    I stand corrected. ^_^ Still should be same area in-game.

     

    @Dup: It wasn't a bad placement but yeah I've been staring at it a lot so I'm getting a bearing on where things should be.

     

    Here's a glimpse at where I think the post card could be. I used your colors for the buildings:

    Notes:

    - City Hall (Gallier Hall) is next to a park in real life (where the Clay statue was moved to)

    - I put in dashed black lines for the streetcars. Good portion is guesswork.

    - Still can't quite place where the bank would be with the previously mentioned building across the street and street cars running by. It could be to the left of the lower Xs in that standalone building. The billiards hall would be just above the second X.

    - I also put in what is likely the French Market on the right. The triangular shape and proximity to the railroad and waterfront seems like an obvious place.

    In between frying my brain trying to line things up, I am doing a little historical New Orleans research of my own (since I like that stuff). I'm not entirely sure the post card is where Dup thinks it is and have been trying to find a better location but the in-game map from the trailer is almost useless to find out where the street cars are. The building footprints are also more basic.

     

    The building in the background of this robbery shot has similar architecture to the H.B. Stevens & Co building (with a bit of the Crescent Billiard Hall next door):

    ^They are the two buildings all the way on the left. The third building is the Robinson theatre previously mentioned. So assuming that is correct, there is a chance the bank is nearby the statue and others.

     

    And on the subject of the statue as a reference point, it wasn't in any special area in real life. It was plopped down in the middle of a wide street. Not even at the end:

    From IGN's preview:

    At one point, I rode up to an old man watching two younger men building the frontage of a house. The old man told me how these were his sons, that he thought teaching them how to build their own home would build characters, and that, sadly, they were awful at it. As if to prove a point, the frame of the house promptly fell on and killed me. Unintentional comedy aside, Rockstar points out that, over time, this house will become more developed, and the old man will have more to say, emphasising how long you’ve spent with Arthur.

    It’s not clear how long will pass in the course of the campaign, or how extensive those changes will be (could we see towns grow to reflect the progress of the 19th Century west?) but it seems that story missions will be what initiates a time jump.

    Not that many people will see this but I think it sums up our thoughts:

    Beta. Not a word we're used to when discussing Rockstar Games. The company was always about delivering a finished product - even at the cost of multiple delays. But for everyone that experienced the launch of GTA Online, it was obvious Rockstar Games was a little too ambitious for their own capability. GTAO took months to become stable and even then it was still a rocky road. Nearly five years on and it still has some bugs but for the most part it works aside from modders sneaking in.

    But for Red Dead Online, Rockstar has conceded that it will take time to get it right and have officially announced it as a beta release in November 2018.

    There isn't much else in the official announcement but Rockstar gave IGN an exclusive Q&A about it. Again, there isn't much. More or less "this will be like GTAO for Red Dead" and "GTAO will continue after RDO". Check it out here and join us in the RDR2 forums!
