Hopefully "Didn't appreciate it" doesn't mean opened fire like in GTA. I'm still a little sceptical on how well this communication with AI system will work.

There's several example from the hands-on previews of Sherifs simply telling Arthur to behave or leave the town.

 

And a bunch variations of this, dependent on what Arthur has done Or said, and where he is in the world.

They're aiming for lots of realism in the tiny details.  I wonder if the bullet will eventually come down to earth again when you shoot into the air?

Haha

 

Funny thought.

 

In GTA V, you could actually mod the weapons.meta file into both replacing a hit-scan with an actual physical bullet, and also give said bullet a lot of parameters for, among other things, gravity damping, meaning it WOULD come down again, if I wasn't for the fact that it would fly out beyond the engine's draw distance limit first.

I can't stand games with poor acting, this is fantastic news to me.

Their voice acting is amazing even with NPCs

I had a bad dream or I did I really read somewhere that Zanar Aesthetics were getting the game on October 15th?

Tiny morsel of info from a smaller yet vetted site.

To give an example, I ran into a situation where a bar brawl spilled out in front of me while in town. I wasn’t involved, but I fired a warning shot in the air to try and break it up. Despite my good intentions, the nearby lawmen didn’t appreciate it.

THAT SOUNDS f*ckING AWESOME !!!

Nice, non-spoilery short article. I agree with the writer's sentiment quoted below. 

 

Quote

 

This is all punctuated by what might have been the most well-scripted and believable voice-acting I’ve heard. It’s not the sexiest feature, but it’s the glue that ties all of the other more prominent features together. You can look and feel next-gen, but rough writing can send the immersion crashing back down to reality.

 

The writing part is a major reason why I've only been able to get into a select number of non-Rockstar products, and that's coming from someone who also criticized GTA V's writing in many occasions. Rockstar is doing it right, in a believable and immersive way. I sometimes go to YouTube and still enjoy watching some of San Andrea's cutscenes, because the acting is superb, unique and non-robotic, and that's a 14-years-old game.

This little snippet of Forbes' article got me so hyped.

The sheer fact that the hostiles NPCs tried to kick his ass first with their bare hands and pulled out a gun ONLY AFTER it didn't go their way, is just such a huge leap forward compared to previous R* games.

Straight facts! I love that! Enemies wont immediate open fire on you which is great compared to gtaV

Well, there go my hopes for them learning about GTAO's mistake.

They seem to think it's "robust".

Hey, Dan, you reading this? It's not "robust", mate, it's horrible.

Takes like twelve hour to join a session, the lobbies are awful, unreadable and impractical, and it's a tryhard/griefer cesspool.

I'm also worried about this but im sure that they'll fix what didn't work in gtao or rdr1 online.

They were so close to activating that feature but decided not to.

 

Here you can see how simple it is to turn it on :

I know this is off topic but from what I've seen from at least some of you over the last few years I know there's some care for me.. so wanted to tell you I'm going to the doctors and off to see my psychologist.. my body hurts everywhere and my heart and I almost fell after dinner when walking to my room, I had a major anxiety attack out of no where and was already hurting then it just kinda erupted... I hope I can come back later idk I know I'm usually trying to mask my pain and be all upbeat and punny and creative and sh*t but this is no joke , I feel really f*cked up like this a lot of the time

Has this been posted yet? I haven't watched it all yet, but it's Lazlow talking about RDR, apparently.

It's from August, so I apologize if it's been shared before.

I always said Rockstar's biggest enemy is GTA's tone and humor,the cinism makes it hard to write for,its a 30 hour open world game and the same type of humor all the time becomes stale.Red Dead is much more inviting with likeable characters and good charismatic characters(someone like Bonnie would never fit in a GTA game).

hey dude i've been a lurker for a while (2011 i guess) but don't post too often.

 

Throughout my time here I've come to recognise your name and personality. Legit only yesterday I went on your twitter and bumped some of your music.

Anyway, just wanted to say my thoughts are with you as I imagine are many others here. I've been through the mill with similar stuff to what it sounds like you're describing, and while, to me at least, I haven't found the 'cure', please know that your anxiety doesn't define you. Your soul defines your body, not the other way around. 

 

I don't know how to fix you, otherwise I would, but know that there's an open ear (or inbox  )  right here if you ever need to chat about anything. I hope you can come back later, too. I think you will, and I look forward to it. Stay safe dude, lots of love.

It's kind of weird that we're not going to have prostitutes services considering it's a R* game. (I know the first RDR didn't  have it either)

GTA could get away with it because the sexing stuff happened inside the car,so they could hide the silly scene of two computer generated characters rubbing against nothing.You can't have sex with a prostitute on your horse

 

Only Geralt can do that.

They don’t, read Dan Houser’s clarification on the matter. It’s pretty sad that people tend to ignore this kind of stuff.

Hey all, long time lurker here, been coming here off and on for R* news since shortly before TBOGT released, finally decided to take the plunge and make an account here. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you here that have made the wait go by so much easier these last couple of weeks! I've had the wind taken out of my sail a few times over the last few months, but knowing that one of my favorite gaming companies has a new release right around the corner has kept my mind occupied, especially for the last month or so. I'll be playing the game a bit later than a lot of you (living five hundred miles away from all my family, and my mother preordered it at the only place around here that'll be selling it, Walmart, which unfortunately doesn't allow me to pick up til eight in the morning), but the way I look at it is I've just got a few more hours to be excited and look forward to it Only worry I have is if I can sleep the night before, haha. It's just next week now. Can't wait to experience this work of art and discuss it with everyone!
