This is where it will be interesting to see if Rockstar has learned from games like The Witcher. RDRII could showcase mature tales that not only make for interesting stories but also allow the player to forget they are doing a side-quest, instead getting lost in the game's world. This doesn’t look to be a problem though, with heavy emphasis on the wide range of a cast seen throughout the trailer even if just the tip of the iceberg. Like GTAV, RDRII is giving its audience a living breathing world, that famous — when this is off the world keeps going — mentality.

Red Dead Redemption is currently available for PS3 and Xbox 360 (also playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility), while its sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, has recently been delayed to Spring 2018 , with publisher Take-Two Interactive Software "utterly confident" of the wisdom of the choice . Considering what Cantamessa just revealed, it certainly isn't much of a surpr

Red Dead Online will actually come in November and PS4 owners will get access to the Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit, the Red Chestnut Arabian Horse, the Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter Saddle, and the High Roller Double-Action Revolver.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will release for Reddeadstation.com PS4 and Xbox One on October 26th, 2018. If you have yet to pick up a copy of the game, you can do that right now over on Amazon before it launches later this month.

On the other hand, Cantamessa did not initially realize that everything that John was doing that had a line that for instance said "Hey John," also needed to have a "Hey Jack" version, and this applied for all the open world activities and minigames like Poker. It required everything that John could do to be re-recorded as Jack, while all the dynamic cutscenes that involved minigames and similar activities had to be motion captured once more. This added "a ton of work" close to the end of product

"The nature of our approach and specifically the nature of Rockstar Games' approach is never to be derivative and always to shatter expectations. My belief is that Red Dead Redemption 2 will shatter expectations and that the online experience also will be extraordinary, but unexpec

"we're always worried about the competition and never take anything for granted, never claim success early. We do our best to create phenomenal entertainment and market it effectively, and then we explain what happened. We have enormously high expectations for October with the launch of Red Dead Redemption2. We take the competition seriously and we're really exited about the rele

I will immediately state that I'm not pointing a finger at Rockstar saying they copied another game. In this industry, like any art, learning from others goes a long way. Rockstar has always been able to craft exceptional games -- just look at the most recent years of success with GTAV Online or any of the GTAs. What has Rockstar learned? From the looks of it, that it’s possible to create epic playscapes representative of our real world that will be fun to play in without fantasy or sci-fi. It has gotten a bit tedious that every game that’s willing to put out these massive sandboxes restricts it to stories of fiction, except Rockstar of course. Covering a bit more ground, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed is also helping fill this much-needed role for games.

**Red Dead Redemption ** may only have two entries in its eight year existence, but it is already one of gaming's most iconic franchises. Given the rate at which Rockstar releases games, the world will probably not see a third title for at least a decade, but why dwell on future titles now? The recently released prequel is still fresh on everyone's minds, sparking intense discussion about its story, game play, and characters. Both entries offer a lot to dwell on, and with that comes a plethora of varying opinions and conclusions, many of which are up for debate. The following 20 entries hope to set the record straight on some of these. Obviously, when it comes to opinions, it is disrespectful to flat out call somebody wrong, but personal thoughts still have to be backed up with evide

Red Dead Redemption II’s landscapes seem representative of the feelings pulled up from a game like The Witcher 3 by how one plays in them. The Witcher 3 presented a blend of main storyline with endless possibilities of getting sidetracked in an open world out of curiosity. The opening shot during the credits followed up by the mountain side view says it all. As Breath of the Wild did when it showcased its open world, RDRII is showing these places to say ‘go there!’ Don’t worry RDRII, we will. When people think of the West/Frontier, it’s usually the setting of the first Red Dead Redemption. RDRII is presenting a landscape that will be exciting to explore. North America has a landscape that is gorgeous giving to views that are cause to stop and soak it in. It'll be refreshing to visit something familiar even if alien to the present timeline. Anyone who has hiked into North American wilderness will know this feeling immediately.
