Could they have taken that from the first red dead redemption? Those top three look like a slightly different art style than Arthur.

Yea I agree the art style looks different to me too.

it look like a younger landon rickett so not from RDR

The art is different. The cutouts are exact from the artworks of RDR1. Just interesting how they put them on RDR2 stuff at all... a guy in gameplay trailer 2 looked like Landon Ricketts. Js.

Yeah I gave it a thought and I guess you're right, also it's Leigh Johnson in the middle. Damn

I hope the launch trailer will convince me to buy the game, i'm still not sold yet. 

 

I doubt the launch trailer's gonna do anything about that.

You can just wait for review or 'till we guinea pigs get our hands on the game and confirm it's the best entertainement product ever made.

My exact thoughts when i saw the tweet lol...we both know they gonna ship on Wed

the latest ive seen is "take 2 interactive software euro" delivering to retailers' distribution centres on the morning of the 25th, they then send out direct to customers that day for 26th postal delivery or to their stores for launch

 

 

they operating a tight ship this time round

How could you not be sold yet? Like how is that possible in any way? Have you not watched the trailers? Have you not read the previews?

You are correct, it isn't possible, I was just joking. Sarcasm is tough to do on the internet .

I guess this game is gonna be first one since GTA San Andreas (or partially Bully), where you will be able to take all clothes off in freeplay. (In GTA 5 you could only go half-naked when Trevor chose to do so, but not in a clothes menu)

actually you could take your clothes off in V.

you just had to go into every clothing category and select "None"

You spoke in tongues, using a gif stating you're joking is far too vague, bror

You can't strip down to your underwear until you beat the storyline

 

Just like real life

Allegedly, they have to lock away their consoles and game in a closet or drawer when not playing...to avoid leaks..lmao

This is clearly a bandana over his face. Not the neckerchief, and the neckerchief is nowhere to be seen in the first screen...

...instead we see Arthur's hairy chest going partially bald because he always has his neckerchief there.

Chest/back hair tonic confirmed?))

This game and Rockstar are last hope for me as a gamer. I am in my 30s and to be honest,  slowly losing interest when it comes to gaming, mostly by being disappointed with big companies such as Activision,  EA or Ubisof. Used to really enjoy early CoD series, EA sports games and Ubisof open world games. But they all failed in one way or another. Just recently,  EA destroyed everything good about NHL EASHL mode and Ubisoft yesterday completely killed For Honor with their incompetence.  I am left with GT Sport and last mission in Yakuza. That is all. I am far from Rockstar fanboy, but RDR2 is literally my last hope to continue with video games. If they would to fail for any reason (I am sure they won't ) I would sell my ps4 and my games and get library membership so I can go back to reading books all day. At certain point,  you just stop to tolerate gaming industry bs they serve to their customers and you move along with other hobbies.  So far Rockstar is truly the only gaming company that never failed me and I really hope they do deliver with RDR2.

Just a hair tonic in general. And if you take too much, and never shave or bathe, you end up l becoming too hairy, and instead of hunting for bigfoot, people hunt you. You have become bigfoot!

I think he said that you even have the option to punch the guy in the face and knock him out if he talks too much. Then he woke up asking what happened or something.

New interview (I think so) with Phil Hooker, director of technology at Rockstar North, about wildlife: https://www.gamesradar.com/red-dead-redemption-2-horse-permadeath/

 

Quote

Some animals move as herds between locations at various times, and some of the herds have a finite number of animals so that as you kill them over time, you can remove that particular herd or simply reduce the numbers when you come back next time.

Quote

Bait isn’t the only way to attract another animal. If you kill a rabbit, the rabbit corpse will attract other animals to it so you can essentially use an animal you’ve killed as bait.

Quote

The challenge this time was making sure the animals react appropriately in different subtle levels to what you do. So if you're creeping towards them and they see you, they won't necessarily run away forever - they may grow curious and cautiously approach, or feel cornered and charge, or they might just go a short distance only to stop allowing you another chance to take a shot. Once you fire your gun though, you’ve given yourself away and the animal will flee.

 

Quote

What's your personal favorite animal?
Probably the Gila monster, it’s rare so it’s exciting every time you see it. Hunting and skinning it feels like a real achievement. I also really like the birds as well, they look and behave very naturally. If you ever come across an owl, that's quite a special moment.

No, I haven't.  I heard it is a great game but I am kinda interesting only in more "realistic " games.
