Awesome. Red Dead was one of my favorite games on PS3. Seeing this instantly gets me amped up.
Here's hoping I'll be able to get it when it releases.

October is usually a busy month for me and I would of preferred a release in the first half of 2018. I generally find big open world games too big with all the other new games around. No doubt CoD and Battlefield will release either side of this and October-ish is often when Assassin's Creed games launch too. This October, I bought 4 games and 2 in the first half of November and that's not unusual.
Of course I will still buy this Day 1 but it may mean I don't get 'deep' into this with other 'new' games also vying for my attention.
A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!
Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??
Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...
Hopefully they'll have a decent character creator for the online portion of the game this time. GTA Online's was awful. I just wanna create a cowgirl who doesn't look like a fella.
@KratosMD so I'm not the only one who thought rdr was mediocre. I agree with your points. Also, the world felt empty in a bad way, and because all of this I'm not really hyped for this game, even after watching these trailers.
@JohnnyShoulder nah the trailers don't do it for me either. Just a bunch of heads spouting nonsense and typical Wild West stuff. But RDR was genuinely great, so I'm getting this day one.
Loved RDR back in 2010, but I don't know how well it has aged, as so many great open world games have released since the game's release: Horizon, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Zelda and even Watch Dogs 2.
I've been playing GTAV recently and while I enjoyed my time, as an open world game it's hardly as impressive as Rockstar's games used to be.
All in all I'm cautiously optimistic about this title, but I don't think it's already THE game of the year conrender, some are making it out to be.
As of yet we haven't heard anything that'll make this game special. No reason for this big of a hype if you ask me.
@KratosMD In the first Red Dead Redemption I really enjoyed the quests in which you had to do errands on the farm together with someone or hunt together. I think the first game succeeded in having you feel attached to characters like Bonnie, etc. Eight years later we've seen games that do this a lot better, so I wonder how this game will fare!
@Kidfried I'll always remember that part when Marston helped Bonnie herd the cows back in a thunderstorm. One of those stand out moments in games for me.
I haven't been actively following the marketing or interview for Red Dead Redemption 2, but this new gameplay trailer has absolutely sold me. I have never played RDR1 (so far), so this was never something I was actively looking towards besides keeping it's existence in the back of my mind. I'm not all that big of a fan of open worlds either, and I find myself never really being able to complete games which employ them, which is what happened with GTAV. The Witcher 3 is the only one I can think of I completed. This trailer really makes it seem like they're doing something very special however, and I'm really into it. If the reviews end up being fantastic, it might be a day one purchase for me. The first since.... Mass Effect Andromeda. Looks like it'll be better than that at least.
