Will Red Dead Redemption 2 Star at this Year’s E3?

The evidence is certainly mounting that Rockstar's other major IP will make a splash at the event says Red Bull Games Australia.

"But wait, we have more. A map leaked a month ago claiming to be the new Red Dead Redemption 2 stomping ground which features an expanded expanse of the North East of the original game’s map featuring Great Planes and the township of Blackwater where you spend a lot of the tail end of the original game. Rockstar has not commented on the map, so there’s no telling if it’s legit, but there is a lot of detail here. It’s also been suggested that the game will be a prequel to the original, likely following the exploits of James Marsden during his outlaw years, focusing more heavily on the lawless side of the West, rather than the turn-of-the-Century foundation of Red Dead Redemption. Interestingly, one of the locations on the leaked map is marked as New Bordeaux, which is actually the fictional town the forthcoming Mafia III is set in. Mafia III is a Take-Two property along with Red Dead Redemption. Oh how the plot thickens."

It will for me , unless some other RPG surprises me. Cyberpunk 2077 has my interest and Sony may have a surprise, but Red Dead at this point would take the cake.

Pintheshadows2891d ago

Rockstar doesn't do E3 though. They like to steal its thunder instead.

andrewsquall2890d ago

Exactly. Every year we see nobodies saying the same thing over and over and yet they never look at the facts and history to make an educated speculation. Rockstar generally announce a new game whenever they feel like it with a massive Debut trailer. It never happens at E3. End of.

SavingPvt_Highon2891d ago

Red Dead will not be at E3 imo.

TheSaint2891d ago

No, but Red Dead 3 might be.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN6h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos4h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger6h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto8h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos8h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long5h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel7h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator6h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H91d 2h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg10h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos9h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola4h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
