History has become a steady source of content for the gaming industry. While fantasy driven worlds and far off galaxies still hold a lot of weight in the community, game franchises like Assassin’s Creed , Fallout, and Call of Duty all draw inspiration from or context from our world’s historical events to drive their plots home. From traveling through Ancient Greece and Rome to the horrors of World War II and alternate realities where pop culture stopped evolving but technology didn’t, leading to an all-out atomic war, history is one of the biggest sources for creative inspiration in regards to the video game indus
If you’re riding off the roads, be careful, and be prepared. There are countless, and I mean countless, ways for you and your horse to come a cropper. Whether it’s a high rock that you tumble over, a sharp drop that you don’t stop in time for, or a darn tree, they’ll all do a ton of damage. If your horse suffers enough damage, it will start to shuffle off this mortal coil, and you can either help them out or revive them. To do this, you need a Horse Revive, which can be purchased from a general st

But once you do, strut on up to the mask on the back wall, and pull it down. Arthur’ll be sporting a fancy little cat skull now. Granted, it clips through here and thee, but still a great hidden acces

Have you ever had the intensely annoying experience of taking the time to take a perfect shot on an animal, only to be rewarded with a poor or good pelt? It’s barely mentioned in the game, but not every animal can give you a perfect pelt, no matter how gentle you are with it. To find out the quality of the pelt you’re going to get, equip your binoculars and hit R1/RB to study the animal before taking a shot. One to three pips will appear on next to the animal’s name, with three being the highest qual
Minigames in open-world titles, by most accounts, can serve as bite-sized bits of variety in-between missions or while traveling across the map; good for some mild distraction, but usually not much more. But in the rare occasions, minigames like these can add a surprising amount to the believability and depth of a world beyond just its map size and scale. Given that I put in as much time into The Witcher 3 ‘s Gwent as I did in most other games by themselves, there’s certainly something to be said that when done well, open world minigames can add so much more to a believable game world in their own right. And inside the game’s world drenched in the imagery and themes of the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay Dead Redemption ‘s minigames were definitely some of the best examples of that extra level of detail and immersion.
Given that it’s been eight years since we last rode out West with the Red Dead series, I’m already enticed by what we’ve seen from Red Dead Redemption 2 and what its massive Western open world will have in store. Though we’ve only had a few trailers over the past year or so, there’s already a tantalizing amount of variety that Rockstar has shown in its world that I can’t wait to see more of in the final game, such as hunting, herding, and hopefully much more beyond that. And yet for all that I can expect Red Dead Redemption 2 will deliver a massive open world full of beauty, action, and spectacle, I can’t help but hope that the minigames of Red Dead Redemption will not only make a return, but be expanded upon to really make its sequel’s world that much richer and more detailed.
Even if Red Dead doesn’t have the same sort of brand recognition and widespread appeal as GTA , there’s no denying that gamers are hungry for the open world western. It’s been eight years since Red Dead Redemption released and fans have been begging for another entry in the series for what seems like an eternity at this point. Plus, this will be the first native console game Rockstar has developed this generation so the Rockstar thirst is real. If the week one sales for Red Dead Redemption do even half of what Grand Theft Auto V did when it made over one billion dollars within its first week of release, then it’d still be an absolute beast to have to contend against in any subsequent weeks after launch.
