You name it by thinking "I'm going to call this horse 'Barry'."

Then, when you ride him, you remember "I called this horse 'Barry', I remember!"

Then when your character is getting off the horse, you mumble under breath "Good boy Barry" and you hope no-one heard you say it.

That's how it works. It worked last game, too.

Oh god, not again.

Hey guys, I know this probably isn't the best thread to ask but I figure a lot of you will be using PS4 Pro's so might have some experience.

I am thinking of getting a PS4 Pro, I don't have a 4k TV but i do have a 2160p monitor. If I plug my PS4P into that, will the game display at 2160p or will I get some sort of butchered downgrade?

I have a PS4 currently, do you think the upgrade will be worth it if I'm not using 4k? I'd like the framerate to stay at 30 as much as possible generally.

You may not have a 4K TV but you do have a 4K monitor (2160p is 4k) so there shouldn't be any problem as long as your monitor supports 4K/60Hz.

If it doesn’t, the picture may be scaled down to 2K/60Hz. the PS4 Pro should automatically enable 4K if it detects a 4K compatible device connected to it.

Weapons update. The more I read about this game the less I can believe it's even real, but everything so far has been verified by previews and official media. I guess this is what you get when you have unlimited money and effectively unlimited time to make a game. Next two weeks are going to be slow waiting.

I remember they said that if you skin an animal, it actually shows it in all its gory glory and you need to carry the skin back to your horse's saddlebags instead of just shoving it in your Back Pocket of Holding.

Saddlebags of holding instead.

If your horse dies I wonder if you have to carry everything to a new horse?

Red Dead Redemption is literally the only video game I would play other than the occasional urge to do some 'Craftin'. I threw my 360 out in 2014 and am console-less since.

I'm really torn up if its worth buying a new console just for this, especially since I'd go the lowball route, which appears to be a 1TB XboxOne or 500gb PS4. I've been pumped for this game for soo long, but looking at consoles idk what to do. I guess the cost of XboxLive really makes me lean towards PS4. blegh.

And my thought is, if there was a sizeable amount of goons to play RDR2 with for a couple of years it might make it more worthwhile.

I'm assuming a PC version will be out in ~6 months, and if it's not, well, you can still buy a console then, yeah?

It’s... alright. Better than the official console magazines, but nothing you can’t get from the Internet these days. They usually have nicely designed covers and layouts, I stopped buying it when Leigh Alexander left.

there won't be nearly as many streets like GTA so i think it'll be worth trying it

idk if i wanna do first person only on top of it though since there's gonna be cutscenes and stuff anyway

When i traded gta v a little over a year ago i got 25 bucks for it though so ... (with my 20% bonus for elite membership and probably also a bonus trade credit promo)

In other GameStop news, my ultimate edition preorder is finally payed off, my local store is doing a 9pm release on the 25th, and I've taken the 26th off from work. I'm so excited and gay

I don't recall if it was already mentioned or not but apparently there's going to be a PS4 Pro bundle with RDR2 for free if anyone was interested in that sort of thing. Article I saw from 9/25 said the only one guaranteeing availability on release day is Best Buy with local pickup, so here's the link if interested:

Honestly the busy work is kind of getting me worried.

Have to change inventory from the horse? Interesting gameplay implications. Horse can lerma die? Could be interesting worried about it tripping on a rock and glitch dieing. Have to take care of horse? Okay? Have to dress for the weather? Uhh wait a sec. Have to clean clothes and take showers? I don't see what- Gotta shave that beard. Ummm sir. EAT TOO MUCH GET FAT. Please no more...

It'll probably only have minor impact. Like if you don't put on a coat while going up in the mountains, you stamina may drain a bit faster, but you probably won't freeze to death :shrug:
That being said, I can't wait to groom my horse, take care of it, learn it some tricks and then accidentally shoot it in the back of the head with a shotgun while I'm chasing outlaws.
