Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4/XBO/PC)

@black-cell said in Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4/XBO):
I really hope they announce PC version soon.
I'll probably just get it for PS4. I recently finished putting together a home theater system. I can use my computer from the living room with 65 feet of HDMI and a wireless keyboard and mouse (The dongle is connected to a long USB repeater cable stapled to the wall.), but the lag is slightly too great for PC playing. I mostly use the PC from the living room to watch movies and listen to music without headphones. I could PC game in the living room by moving the computer over there, but I really don't want to. I'm not expecting a great shooter anyway. Rockstar is more concerned with realism than efficiency and fun. GTA V was so sluggish. It tries to be authentic at the expense of animations. You just know the default movement is gonna be walking. Even accelerating from a walk to a run or vise versa takes a slow moment. It's just poor. Their open world design is a jack of all trades. The core mechanics are never that good because they have to do so many different things, appease so many different fans. Which makes the mouse and keyboard benefit not that important. Might as well make full use of my new entertainment center for this one, which I spent far too much on not to see/hear this wild west on. What's the point of better graphics if I'm looking at them through a 27 inch screen with no HDR and no surround sound?

This looks to be going in the right direction. I felt like RDR didn't need to be in the west. The gameplay was essentially just a typical shooter. RDR2 suits the theme a lot more with the bar fights, and roaming the varied wild environments. It doesn't look like GTA in the Wild West and I'm happy about that.
-
@dipset RDR wasnt GTA in the wild west though.....
-
GTA IV and RDR are very similar games. Especially the cover system, shooting mechanics, and mostly mission structure. I felt like RDR could have been a lot more than it was and so could GTA V for that matter as each game has only marginally introduced new ideas since GTA IV. RDR2 already has addressed my concern that there will not be new ideas. It looks a lot more fresh than I imagined.

Rockstar's been busy: so far they've tweeted 22 character posters like this today, every 30 minutes or so.
Check them out on their account, no sense copying them all here. I don't know how many there'll be, but I need some sleep now and check the rest in the morning.

@sentinel-beach Aaaand.... I still hate Uncle. Even when he's younger.
-
Pretty much the same as with GTA V, then.
-
Jones just uploaded his hand-on preview. Haven't watched it, it's pretty long (40 minutes).
Also, there's this. Man, i forgot that GTA V had FPS mode so i didn't expect this at all. I'll be playing in first person the whole way through, this is a dream come true for me lol.

First person mode confimred. YAY!!
its also indicator that it may release on PC.
-
Is it too early to call this Game of the Year? Cause, I mean, sorry God of War, Yakuza and Spider-man, but this game is just exceeding my already high expectations at every turn.

@b-cell
How is a first person mode a indicator that it might release on PC
-
@capnbobamous
Possibly want to add AC to that, but that mostly because I'm a sucker for greek myth and history

105gb, must be for the dynamic horse testicle physics
-
Someone on reddit says download sizes are usually double ish on PSN because you can play it while downloading it or something like that, not idea how true that is
-
@acardattack
That was the case on PS3 but not on PS4 I believe.

Man, this was a great showing. Now I was smiling more than ever before yet. Gameplay and game mechanics shown like this made the video and Arthur himself much more relatable. This'll be gooood. So good. And the end of that duel, for example. Rough.
-
Ya, I'm not huge on Read Dead Redemption but that gameplay demo was very impressive. Definitely looking forward to checking it out.
Also, very good beards! :D
