I see, that's really unfortunate. Guess I should just bite the bullet already and play the last gen version.

So much bait in this thread.

tl;dr
At this point can we be sure who really started it? Perhaps R* was just copying somebody else as well...
Alright Christopher Plasse don't be so bold and edgy
Bwahahahahahaha, pretty much sum sup my reaction to that post.

I wonder if this means a potential PSX reveal?

Nice so we have Final Fantasy and Dead Rising so far. We need more games to do these. It's really cool because it's basically showing respect and acknowledging what a force R* is
This is just about the worst criticism of a story anyone can make. High school lit class nonsense. If you have to like a character to care about a story you've jettisoned a tremendous number of excellent stories for a completely arbitrary reason.
And that's leaving aside the absurd notion that RDR has no likable characters. If you were just talking about the overlong middle act of the game, I'd kind of be on board but sorry dude, you're off in Crazytown, Population: 1 on this one.

Undead Nightmare 2.
That doesn't match...like at all.

Who could forget the infamous Donkey Lady? What about the bird people?
Haha, never seen that before.

GTA4 absolutely had multiplayer. RDR's multiplayer was iterating on it. V hit it big because it was far more fleshed out, structured and customizable than everything that came before. I imagine the delayed launch and heavier marketing was also a factor, seeing as many people (such as yourself) didn't even know 4 had multi.
Population: 2 actually.
RDR had loads of unlikeable characters in it. And while that might for other mediums' storytelling, it didn't work for a game where you're doing jobs for them.
These are the days that we live for now. Forget new Star Wars movies and nostalgia abusing Kickstarters. The birth of a new meme is all that matters now.
It's a new meme. Every new game gets a NX pprt.
Red Dead Rising?
Just waiting for Naughty Dog to post a .gif of Nathan Drake looking at the painting of this...
Rather than the stolen Assassin's Creed art...

imo the debut trailer will drop way earlier than PSX, but a gameplay world premiere it's not out of question, maybe even running on Pro
I never get this criticism either.
I guess it's different for some when it comes to games versus movies/books/etc., but I can't think of a single instance even in games where I've ever been bothered by "unlikable characters".
And besides that, Redemption wasn't devoid of likable characters imo.

My contribution to the whole RDR meme thing. Life just isn't fair.
Given how much Red Dead Redemption alluded to the Marston's past and the (possibly) leaked map from months back, I think the prequel theory is 90% spot on.
I'm not good at Photoshop. :|

It's incredible that other developers are hyping Rockstar's game for them.
GTA4 had multiplayer, and it was the entire reason I owned the game. I barely got 1/8th of the way through the story before I quit, because I was 100x more interested in the multiplayer stuff.

more art, probably of a character in the game
If they want to keep the old west aesthetic, they really can't go forward in time since RDR ends in 1914, which is generally regarded as about the time that the concept of "The American Frontier" ended. So the idea of the next game taking place before RDR is practically a given.

I assume this will culminate in a trailer at the end of the week, and I couldn't be more excited! This and Persona 5 are the games I'm most excited to play, period.
It is going to be a long while before we're playing this though. If the GTAV cycle is anything to go off of, we might consider ourselves lucky to be playing this Spring 2018. Don't see it in my hands until Fall of that year, but it would be nice to play it sooner.
I'm hoping Fallout 4 has inspired publishers to look into shorter marketing cycles for big games, but it'll be a small miracle if we're playing this next year.

Have to agree that the game was boring and has hiliarious levels of hype. The world was great and the multiplayer could be fun, but the meat of the game was boring and dull.

If a game expects you to care about your family enough to reunite with/save them (the entire point of the story), yea they should be likable, which they weren't, and neither was Marston.
Likability matters a lot in certain contexts. It's one of the reason's God of War 3's ending makes zero sense given how shitty his character is throughout the entire game.
It's pretty rare for people to care about a story when all of the characters are either really bad people morally, or really uninteresting ones. House of Cards is the only example I can think of right now where people find enjoyment in the widespread pessimism/hopelessness rather than the optimism.
You're right though forcing me to do like 4 hours of rounding sheep so that I "form a bond" with my dumb annoying son and pressing x for 15min to travel to empty X town in order to shoot no-name Y guys is awesome. The sappy ending does nothing to retroactively fix all of the weak shit that came before it.
Like I said, all of the stuff people supposedly hate GTA4 for, they completely ignore or tolerate in RDR for reasons I don't understand. (I didn't dislike GTA4 either btw, but in RDR those problems shine like the sun).

Yeah especially if they're going for the same tone from the 1st game.
Crazy talk.

I think people tolerate it because of the setting, which is at least somewhat unique, interesting and not overused.
The problem is they will not quite have the same advantage this time, so they'll need to make a better game. Not that it will not sell zillions, but I think people will be less forgiving if the "ride for 10 minutes, shoot bad guys with auto aim, ride back" loop is all you do 400 times.
Luckily there is so much scope still left for them and they are not exactly short of cash.
Wat?
I loved Marston. He felt more real to me than most game's characters do. I too would have killed and carried the same attitude John did if it meant trying to keep my wife and son safe.

Where's the NeoGAF logo edit? I bet it's already in this thread.
There's the OT header, whoever's gonna make it in 4 years make sure you save it.
