Yes it a while after I pre ordered they sent me a link and I had to give my mailing address so when the game releases they will send the map.

That's the treasure map, if you order the special edition physical copy,its worded physical world map. Rockstars site even has a pic,its probably folded in the blu ray case.

Someone mentioned at work if you turn off the mini map and walk up to other characters. They will give you directions! Is this true? Has anyone else herd this? I've been trying to avoid all the spoilers, but this is more like an easter egg.

Yes, I heard about it too.

Someone shot the story down on Twitter yesterday, though, and said the NPC's will always give out directions.

What may have happened is that the person first writing about it probably only started noticing the directions given when he/ she turned off the mini-map.

Yes, back on page 54:

That, or it was mistranslated sine it didn't come from an English source.

Very cool! I'll still be using the mini map for the most part.

I’ve been looking around, but there doesn’t seem to be a consensus. Amazon has a date of the 16th of sending out the code for digital orders, however it remains to be seen when you can actually start the download.

The first thing I'll do once the game allows me to be free, is hop on a horse and explore the entire landscape of the game world, to see all of the sights, terrain variety, animals, towns and even a small city I hear. Can't wait to walk through the streets exploring that in Red Dead Redemption 2.

I really hope they chose another option to run instead of jamming the X button. I think they'll bring it back as kind of an old-school style to game play, even though it's not a good method when both your thumbs are working the analog sticks and somehow we're supposed to rapidly tap the X button to run from danger at the same time. If they added the option to hold down a trigger button to run, that would be welcome as it was in GTAV.

The guy who leaked the trophy list lied about the file size of the game.

Expect 100+GB

[Tristen]

Microsoft store has updated their listing to show the approximate size of the game for XOne, almost 90gb so it’s not too far off from 105

[Mavrick]

Worth mentioning that the file size takes in to account the the overhead you need to install it. If you had 90GB space free and a 90GB install size you would have to delete something to get it to fit. So the 105GB is probably taking that in to account.

I wonder how many different outfits Arthur can unlock for his character. I'll say 20 outfits to find and collect. I like the trenchcoat and cowboy hat style for my character, so I'll look for that later in the game. Would be cool if like in other games (Watch Dogs), you can just go to a general store and buy whatever outfit you can afford to wear.

If RS repeats their gta online trend with RDR2, expect all future guns, horses & clothing to be only playable online.

[Tristen]

When the first trailer debuted two years ago and now we’re 11 days away to finally playing it. It’s getting closer than ever

Oh no, that's not good if it ends up that way. Why can't they allow those things to be accessible offline too?

Finally, I agree.

You never know what’s Rockstar is going to do. They might learn from GTA online and give people who don’t want to play online access to those guns in single player. I’m willing to pay for gun DLC and single player DLC if they are willing to make it.

[Batman90]

Honestly I’ll be ok as long as if Rockstar makes a single player Undesd Nightmare 2 I don’t care what online gets.
