hm. interesting. charles tho could have possibly had it in the beginning of the game considering that his hair was also seen like that int he announcement artwork. cause if his hair is like that for a couple of missions out of the rest of the story. would they really present him like that in an annoucement artwork. makes ya wonder

[GTAFanClub]

I was disappointed to see/hear a different version of "Where's owa Moneh" in the final version.

The same can be said about this screenshot here of Bill Williamson without his beard:



Sometimes it really does make you wonder what could have been

CUT STORY
Also Dan Houser mentioned he cut 5 hours worth of Story in this Article from Vulture 
http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/the-making-of-rockstar-games-red-dead-redemption-2.html

Full Quote:

Quote

...five hours of the 65-hour game are dumped. At one point, protagonist Arthur Morgan had two love interests, but “we decided one of them didn’t work,” says Dan. And whole missions were removed because “they were never going to work technically or be quite slick enough, or they felt superfluous. We removed a mission on a train where you had to deal with bounty hunters, because it was fun at first, but then it wasn’t. This part of the process is always about compromise and horse trading. Everyone always loses bits of the game they love.”

just making a prediction that

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

now in the mission where u have to collect cards from famous gun slingers i am pretty sure that before the voice of landen rickets died that u were able to run into him. and of course u wouldn't kill him and duel with him. but it would be interesting what would of happened. because this also could of been a set up of when u meet him asking for a quote people come to attack (just like with the one outlaw woman) and then he tells arthur that hes off to get away from it all which would then also fill in the gap of why he went to mexico in the first place

Dutch's handy pistols had a color scheme change (2017 Screenshot) 

 

Third Trailer                                                                                           

 

 

 

 

also the 2nd sight (barrel sight) on the Schofield Revovler was more in the shape of a triangle. it is more round and smooth in the final version

besides the obvious graphical downgrade and trying to find locations for trailer 1. one thing about trailer 1 is that the fort worth general store had more items (same can pretty much be said for the rest of the world to as well) (dummed down for framerate issues)

 

 

 

 

and also dutch originally didn't wear a hat in one mission (as far as we know of) that im not gonna spoil.

  for all we know he could've not worn a hat after chapter 6 and so on

 

 

 

 

 

 

trains originally had way more smoke coming out of them (obviously dummed down for framerate issues)

I dont usually like reading these but this game is good enough that i dont care what they removed

 

gtav was hell

 

 

also from the top of my mind they changed the guy sadie stabs in the hand from the bearded odriscoll looking guy in the second trailer to a ginger irish looking guy if i recall

The mission from trailer 3 with the guy was in blackwater and in game near the lake

-Mount hagen looks very different and unfinished in the first trailer

-There are a lot more snowy mountains, and most mountains are covered in snow, including mt. Shann and the mountains near Cochinay.

-The plains in the Heartlands were different. They looked like Great Plains. Can also be seen in the first trailer and an early screenshot.

-Twin Peaks are also slightly different looking.

I think this is to make the trailers less spoilerisque. Rockstar have changed the backgrounds multiple times in the trailers and the game. They did this with gta v too.

Is this permanent or terrain colour changes because of seasons? I'm in Chapter 2 and The Heartlands territory looks greener than it did in trailer 1 and also greener than RDR1 Great Plains.

There is no season change, so yeah it’s permanent.

[Nulla Lex Ink.]

During the first gameplay video put out by R* we can see Arthur leading Sadie, Bill, Sean and Javier through a town, but no mission like that is in the game. Also not sure if it's beta or not, but the trailer ends with several gang members running across the plains, followed by a few others while "Wanted" is in the corner. All in all it looked like eleven people were riding together. I don't remember a mission like this being in the game, unless it was "My Last Boy."

Spoiler

Again, this could also be done on purpose in order to hide the fact that the gang never reaches Great Plains through the story.

 

About this cut 5 hours of missions that Rockstar mentioned that was about the love triangle that was cut, I think it was between Sadie Adler, Arthur and Mary.

[wagszilla]

The Reddit leak got pretty much everything right.

 

So taking that as gospel, they mentioned:

1. The ability to select your squad loadout like Mass Effect and
2. Collecting your gang along the way

Since they got everything else right, I'm guessing these were cut due to AI limitations and time constraints.

 

I think them revealing the camp stuff last would suggest this was all a work in progress down to the wire.

I think by "collecting you gang on the way" he was trying to say that you meet and add more members to the gang throughout the story (Meeting John for the first time , Kieran added to the gang, rescuing Sean).

That doesn't make sense.

 

Arthur already knew John, as did everyone else.

 

Kieran, sure. And Sean was already in the gang.

 

We already knew that John was in Dutch's gang for several years and Abigail was in/around the gang. By extension, so would Jack.

 

It's the most confusing thing in the whole leak.

 

Acquire suggests either adding them to the gang outright, true new members, or picking them up because they were scattered across the map/world. 

 

I don't really care. 

 

But between that and the potential pinkerton spy kicking off the story, it suggests things were shuffled around.

 

 

Back on topic:

 

The leaked document which resulted in a million dollar lawsuit mentioned the following:

1. Gold-mining
2. Slums market for weapons
3. Undertakers
4. Handcarts/Minecarts (in game but only available in a mission, I believe)
5. Armored carriages
6. Mobile Poker mini-game in companion app

In regards to #1, there's a prospector NPC so this is another strand of evidence that this is true.

Looking at:

There are leftovers from the character wheel of GTA V.

#1 So many changes were made in Little Creek River. I didn't find the same stone from the trailer, but i believe camera was set somewhere here.

2016:


2018 (PS4 Fat):


#2 Artistic changes from a mission with "You got some money for me BOAH?":

2017, Trailer #2, Scene 1:


2018:


2017, Scene 2:


2018:

Want to point it out that camera positions in this cutscene absolutly different in final version. Probably made only for a trailer, but not sure.

[Original Light]

In the train robbery mission in the prologue, Dutch uses a different audio take when saying "Listen to me! We don't want to kill any of you. But trust me, we will!" compared to Trailer 3 (May, 2018).

 

He's also wearing a bandanna in the final version, whereas in the trailer he's not.

The most interesting thing is the map that was leaked a few years ago.

Nice compilation.

 

Do you happen to remember the name of that bounty mission btw? 

 

And as far as the changed camera compositions for quotes in the trailers, they changed them arbitrarily. They're mostly bad in comparison. I have no idea why. It doesn't make sense.

[DirtCheap]

• The hunt for the bear with Hosea was originally at nighttime
• The health, stamina, dead-eye, horse health and stamina meters were not displayed originally
• Lenny wore a hat during the drunk mission
• The random event with the guy with his leg in the bear trap was originally found near a riverbank
• Karen didn't wear a coat in the mission where you go to Valentine with Uncle and the girls
• Wolves would sneak more rather than loudly attack you (in the game, they howl before attacking to notify you of their presence)

It's the side mission from Strauss at the very beginning of Chapter 3. Probably called same as his mission in Chapter 2.
