I don't care what race or gender the main character is. As long as I can tie people up and put them on my horse and do horrible poo poo to them like put them in front trains I'm good. Great villains transcend race and gender

My favorite moment in the previous generation of gaming was when you crossed into Mexico for the first time as the music blared. That was loving sweet.

Why are people saying all the dudes on the posters are all white? The 2nd last guy to the left looks like he could be pretty Latino to me... but I guess it's kinda hard to tell when the colour of their skin isn't shown in the first place, lol.

Not really an outlaw, but Stagecoach Mary was one of my favorite period hardasses. (Edit: Beaten with a wikipedia link) Personally I don't want a prequel about the same guys I killed or saw die in the last game; there's not really anything for me to look forward to there. Other stuff happening in and around the period or before it is fine, so long as the characters are new. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Oct 18, 2016 |

BillBear posted:To be fair, GTA has never tried to take anything ever seriously, apart from IV I guess. This. In GTA v everyone is either a mouthpiece for something or a stereotype or the main characters who are a mix of both. Red dead isn't like GTA, yeah it has some of the humor but most of the characters are real characters (apart from a few background ones like Herbert moon) it's more open world last of us type then gta. I am sure they will have well written women and minority characters. TwoDogs1Cup posted:Calamity Jane I guess

I'm just glad R* can and does do whatever they want without having to worry what some clickbait chode is going to write. It must drive those types nuts that no amount of overwrought thinkpieces will make a dent in their success. Oh no GTA V aka the most ambitious game of last gen that attempts a scathing indictment of every goddamn thing in this country is mean to women. Well, Mary Sue already has a clickbait turd article whining because, despite not seeing one second of footage, the tiny silhouettes on the teaser poster does not "appear" to have a woman among them. Since it's become common for some to say how they hope game does (x) just to piss off sone imagined redpill'd redditor, I'm going to say I hope R* keeps doing what they do just so they can give those who own problem glasses a frothing fit. We honestly don't know if there's more than one playable character yet, and the pitchforks are already getting greased in case it doesn't check the right demographics.

That whole "justify their salaries" speech at the end of the first one is something I can never unlearn. It pops into my mind a lot. RDR was such a great game.

Dumb talk aside, I'm very curious to see how Rockstar does with their first game since longtime producer Leslie Benzies left the company. There are internal memos from the Housers that suggest he's the guy who would sort of reign in the development chaos once it was time to assemble the many moving parts of these games into something you could actually ship. He's suing, says they basically forced him out to avoid paying a fuckton of royalties. I remember when the EA Spouse stuff dropped, there was also something from a Rockstar spouse who said development on RDR was a disaster. That turned around, to say the least. How feasible is it to just replace a guy who has been making sure the trains run on time on this very specific style of game since at least GTA III?

Basically, all the hacks that R* San Diego made to the RAGE engine to get certain things to work wound up having the finished product be held together with toothpicks, chewing gum and the harvested souls of unicorns. San Diego got so in over its head that Rockstar wound up having to have staff from literally all its studios transferred over to the RDR project in order to get it out the door.

As an example, to get the iconic scenes where music plays in Mexico and when John heads home they had to cobble together a system where the music was tied to the horse you got on. That's why if you get off the horse or don't ride the one they give you it stops/doesn't play.

Yeah the man all the way on the right is definitely a Native American, while the man in the middle and the two on the far left are white. The other three could end up being white or hispanic, hard to tell at this level of detail.

Is RDR on that playstation now service? I never got a chance to play it when it came out. It seems like that and demon souls are two last gen games that would actually benefit from a remaster but doesn't seem to happen.

I would have loved a playable Calamity Jane-type character (best part of Deadwood), but we'll know more tomorrow. Really hoping they don't opt for a prequel because the Marston story was complete in RDR, and it seems like you could do some super varied stuff rather than "notorious outlaw gang."Oxxidation posted:RDR's nature as a period piece helped rein in the worst of Rockstar's tedious "satire," so hopefully that'll hold up for a sequel. This was something I really appreciated about it. GTAV was good at criticism of modern day America in some of the environments - communes set up by people who lost their homes in the housing crisis and things like that - but so many of their characters are like jesus christ just shut the gently caress up already.
