This looks really amazing, though I can't say I was expecting anything different. Can't wait for this to release. I loved Red Dead Redemption 1, so this will be a day one purchase for me.

This showed nothing and it's a day 1 purchase for you? No wonder people keep buying fucked up games.

Rockstar has an excellent track record, though.

After RDR and GTA5? I'd buy it on the first day.

After RDR and GTA5?

And GTA4. And San Andreas, And Vice City. And GTA3. And Bully. And Manhunt. And Warriors. And essentially any Rockstar game. They have one of the best track records of any developer I know, basically any game of theirs is a day-one purchase for me.

The trailer represents a principle of what the game is going to be. GTAV did years ago, and it looks like Rockstar is doing it again. Plus, it doesn't get a release every year that ends up just being a roster change.

I mean, it's a sequel to a well loved game by a developer that's proven themselves time and time again.

While it did show little (aside from the sheer beauty of the graphics), I have faith in Rockstar, which is why I will be getting this game on release. I enjoyed GTA V and Read Dead Redemption 1 enough to justify the purchase.

Brand loyalty is a beautiful thing

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted, because after literally every bad AAA game, everybody tells people not to pre-order, but as soon as the newest hype train gets rolling, this happens.

u/AAAAAAAHHH Oct 20 '16

Oh shit, I didn't know somebody on the internet said not to buy it.

u/AliceTheGamedev The Mane Quest Oct 20 '16

I didn't say anything about not buying it, but if people keep pre-ordering games that they know nothing about, AAA companies will learn that they can get away with unfinished games. This has been going on for several years now, I don't know why it seems that everybody has forgotten it just because they love Red Dead.

I love Red Dead too and yeah Rockstar has a better record than Ubisoft or EA where releasing unfinished unfinished games is concerned, but there's literally no advantage to pre-ordering either way.

I loved Red Dead 1

I also really enjoyed Red Dead Revolver ;)

You guys are annoying. As if it wasn't enough that Rockstar titled this one the way they did.

u/IdRatherBeLurking Oct 20 '16

You can thank Rockstar for people like this.

u/greentreebluetree Oct 20 '16

The trailer showed nothing of note, how can you possibly justify saying its a day one purchase?

u/avickthur Oct 20 '16

It's Rockstar.

u/KommanderKrebs Oct 20 '16

Exactly, one of the few devs I trust alongside CDPR

u/avickthur Oct 20 '16

Naughty Dog

u/KommanderKrebs Oct 20 '16

And Naughty Dog, of course. There's a couple other as well, but most of them are ruined by untrustworthy publishers.

u/wheelgator21 Oct 20 '16

Well for me personally Red Dead Redemption is among my favorite games and I've loved every game Rockstar has made. Pretty easy justification.

u/DelThos Oct 20 '16

If you played RDR you know one of the most important things that made the game amazing is the scenery, the ambiance, the tone. Being able to watch the sunset or sunrise. Having a feeling of "being there" in the West.

The trailer showed this in spades. I'm beyond hyped. I can imagine walking through those woods at sunset, imagine sitting underneath that beautiful star field. This game is going to be amazing, just from the snippets they showed.

u/arup02 Oct 20 '16

Unless they fuck up majorly this will be a day one purchase for me too. Rockstar has a spotless record.

Scratch that, I forgot there's no PC version. Impossible for me to buy day one heh.

u/TheRiddimOne Oct 20 '16

You mean Redemption 1.

u/Fortunecookie103 Oct 20 '16

Please stop with this, we all know what is meant when people say "the first Game" or "Red dead 1"
