I would assume so. They haven't done anything since Undead Nightmare AFAIK, which was 2 years ago.

Yeah they should have crammed a ton of extra buildings and maybe a bowling alley in there to spice it up.
More of the same I hope. It has lasted longer than most expected at this point.

Around 3pm EST, so in about 2 hours.
You play RDR for the atmosphere; the rest is just filler.

I'm sure the country won't be empty. I'm expecting a few small towns at least. Liberty City was huge and I expect Los Santos will be bigger, so it's not like there will be less city it just won't be cut up into 3 mini-cities.

Female robot protagonist.
Oh well, there's always Saint's Row 4, right?
There's a mission in Saint's Row 3 where you murder food cosplayers if that's close enough for you.

You can shoot ducks in RDR just fine. Remember the final mission..?
Anything to make it more fun. That's the problem when you make a dedication to realism and then set it in one of the most boring times in history, the wild west.
Fixed.

I always got the impression that it didn't maintain as much longevity (numbers and communal-wise) as they hoped. That's could be just me; then again, I had a blast playing what little of it I did with friends.
What if it's a constantly online/persistent world where single and multiplayer mesh? O.O
See that's your problem.
I love the wild west so adore RDR if you hate that time then I can see why you found the game 'boring'

3 protagonists, for real? i doubted multiple main characters, but i think i'm glad i was wrong. could be really something if they pull it off.
what i'm hoping for is flexibility in using them, implemented in a way that feels realistic. for example, if you're controlling a character and you don't want to complete a certain mission with him, you could drive to another character's house and switch to him (maybe with a short cutscene where they discuss the mission or whatever), and your previous character stays at his place to watch tv or something.
things like that. i'd love it.

But it wasn't a problem for most people. It's one of the best received games this generation, and there wasn't really a majority backlash some time after like there was with IV. IV was a big let down for me and I agree with most of the criticisms. RDR is my game of the generation.

I will agree that the wild west setting is certainly an acquired taste for some.
I'm not the biggest 'western guy' when it comes to movies and shows, but loved RDR.

Oh man, you're right.

The problem with RDR wasn't the time period, it was the fact that if you didn't like westerns (or at least rural West Texas through Arizona), most of the environments aren't likely to resonate with you.
Personally, I think the actual real nature and history of the American West from prehistory to around the time period of the game is actually probably one of the most compelling and depressing bits of all human history.

God's had his chance.
So .. groundbreaking way to use more than 1 main character...
Hot swapping between the 3?
Using characters to support the others (build up missions between the 3... not very ground breaking)
All 3 always mobbing together... when the protag you are using gets sent to the hospital you switch to the next crew member... game dynamically handles these changes.
Main protags dieing off as the game progresses?
conversations with yourself! perhaps crazy drop in/out co-op?
Git hype.

I wouldn't say the wild west is the most boring era, but it doesn't translate into a game at all. Works wonderfully for cinema though, and all you have to do is look at something by Sergio Leone.

Well, we now know that this guy is one the protags:

It's likely a next-gen game, so I doubt we hear anything for a while. The new consoles haven't even been announced yet.
I find that period boring because nothing was around and there wasn't anything fun to do. If anything the game was a perfect example of that. You could do missions or wait all day for an animal that you need to spawn and kill it. How fun.

Don't get me wrong - it SHOULD be a next gen game. RDR was so goddam gorgeous that I am salivating at the prospect of a next gen version of it.
I'm just desperate for info :lol
Why would you do that?

By no means was GTA IV a serious or realistic game, but compared to the other games, it did move toward that direction. Based solely on the art style, I'm hoping GTA V moves back toward the craziness and zaniness of the older games. I really miss things like nitrous in cars, exploding shotgun shells, jetpacks, homing missiles, flamethrowers, standing on top of cars, and the like.
The thing I hope for the most, however, is a good cheat system. I really hate RDR's cheat system. I want to be able to have fun with spawning cheats, like in San Andreas spawning tons of planes on top of each other until they explode, or in GTA IV flying in a helicopter while spawning cars in front of me to crash into.
Also RDR did a stupid thing where you could only unlock some cheats by doing things like joining Rockstar's social club or by unlocking them through other outside means.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the article.

You know for all the bitching about GTAIV, I still think that had they implemented a proper lobby system, their multiplayer would've been extremely popular. Cops'N Crooks and Team Mafiya were both incredibly fun.

This x 1,000.
The fact that Far Cry 2 is one of your games of this gen makes your feelings about RDR even more hilarious.

I think maybe I'm getting confused here as to whether you're complaining about the actual location and time period, or how it was portrayed in RDR.
I loved RDR because I enjoyed the environments and missions, but most of the rest of the game lost me even as a fan of Hollywood Westerns.
RDR had a much,much better lobby system I'm expecting something very special for GTAV MP

Ok, had to get used to the idea of multiple protags, but it might work. And I can't say enough how much I love that bald guy. I don't know why but he has something. Also, that guy in the suits looks very, very boss. Awesome.
So I was thinking about this multiple protag thing. Maybe each one of them has certain character specific traits/perks/abilities/contacts or whatever? Can't wait to play as the bald guy!
