New Red Dead Redemption 2 Screenshots Released

Here's something to hold you over until next year.

42 Comments

Rockstar today delivered the disappointing--if unsurprising--news that Red Dead Redemption 2 won't be out this year as previously announced. Alongside the announcement of a delay until 2018, Rockstar also shared a batch of new screenshots from the game.

There are a total of seven images showcasing a wide variety of environments and characters. One provides a close look at a pair of handguns, while another shows a character on horseback in a gorgeous forest. Yet another shows a character--possibly the same one from the forest--on a horse walking through a town. A number of other people can be seen going about their business, while one building is labeled Doctor (where you can find both tonics and powder).

Now Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 - Announcement Trailer

No Caption Provided

All of the screenshots look quite good; Rockstar noted as part of its delay announcement that this is its first game built from the "ground up for the latest generation of console hardware."

We still don't know much about Red Dead Redemption 2 except that it'll feature a "sprawling, optimistic view of America" and an online component of some sort. To date, it's only been confirmed for PS4 and Xbox One--like the first game, no plans for a PC version have been announced. Certain online content will be available first on PS4.

Wish I could play this first up on PC in 1440p with my new GTX 1080 Ti or even 4K !!! Looks beautiful. But I will buy it for Xbox Scorpio if the console and the game exist at that point. :)

@hwoarang5: Bro... you didn't have to do that. I am a PC gamer first and foremost but I also play on consoles for their exclusives. It's not the fault of PC gamers that they have to do these petitions. Blame the developers and their masters - the publishing corporations for this lousy treatment.

@starjay009: Well, actually i own pc as well as console, just that most pc only gamers are likes the concept of master race this and that yet they cant afford to own multiple platform for these exclusive,so they butt hurt when there is no pc release, and their solution is to bash these exclusive then goes behind write a petition begging for it.. its hilarious..

I'm fine with screenshots (consistently) until they're ready to share more info.

Take your time, Rockstar. Provide us a game that isn't broken or severely flawed on release.

Those revolvers look very detailed. First person mode perhaps?

@barcaazul: I think they're using Scorpio screens for promotion, like they do with PS4 Pro for some PS4 games.

@meedokicky: Well it'll come out on the PS4 as well. In any case, I doubt these are screens taken from consoles, most likely from a PC build/workstation.

@stelios:

Agree, looks damn good either way and hope I don't need an upgrade to play it well. This has been my biggest doubt since they announced the Pro and Scorpio that sooner or later certain games may need more uumph.

@stelios: I know it is coming on PS4 as well, I just suggested they'll use the prettiest version for promotion. And since PC version isn't confirmed yet, I assumed it is from Scorpio. It could very well be PS4 as well, I mean look at Horizon!

@meedokicky: You also assumed Scorpio would be prettier, but that's not proven nor even in existence yet.

@meedokicky: Assuming is a mistake. PS4 is perfectly capable of such graphics. Especially the PRO version. And no I am not a SONY fanboy.

Looks like The Last of Us 2 is going to have some competition next year (assuming it comes out then as well.).

@videogameninja: There isn't really much overlap between the two games except maybe the market who buys the games are the market of people who aren't particularly core gamers but still aren't filthy casuals who play stuff like fifa only.

@Walker5482: More GotY awards is all that ND won. Rockstar ended up with higher reviews with GTA V and 10 times more sales.

So if we're talking about relevancy here, Rockstar's last project won.

@playstationzone: Please be patient. I am sure R* will do a gameplay premier like they did with GTA V. It's not R* to do brash gameplay demos or videos.

@rai_ji: not the PS4 Pro though, since that won't run it at 4K. Perhaps the Scorpio.

@yeah_28: Most probably the Scorpio won't be able to run this at 4k either, without big compromises in visuals and frame rate. This is the kind of game that will see a checkerboard solution in both consoles in my opinion. Maybe the Scorpio will hit that true 4k at a heavy price, which is not worth it in my opinion.

@yeah_28: What a baseless statement !! If that were the case, they why the hell do we need a new console from MS ? The XB1 already renders games at medium/high settings at 900/1080p.

@starjay009: ehh...because of the resolution and frame rate? thats the whole point. There are also other improvements I've heard, like variable refresh rates for instance, but its mainly that.

I don't remember their exact statement, so I can't quote, but I'm confident I'm remembering the conclusions properly, and they make sense too btw: Scorpio runs games at a quality similar to that of XB1, but it runs them at 4x their resolution, some of them even at 60fps, others at 30fps.

@rawkstar007: oh it will look amazing on the Pro I'm sure, I was just pointing out that 4k on it with this game seems unlikely.

I don't know much about it, but I do know it doesn't have hardware anywhere near capable to offer 4K unless its with low settings quality, and I remember seeing the Pro does BF1 and Horizon at about 2k aprox., which is half.

This game is looking really good!, surely it will be among the most taxing ones out there.
