The proper trailer's just dropped.
I think a little bit of wee just came out.
Totally failed to get into 1.
Turns out that minutes of galloping slowly through the desert is not as much fun as tearing through a city in a fast car risking death and spectacular crashes. Who knew?
Agree, quite enjoyed playing the first one though. Reminded me of spending ages just cruising up and down the beach on a chopper in Vice City just marvelling at the sunset, etc.
Got a life now though, so ain't got time for none o that any more 🙂
First one was epic! I imagine I'll get this, and then never ever get around to playing it.
I took RedDead1 back about two plays in - super boring for me - I've never gotten on with GTA - Max Payne 3 I finished - overall I find Rockstar super boring . . I need a new game though - happy to be proven wrong with RedDead2 .

You are me AICMFP.
The original RDR is probably in my top three titles for the 360, probably even #1. It's one of the few games I've got 100% completion on. I'm so very looking forward to this.
Looks great, maybe you should post it to http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/amid-the-speculation-rockstar-games-announce

Balls. I searched the forum first too and that didn't turn up. I'll close this and move my post.
Actually - no I won't, I'll close the other one as this has a clearer title. The other thread is months old apart from a thread revival a week ago teasing the trailer.
Can’t wait for this, took me a while to get into the first one, compared to a GTA title is slower and despite being very good in some parts in quite a few others it’s a glitchy mess. I was amazed when I bought it again a few months ago for Xbox One that R* have never patched it.
It’s a great game though, I’ll happily spend an hour in Tall Pines hunting.
Once you unlock the coaches or upgraded camp site it’s quick and easy to get around the map.
FIFA 2018 tomorrow, RDR2 in spring. Praise be
Actually what I hope is that this doesn’t turn into the next GTA online. GTAV has a great story mode, but R* soon forgot about it in favour of a million re-skins of existing cars / cars online.
I hope it does, GTA online is brilliant

First one was great. The missus and MIL went away for a spa weekend. FIL came back from the club to find me sat on the living room floor in a poncho drinking Makers Mark straight from the bottle whilst playing it.
No longer own a console and have a three year old and new arrival imminent. Play it for me!
Don't you have a works conference or sommething else you can fake for a week away in a hotel playing RDR2? The missus will never find out.
Yeah - Xbox One or PS4 is £240 these days, £50 for the game and £60 a night for a premier inn - worth every penny.

Sounds like my perfect night in TBH.

It pretty much was mine at the time 🙂
Looking at the trailer I can't believe the jump in looks from the PS3. Lead character is clean shaven though, which goes against my Sergio Leone western theme.
Used to wind up my mate no end when I shot his horse and ran off repeatedly.
I want this badly.
Oooh! I forgot about the announcement.
Just in from work goig to watch it in a bit.
Loved the original (and Red Dead Revolver) but the save file glitched around half way through and I couldn't be bothered to start over from scratch.
I'll probably buy it but I'll have to factor in the cost of a PS4.
Holy Shit Balls!
Loved the first one and the trailer looked great, but expecting (and hoping) a bit more wow graphically from Rockstar.
Have you seen the original trailer?

Balls! What am I supposed do in the summer now ride my bloody bike or somethig
No idea but look at that.
Oh my.
looks rad. But then we knew that.
even if it looked shite I'd still be ordering it.
That’s going to be my reason for buying a PS4. No doubt in my mind.
Looking good. Hope they don't change the release date again, I've got some leave booked!
The date is set the other ones were speculation they never gave an exact date on those ones.
Reminds me of the time I gave a couple a lift back from the speigel tent on my rickshaw... the guy had mad bants and invited me in when we arrived... went in and was amazed by how s****y his house was, then saw a few BAFTAs hanging about.
Turned out it was Leslie Benzies, the dude behind GTA and Red Dead Redemption. He's a super cool and generous guy and the only customer I ever let ride my rickshaw with me as a passenger
He was jamming on the guitar and telling me about a new project that was set to be released soon; turned out it was the original Red Dead Redemption...
Happy days playing rdr1, hours spent in the scrubland looking for herbs! I remember that ghost town as well. Amazing. Sadly won't be able to play rdr2 as got no time although my son might let me watch him.
lol, same. It was visually & thematically engrossing (and great fun!) but at the same time ****ing tedious and a massive waste of time! Presume this will be more of the same!!Happy days playing rdr1, hours spent in the scrubland looking for herbs!
Broke my neck a couple of years ago, RDR1 helped pass many an hour.
Would love to play RDR2, but can't see me finding the time unless something else similarly debilitating happens...

