Six years ago, the world of gamers was conquered by quality Red Dead Redemption . An open-world game with original recognizable characters, this is the perfect shooter set in the atmosphere of the timeless classic, the American Wild West . According to experts, this particular toy is the best in order to optimally reveal the world of cowboy shootouts.
Despite the great popularity of the first release, the second did not follow immediately. A teaser for Red Dead Redemption 2 appeared recently on the official Rockstar developer channel. What awaits users in the new version of their favorite game?
The first release, despite all its advantages, was somewhat frustrating that the plot itself lacked consistency and integrity of the game line. Red Dead Redemption was like a crazy shooter, albeit with a luxurious gaming atmosphere. And if six years ago the game seemed really cool, today the plot is somewhat simpler. The players lacked a poignant plot, dialogue, unusual passages and purpose. The regular shooter should stay the same, the new Red Dead Redemption 2 should be more consistent.
Many players complained about the same type of locations in the previous version. Even six years ago, more interesting graphics could have been implemented. Traveling through the open world, the player could not see new interesting locations. There were practically no large settlements on the map, and the surrounding locations were identical. The teaser for Red Dead Redemption 2 does not give a full answer about the second version of the map, but players hope that there will be changes in locations. In addition, the plot allows you to add city flashbacks, interesting passages, or simply add new settlements to the map.
By the way about the map. In the first version of the game, it was impossible to navigate the locations. For example, in order to teleport to the nearest town, you could use a portable fire. But on the other hand, it took a lot of time to prepare for the trip. Many players preferred to simply use the horse to travel to the nearest settlement. Few people like the constant movement of the same type of locations – bright shooters are not loved for that. The developers of Red Dead Redemption 2 will not lose at all from the fact that they will add the ability to teleport to open map locations.
More “crime” is expected in the new version of the game. If in Red Dead Redemption the main character was predominantly a good guy, then in the second version, players expect more spectacular crimes. Dangerous missions are much more interesting for users. John Marston, the protagonist of the first part, was a little boring. Most of the villains of the Wild West looked much more interesting. Now, in Red Dead Redemption 2, John will have a chance to show his bad side … maybe it won’t be old Marston anymore, but more on that later.
Many fans of the series hope to keep their favorite tasks related to card games. It is possible that the developers will bring additional interesting features to them. Despite the fact that now the card games themselves in all their diversity are presented on the Internet , such missions in the game allow you to add the surroundings of the wild west and to feel well exactly the atmosphere that was at the very beginning of the popularity of such games.
The only thing that practically did not cause objections from experts and fans was the musical accompaniment. In 2011, Red Dead Redemption won Best Music Score at the Video Game Awards. At the same award, the first version of the game became a triumphant and became the best novelty in 2011. Players hope that the soundtracks in the second version will be exceptionally high quality in the spirit of the Wild West.
In the second version of Red Dead Redemption 2, it is planned to add a full-fledged online format, following the example of GTA. This claim is supported by the fact that the Red Dead Online domain name has already been registered. The online format will make the game more interesting. Users will be able not only to go through the standard missions of the network mode, but also fight each other in unusual exciting challenges or quests. The success of GTA 5 suggests that online versions of popular games can increase monetization.
If in the first version you were bored of playing with one main character, then the second release will surely please you. In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can select multiple characters. Increasing the number of heroes will help diversify the plot and choose a character with a unique set of skills and characteristics. The poster for the new version of the popular cowboy game suggests that the developers plan to add at least seven new heroes.
But increasing the number of characters is just the beginning. The courageous cowboys of the Wild West may well be joined by a beautiful lady. The developers of Red Dead Redemption 2 seriously thought about giving the main playing role to the courtesan of a local brothel. A daredevil in a woman’s skirt can be the main surprise of the new version. And although this is still just an assumption, it has a high probability of coming true.
Another update to Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite predictable. Now the interface will support virtual reality. VR insights are increasingly appearing in circles discussing the release of a new release. Following the example of GTA 5, we can conclude that factory integration with virtual reality is much better than custom modifications. GTA can only be played on Oculus or HTC Vive after custom tweaks. Hopefully, rumors about VR in Red Dead Redemption 2 will be confirmed. The game will be released later this year and can be played on the latest Sony PlayStation and xBox models with 4K video support.
For Rockstar, five years to develop one game is a perfectly normal time frame. The length of the process hints at the high quality of the new release, the release of which will not be long.
