and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list we’re
taking a look at this highly anticipated
follow-up to the 2010 masterpiece
delving into its story elements and
gameplay mechanics I don’t want to kill
all these just number 10 building
interiors Rockstar set a new standard
for open-world games with the release of
Grand Theft Auto 3 since then the
virtual worlds they’ve created have only
grown more immersive and interactive the
one downside however is that many
buildings solely exist for decoration
purposes when you can’t enter a house or
shop the world feels more restricted and
less inhabitable Red Dead Redemption to
not only permits players to enter most
of the dwellings on display but the
interiors are bursting with rich
attention to detail we are free to roam
through drawers knock on doors and chat
with every NPC sometimes it’s the little
commonplace things that make a game’s
environment all the more involving
number 9 the premise the title may lead
you to believe it’s a sequel but Red
Dead Redemption 2 is actually a prequel
set 12 years prior to its predecessor in
1899 while a younger John Marston does
appear in the game the focus shifts to
Arthur Morgan a loyal ally of Dutch van
der Linde listen to me we don’t want to
kill any of you but trust me we will
when a robbery in Blackwater takes a
turn for the worse the van der Linde
gang is forced to go on the run with a
fleet of authorities and bounty hunters
hot on their trail stepping into
Arthur’s boots the player must not only
get their hands dirty to survive but
also make a difficult choice between
your morality and sense of camaraderie
number 8 the Wardrobe just cuz you’re a
lowlife doesn’t mean you can’t wander
the wilderness and style like various
other Rockstar titles Red Dead
Redemption 2 allows players to change
outfits as they please
if you don’t put that much stock in
fashion you still might enjoy hunting
for rare pieces of clothing and when we
say hunt for clothing we don’t mean like
a Black Friday sale we mean there are
roughly 200 animal species dispersed
throughout the game ranging from
alligators to grizzly bears to bald
eagles the legendary animals are
especially difficult to come across if
you can track one down though you can
loot their body for unique clothing
material number seven the significance
of small talk as we mentioned before
choice plays a major role in Red Dead
Redemption too and this is largely due
to the game’s sophisticated NPCs you can
interact with pretty much every
character you come across and each
exchange comes complete with a menu of
possible responses the way you greet
people may range from honourable to
temperamental possibly even igniting a
brawl either way your behavior will
alter your reputation and sometimes
affect the outcome of a plot point the
players actions haven’t always had
considerable consequences in rockstar
games
so it’s refreshing to see a title where
words alone can determine how others
view you leaving arthur’s journey open
to multiple paths number six the weather
and hunger Rockstar has gone out of
their way to make the world and
characters of Red Dead Redemption to
feel as alive as possible the game’s
atmosphere is constantly altering as the
player encounters rain snow and other
weather conditions Arthur will just have
to change his outfit in order to adapt
to his environment which influences his
stamina as well just as Arthur must be
conscious of the weather he’ll also have
to remain mindful of his appetite
although satisfying Arthur’s hunger is
important overeating will naturally
affect his appearance and stamina like
CJ and grand theft auto san andreas
however Arthur can always slim down by
partaking in physical activities number
five the diverse environments in a
market oversaturated with open-world
games
standing out from the crowd is easier
said than done early footage of Red Dead
Redemption 2 however has entranced
gamers with its beautifully rendered
environments suggesting that Rockstar
has officially outdone themselves
the building interiors are of course
packed to the brim with subtle touches
but there’s also a whole world waiting
to be explored outside of the various
towns as arthur morgan the player will
track through barren deserts lively
forests snowy mountains and slimy swamps
the game reportedly features the biggest
map that rockstar has ever made
guaranteeing we’ll be spending hours
traversing the wilderness be it on foot
or on horseback number 4 gun
although over-the-top violence has
always been a staple of rockstar studios
sometimes it’s hard not to feel bad for
those innocent NPCs who get caught in
the crossfire not every activity in this
game needs to end in bloodshed and
unwanted attention though if you don’t
wish to leave a big mess behind the
player can intimidate somebody by
slightly pressing the d-pad upward to
unleash a warning shot this also comes
in handy while trying to hitch a ride
aboard a stagecoach while the mere sight
of a gun won’t faze every character this
method can oftentimes save the player a
great deal of trouble unless trouble is
what they’re looking for that is number
three weapons and Deadeye Rockstar
hasn’t always strived for practicality
when it comes to gunplay help in Grand
Theft Auto you can casually walk around
with several heavy weapons at once the
action is more grounded here limiting
the player to carrying a pair of
sidearms and a pair of rifles along with
throwing weapons like knives your
weapons remain visible throughout the
game whether you’re lugging them around
or storing them on your horse also be
prepared to clean and fix weapons as
they show signs of wear while more
realistic in some respects the player
can still slow down the action with the
Deadeye mechanic but this time there
will be five levels of targeting number
two multiple camera settings with the
next gen re release of Grand Theft Auto
5 Rockstar added a first-person
perspective to create an even more
engaging experience this innovation will
see a comeback in Red Dead Redemption 2
letting the player perceive this world
from a whole new viewpoint of course if
you don’t want to play the entire game
through Arthur’s eyes you can switch to
a more traditional third-person
perspective at any time these aren’t the
games only camera angles as it also
features a cinematic setting that puts a
stronger emphasis on the vast
atmospheric environments during travel
whichever setting you prefer another
breathtaking site awaits around every
corner number one online multiplayer
while the original Red Dead Redemption
did include an online multiplayer mode
Rockstar is stepping up their game for
the sequel one month following the
game’s initial release in October 2018
the company will launch Red Dead online
as a beta with no additional charge
despite taking a few welcomed cues from
GTA online Red Dead online will be a
radically different experience this
isn’t just due to the settings
technology and time frame but also
because of the game’s overall tone
although Red Dead Redemption 2 is a
single-player game above all else the
developers are aiming to take the best
elements from their previous online
multiplayer ventures and evolve them to
a new frontier this place ain’t no such
thing as civilized do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
