Probably just going to get the $100 version, because why not?

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I was talking to my 9 year old son. He's what I would describe as a current gamer. He has COD on his Christmas list and plays Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft even GTA Online. It's all social, if his friends aren't online he's not even playing. Anyway, I asked him if he or any of his friends were excited about RDR2. He said, " That's an old people game, daddy." lol. Yes. Indeed it is.

No offense to your son Junior Moe Jr., but thank goodness this game doesn't attract those people. The less they are around, the better chance we have at getting SP DLC.

I still haven't forgiven Rockstar for ditching their SP DLC on GTA V because they realized they could lazily make a dime doing MP only. Rockstar is like Pixar to me now: once immortal gods, but they have shown they can do wrong even though they most always do right. I think RDR is a huge correction to that notion and it so far looks to be a perfect masterpiece.

I just hope the post-release support is there from them in a way that doesn't cripple the SP/MP experience unfavorably away from "old people" like us.

The weakness continues, as I reserved the special edition today.

None taken. They're a very different market; A profitable one at that as I just spent more on Fortnite for some skull skin. I've noticed that my son had zero interest in any of the games (GOW, Spiderman, RDR2) I was I excited about this year. Spiderman surprised me as he's super into the super hero stuff. But it's all social for them now. I think that's more important than the actual quality of the title. I kind of like that RDR2 appears to be geared towards us single player "old heads". Hopefully, that carries over and we get single player DLC we never got from GTA Online.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

If they somehow do DLC, im hoping for Undead Nightmare 2 as I read/heard the original was real good.

I just did the same thing I wanted to finish it before RDR 2. Although I do have AC Odyssey as well but that will last me a long time.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

The making of Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2

The final script for Red Dead Redemption 2’s main story was about 2,000 pages. But if he were to include all the side missions and additional dialogue, and stack the pages, Dan estimates the pile “would be eight feet high.” Bringing the script to life meant 2,200 days of motion-capture work — compared with just five for Grand Theft Auto III — requiring 1,200 actors, all SAG-AFTRA, 700 of them with dialogue. “We’re the biggest employers of actors in terms of numbers of anyone in New York, by miles,” says Dan. Before a motion-capture shoot that would last two or three weeks, there were meetings “four hours each day for four days. We want it as tight as possible for motion-capture because we’re burning a lot of money very quickly [at those sessions].”

The polishing, rewrites, and reedits Rockstar does are immense. “We were working 100-hour weeks” several times in 2018, Dan says. The finished game includes 300,000 animations, 500,000 lines of dialogue, and many more lines of code. Even for each RDR2 trailer and TV commercial, “we probably made 70 versions, but the editors may make several hundred. Sam and I will both make both make lots of suggestions, as will other members of the team.”

“even the peds [RDR2’s non-playable characters] have 80-page scripts — each.”

The soundtrack helps, too. You hear sounds of nature, long ambient notes in the wilderness, or the Irish-influenced strain of an antique banjo from a nearby campfire. “We have 192 interactive mission scores, and we thought about the music constantly from the time we brought in [composer] Woody Jackson in 2015,” says Ivan Pavlovich, Rockstar’s music supervisor. “Sam was always asking early on, ‘What’s the feel [of the game]?’ ” The feels are many: Pavlovich says players can hear entire concerts at town vaudeville shows, as well as more atmospheric music when they explore the open world and encounter some 200 animal species, each of which makes its own sound.

Nice! I'll easily get a good 150-200 hours out of this game.

Everyone should read this. I had no idea the scope of what a game like this takes to make.

Be careful of that Vulture article as people on resetera said that there's early game spoilers in the article. Don't know how true that is but im staying away. LOL.
