YES!

Next fall will be ridiculous. Two of the biggest game releases in years (RDR2 and Destiny 2) may very well be released within just weeks of each other.
 
The standards for disappointment have gotten so ridiculous you can't help but laugh.

"Why is the name boring and not what I predicted??!"

"Why aren't there minorities?!?"

I didn't the read the "also" in the OP and thought it was multiplayer only for a second. Crisis averted.

Name sucks ass tho.

Yup, it's GTAV all over again for me. Get excited, wait 1.5 years for a PC version, when it finally comes out I don't even give a crap anymore and skip it. But I guess all those double dippers make up for my one measly sale, so more power to you R*.

The way they word it:

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.

kinda gives me some Destiny like vibes on how it'll function. Granted its waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too early to make any assumptions but I just had this gut reaction to that small description. I think that could be fun, as long as it's more functional than Destiny (and GTA5 for that matter) was. An always online world where you can tackle the story with either the AI, alone or with friends (or strangers too) could make for a very fun game.

Again though, waayyyy too early to assume anything other than the fact that the art used for the teasers is amazing.
 
Rockstar like to tell masculine stories. We know this. Why is that an issue?

At the end of the day they can and should make the game they want to make.

Their "masculine" stories are awful and reuse the same satire that was last fresh or edgy in the 1990's. God forbid their fans encourage them to try something different in the hopes of some improvement.
 
Legit excited. Buy why retcon Revolver? That was a great game.

What are you not understanding about the title? It's a sequel to redemption, red dead redemption 2. That doesn't imply it's the second game of the entire red dead franchise at all.

Does the name GTA 4 imply that vice city and San Andreas don't exist?

the wait sucks but the PC version wasn't a shit port. it runs really well on PC.

I'm amazed if delaying PC port until all other possible versions of the GTAV were done wasn't intentional tactic from marketing and sales point of view. Last-gen original, current-gen remaster and PC remaster of remaster. Get them X amount dippers and PC crowd at the end. It made them insane bank so them trying to repeat it here, assuming PC port will ever come, didn't come as surprise.

First thing I noticed is no female characters. Disappointing.

Then I noticed no PC. Disappointing.

Then I noticed the multiplayer focus. Disappointing.

Of course, it's still Red Dead, so I'm sure it'll be fun, but man, not a good announcement.


"Miltiplayer focus" lol where exactly did you see that?

PC version will come a year later. They will do that so everyone purchases it twice, guaranteed.

Rockstar are the only devs I give this pass too, and I give it happily.

I will, however, be buying it for Pro or Scorpio pending whichever has the 60fps version and some bells and whistles - then play it in 4K/60fps (my rig hardware will be super good by then no doubt) after the ~1-2 year wait for the PC version :)
 
Guys it's going to have online, that's fine just make it better than the god *loading* awful *loading* GTA *loading* imple *loading* mentation.

They need to make them the villains this time around if Marston is back in this and apart of Dutch's Gang

New pro tag or something but don't try this whole morally grey Marston when he's supposed to be at his worse here

Basically...new protagonists pls
 
This racial/feminist thing needs to get out of this thread honestly. I don't why you care, it's just a videogame.. enjoy it for what it is.

honestly if they had a female in there. it would ruin it for me, it wouldn't be realistic at all, just a very unlikely scenario.

Considering how CPU-dependent open world games are it's a pretty sure bet that neither the Pro or the Scorpio will run this above 30fps, even less so considering the mantra for both of these things is 4K gaming.
