"later this summer" translation: on the very last day of summer

Well now we can’t say there was no Red Dead news this month.

In b4 it's one t-shirt with the cover design on it...LOL.

All kidding aside, could artwork come soon ahead of them putting up t-shirts with new artwork on it ?

2 months of long drought just for some T-Shirts?

There should still be some released digital for us to use as wallpaper, etc.

But as someone who buys this artbook 100%, I kind of hope there'll be mostly all fresh artworks inside which won't be released beforehand on the newswire, I agree with that.

[joshua969]

Wow...I never realized how much art they put out for RDR

You think that this has been a long drought??

[VigMarston]

 

Oh R*! Sometimes I wish you're vocabulary had words thats not "Soon", "Later", "Coming Weeks" or "Delayed".

suggestions: "Today","Tomorrow","This week" 

 

Btw.. They could've atleast shown how them tees look like. Wouldn't mind buying one or two 

 

[joshua969]

Fans:  Where's more info ?  We want gameplay !  We want screenshots !

R*:  What's that ?  Everyone wants shirts.  No problem...in the coming weeks !!

 

and once again....master trolling by R*

those words from R* gave me PTSD, the drought before the second trailer was the worst.

"I waited two years for a gameplay video, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

The one leading up to trailer #3 wasn't a cakewalk either....this place got a bit rough in late winter/early spring.

I do know that rob Nelson said something about the game will have dynamic music depending on what the player is doing.

Jon Ryan said on red dead radio I believe, that when they were in the town of valentine about to rob the bank, when Arthur got off his horse and stepped on the ground, a steel guitar strum and music started to ramp up.

RDR and GTA V already had dynamic music and they were amazing. Can't wait for RDR2 soundtrack which by the trailers, already sounds amazing.

T-shirts.  Really.  

 

Given the proven success of RDR, this was a chance for Rockstar to double down on their foothold in this genre, and provide some sort of unique western-themed collectible, in the spirit of the little slide viewers in advance of GTAV.  Something that builds on the RDR2 theme-related anticipation.  

RDR2 is a unique, once-on-a-generation game, a signpost in the history of video games. T-shirts are just lazy, easy, tone-deaf marketing. 

 

 

 

[Not Kmart]

The Fall Equinox is September 22. Lol expect news on the T shirts the day before

We will get news in August.

The investors call is the 2nd right? 

So R* will release the nightclub dlc (supposedly next Tuesday) that means the the next Treasure hunt will be coming this month.

And maybe a teaser for gameplay trailer, Artwork or screenshots on July 31st or August 1st.

They will definitely have other merchandise to buy eventually.

its one of the merchandising

[luke73tnt]

Well my faith for a gameplay trailer this month is gone and my hype has been considerably lowered

[joshua969]

@saintsrow  I remember those viewers...gave me an idea.  How about putting out miniature versions of the Viewfinders from the 70's and 80's with screenshots of the scenery or wildlife from RDR2 ?

[eighthdoctor]

Even if these tees are just the RDR/RDR2 logos, dammit I'm gonna get them. I'm a sucker for RDR-related stuff. 

[VigMarston]

Even after 5 years! This game man.. Unbelievable!
