I'd say that situations are pretty different, GTA V came right at the tail end of a console generation and RDR2 i-
wait
Only because they keep getting away with it.

afaik no one here is breaking into the office and holding them at gunpoint until a female character is added. Criticism doesn't mean we aren't letting them make it how they want.

Not everyone who's asking for a female main characters "hates" the game. I'll probably love the game. Heck, I can't wait for the game. Just sad that there seemingly, with the information we have right now, won't be a female main character. Again though, time will tell, we barely know anything yet.

There are no two different games for PS4 and Pro, same goes for Xbox One and Scorpio. Both will have the best versions with the same disk you're buying.
PS4 Pro and Scorpio are not new "generation" consoles.

And let people rightfully criticize them for it.
On the far left? That's unmistakably John.

i'm tired of early announcements. why can't every studio just do what Bethesda did with Fallout 4? waiting to fall 2017 is crazy.
I don't know about "widely considered THE best". One of, perhaps. Regardless, that doesn't mean that the Red Dead series shouldn't settle for more. It could be a totally different story, but instead it looks like it's just settling for it's comfort zone.
If Red Dead Redemption could make millions without any brand recognition other than it's developers I highly doubt that the success of this title is contingent on the word "Redemption" being in it.
His example did work.
Red Dead Redemption is a brand now - it's clear they wanted to keep the name going forward.
Red Dead Revolver was a completely different style of game.

To trap the double dippers again
Hell, I bet some people triple dipped last time on GTA5.
To clarify I meant critical success, in the sense that I think R* will probably just try to do RDR all over again and fans won't perhaps be as delighted by it once more. Sales-wise it will, as you and someone before you also remarked, do well.

Cause it didn't sell a fuckload
Not sure why I had hopes that R* went away with their bs marketing and sales in hopes that people double dip, which unfortunate they do.
At least there's other games on the horizon to look forward to while we wait for two years at which point I might as well wait another year for a sale.

Very hyped for the game. Very disappointed in how they are doing this reveal.
They go years with basically complete radio silence on this game, why change that now?
They should have just announced the game shown the trailer and let people go nuts over it. It makes me wonder why they wouldn't have just talked about the game before?

RDR is one of, if not my favorite game of all time. It's strange to feel ambivalent about this so far. I hope the trailer will do something for me. I really don't look forward to going back to Marston and Dutch's Gang for this. Maybe I'll be surprised though, and they're the villains and not the protagonists. Yet some of their fates are set in stone.
I understand the skepticism based on R*'s previous releases, but maybe we should wait to find out more about the game before criticizing its lack of inclusion and diversity. For all we know, the 7 guys on the teaser image could be the gang that shot up your home town and killed your family or something like that.We don't have much to go on here.

I don't think Rockstar makes this announcement without 100% complete confidence they can hit it. There is no external pressure for this announcement to happen right now, other than they are 100% able to hit that date.
I presume most of the next 12 months are spent polishing. Rockstar knows how insanely high of a mark they are going to be compared to with this sequel.

I was so sure they wouldn't go with a numbered entry. Especially when this is the third Red Dead.
Also: all male cast? Possibly all white? What did women did to you, Rockstar? Jesus.

It's a discussion thread, we're having a discussion.
Nioh, Days Gone, Nier, Resident Evil 7, Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Scalebound as well. I could go on, lol. 2017 is shaping up to be nuts.

That's total bullshit and such a typical response.
A person's gender is irrespective to a well written narrative and Rockstar has some of the best writers in the gaming industry. Gender can provide context, but it isn't dependent on a story. Nothing need change in Redemption if you played as Abigail instead of John.
