Red Dead Redemption 2 Previews

I think there will be an option to sprint with L3 like in GTA V for you.
I think I'll stick with mashing X.
Fair enough points.
Gonna get fat, and they'll know me as Arthur "the Pig" Morgan. Chases his victims down while squealing like a pig before strangling them to death.
I wonder if you can also be super skinny as well if you don't eat often.
Game looks boring, I'll pick it up later and instead pick Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Spider-Man
jk about being boring but yeah, not that hyped about it

Rockstar games are made by so many people on such a big budget. Things like writing or mission design likely have nothing to do with the, uh...dynamic shrinkage system.
Truly immersive gameplay would mean getting shot in the leg once prevents you from walking for at least three to six in-game months.
These all sound like ideas Fable-era Molyneux would hype. Bloody hell this game's expensive and detailed.
No joke!
You can also enter every building and open every drawer, cupboard, luggage etc. in the game. You can also pick up and inspect every item in the game like some kind of Western next-gen Shenmue!
Sooo are there any mixed/concerned/negative previews? Just looking for the other side of the coin here.
Reposting myself from earlier.
Also for all of you worried about the physics, comparing it to GTA V, it is important to remember that Euphoria in GTA V was simply dialed down and partially disabled in some files.
When you re-activate these settings in the files you will find that the GTA V version of the Rage engine actually contains more Euphoria options than both IV, Red Dead and MP3.
Here's a short video of my new melee system alpha, with some of the more "exotic" behaviors re-activated.
So knowing how packed GTA V was with Euphoria behavior settings and params, I have NO fear that RDR2 will be even more nuanced and sophisticated.
Yeah but we aren't sure if Rockstar still have the Euphoria license for RDR2. We know they have their proprietary ragdoll system but we're yet to see it in action.
Watching the Easy Allies preview and Jones mentions that he got jumped by a rival gang, killed them and ran away, but the Rockstar dude with him said he could potentially watch the scene from a distance and wait for the sheriff to show up. My question is, what if you jump out and kill the sheriff?
Why do people calling the stats stuff here survival mechanics? Having stats drops because of not sleeping or eating in a while (or having a stat increase from eating) isn't survival mechanics, anymore than eating food in Fallout to get a stat boost is survival mechanics.
Did San Andreas have survival mechanics?
True, but for what is worth, the combination of the change in gait and velocity, when a NPC gets shot in the gameplay trailer, looks a LOT like a some triggered parameterfloats from the <Id>OnBalanceFailed</Id> message in CTaskNmBalance.
Also the ragdolls in GTA V were proprietary Rage ragdolls, they were just equipped with NaturalMotion "nerves and brains" :
<Item type="CTaskNMBehaviour__Tunables">
<Name>CTaskNMBehaviour</Name>
<EnableRagdollPooling value="true" />
<MaxGameplayNmAgents value="3" />
<MaxRageRagdolls value="3" />
<ReserveLocalPlayerNmAgent value="true" />
<EnableRagdollPoolingMp value="true" />
<MaxGameplayNmAgentsMp value="3" />
<MaxRageRagdollsMp value="3" />
<ReserveLocalPlayerNmAgentMp value="true" />

Considering how many impressions have compared the shooting to Max Payne, it sound like RDR's shooting with Max Payne 3 design (ie kill cams, the gun switching, dual wielding, the feel of shooting and bullet impacts, etc)
What exactly were you expecting? Shooting during bullet time dives? Running around dodging bullets without taking cover?
You must have missed the gameplay video that released over a month ago.
Tbh, I just want the control responsiveness and aiming not to suck
That's it, video games have reached their peak, we can all pack up and go home now
I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times in this thread, but what console did they play the preview code on? Xbox One X or PS4 Pro?
Exactly. It's in the feel. Max Payne's aiming wasn't as janky with shitty ass deadzones
Could give a fuck less about bullet time diving and all that extra shit. The feel is the most important.
Nobody ever gets into the details of these things. People just shovel everything under "guns feel good" with vague comparisons to Max Payne or RDR1 with no actual in depth talk about character movement, responsiveness, aiming tightness, intuitive quality of life changes, etc.
Best in the biz
I'm still waiting for the PC version of the first Red Dead.
Buy it now.
Because you are going to die waiting for it.

We already know a second gameplay trailer is coming very soon. And Rockstar has never shown a lot of gameplay footage before release.
lol, GTA V sold gangbusters on PC, so unless Rockstar hate money, it's coming to PC
After all the information we got from these previews, I no longer care when we get the 2nd gameplay trailer. It'll come when it comes. All I wanted was basic Red Dead Online info (which we finally got earlier this week) and a good idea of the core functions of the game (which we got today). I'm good till launch.
