[RDR] Undead Nightmare

[BarnDoor]

I think this deserves it's thread, with it coming out in a few days. The concept of mythical creatures excites me the most. A list of secret achievements was leaked on xbox.com, and the icons clearly seem to indicate that among the creatures are a unicorn, some sort of fierce creature on all fours (many are saying werewolf - I think it might be a chupacabra) and most importantly of all, Bigfoot. It's definitely Bigfoot - the image is clearly based on the infamous 1967 Patterson footage:

Words cannot describe my joy of Bigfoot being in this. As for other creatures, I'm not really bothered now, though a Thunderbird would be great. Also, I see Rockstar recently have put up a feature about the 1969 film 'Valley of the Gwangi', which is about cowboys encountering dinosaurs. People are speculating the new secret location could be some sort of valley opening up at the top of New Austin, with perhaps dinosaurs. Just speculation, but it seems weird that Rockstar would discuss the film. If true, the erection would last for days.

The DLC sounds quality actually, I bought this game & completed it - read mainly brilliant reviews about it, but I couldn't help think it got a bit repetitive? Just me?

The movie feature thing is something they're doing for Halloween by posting sci-fi/horror movies with a wild west theme. They've been doing it all month.

Also, this!

 

[BarnDoor]

Fuck dinosaurs anyway, this is far more important. Now who is getting this so we can hunt down and burn the fat cunt once and for all?

 

[Dragonfly]

I'll be getting this. Looking forward to it.

If you've already completed the game, do you play as Jack? Or, since John's dead, is the whole game based in an afterlife. I'd prefer the former, having to kill your undead father.

 

[Jonno394]

rockstar have said that the game is non-canon, but if it were it'd take place during the homestead missions, so John is still alive and the playable character.

I wonder if bigfoot will be agressive? I cant imagine feeling good about myself when i finally Stumble across him, and with an outsteetched arm with some wild flowers in and in a low groan he mutters 'friend?' before the hunting rifle goes off in his face.

Now if he comes at me slashing and Grabbing then his death will be more deserved. Oh and i hope it isnt a one off creature, so when u kill him thats it, gone!

 

[BarnDoor]

Yeah I hope that as well, though the Jackalope appears several times so hopefully it won't be. I don't think he should be aggressive unless you approach him. A better look at 21 seconds:

I'm downloading this now. Went for the £16 pack with the previous DLC.

I think it's confirmed that the pic people thought was a werewolf is infact what I suspected - a chupacabra.

Rockstar's standalone disc-based collection of Red Dead Redemption DLC, Undead Nightmare, is being wrangled into retail on November 23. It includes the Free Roam online mode, along with the Undead Nightmare, Liars and Cheats, Legends and Killers, and Outlaws to the End DLC.

That include all the same DLC things as you've bought Barn?

 

[BarnDoor]

Looks like it, though Outlaws was free.

First thoughts - they appear to have made new areas navigable either side of the Tall Trees that were closed off in the original game, though I can't find a ford to the one at the north of the map. Also Mexico at first glance looks as though it reaches further south, but I could be wrong on that.
