Red Dead Redemption

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I would be surprised if it's actually called Red Dead Redemption 2 (Red Dead Revenge, Red Dead other R word, whatever. I don't think they use a number.) and I definitely know R* could design a better logo than that, so I don't buy any of that.

My guess is they're working on it and when they finally reveal it the wait won't be terribly long. Like it'll be released in the same year that it's revealed.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Seriously, Red Dead Redemption 2? That article could have tried a little harder to be convincing/creative.

I wonder if TheShizNo1 will be the main protagonist in the next game ?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I want it so bad I'm willing to believe just about anything.

I'm also patiently waiting for them to announce they've decided to make an LA Noire sequel even though Team Bondi closed. That was one of the most beautiful games I ever played on the 360. I can't even imagine what they could do in next gen.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I would love an actual police adventure/investigation game similar to LA Noire, but more involved and less handholding on the crime scenes. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up on Hardline.

The Homicide Case storyline was one of the best experience of gaming last gen. Absolutely great stuff.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I'm at almost 48 hours of playing time on my 100% completion game that I fire up every now and then and hunt & wreak havoc. Had a few cool new things happen...

Spoiler

• I had about $15k in cash and a bounty over $2,500 in the US and I got ambushed by a big group of marshals. It was a pretty cool shootout but as usual I had plenty of medicine and Dead Eye refills so I wasn't worried. I thought I had killed all of the marshals but one was still alive, standing right behind me, and got up and shot me at point blank range with a shotgun, killing me and sending me down into a river too for dramatic effect too lol. Now maybe this was a glitch because I don't remember this happening before but even though I was killed I was sent to jail and had all of my money taken away (and my bounty cleared of course). I've never had that happen to me, maybe the only time I've been killed after getting 100% completion was by a non-lawman or an animal.
• I just found the "Missing Supply Wagon" random encounter in Manzanita, can't believe it took so long. I didn't complete it though because it was a vicious ambush that killed me. Usually the "sneak up to a wagon to save a damsel in distress" random encounters are easy but this one had shooters from both sides of the road. I was surrounded and went down quickly.
• I unlocked the "Manifest Destiny" achievement for killing every last buffalo and making them extinct.
• I don't know how I never noticed this in the past but lately I've seen a ton of random travelers hop off their horse right near me and walk over to a rock to take a piss. There's a stream of urine and everything lol. Really don't know how I never saw this until 45+ hours of playing this save/game.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

"From there, KpopStarz added some new information to the story, claiming that "Red Dead Redemption 2" would have a release date in Fall 2015. The site also added a potential first image from the sequel, which can be seen above. According to KpopStarz, the potential release date might be in November, for Xbox One and Playstation 4."

I know nothing of this site or their sources etc and so on. But this article lost me at that sentence...R* (AAA game designers in general) could vomit a better picture than this for a game of RdR's magnitude.

They seem to have changed their tune, no longer claiming that it's confirmed.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Officially underway? Like they only started on the game recently? I know that's a load. Games are usually well into the production by the time the media catches wind or announces them. Unless it's a true sequel. But this won't or shouldn't be a true sequel. I have to imagine this'll take place earlier on. Maybe somewhere closer to the Civil War era? I'm not sure when Red Read Revolver took place...

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Revolver, according to Wikipedia, was 1880s

I'm hoping they do less modern than redemption in the next one. Like, let's go old school.

They have a lot of history to work with. I assumed that New Austin was always a re-imagining of Texas, and having the Texan War of Independence or even the Indian Wars across the western part of the State would be interesting places to go to. Perhaps Bleeding Kansas or the Kingdom of Utah could also be some places to look at. Rockstar has a wide slate to play off of.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Not sure about that, go prior to the civil war and you are limiting your guns and gunplay (only single shot weapons*), you are severely changing the tone (all of the gunfighter and outlaw old west stuff was post civil war).

*Technically revolvers were around before, but they didn't proliferate until the civil war.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

LOL!

In all seriousness, I would LOVE for them to incorporate some real life outlaws and legends into this game like Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Wild Bill, The Earps, Doc Holliday, John Wesley Hardin and of course, Billy the Kid.

How awesome would that be?
