Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now Coming Spring 2018

Rockstar Games: "Red Dead Redemption 2 is now set to launch Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans."

Just proves that gaming season is looking less and less attractive when you factor in low AAA sells this gen thanks to to the holiday rush. I don't buy many games during the holiday like I use to just like pre-ordering is dying down. Sony imo has it figured out that's why they release their major games earlier in the year so they can see those maximum sells.

_-EDMIX-_2528d ago

I mean, not really.

Simply proves that Rockstar wanted more time with Red Dead 2.

I don't think they moved a finished game to spring just for that and are not working on it or something. If anything, Rockstar was going to own the fall with that game. GTA and Read Dead are the type of games you move YOUR game because of, not the other way around.

They likely just need to finish the game.

It could be both, but its more likely it just needed more time. Nothing else this fall is coming out that is NEAR what Red Dead is, they sorta own that genre in the fall time, trust me.

I want to agree since logically that makes sense and Sony track record proves it. BUT. Rockstar is a special case. Not sure how close you follow the devs, but last year they simply changed their Twitter icon from the iconic black and yellow R* to the red and black R*. And Twitter F'n LOST IT. RDR2 was trending before it was announced simply because of a color scheme on a logo. It was even the top story on N4G. A Twitter profile pic. Top story. No announcements. Rockstar is on a level where they don't have competition. Release dates are nothing but a starting point for sales. They generate hype like no other company. There's not a single game any developer could put out that would make Rockstar worried about it affecting their sales. If RDR2 and TLOU2 came out on the same day. Every single person wanting both those games (who have a PS4 anyway) will get those 2 games. If that means selling their old games, saving up months in advance etc.

Your crazy if your suprised by this

Blu3_Berry2529d ago

I'm in no rush. Just make it a damn good game.

Deep-throat2528d ago

Me too bro. But I hope this game will be on PC!

crazychris41242529d ago

Hopefully we get the PC version at the end of the year

0Day2529d ago

Would make sense since their "New Gen of Consoles" argument doesn't apply.

_-EDMIX-_2528d ago

Knowing RockStar's history, its very likely going to be the next year (2019) if it even happens at all.

keki2528d ago

it will probably be ported from console just like GTA V...and it was release to pc a year later..

cartoonx12528d ago

that cause there was a new console gen at the time. so they wanted to do separate release. this time since the game will be same for both ps4/pro and xbox/scorpio.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein7d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long6d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius5d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius5d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk24d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218324d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken24d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker24d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218324d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast24d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog24d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast24d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave24d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
