, but it's just a guess. The fact that the double Cash & RP event is ending July 2 is interesting though.

I've heard that big update like this usually drop the second Tuesday of the month.

That city in the jigsaw is no where near the size of Los Santos. It's the size of one of it's smaller suburbs at best, the arena near the airport is probably nearly as big as the entire town.

Exacty! St. Denis will obviously be much much much smaller than Los Santos. However I don't give a damn as long as it is much more detailed than than GTAV.

I thought the same thing about it ending on July 2nd, but I'm not sure R would do anything next week with it being the 4th of July on Wednesday.

The second Tuesday of July is July 10th, which sounds about right. It would also give RDR2 enough room to "shine" sometime later that month as well.

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

As we have seen before with RDR2, it doesn't matter if it's the week of or a week after. When they are ready, they dont give AF if its a update week or not. When the Nightclub release date is released we could try to guess when, but we know how spontaneous these f*ckers are. I know it's not much longer, I know that. I waited almost a year just to find out who the protagonists was, i can wait for gameplay or screens.

They'll probably announce the release date next week. Release it the following week. Do the new treasure hunt the week after. That leaves 2 more Tuesdays in July to show RDR stuff.
