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

I've ordered it on Xbox One X only because I expect it to run and look a little better than my PS4 Pro, but in truth once immersed in the game will you or I really notice?? I generally switch off to stuff like that after a while if a game is that good. Is there any timed exclusive stuff that might help swing the decision?

Edit: I meant to begin with I've been having the same thoughts/dilemma and that I only ordered it on Xbox One X as I expect it to perform better, but maybe it won't... :eek:

I only ask there was a significant difference with RDR1 on the PS3 and Xbox 360, the 360 version ran much better.

However, I read that RDR2 has been built with the PS4 in mind. Not sure how true that is.
 
It's a multi platform game, I really wouldn't expect any "noticeable" differences for either console.

If you'll be playing online then I suggest you base the purchase off that.
 
First world problems, but not sure what to get this on, Xbox One X or PS4 Pro.

Hopefully the reviews will give some guidance.

I'm in the same predicament as I've "X" and "Pro"
I'd expect Xbox One X to be the better version, but yeah as you say. will wait for the reviews to see what version is better

Xbox x for me, I also find the Pro's fans noisy when they ramp up when it comes to graphically intensive games like this, my X so far is very quite.
 
Apparently the games main campaign is around 60hrs long, add all the side story/hunting/mini games and I guess you could triple that depending on how quick you like to finish games.

The final script for Red Dead Redemption 2’s main story was about 2,000 pages. But if he were to include all the side missions and additional dialogue, and stack the pages, Dan estimates the pile “would be eight feet high.” Bringing the script to life meant 2,200 days of motion-capture work — compared with just five for Grand Theft Auto III — requiring 1,200 actors, all SAG-AFTRA, 700 of them with dialogue
 
When I click on ultimate edition it says "This item will be released on 16 October 2018 at 00:00 GMT"
When I click on other editions it says "This item will be released on October 26, 2018"

Hence my question

Weird! Must be an error or refers to some other content included with the overpriced editions because the game definitely won't launch before the 26th.

Edit: Just seen your Amazon link, that page is rather misleading as I would assume that means the code gets sent out tomorrow so that users can redeem and pre-load it ahead of time. On the Xbox and PS online stores it states the 26th.
 
Yeah there's no version going live tomorrow, the hype would have been off the scale today if so and I'd imagine many here would have bought that version to get access 10 days early.
