Rockstar has always, always marketed games like this

A quick look at the Rockstar youtube channel shows that Max Payne 3, RDR1 and LA Noire all had around a dozen fairly in-depth trailers released prior to the launch trailer.

better mark my calendar for the release date to the trailer of the next gameplay clip so i can know as much about it as possible even though i've been waiting for this sequel for years

lol some people are really stretching when trying to find ways to nitpick things about this unfinished game and the devs

also when has RDR ever forced you to even progress the story beyond the beginning? from what i remember you can just gently caress off and run around and kill people or explore stuff however you feel like as if its GTA

Yeah, though you could do some shenanigans to get into them early. Like getting arrested north of Bonnie's ranch where the game recognizes you as being in Tall Trees, you go to jail in Blackwater. I always did this once I got the lasso so I could go and get the best horse immediately, same for the buffalo rifle :v:

Getting back into New Austin was a little tricky as you had to jump the gap at Thieve's Landing just right.

Watch them capture all promo material on PC with an RTX 2080 then delay the pc port's release for a year and a half.

Cant all xbox games run on a pc now? I thought this gen they all could run on pc its just whether or not they allow it and build the options that you expect like fov settings etc. But on the developer end i though they could run everything on a pc now.

ps4 or xbox? I mean, GTA 5 came out like...5 years ago now? It looked pretty great on last gen consoles and when it was re-released for current gen it looked better-er-er. I'm assuming the lack of giant cites, cars, pedestrians and what not being around you 90% of the time gives Rockstar the time to just make Red Dead just look beautiful.

Though, I'm sure a few of those shots might be played up, but I honestly believe they just built the engine up over the years.

Ok I was just curious if the game would really look that much better on the Xbox pro S max or the PS pro but no one will really know till it launches I guess.

Both XBox and PS4 are using x86 processors as I recall. But Rockstar has to double dip so idiots like me buy it twice. They gotta know that sweet-spot for rabid fanboys not wanting to wait is somewhere above six months. I hope that GTA5's ridiculous delay was a fluke mainly caused by timing when they realized they could release it for a new generations of consoles to see how many idiots would triple-dip.

Yeah there was a period of time there where Rockstar actually had really cool informative marketing. Like they would break down the trailers into covering different aspects of the game, such as the physics engine or music. It was all very educational and helped build hype, but they just stopped doing it completely.

that was at the start of August and we havent seen one since then though with the game only a month out, which is kind of frustrating.

but yeah I do agree that people are being ridiculously nitpicky about this game, starting from the hysteria months back about how it probably wouldnt even have single player because of Rock$tar.

if you dont really play games for the story and want to skip through whatever you can I guess more power to you but rockstars whole thing is kind of these story driven immersive exposition type of games. you have to know going in thats the design direction and you may not be the target audience

New hat! With rat! And bullet hole! Also nice to see the Volcanic pistol is back and you can mix and match your pistols. Now show me the drat LeMat and the Sharps rifle already :argh:

I really hope Rat Hat isn't a special hat and is indeed what you get when you turn a rat corpse into a hat. It gives me hope that all 200ish animals can then be fashioned into clothing. Trout hat. Gila Monster hat. Turkey vulture hat. Even if it's just feathers/scales/accoutrements I will wear every drat animal in this game.

It would also be nice if you could wear more than one piece of jewellery at a time.

The layering of clothes stuff in single player has me cautiously optimistic, but Im not holding my breath.

This is purely speculative but I'd say it would have a lot to do with how RDR: Online does. If it's anything like GTA:O they'll want to spread out to PC just to sell..cowboy shark cards or whatever, if the market is there.
