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. :/

Nirolak was telling me yesterday that the second silhouette from the left could be a woman because there was only one gun and it was the smallest. I told him it's probably a dude because a woman would have to use both hands to carry something as heavy as a gun!!!!!

Sadly I am right.

 

[karma2578]

Looking at release date, will buy on Scorpio

 

[SpaceWolf]

Updating the OP RIGHT NOW.

(Tips cowboy hat)

 

[Rebel Leader]

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.

I don't think they are ignoring revolver but rather have another redemption story

 

[darthkarki]

Dammit. Now I've gotta get a PS4 Pro AND upgrade my computer for when it eventually releases there.

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!)

I love this. "I have no idea what I'm talking about as no information has been released but doggone-it I'm gonna complain anyway!"

 

[Icyflamez96]

Yeah they just lost a customer because of that....

...said nobody ever.

Well, nobody except you?

 

[packy34]

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

That doesn't make me feel any better

 

[mocoworm]

Wow. Microsoft seriously lucked out with this one. Monster AAA title coming out right in time for their new system.

I don't think it is luck. There will be a huge tie-in to the new console.

 

[jett]

WE NEED THE BENZ

There's no benz.

Darkness confirmed.

 

[Simo]

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.

Because the majority of the user base isn't aware Revolver was the first game and Redemption was a monster hit. Not surprising on the name really and kudos to GlamFM to sticking with hit for his guess. Lol

 

[Staf]

Wrong. Women still made up 50%~ of the population.

7 Female Outlaws You Never Heard About In History Class, But Who Seriously Lived It Up In The Wild West

But again, it's Rockstar. Considering they show disdain and apathy towards the real humans that make their games it's unsurprising to me that they don't give a shit about their power for change as an industry leader.

What the...

 

[letmetrythisname]

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

Watch out. I said something along the lines of this and was called an alt-right fascist.

Note that I have no issue with a female Red Dead protagonist. I think a diverse cast would be really, really cool. I just would rather see that cast presented in a frame narrative rather than the character swapping of V. Unfortunately, that won't happen as it would make the game way more linear.

 

[The perfect Dark]

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

If we're lucky.

Wasn't there a three year gap between the GTA V announcement trailer and the release?

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Is anyone even remotely surprised? Just be honest.

No, I'm fucking pissed. There's zero reason this should be console only, not in this day and age.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I play pretty much everything on PC now, but I was keeping my PS4 purely for Persona 5. It's good to have at least one more game to anticipate on my PS4.

 

[Heckler456]

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

Because it'd be fun to see Rockstar trying it for once?

 

[HiiiLife]

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

We still don't know who the playable characters are. For all you know these could just be your bosses and the main protagonist is gonna be revealed Thursday.

 

[Luigi87]

Very nice. Looking forward to the trailer.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

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

You know damn well why.
Its 2016 (or 2017 when this comes out). Women are more than half of the population and make up more than 40% of gamers. There are numerous historical women outlaws and gunfighters.

Zero excuse at all.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Nice, just in time for the Scorpion!

Spoiler

lol delays

 

[kraspkibble]

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

i know that and i didn't say they would sell another version. i said they will release the game on PS4, which will also run on a PS4 Pro, but they don't need to use the full power of the PS4 Pro. the game would look exactly the same on both consoles. at a later date they would update the game free of charge so that the game will have improved performance/graphics thanks to the additional power the PS4 pro offers.

so ps4/xb1 in 2017. updates to both consoles + pc version with better visuals/performance.

 

[ironcreed]

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

I was planning on waiting until 2018 to get Scorpio, but this might make me hop on in a little earlier.

 

[Theorry]

RDR2 sunsets. Better be HDR support.

 

[wesleyshark]

Scorpio version is going to look amazing. Perfect timing.

Yep. I'm so ready for this on Scorpio

 

[valkyre]

Good stuff. Never quite like GTA series, they have really milked the shit out of that style, and Red Dead was phenomenal.

Cant wait!

 

[RE4PRR]

Developers really need to follow Bethesda's Fallout 4 Announcement with it being 4-5 months after announcement.

OFC no PC version.

Hopefully it lives up to RDR as imo it's still their best game ever made.

