Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4, Xbox and PC Hopefully)

Reading something saying the story (and sides) should take 60-65 hours whereas GTA was 100-105. A bit surprising if it is shorter than GTA. Saying that I don't think I've completed a game in about a decade so that should be more than enough for me.

Pretty certain the main story is 60-65. Including the random encounters, side missions etc. you're talking 100hrs easily.

60hrs for main story is great.
out of interest how many hours do they "claim" for the main story in RDR1 ??

Anyone had their bank account raided for their preorder yet?

Not yet - to be honest I'm prob going to head in to town at lunch time to reserve a copy of the ultimate edition for pickup on Friday.
I'm pretty far north, so the chances of a release day delivery are slim - given Rockstars shipping restrictions

Anyone purchased from MTCGame before? Looks to be £37 for a US code (which is region free isn't it?)

Never heard of them tbh. I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned on here, which isn't a good sign!

From what we've seen so far I think Sony have pumped a lot of money into Rockstar to make sure it runs best on a Pro. Only time will tell and I think I might wait until Black Friday to make my decision.

There is no chance this game is running better on an inferior console.

Site reviews seem okay, but I think you'd need a US Xbox account to redeem it, which I guess would mean you'd need to play on US servers for multiplayer etc.

Even though I only have a 1080p telly, I've gone for the PS4 pro (1tb) bundle with this for £350.

Super excited for this and written the weekend off for it!

I thought digital codes were region free on live though? So once redeemed it shouldn't be any different?

Alternatively SCDKeys have it for £48 (less 8% TCB) but that's described as a "Global" key, which as far as I was aware isn't actually a thing.

OH, lol just clicked continue (in the PayPal screen as I was adding a new card) and it's gone an purchased it. Odd as it clearly stated "You'll have an opportunity to review the order on the next screen".

From the 20s leaked footage I've seen, it looks excellent (graphically) and that was taken on a base PS4. PS4 Pro should look awesome!

Can you not just buy the Xbox point things and buy it that way? You can get £50 for £45 on cdkeys. What's £60 for a 100+ hour game? :confused:

Looking forward to the down sampling, however the pro was to make sure it runs as smooth as it can @1080p
