Now that the second trailer for Red Dead Redemption II has been burned into everyone’s eyes, Reddeadstation.com taking a step back after the dust settles can help to see the bigger picture. The most prominent thing being the centerpiece of who the main anti-hero is, along with other outlaws from the Van der Linde gang. Even with the trailer showcasing other features such as what looked to be gameplay (not much) and cutscenes, one game popped into mind watching as the visuals went from sweeping vistas to bogged down swamps filled with predators. As each environment kept hitting and having watched the trailer numerous times now, RDRII seems to be mimicking another exceptional game — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Fans of _Red Dead Redemption 2 _ have been speculating for a while now about when they will finally receive a next-gen remaster and be able to play their beloved western RPG in 60 FPS. Now, an unexpected update from Rockstar Games to the RDR2 Steam page has players wondering if a remaster is actually right around the cor

Red Dead Redemption II looks to be telling a true Western Americana tale, although that could be completely wrong knowing Rockstar. The trailer is only filled with Rockstar’s famous one-liners mixed with bouts of violence. While that is the very surface level, Rockstar has most-likely crafted a tail as dynamic as the landscapes in RDRII. Again, bringing it back to The Witcher 3. One of the reasons exploring the Northern Kingdoms in the Witcher is fun is because of its diversity encountered throughout the landmass and that’s just one map. More environment means a more fleshed out world; it gives reason to exploration these game worlds are rich in secrets and who knows what secretes RDRII is hiding. RDRII looks to not only be telling its own tale, but the many tales (sidequests) that can be found throughout.

Playing RDR2 in first-person could mean a world of difference for the very world. As mentioned, the west of Red Dead Redemption 2 is massive and seeing some of the vistas that litter every corner of this game are sure to be breathtaking. It’s that feeling of going on a good hike only to come up over whatever ridge and be swept away by what lays just over that horizon line. The world of RDR2 looks to be vastly versatile with mountains, plains, swamps and deserts. Traveling through the world of RDR2 in first-person is sure to be even more breathtaking than having to watch the butt-end of a horse as it poops. Not that there is anything wrong with the level of detail Rockstar is going for, but at least you won’t have to watch your horse do the business. Kidding aside, again, like GTAV when brought to first-person there was something much more tangible present in making ones’ way through the world. Being on the ground level of it all while interacting with all of it feels quite different than traveling through that same world in third-person.

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.

It’s no secret that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be Rockstar’s most ambitious open-world game yet, with a map that is as massive as it is rich with characters, places and things to do. RDR2 is promising a living world and from the previews of said game it looks like RDR2 is going to deliver just that. Immersing ones’ self in the boots of Arthur Morgan (protagonist) would be a missed opportunity for feeling that immersion on an entirely different level. Things look a lot different when their happening through our eyes. While third person offers certain game vantages it can take away from the feeling of actually being whatever character.
