Got to say, this is the best looking game ever for me. So many wow moments exploring. Horizon is a close second for me but I think Red Dead just edges it.

When this comes out on the PC, which it no doubt will, it’s going to look incredible.

Or even if they do a next gen reboot like they did with GTA5

You will just need a £2k GPU to run it...... lol

@NightSt@lk3r Perfectly fine here on a standard PS4.

Just found myself a 4 horse stagecoach.. yoink!

I know one of the R* team said this is not going to be made for PC - did they say that for GTA V at the time of its console launch too? I assume they're just lying to get sales on console

I’m constantly distracted in this game or on the run from the law. Really need to do some missions at some point........ lol

The game would lose most of its value if you just railed through the missions, I don’t think I’ll complete the storyline for a while yet.

Are they working on additional content for this over the years like they did with GTA?

I arrived in the first town and have done one mission for the law. I have been playing about 15 hours....... lol

I don't even know if how far in I am yet, as I take my time admiring everything.

I have only just left the snow area (prologue) and now my gang is moving to another area to camp.

Picked it up this lunchtime, probably an hour til I can play.

Played a bit of RD Revolver. Never played Redemption 1, and have avoided any coverage of RDR2 apart from the one trailer, so looking forward to diving into it with no expectations.

By the way... if you get on your horse, set a way point, double tap to gallop, then hold down the touchpad (not sure what button on Xbox), you'll enter cinematic mode and your horse will travel to the destination without you having to touch the controls. Great way of taking in all the sights. :cool:

Just moved onto second camp - the journey there, just wow, such a rich and beautiful world. Hoping to free explore and be able to be setup a base camp to call home in multiplayer

Having a blast and on my 1st gen PS4 it looks and plays well. Done enough of the campaign to unlock a few things so definitely time to explore.

RDCorporation · 27 Oct 2018 at 13:51

I've been using my 27" monitor all this time with Xbox One...now plugged into TV and it's just so much better

MOOGLEYS · 27 Oct 2018 at 13:51

Grab a train and go for a ride around the map. Some of the scenery is truly stunning.....

Thanks, been trying to figure that out, although I may not have the option yet as Im still holding hand early game, need to figure out what button it is on Xbox?

Once I'd taken in the awesome acting, graphics and music I find the gameplay well off par. I failed a mission because my horse knocked my partners horse and he apparently died. This has not got the polished gameplay of the first and I'm very disappointed so far.

Just at the stable outside Strawberry, the customization options for horses is mad!

Currently treated my horse to a Mohawk Mane

Also got a nice new tail lol https://i.imgur.com/HH8gzyJ.jpg

The horse movement and control is annoying, so many times ive crashed into things or people and a fights kicked off. Quite happy to spend my time walking around the lakes hunting and fishing at the minute though!

You lot need to bond with that horse more. Mines handles like a lambo now ;P
