Multiplat Red Dead Redemption 2 - Pre-launch thread

[Ry009]

Like that small touch of 7 riders going into that distance at the end, not sure how deliberate that was.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

**** yes. I've already booked leave

Am thinking its Marsden's old gang, including the woman who eventually became his wife.

Music and Graphics were both very impressive.

Last game I played was GTA4 on the 360. This is what it's taken to reignite my interest. Only just found out about the VR stuff today too. Looks like I'll be getting a PS4, VR headset and this game.

Not sure how to tell the wife..

Just make sure she gets a controller too!

Jewellery may help...

 

[squashface]

I wonder if they will bring back Undead Nightmare

lol mate Im just about on the same boat as you. Haven't played much games the last few years but this VR thing and seeing some of the new games coming about has made me pre order a PS4 and VR headset couple of days ago.

Dusted off the 360 and started a new game of Red Dead yesterday.

Have a few mates who have never played the game and couldn't be more jealous of them getting to experience it all now.

 

[TheKanga]

Started up a replay of the original today on Xbox One via backwards compatibility.
The game has aged really well and in fact i think it runs and looks a little better on XB1.

 

[Beerfish]

Was thinking this too. I actually never finished the main story first time around. Can't remember why as I did just about everything else. Either game glitch or Undead Nightmare sidetracked me and I never went back.

Time to right this wrong. This time there'll be no stopping every 30 seconds to collect some stupid plant or skin an animal.

Would be great if you are able to recruit and create your own gang with each of them having certain abilities to do heist missions ie one guy is the explosive expert another person is good with guns etc,etc.

Would be good. Hope the 7 figures/riders isn't indicative of co-op in the main campaign.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

You don't want co op campaign?

Bring on the co op!

 

[bourbons]

Nah, I'm a grumpy old man. None of my mates are that into gaming any more, not really interested in playing through a campaign with randoms.

Have a separate multiplayer sure, but single player campaign all the way. Save your co-op campaigns for your Borderlands and your Divisions!

 

[Father Jack]

Well, considering the way GTA single player was abandoned pretty much out of the gate, I don't like your chances

 

[PP34]

No chance they don't do single player. It's still far too good to just focus on a co-op mode, or just online in general.

Really interested to see what they can do with online this time around. Online was pretty decent last time, but definitely had potential to be a lot better.

Nah I'd actually argue serious online integration in the main campaign is fairly unlikely. I know its all the rage now with Destiny and The Division but Rockstar are known and revered for their single player worlds, would be a fair pivot for them to change that up - especially as this has likely been in development since before GTA5 came out.

 

[The Big Sauce]

It will be like GTA 5 with a single player story and a dedicated online multiplayer microtransaction paradise.

Rockstar know that there will be markets that would only buy Red Dead for one of these modes so they'll put both in to satisfy both audiences.

 

[pantskyle]

They'll probably do what they did with GTAV, not release the online for a few weeks after release.

 

[PP34]

I think that was done purely because GTA Online was far from being a nice finished product when the game hit. Even when it came out it was a bit of a mess, and really wasn't the complete thing till early last year.

They know how to build that sort of online game now so they may be ready for online from day one.

 

[Quivorir]

Its still far from being a shiny finished product. Buggy as shit.