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

Excited for this one. I'd love a Redemption remaster in the mean time.

 

[viHuGi]

OMG i just cannot wait!

 

[The Artisan]

Argh!!! Red Dead Redemption 2!!!!!!!!

Fall 2017 though, fuck I'll be turning 27 by then...I don't wanna be fuckin turning 27.

The first thing I noticed though: It's Red Dead Redemption 2, instead of Red Dead R_. So this is a direct sequel then that's canon to the second game?

 

[The Flash]

But I just got a 1070, R*

Either way I'm still excited. I triple dipped on GTAV, I'll double dip on this.

 

[astroturfing]

All-male cast with 6 out of 7 being white dudes :/

what the fuck Rockstar

holy shit what?

it's the wild west in the late 1800s, nothing surprising or unrealistic with a bunch of white macho bandits sticking together, right? or am i crazy?

i genuinely don't get how people react with disappointment to white male videogame characters like it's a crime or something.

besides, that prooobably isn't the whole cast.. there are surely memorable human characters of other skin colors etc.

 

[Dreathlock]

Again no PC version at launch. Disgusting practice.

 

[Cornbread78]

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?

Technically, it's within a year and a timeframe has been announced, so it can be claimed.

 

[cluderi]

Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaww!!

Come on prequel, it's the logical choice (here's hoping we get a staged PC release like GTAV, I'll buy them all) !!!

 

[BronsonLee]

You know, now that I think about it, has there ever been an open world game with a playable female character? I'm blanking on it

 

[Nipo]

Has there been any Rampant speculation whether Scropio multi-plats will look better than PS4 Pro? The power difference is significant enough to make me think there will be. With this not coming out on PC day one I'll need to get one of the two.

 

[Trago]

Lack of a PC version means that Scorpio will be the version to lookout for.

Funny how that works.

 

[Sloane]

So, still no female lead, huh? smh Rockstar

 

[jett]

i know that and i didn't say they would sell another version. i said they will release the game on PS4, which will also run on a PS4 Pro, but they don't need to use the full power of the PS4 Pro. the game would look exactly the same on both consoles. at a later date they would update the game free of charge so that the game will have improved performance/graphics thanks to the additional power the PS4 pro offers.

So much nonsense in this post.

 

[kraspkibble]

If we're lucky.

Wasn't there a three year gap between the GTA V announcement trailer and the release?

just under 2 years. 25th october 2011 to 17th september 2013. pc version came out 14th april 2015.

So much nonsense in this post.

thanks

 

[B00TE]

Awesome news to wake up to. HYPE!

 

[GlamFM]

Cgi trailer..or gameplay trailer

R*, so gameplay.

 

[Lime]

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

Lol "everything". They sure seem to need to make sure that six out of seven characters are white dudes.

Can't wait to relate to a mission giver or a NPC once more!!

 

[shinjimimura]

I'm just tired of fucking white male characters everywhere in video games, it's so uncreative and uninspiring. It's like 90% of the rest of the world population doesn't exist in video games.

And now you have 7 characters and all of them are guys

Oh for god's sake just choose your games accordingly if race and gender is such an issue to you. You have a black protagonist for Mafia 3, asian dudes for Sleeping Dogs and Yakuza, a teenage white girl for Life is Strange, an half black half white woman in Remember Me... all of which (bar Mafia which I haven't played yet) I have enjoyed A LOT, despite being a white male. Why is that such an issue I'll NEVER understand

 

[NotLiquid]

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

I just don't think the cast looks interesting. At a glance it's all grizzly bearded white dudes. A female character isn't the only thing they can add to liven it up but it'd definitely be a positive.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Are we still agreeing it's a prequel?

Because that dude sure looks like Bill Williamson to me

 

[Pearson]

Finally! so hyped!

 

[Afro]

Again no PC version at launch. Disgusting practice.

Really gross.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Awesome.

Red Dead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GTA

 

[truly101]

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

Red Dead Redemption > Mass Effect 2

Is that supposed to be an edgy or controversial opinion? I love both games but I'd consider RDR to be the better of the 2 and that seems to be the general sentiment. RDR has also aged better as well.
