Well, I suppose one of the main points of this was to provide some details on this player character. Based on what's presented, he's an unlikable dirtbag. Seems kind of one note and boring what with the cliche "wheres me monay?!" outbursts and whatnot. The "wear black" line is good though.

I could see this guy working better in the context of an ensemble. I hope and believe that's what's happening.
Or I hope that there's more to him than what they decided to focus on for this trailer.

It's overall not that great of a trailer because there's no drive or focus to it really. Kind of bland. I mean, it establishes the general tone, but we already knew this would be a sequel to Red Dead.

 

[dreamfall]

I hope we get some awesome artworks just like we did for RDR1.

Those art works are the best. Desktop wallpaper for almost eight years now. Rockstar does such a good job of releasing concept art before the game's arrival to really drive hype!

This game. The wait shall be excruciating!

 

[Inviusx]

Looks good.

Protagonists don’t have to be likeable or good to be compelling or interesting. Have an unlikeable outlaw as a protagonist would be a welcome change

Reminds me of GTA4 on PS3 where it had that Vaseline look

Yep and with GTAV the art style got even better.

Can't wait to see some RDR2 art.

 

[Boss X]

Right around the corner

The image quality looked fine to me.

Horizon

smh. I said 3rd party.

Horizon 0, Uncharted, FF15, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Origins. (some aren't third party, but it shouldn't matter).
The graphic on this game is maybe even or maybe even less impressive than MGSV's graphics.

I am not saying this game is ugly, but it def looks like an entry level PS4 graphic.

Come on now! None of those 3rd party games even come close to RDR2! Look at how horses muscles contract! You think MGSV's flat low poly models are better than this? I'm out!

 

[Kinyou]

I havent played Witcher 3 but when look at this Image it looks actual city.

Horizon in other hand.

Are you talking about the architecture or the people? Because I didn't have a problem with the former but the latter definitely felt too static and not properly simulated. I imagine that's something RDR2 is going to excel at again.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Some of the games he mentioned? Sure. MGSV? Fuck no. Never understood the whole hype about the graphics in that game anyway.

As a reminder this is a cross-gen title.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

As a reminder this is a cross-gen title.

Was that supposed to prove that MGSV has better graphics?

 

[Kinyou]

As a reminder this is a cross-gen title.

MGSV's big strength is that it's running with 60fps, aside from that it looks nice but nothing too special.

 

[AtlAntA]

Is there a trailer breakdown/analysis video yet? I enjoyed the gtav ones.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Was that supposed to prove that MGSV has better graphics?

it proves that MGSV has incredible character models and runs at rock solid 60FPS.


Anyway...

I hope it's only one playable character. Don't like the multiple shizz

Could be nice to have a proper bad guy as a main character for once.

It does but RDR2 is on another level!

Here's a bullshot from Konami

[RespectThySole]

Sure looks at GTA V or even GTA IV. their open world is more interactive than Horizon could ever hope for.

Easily. Horizon is one of the worst open worlds in terms of interaction

 

[ScientificPizza]

Yeah I agree. My excitement will drop dramatically if they reveal multiple protagonists again

THIS, a thousand times. I have hated the multiple protagonist gimmick in GTAV and Yakuza. Both of those games had narratives that suffered because of this aspect, and was often uneven and unfocused. At the absolute maximum, I would tolerate having a situation where the protagonist died and we got to play another character.

 

[kodecraft]

We'll see. Interested in this RDR2 though.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Graphically underwhelming.

With the emptiness of the "wild west" I expected to be blown away with what was on show, looks like an upressed rdr.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Could this be Bonnie MacFarlane?

Jack Marston?

[SneakersSO]

I get the feeling its only one protagonist for this game. Just cause they did it in GTAV doesn't mean its something they'll do in every game going forward.

 

[Laplasakos]

Could this be Bonnie MacFarlane?

Thought about it too, but then I remembered that in the first game, Bonnie said that she passed all her life in the ranch with her father.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Very hyped for this. Western atmosphere in RDR1 was bliss. Good story too.

 

[HellforLeather]

Could this be Bonnie MacFarlane?

Jack Marston?

Bonnie looks pretty spot on. No way for Jack since this is a prequel.

And no way that's Bonnie, that doesn't make any sense for her character

Both doesn't make sense at all..

 

[Durden77]

Yeah, this didn't do much for me. Something about it felt more...thick in a bad way than the original. Still am sure it will be a great game.

 

[Christocolus]

This looks really good. Can't wait to play.

 

[dreamfall]

That woman does look like Bonnie but it just doesn’t make sense.

 

[Alienfan]

I don't know, I think this looks graphically better than Uncharted 4. Plus it's open world.

 

[John Dunbar]

That woman does look like Bonnie but it just doesn’t make sense.

it's a sequel and a prequel like godfather part II.

 

[UnluckyKate]

This game. The wait shall be excruciating!

Outlaws to the end is a really striking tag line. To the end of a lowlife but also to the end of the Era as rdr is set in 1910 I think. I loved how it looked back as the era as a myth and embraced it as much as it deconstructed it

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

It could jump around in time, I don't think it will but making sure we know Dutch is in it could be a bait and switch.

 

[sn00zer]

Dang, nicee to see someone else try to compete with Horizon. Looks incredible.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Jack Marston?

nah, its a prequel

 

[RoKKeR]

Looks great but I don't need to know anything more about this game, other than a release date of course.

 

[Laplasakos]

it's a sequel and a prequel like godfather part II.

That would be awesome but it's not happening.

 

[dreamfall]

Huh, that’s very true. Maybe like a Mafia II situation, a long period of time in between. That would actually be amazing.

Perfectly fitting. I hope the Prequel has some great choice quotes on the art that match the game’s identity.

It's a prequel so that's not possible but depending on how many years back, this could be young John Marston? How old was he in the first game?

 

[Willy Wanka]

First trailer was better imo but I'm still very much looking forward to it. Nobody does open world detail quite like Rockstar.

 

[Joeku]

Don't think the Old Timer in that squad picture is Ricketts. He had never met John prior to the events of RDR if I recall correctly.

Now that'd be a thing; character swapping through time.

 

[GravityInsanity]

More like next year. Rockstar doesn't show up to conferences.

 

[Tovarisc]

I don't know, I think this looks graphically better than Uncharted 4. Plus it's open world.

You may need have eye check. RDR2 looks noticeably worse than UC4.

Hell it looks worse than its own Trailer 1.

One omission is Javier Escuella, assuming he played a key role in Dutch's Gang.

Perhaps, just perhaps, people thought Redemption was something special because John was a human and not some dastardly acting cartoon.

The problem is not that he seems to be evil, the problem is that he's so far shown to be a one tone, generic bandit, no different to the hundreds you kill when playing as John.
