Have any of you played Red Dead Redemption 2?


The team is inspired by it and Skyrim. The only thing I can think of that they would take from it is a more involved crafting system. Which is probably partially why we can now make weapons from enemies horns.

ya…granted I always thought it was the other way around and that RDR2 borrowed a lot of elements from BOTW which released a year and a half earlier

Its both. BOTW was partially inspired by games like Shadow of the Colossus, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 1.

In turn, Red Dead Redemption 2 was partially inspired by BOTW.

Then TOTK got inspired by RDR2. Basically these developers are all playing the same games and feeding ideas off each other. It’s a loop that ideally leads to better sequels.

They need to have played Elden Ring instead of Red Dead tbh..
that feeling when you get to Siofra River has already been done and done well.
And we had no idea that was coming unlike the overworld here. I get the sinking feeling this sequel may be just slightly behind the curve of what's impressive. If it feels like Elden Ring DLC thats fine though. Not much other competition this year.

That interview came out before Elden Ring. I bet after they played Elden Ring they changed or added some shyt which is probably partially why the game got pushed back. Elden Ring is the type a game that would make their competition push their shyt back.

Remember this scene from the first trailer?

FB0Wo0x.png


The owner of that arm is in the leaked artbook and sticking his hand out in the same pose.

The chamber Ganon is in has been compared to other Zonai architecture and has lots of similarities. So we can rule Sheikah magic out as far as what sealed Ganon.

The arm that sealed Ganon, is now possessed by Link and is basically how Link controls Zonai magic.

Is the arm what’s activated the Zonai ruins?

Is the arm giving him flashbacks from thousands of years ago, making him go through its memories Assassin’s Creed style?

So many questions…

Tine to look into buying some cheap NFC Tags for less than $5 again. I need to get ready for these new Amiibo. This way I’ll be ready on launch. I hope this shyt still works.

There are devices that let you store NFC tags now but hard to come by. This gonna be my new project until Tears of the Kingdom comes out.

Here’s one but it’s currently sold out.

Aight I found away to create Amiibo without NFC Tags. You can do it directly from your Android phone with the JoyCon Droid app.

I’m an artist. I cherish art-style over graphics. This game looks like an anime cartoon come to life for me. I love it.

However lets say Zelda was a tv show. I’m watching the show and it’s looking jaggy and washed out as if it was the bootleg cam version. I’m not gonna like that shyt. There’s time when I watched a bootleg, got upset and had to fukk with the TV settings. “Its too bright! Darken it” Now that’s better. This situation is the same thing but with a game.
Art style and direction are more important to me as well
