Multiplat Red Dead Redemption 2 - Pre-launch thread

[Xtreme]

Rockstar has put out some pretty good stories too. San Andreas story was a cracker and IV's story I thought was pretty good, even if the game wasn't as good as hyped. GTA V probably had the worst story of the lot, purely because things got too gimmicky with the three character thing, and they clearly had begun to focus more on online.

I found San Andreas was too predictable - could figure out the plot twists before they were going to happen.

I did enjoy IV, but it doesn't really stand up on multiple playthroughs (do enjoy being asked to go bowling though! lol).

Didn't mind V, if they had to focus on just the one character, even if it would have gotten stale by the end... would have loved to have played as Trevor for a full game .

LA Noir's core story was good!

Ok I made my original point look bad, but I just felt for the most part they've lacked a certain punch.

I can't explain why I got sick of RDR's campaign so early on, I just felt it dragged.... and the control mechanics just didn't gel with me. However as I said I could play the multiplayer component without fuss or complaint.

Eh, nothing to get excited over.

The terrain looks identical, does it take place in the same location?

Eh, nothing to get excited over.

The shots of those stars beg to differ.

Thought that the opening trailer for GTAV was better, this is classic Rockstar though, we learn bugger all about the game early on and it creates an even stronger thirst for info.

The lighting looked brilliant

Jesus...

I'm already marking the days down and I don't know when it's coming out.

The graphics look insane, but tge trailer didnt gove away much.

Having said that i remember the trailer for RDR coming out the same time as Call of Juarez 2 and RDR looked uninspiring compared to the two

Will this end up having first person view like GTA had?

Was a nice touch I thought

Typical teaser, doesn't give much away but shows off a beautiful map.

The GTA V trailer though got to show snippets of the characters as Rockstar had been dropping stills of the environment for months before going to the trailer....

This one is basically all the stills they would've shown us, in video form. Next trailer will be all about the characters and the one that makes you sit up and go... oooohhhhh

Reckon this will be one of scorpios first game?

 

[bourbons]

Yeah nice graphics I suppose, didn't really blow me away.

One minute of video will provide months worth a of YouTube breakdowns and analysis.

IGN already have a five minute long analysis up.

Graphics look amazing!

The orginal took me away from driving and sports related gaming. It was the first game that showed me true immersion. The way it played out story wise was also amazing. The West is a harsh place and you learn the meaning of that. I loved that game.

That being said I honestly have not been more excited about a game release in god knows how long. I cannot wait for this.

The Witcher has been my fave new console related game however I'm truly hoping this eclipses it.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

In before the inevitable Rockstar delay. They love teasing us like that.

Probably early-mid 2018 release.
