Tag: Red Dead Redemption 2

If the recent reports turn to be true, the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 will become the first ever multi-disc title released for PS4, and possibly also for Xbox One.

The RDR 2’s case is much thicker than the standard one

In their recent post, GameStop published the promotional material for the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2, encouraging players to pre-order the title as soon as possible. On the picture, which shows the game’s case also from its side, it is not hard to see that the RDR 2’s box appears to be much thicker compared to the typical PS4 case, clearly hinting that more than one disk could be found inside of it.

The biggest game ever released for PS4

According to another picture released few days ago, which features a back of the game’s case, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be the biggest in size title ever released for any PlayStation console. Its size is said to be 105 GB on the PS4, so it is rather unlikely that one disc will be enough to store such amount of data. When it comes to Blu-ray discs, they are available in two capacities, 25GB and 50GB, therefore more discs will be needed for the Red Dead Redemption 2. Although BDXL discs can be used to store files over 100GB in size, they are not supported by PS4 and PS4 Pro.

The release date of the game

The upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 is expected to be the biggest game ever released for consoles, so numerous fans cannot wait to have their first taste of it. The title will be officially released on October 26th of this year, becoming available not only for PS4, but also for Xbox One.

Rockstar has finally decided to unveil its new Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay trailer in which we discover a little more about the game’s features.

New Red Deam Redemption 2 gameplay trailer released by Rockstar

“Watch our second Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay video to learn more about the more or less suspicious activities that Arthur and the Van der Linde gang can engage in, including train robberies, encounters with rival outlaw gangs, intense clashes with authorities and much more in this rich and threatening world. Today’s video also includes an overview of the new Cold Blood system and was entirely made from images captured from the game,” said Rockstar.

The new gameplay trailer reveals some cinematics from the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as the in-game atmosphere, set in an open-world environment in the Wild West.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the third title of the series, but it is, in fact, a prequel to the first Red Dead Redemption installment. Set in 1899, the upcoming game follows the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of the Dutch Van der Linde gang.

Now, the recently-released gameplay trailer is the second one, and we should expect several other to come out before Red Dead Redemption 2 release date.

Red Dead Redemption 2 release date

Red Dead Redemption 2 would be a long-awaited video game available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is developed by Rockstar Studios using the RAGE engine and will be published by Rockstar Games.

Anyway, that game trailer from above might not be the last video of the game we’ll get since there are still a few more weeks of waiting before the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game, developed y Rockstar, will hit the shelves on October 26th, 2018.

We look forward to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 which promises to be an excellent adventure game.

The second title of the Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption classic western video game series, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel set 12 years before the events in the original release. Set in an open-world environment in the American wilderness, Red Dead Redemption 2 will follow the story of Dutch Van der Linde and his gang which has a young John Marston as one of its members.

Surprisingly, even though the game is just around the corner, it was not a part of the E3 2018, but, still, Rockstar released several trailers, new gameplay details, that besides the rumors that emerged on the Internet lately.

Red Dead Redemption 2 release date

Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on October 26th, 2018, for PS4 and Xbox One. For collectors, Rockstar will also release a premium package known as the Special Edition, priced at $80, and comes with a copy of the game with some extra special missions, new weapons, and a physical map of the game’s world for gamers to own.

Also, there will be an Ultimate Edition and a Collector’s Box, both priced at $100. The Ultimate Edition contains all the items found in the Special Edition, plus additional DLC items. On the other hand, the Collector’s Box doesn’t provide any digital items but will come out with a unique playing cards deck, artwork, a bandit’s bandana, a physical map of the game world, and a collector’s coin.

Red Dead Redemption 2 – Gameplay

Set in the America of 1899, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a classic western shooter set 12 years before the events in the first title of the franchise. Rockstar revealed the first detailed gameplay trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 on August 9th when we could see that the core mechanics from the first title were still in place, but everything else was revamped.

Accordingly, wildlife is now smarter living within its ecosystem, and the character can interact with other people more naturally, something that was impossible in the first title of the game.

Although Rockstar did not share any detail on the multiplayer gameplay, the first Red Dead Redemption came out with an online free-for-all mode, along with a team deathmatch style gameplay in the open world, so some rumors say the follow-up game, Red Dead Redemption 2, would contain all of those plus a new Battle Royale game mode.

The employees of a major retailer, GameStop, were given a presentation of the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2. It was during the latest GME 2018 (ended on August 30th) when the GameStop employees got the chance to watch a 20-minute presentation of Red Dead Redemption 2, the next second title of the franchise owned by Rockstar Games.

Following this presentation, the employees shared their opinions on Reddit and the least we can say is that they are not happy with the title.

The 20-minute Red Dead Redemption 2 presentation deemed as bored

“Nice game, but most of the time, we saw a riding simulator. Very difficult to stay awake. The shooting scenes looked decent, but the bank robbery was slow. The game will be great and will sell like crazy, but this demo was very boring. Don’t get me wrong, I still think the game will be fantastic, just that the presentation was a bit boring to watch,” said one of those who watched the 20-minute Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer.

Others went even further by renaming the Rockstar’s game as Equestrian Simulator 2k19 and stated that the demo was painful to watch and boring.

While these words are cause for concern, other opinions on the Red Dead Redemption 2 demo reassure us a little

“To put things into context, everyone was exhausted from the past week, and that was the last thing they showed us,” another participant explained. “I dozed off for a minute, but the game is beautiful. The world looks so meticulously built, and the demo was a flawless example of the gameplay mechanics, the open world and the physics that the game can offer. I didn’t play the first episode and didn’t feel any excitement when I announced this sequel, but I left the presentation wanting to play it,” he added.

One thing is certain, the buzz surrounding the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 is far from finished, and new previews and presentations are expected in the forthcoming days.