One of the things I loved about RDR was that you had the option depending on your mood at the time. You could throw yourself into missions all guns blazing, or could just noodle around picking herbs and trying not to get mauled by cougars.
That’s going to be my reason for buying a PS4. No doubt in my mind.
The new God of War should fulfill that role, tbh.
Herbs and cougars sounds like a night out in the Big Market.
Ermahgerd. That looks awesome.
Still planning to buy it and never play it. Apparently games like this are not appropriate for an 18 month old to watch. Like he's impressionable at that age!?
It says "18" on the box so you'll be fine.
Just watched the trailer. John Marston!!
Was chatting to a bloke a few weeks ago who has been making this. Not normally my cup of tea but sounds like they've been doing some interesting stuff in it so may have to check it out.
I can't wait for this, whilst the timing (and usual R* hype building delays) is annoying, Oct ain't the end of the world
1) is the Boy's birthday and he loves RDR as much as me, easy present.
2) Evening riders are loooooooong gone. Might as well have a game.
Hopefully it'll come to PC too.
sounds like they’ve been doing some interesting stuff
Ooh, insider knowledge? Spill!
More juicy tasters.
Giddy as an 8 year old. 🙂
not long to go now!
Nope looking good.
I wonder if i'll finish god of war by then
My heart does sink a bit when they talk about Online. Perhaps I'm just old, but I hated GTA online, it took a great looking world, removed all the detail and replaced it with ADHD suffering teens full of impotent rage who seemingly cant find words evil enough to express it.
As per the video, heists were meant to fix all that and actually give players something they HAD to work together on, but it only took a day or two before they just became a long-play rooftop rumble. Everyone playing at warp speed / muscle memory to complete it as quickly as possible to earn more money for the latest re-skinned car or weapon and woe betide anyone who perhaps hadn't played through it 100 before and did something non-standard.
Still as long as the story mode is long and interesting I'll be happy.
RDR online was good fun, GTA V online is good fun but yes manic chaos I guess it's just not for you.
I also never got into GTA online, quite amusing, but just utter carnage, not in a good way. Still looking forward to RDR2 though, better have a solid campaign mode. It’s got to, the first one nailed it.
Having been really looking forward to playing the original, I gave up after about half an hour, deciding rather hastily that it was not for me. I now have a wee urge to go back and give it another try, as I’d be keen to give the new game a go. Has anyone played the original recently? Has it aged well?
Well I’ve preordered this am and no it’s not because of this.
i finished God of War. I may now pre order . cracking testicles those
I mistakenly thought it was out today. Now I'm dissdisappoi.
Has anyone played the original recently? Has it aged well?
Not 'last week' recently, but yeah, it still holds its own.
I keep meaning to hook up my PS3 to play it again but don’t think I’ll bother now.
Is it not backwards compatible on the PS4 (like it is on the Xbox, ahem 🙂 )?
Nope the tight gits use PS Now for that which is subscription based although there is a handful available on PS Store, Red Dead Revolver being one. I have all but my PS1 though so it’s not an issue, that said I’ve never used any of the old ones since.
Revolver's pretty poor. I can see why they effectively disowned it with "RDR2" rather than RDR3.
Speaking of preorders,
Before I hit "buy now" on Amazon, where's best to preorder from? I'm assuming standard delivery will get it here on release day?
Revolver’s pretty poor. I can see why they effectively disowned it with “RDR2” rather than RDR3.
Well I'm pretty sure they were clear it's called RDR 2 as it's the second Redemption plus it's actually a prequel.
I ordered mine for PSN as my daughter can share the games. HMV showing the cheapest not sure how good they are for delivery for release date.
Bottom pic is celebrity cameo from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Haha!
This game is taking my fancy and I can get a hold of a surplus to requirements xbox one s to play it on -
Will this be worth playing on an xbox one s or will it be crap compared to xbox one x?
Does the same game play on both versions of the console or do you need to buy specific ones for each?
Same version just on an Xbox One X it'll be 4K if you have a 4K TV.
Ta! I don't have a 4k tv so that's that sorted then!
Looks incredible. I too may buy it and then never actually play it - got about 15 games in the queue at the moment - but I may wait until it’s dropped in price a bit first.
On the other hand I might just pre-order - that way it won’t get played for longer 🙂
If it’s anything like the last couple of Rockstar games the price drop will take a longtime, partly as they don’t release a new one every year.
Looking pretty in-depth.
This looks fantastic, gutted it's not coming to the PC anytime soon.

Very true. Might just bite the bullet and get it ordered...

Hope this is a feature in the new one - I realised how useful this was way too late in RDR1
Given the mapm size is supposedly much bigger I'd hope so.
Yup it's pretty big.
