Game should be gold any moment now... should there be an announcement?

 I just can't wait to hunt and get completely sidetracked by random stranger events in the process. No joke, this meme could be me:

The game has already gone gold, there will be no announcement 

[dazzathomas09]

Not 100% Red dead related but Rockstar are still giving GTA Online bonuses for anyone that pre ordered the Ultimate Edition of RDR2

 

[Jabalous]

I'm still wondering if they will use the background score, or some of it/mixed, that is used in Redemption's map in II? It's beautiful, soothing and reflective. Gonna be a surprise!

Has anyone heard any news about the Art Book?

They can't possibly have cancelled it AGAIN...right?

Don't get why people think this would be a better cover, imo Red Dead's cover should always be the protag aiming a gun, was done in Revolver and Redemption I.

Are you joking around, or is that actually true?

If it's true, you got a source?

I wonder if there is an option of walking around without wearing a gun belt - I know it's an odd thing to do - just curious.

Idk if you can unequip your gun belt but you can leave all your weapons with your horse

Yes I realize the horse can store your weapons - was just toying with possibilities. For instance why does Bill Williamson appear on one occasion without his beard ? Is that a mission scripted detail or do we have some influence/control over the other gang member's appearance in any way ?

PART II

 

I've once again created somewhat high quality GIFs of every scene in the recent gameplay trailer part II (part I here), hopefully useful for forum discussion. Like last time unfortunately there are a couple of GIFs with noticeably bad quality due to compression issues/GIFs not allowing more than 256 individual colours (this affects longer scenes/sunset scenes) but I've left them in to complete the collection.

 

https://imgur.com/a/ABbxK44 - loads every GIF at once, there are 82 so be warned.

https://imgur.com/a/ABbxK44?grid - grid view doesn't load every GIF at once on desktop, might be easier to use for some.

 

When viewing at the Imgur link the quality will not be the best as they aren't displayed as the original GIFs and instead compressed .MP4s, if you change/add .gif to end of the link of the image it will display in higher quality when adding to a forum post (will load slower though).

 

To make it easier this time for mobile users to find specific scenes without opening the entire Imgur album at once, I've included a descriptive list below with direct links to each GIF/scene in order.

Charles showing some scars there I haven't seen in the trailers or earlier artwork.  

Was it ever confirmed that you can get permanent scars, deformities, amputations, any of that?   Seems a bit extreme, but I wouldn't be opposed to it as an option:

 

RDR2:   Arthur's eye just got shot out.   Do you want to permanently wear an eyepatch, or just look regular?   True Grit Arthur?   Y/N

RDR2:   Arthur's right leg just got blown off.  Do you want a pegleg?   Shipping Up to Boston... Y/N?

RDR2:   Arthur lost (another) finger in Five Finger Fillet.  Lose them digits, or nah?

He does have this big ass scar on artwork and screenshots. Even in his first appearence in the second trailer.

“Which one”????

[Vespid]

For 2 years all of us were like,

"R* give us more info, show us the map, tell us if rdr1 parts are there. Why do you guys dont give info to us and make us suffer".

"R* be like alright boys..we give you the first 5 hours of the game".

All of us lose our sh*t and start cussing at R* for releasing it.

 

 

[Riverstone]

Brace yourselves for this frightening idea. Just imagine the single player is an utterly amazing masterpiece with everything you wanted and then R* announce that the online multiplayer part will be RDR2 online - The MUSICAL ! OMG - The disappointment would resonate for years !!! Try not to have nightmares.

I think I might try and copy the image on the right tbh, semi-clean, well kept beard and all-round badass. 

[J.Dillinger Blackheart]

Seems like something got leaked. This is why I've been very leery to come here. I don't want to know sh*t. I just like hearing people's enthusiasm, hype and plans at this point. I don't need to see another screenshot or nothing. I'm completely sold. Just poking my head in, top of the morning boys and girls. Enjoy your day people, we're another day closer.
