First Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 18 Oct 2018 11:04 am

With Blackops 4 they shipped it before launch and I got it on friday launch day.

The problem is red dead redemption release date is also on a friggen Friday, so if the postie is late you are stuck until Monday.

The other option is pickup from JB for $69, they might price match the amazon $62 price.

I like the gamesmen, I have a lot of fond memories of the store growing up, great to see they're still going and they have an awesome retro museum.

Edit: Just perordered it through gamesmen, if it doesn't arrive by Friday I won't be too cut up, I have a tonne of stuff to play right now anyways.

I hear the single player campaign is 60hrs, so it's going to be long slog type of game. Who knows when the online component will be released.

I have my Target catalogue, $69, same as JB HIFI. I will be at EB early in the morning to price match.

New gameplay trailer to release, I think 1am tomorrow.

Ebgames was mean to me once when they didn't price match a JB hifi deal that had Fire Emblem Fates Conquest for $24.

I hope they don't pull that shit again. When you say you'll price match you got to take the loss and make it back somewhere else, not weasal out of the deal. I am a level 4 customer. Does Candy Arse work there now?

Will most likely buy my copy direct from JB now..

good to hear the campaign is long. This will probably be the last single player game before all the rockstar games turn into online titles.
That's when the creators should leave and go indie to work on new games. Nobody wants another mmo GTA and RDR title. Fuck the kiddies. Tell them to play roblox and minecraft. People like proper stories and shit.

Note how Call of Duty doesn't even have campaign anymore? I bet that happens to future rockstar open world games. Anything that gets too popular usually ends up getting shittier. It's a fact unless it's a nintendo game. It happened to saints row: all of sudden they made it into a crackdown clone after no.3. Now although that makes a great DLC idea, that idea took over the main games which used to be about street gangs at war which was the core of the game and the appealing thing about it. Thank god for games like Yakuza to keep me entertained.

Question: How much space will I need on my platform to install Red Dead Redemption 2?

Answer: The amount of space required to install Red Dead Redemption 2 depends on the platform you are using, and the method of installation:

Disc Installation:

PS4 - 99 GB installation space
Xbox One - 107 GB installation space
Digital Installation:

PS4 - 99 GB installation space with an additional 50GB for the installation process
Xbox One - 107 GB installation space

On 2 discs supposedly.

Interesting the X is larger, so I'm assuming there will be higher resolution textures on X? Not the first time we've seen it thanks to the extra 4GB of ram the X has.

Sharpen filter and black crush to take up 8GB?

Well this is embarrassing.

It appears that the X1X does indeed have an optional texture pack. 4K to be exact.

*rumour.

What's embarrassing? Genuine question...

Wouldn't be the first game to have a 4K texture upgrade I don't think...

flipswitch · Post by **flipswitch** » 20 Oct 2018 05:33 pm

I replied to Lestat’s comment on how he said the Xbox X has additional ram that could be used for 4K textures. I joked ( lolz) with, by turning on “texture sharpening and added black crush?” ( like some of the early XB1 games such as BF4)

But it turns out he could be correct and XB1 might have a 4K texture pack.

Shit, that's a great deal. If there was something similar here I'd probably cave.

RD2 preordered and it's already installed apparently. At least they allowed that.

Did you book Friday off Cletus?

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 24 Oct 2018 02:09 pm

Just got an email from gamesmen that they packed my copy of RDR2, should hopefully arrive Friday.

I think reviews are meant to hit tomorrow.

flipswitch · Post by **flipswitch** » 24 Oct 2018 02:18 pm

On reddit, PS4 disc installation takes around 2 hours, and 17hrs on Xbox

No I couldn't because I have jury duty on monday

Full map has been leaked.
Not sure what to think, but I guess we’ll see plenty of hay bales blowing by.

"Jury Duty", more like Judge, Jury, Executioner with a six shooter. Amirite?

Can't be the full map, given the partial placename "oint". Also it's video game tradition for maps to be basically square.
