Has it been confirmed that it will be on PC?

Mentioned it in hope!

GTA 5 obviously had a massively successful PC version so it would make logical sense to have RDR2 on PC as well, but taking GTA 5's deployment into consideration it maybe an even later release date for RDR2 on PC.

That is one stunning looking game! Can't wait to get involved, love the era that is in

Also loving how some 'cutscenes' seamlessly roll into gameplay. Feels very alive and connected! Genuinely excited

Hopefully not a QTE in sight too! Looks really promising.

Going to look best on PS4 Pro and we get content first

PS I hate fan boys

Are you trolling? Definite Sony fanboy detected. Standard PS4 will be 900p / Pro 1080p native and maybe some upscaling but don't see that hitting 2160p - maybe 1600p. On Xbox one X its confirmed to be an Enhanced title so 4k with HDR not sure if it will be checkerboard or native - most likely checkerboard but still it is pure fact it will look better on Xbox one X.

Been looking forward to this all year. Loved playing the 1st one. Said to my 13yo nephew this is the only game worth getting this year, he googled it and said nope it’s western and the new Call of duty is better. Kids know nothing.

No disrespect but your nephew was in nursery/playschool and infants school when the last great Cod's came out (Cod4, Waw and Mw2). Everything since has been "ugh" or "meh" at best. He has a lot of catching up to do on what decent Cods are

.

RDR2 is a day one for me.

I need to pre-order this asap.

What console will be a better version Xbox One X or PS4 Pro?

Xbox One X unless you want the timed exclusive DLC which is tied to PS4.

EDIT: All multiplats will be better on Xbox One X /thread

No doubt with the Brexit shenanigans going on and the fact the price of the £ is awful at the moment is a considerable factor in prices.

Best to VPN to Turkey and pay in Lira - prices working out some £20 cheaper in some instances.

Didn't know what annual leave is. Just asking a simple question. The jobs I held didn't have the option of annual leave it wasn't some major/known company etc.

@McBain Right ok looked up annual leave, so to you, thank you.

What?! It's pretty much UK law for companies to provide annual leave... https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights

Anyone getting the special edition? Tempted as I'm sure the map will be useful to refer to rather than going into the menu to look at it etc. And a bank robbery mission sounds fun .

I'll be getting the special edition. Will have to pop in to the Taunton Game shop as I'm away at my partners Holiday Home that week - she is fully aware I'll be playing this

. Have no Internet there so hoping the disc edition plays fine and has no major bugs that require a day 1 patch.

I've also gone with the Special Edition.

I've read this morning that you need a minimum of 105GB available space for the game. Physical copies could come on two discs, no?

https://rockstarintel.com/2018/09/2...dr2-online-content-30-days-before-xbox-users/

IIRC there are 4 layer discs with 128GB of storage on Blu-ray however, I expect the games come compressed on the disc and unpacked on the console. Digital downloaders will crippled if this is a native 100GB+ download.

I was under the impression that PS4's could't read BR discs above 50GB? Textures, models etc. I can imagine being compressed fine, but stuff like audio is what takes up the most space.

Hopefully we'll get some information in the coming weeks.

I have found a link that supports a theory that the PS4 can read 4 layer discs but it's hardly the most credible info.. https://www.quora.com/Does-the-Play...ove-standard-dual-layer-blu-ray-discs-at-50GB

i wasn't going to preorder this but the reason info dump has got me unbelievably hyped for this game. Pretty much every aspect looks stunning and the level of detail that rockstar are seemingly going into is insane. I've preordered digitally for the 2 day head start on the download.

Has it been confirmed when the pre-load is?

If its got a concrete date - I may as well order digitally as I am away the weekend of release to my holiday home and will have no internet bar tethering to my iPhone.

Says the 24th October for me. People in the US are showing the 22nd.

Good stuff - I may stick a preorder in on the xbox store then - assuming the pre-load isn't tied to PS4 only :rolleyes:

Do we know how large the map is in comparison to say GTA 5?

https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/08/17/red-dead-redemption-2-ps4-xbox-rockstar-biggest-map/ take what you will from that. It's not the most credible of sources.

Thanks, I like the idea of you have to travel there by foot or by horse, unlike GTA you could use a chopper! Makes it more interesting - Although I am sure there will be some fast travel mechanic?

I love this detail :-

I am slightly concerned about the bodies rotting away though. Think back to Skyrim days where items and NPC's would be left where they were... memory leaks all over the place... I am hoping there is some clever programming that notes what was left and how old it is but isn't perma rendered there (unlike Skyrim).

Fast travel is by train

Which you can hold up and steal by either boarding killing some civvies or the driver... Brilliant!!

That video felt like it went by in seconds. Definite digital buy for me as I'll be on this a lot. We need to get an ocuk posse going, kill some varmints

I'm gonna not get a wash the entire game, see if the smell will take the end boss down without a shot fired.

Is it worth upgrading to a pro for this or should I play it on base ps4 ? Will it make much of a difference ?

First question should be is, do you have 4K HDR compatible TV? If so, go with the Xbox One X over the Pro as the X should always beat the Pro in multiplats as it is by far the more powerful console.

If 1080p TV - wouldn't bother with the upgrade to either the Pro or the X unless loading times mean anything to you.

Will this be 1440p upscaled to 4k checkerboarding 30fps on ps4pro? I guess neither the ps4 pro or the xb1x will get 60fps right?

No one has mentioned specifics yet - probably under NDA until reviews are allowed out.

I would imagine PS4 Pro will be using dynamic resolution with either 1440/1600 locked on the vertical axis. I would hope the X has 4k checkerboard given that it is supposed to be an X Enhanced title.

Never thought of the Xbox that's a good idea , yeah I've got a Samsung 4k tv

Only thing that would sway your view would be if any of the upcoming PS4 exclusives take your fancy.
