Can't wait to see what the PC scene will do with this game, it's gonna be fun.
Unfortunately the only thing that can't be modded is the writing of Dan Houser.

This is me too.
I am not very far on the X but I built a PC couple months ago and now I am waiting for that version.
for new players, get hyped.....as you are about to play as one of the greatest protagonists in the history of the media of gaming
Not just one of. The greatest protagonist.
The reflections are pretty bad yeah, ray traced reflections would be the cherry on top, but the settings for RDR2 already got leaked for the companion app, so likely no RTX, maybe post launch though.
I agree. PC ver in Dec-Feb.And Next Gen Scarlett/PS5 version at launch Nov 2020.
Also Stadia in 2020.
Cyberpunk will everywhere as well.
The next gen idea is interesting, because it's already 4K on XBX & 4Kish on Pro, i wonder how much of the visuals they can improve to justify a next gen release? it already looks really good on Pro, just a tad blurry.
?
Good, since RDR2 had one of the best scripts this gen.
I played quite a bit of the PS4 version but the further I got the more I kept thinking of how incredible this game would look on PC, so I stopped. Looks like I will be able to dive back in which is great.
Incredibly spotty and uneven. Especially around Arthur.
Also some commentary from an actual amazing writer far above what the game industry has to offer https://joeabercrombie.com/red-dead-redemption-2/
Spoilers obv, they're tagged though.
Realistically Speaking, Epic would have to pay Rockstar for the amount of people that bought GTAV on Steam which were in the 10 millions so i really don't think that its gonna be fully R* Launcher exclusive or R* Launcher + EGS. Most probably R* Launcher + Steam. They are always the greedy fucks that go where the majority of the money is. I doubt Epic can pay that big of an amount.
what? Arthur was incredibly written, which is why he is considered one of the greatest protagonists in gaming
Oof, but dropping resolution below XOX levels for RTX would be a tough compromise.
Even if Epic has enough money to pay that amount, they are not that foolish to believe that people will go with EGS while there is another option on RL.
They will most likely have the same deal with Ubisoft. Cutting Steam out to drive sales to their own launcher for maximum share and the EGS sales are just the cherry on top. Their games will sell a fucktons no matter what platform it is sold on, and they know it.
It would be a Future proofing thing, right now you can't really run full rtx and 4k, but if you get a new PC 5 years from now or something like that, maybe you can!
Ubisoft is Ubisoft and Rockstar is Rockstar. Ubisoft's seal of quality doesn't even come close to rockstar game's. Also Rockstar always go where the crowd is and are a lot more greedy than Ubisoft. So i pretty much disagree there. Epic don't have the money to buy out Rockstar.
Also i do not fully believe that people will buy a Rockstar game anywhere. Steam has been a home for AAA games for a decade. There are customers that buy only on steam and on nowhere else. Steam had 10m or more customers for GTAV, i highly doubt there will be the same amount of people buying their games on EGS, they're clearly facing a loss when making it an egs exclusive. Steam rockstar games have also long ass tails.
I can see it going either EGS+RSL or just RSL. It's a game that's big enough that people will find it wherever it is, so going pure exclusive to their own launcher isn't out of the question.
With all that time leaving pc users hanging they better put out a rock fucking solid product, including the previous game.
Probably going to be a Rockstar Launcher exclusive for a few months, maybe even 6 before it hits other launchers.
Only if they drastically change the way the controls work. Free aim now does not work the way free aim in a shooter works.
I am also not seeing this coming out before next gen consoles. Rockstar loves money a lot. They want you to triple dip (PS4/X1-PS5/X2-PC).
Not much interest in the game itself but I might get it just to see how incredible it'll look on my 2080Ti. Which, based on the Xbox One X version, could be pretty mind-blowing.
I had an aneurysm trying to play this game on Xbox One X all thanks to the ridiculous controls and floaty aiming. Can't wait to double-dip on PC, regardless of the store it will release on.
Looking forward to it.
I know this doesn't directly correlate your argument. You are talking about EGS. But as a person trying to buy mostly from Steam, it looks like it would be beneficial for me to buy this from Rockstar Launcher. If you buy GTA V from Steam, it ties to your Steam account and people in your family sharing can't play it. So it's only logical way for me and my brother to play it on same computer with different users.
There may not be many people in my situation but unfortunately, any game which have a additional launcher requirement on Steam is disqualifies Steam's benefits on consumers.

Yeah gimme that steady frametime graph!
It's an entire herd of cashcows.
They just released their own launcher. Why on earth would it be? Literally giving Epic 12% for no reason.
Ehhhehehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're going to find that maybe a bit more controversial than you seem to think. He was initially praised a lot, but a lot of people seriously don't like him. I definitely wasn't impressed by him at all.
No way. Arthur is the one thing that is constantly and pretty much universally praised about RDR 2.
Certainly would be a challenging game to implement heavy RT. (Lots of transparency, volumetrics etc.)
I cannot wait to see what they have done to the game.
The previous game is never going to be ported because R* themselves said the codebase was a dumpster fire.
