Red Dead Redemption 2: Discussion & Speculation (Part 4)

[jimbos0013]

Now that the cult... ehm church has closed it is time for me to go dark. It is extremely risky imo to get a few spoilers

Thank you all for everything.

Stay strong, stay spoiler free.

See you all a few days after the 26th

R* just give me a black outfit and i will be the new Sentenza

I liked it better when we talked about Red Dead and not what the forum was doing

At least I can again say how amazing this right here is.

This just goes to show that, unlike most developers, R* crafts everything by hand. This is what sets them apart, and why RDR2 is gonna be a masterpiece.

I feel the issue with this statement is that we've seen this with countless games and it ultimately fell flat. Let's hope this is true.

NPC cloning is like the cancer of gaming particularly in the action-adventure open world genre(s). GTA V and Witcher 3 improved on it so RDR2 can do much better. FPS games are worst as well but i think they use random generation ( I remember seeing soldiers or zombies that all look alike lol).

I really liked this part in the trailer. Getting to finally see Arthur being attacked by an animal. I like how the two wolves in the back aren't attacking just yet and waiting. They seem much more tactical in that way instead of them just all swarming you like in RDR.

Seeing Saint Denis in motion in the gameplay trailer, I call bullsh*t. I'll be amazed if every NPC has their own different individual personality

here's hoping

RDR was like a beta version of it and that one is still pretty impressive. Seening as this game is like 10 times bigger and deeper, I wouldn't expect anything else.

It seems like the feature from RDR 1 is back where the wolves can jump up on your arm and cripple you which is awesome. It adds alot to the intensity in the fight and makes it feel more interactive, also as said in a review you can see the blood on the wolf's face after the bite. The fights are going to be brutal, and it is going to be fantastic. My only slight concern is with the lighting in the game, it feels a bit over the top imo.

Why? They already did this in games like Bully and the first Redemption.

RDR2 will be Rockstar India's first ever project and hopefully not their last. I could see them becoming Rockstar's bragging right to Ubisoft's Pune studio in India. And one of their Big 5: North, San Diego, India, Toronto, and Leeds.

FarCry5 is amazingly bad at cloning NPC. You can have two companions with you that are identical lol it’s crazy

My batterys nearly dead chief. But interested on your last point re the lighting.. I think it looks immense. But curious how you think it's ott etc? 

I think it's a huge step up. Huge. 

 

But not having a dig. Genuinely curious on your thoughts too

[MrHarlow]

It's been a easy few months with time flying. I know trying to hide from spoilers for the rest of the month will make the time go by so slow. 

 

I'm surprised rockstar is sharing the "spoiler' articles.

How long do i have until the pre order bonuses are gone? And do you guys think we will be able to give away completely the ingame cash bonus to beggars and the camp. I dont really want to spend it and be OP.

[GhostfaceScream29]

So is Nuevo Paraiso 100% confirmed to be apart of the RDR 2 map or just New Austin?

Don't see why not. Giving it to the camp helps your camp out though. Giving it to beggars probably raises your honor

Yeah I'm sure we can spend it on anything we want. I'll give it away or buy stuff that doesn't give me an advantage.

Well my friends it's been a wonderful ride I can't thank you all enough. Knowing what little info about the map just dropped is awesome but even that's more then I needed to know. I'm out have a wonderful October I'll see you sometime in November after the joy.

This is probably the first day that has made me nervous when it comes to spoilers, and it will just get worse and worse until the 26th. Have to say I should've prepared better.

 

I read the biggest news though, and I LOVE what they are doing with New Austin and Nuevo Paraiso. It makes it so much more exciting going into a game where you haven't seen glimpses of all the states.

I think the sun rays are generally a bit too strong for my taste, This is probably the best (and worst) example;

 

This one looks good for sure, but still too strong sun rays for my taste and as in many pics we have seen, everything looks kinda foggy and it's hard to see clear. Maybe the shots are just mostly to showcase the different kind of weather effects in the game and therefore most of them have extreme lighting effects.
