Is anyone even remotely surprised? Just be honest.

Considering how well GTAV is selling on Steam (I swear to God it has been in the Top10 sellers constantly since it was released).... yes.

 

[usp84]

I have a feeling they'll do the same as GTA V.

Announce PS4/XB1 version and no word of PC. While most people will just wait for the PC version a lot of people, myself included, will get it on PS4 to experience it straight away. Once they've milked it for all it's worth they'll release the PC version. Hell, they might even update the game to take full advantage of the PS4 Pro/Scorpio.

GTA V PS3/360 - 2013
GTA V PS4/XB1 - 2014
GTA V PC - 2015

RDR2 PS4/XB1 - 2017
RDR2 PS4P/Scorpio - 2018
RDR2 PC - 2019

PS4 Pro is a PS4 so they will release it the same day.They wont sell a different version a year later but it will better than the normal PS4

Probably the same for Scoprio

 

[jim2point0]

Their double-dipper trap game is strong.

Guess I'll wait around a year after launch for that announcement.

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

I'm really anxious to see this in motion. Will be nice to have Rockstar focused on a current gen title - I'm psyched to see what they can do,

 

[Rymuth]

Red Dead Redemption 2: White Men Redemption 7

Amirite? (Can't really tell if all of them are white, but it sure looks that way!)

Where da white women at?

No, seriously. I recall Bonnie used in promotional material for RDR. I would've bet anything that at least one of these silhouettes was female. :/

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

In 99% sure the guy right of center is Bill Williamson.



Still, unless this image is misleading I'm really fucking disappointed in Rockstar for not having a female protagonist again.


Hopefully there is a Mary Read situation there where a woman is disguised as a man to be an outlaw.

 

[jelly]

Woo, bring on the trailer.

 

[kraspkibble]

Is there a synopsis posted on the website? I can't access it on my phone.

An epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland, the game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

Yes

Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Welp, there's a good reason to keep hanging on to the dusty ol' PS4.

 

[HiiiLife]

So I don't recognize any of them as John or Jack.

 

[BronsonLee]

Yes. GTAV is constantly in the top 10 best sellers on Steam and has sold at least 6 million copies on PC. So yeah, I'm very surprised PC isn't getting mentioned here. It hurts.

Just remember how it worked for GTA V PC and you'll be fine. You'll get it, just a bit after.

 

[Bandit1]

I needs the trailer partner, I needs it!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Tbh. they should've just released the trailer already...

 

[SCB3]

Scorpio launch title? if so I'm in for both

 

[seady]

I am going to say this again, after this many years:

Red Dead Redemption > Mass Effect 2

 

[Hurricane43]

Wish it wasn't a year away.... So tired of year before announcements... They will go dark after trailer till E3

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Please please please don't be as MP-heavy as GTAV.

What part of the game's SP was compromised by the big MP exactly?

The SP was stronger than ever in terms of size and amount of content.

 

[BY2K]

Poor NX. Not even out and already left behind.

...

OH, sorry, was I supposed to be surprised?

 

[Podge293]

Why are people complaining about the seemingly lack of a playable female character??? They don't need to be put into everything.

 

[SpaceWolf]

An epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland, the game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

Yes

Awesome. Thanks, lads!

 

[Baleoce]

Red Dead: First Redemption Part II

 

[Gnilres]

Beta version on PS4/X1 and Final version on PC, nice ^^

2 year beta?

Exciting news for sure, I don't get why people are hating the white male cast here, nothing suggested it would be different.

 

[iALX]

lol

Bad time for me to be PC only...

 

[Joey Ravn]

Is anyone even remotely surprised? Just be honest.

It's not like GTAV did badly on PC. More than 5.5 million purchases just on Steam, with no really deep discounts, just for the base game. I can't imagine how much the game is moving in DLC and microtransactions.

But it seems the PC market is still not good enough for Rockstar. I'll gladly use my money on something else, then.

Bad time for me to be PC only...

Holy crap, dude. Are you seriously suggesting that?

 

[Simo]

Fuck yes! I wish the release was sooner but fall will work. Seems like the perfect game to play as the weather gets colder. Lol

I take it I can't claim the OT until we get a actual date right?

 

[GamerJM]

I don't get why they would pretend that Revolver doesn't exist when they don't ignore the existence of GTA 1 and 2.

 

[brokenbeans]

Why is everyone so shocked it's called Red Dead Redemption 2? Is anyone expecting the next instalment of GTA to not be called GTA6?

 

[JimmyRustler]

Yes

Well, there it is. Epic SP is in. Hope we can bury the online only shit now.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Hope we get a PC port and that it's released before the end of the decade.

Either way I am excited for the trailer! I will probably be weak and buy on the PS4 first. Then hopefully double dip later.

 

[GlamFM]

Is there a synopsis posted on the website? I can't access it on my phone.

Updating the OP RIGHT NOW.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Good shit but it is kind of odd to have 7 characters shown and zero women...

 

[The Lamp]

Why even bother saying fall 2017. We know it will delay to spring 2018.

BUT I AM SO EXCITED!!!

 

[wesleyshark]

Can't fucking wait. Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy

 

[Ultimadrago]

Not really. Still disappointed though.

Quite. Speaking hypothetically, could this not be a "GTAV" in terms of time for a proper PC port?

 

[fwpx]

I just want to know if it'll feature the benz© saving the day.

WE NEED THE BENZ

 

[whiteninja]

Was hoping for female and/or black characters unless you can create your own gunslinger or something for the sp.

 

[Piccoro]

I really hope it's really a prequel. RDR1 was too 20th century-ish. I really need me some gritty 19th century tech Wild West.

 

[ekim]

So what can we get from the picture? Is this supposed to be John Marston? I can't the remember the story and chars of RDR1 at all
Is this a sequel or prequel from the looks of the chars?

 

[LiK]

The twist at the end is RDR2 is actually just GTAVI protag playing a Western in VR.

 

[Kuldar]

Disapointing name but a logical choice. Sorry for PC only folks

 

[The Lone Courier]

Redemption 2. I guess it didn't work the first time.

 

[Diabelli]

If the title implies it's a direct continuation to another story instead of something unique and unattached to existing lore, of course that can change one's Keven of excitement.

The title doesn't really imply anything about the game any more than GTAV does to GTAIV. Of course they're going to use the same name; it makes sense from a marketing perspective. T

 

[wenaldy]

And now we wait.

Wooooohoooooooaaaaaaa...

 

[Skyr]

I'm one of those fuckboys who triple dipped on GTAV, so count me in this sad corner too.

I'm raising you by one.

Quad dipped for:
xbox 360
xbox one
ps4
PC

Yep I'm a Rockstar slave..

 

[Raide]

Scorpio version is going to look amazing. Perfect timing.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Cgi trailer..or gameplay trailer

 

[banefirelord]

i thought i'd be more excited

Yeah, me too. :-/ Hoping the trailer gets me hyped but I'm feeling weirdly ambivalent about something that based on how much I loved RDR1 I should be jumping out of my skin about.

 

[Portugeezer]

Can't wait for the trailer, RDR gameplay trailers sold me on the game.
