We Played 2 Hours of Red Dead Redemption 2 – Here’s What Happened
As I trotted across the prairieland of New Hanover on my well-groomed steed, Mahogany Boy (named due to a tragic misread of his breed, the Mahogany Bay), I heard the dull rattle of a freight train. I yanked the reins, hit X a few times to shift gears into a gallop, and streaked toward the tracks, just as the steam locomotive rounded a corner into view. I had an idea.
As I took up a trajectory with the train, I heard a shout over the growing noise - bounty hunters sent to collect me, dead not alive. It was a fair cop: I’d recently threatened a passing wagoner, stolen his cart and rode it off a cliff to see what happens (you die). As the engine streaked past and I swung the camera to get a look at my pursuers, a button prompt appeared in the bottom-right corner of the screen: “Jump on train”.
101 Amazing Little Details in Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 promises an unparalleled level of depth, from its vast, sprawling world, to the people and animals within it, and how it all fits together in a way that is quite unlike any open-world game before it. You're never quite know how each encounter with another character will pan out because each person is different. Similarly, it's filled with moments where you'll ask yourself, "I wonder if I can do that?", and chances are you probably can, no matter how outrageous it is.
Here’s Red Dead Redemption 2 in First-Person
Update: Rockstar Games has released the second official gameplay trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, and it showcases the game's first-person mode.
Check out the trailer below to see the mode in action.
Original story follows.
Rockstar has revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 will follow in GTA V’s footsteps by allowing you to play the entire game from a first-person perspective.
Shown off in our hands-on with the game, first-person mode can be turned on and off at any time (on the PS4, this is done by clicking the trackpad to cycle through the camera modes until you get to first-person), and applies to the entire game, barring cutscenes. The feature will be available at launch.
Red Dead Redemption 2’s Dialogue System Turns It Into a Comedy
Red Dead’s always seemed a little like GTA’s more serious older brother; cut from the same cloth, but less willing to poke fun at its world, or the people in it. Where GTA’s satire is spread thick across everything from the story, to its radio chatter, to individual billboards, comedy in Red Dead Redemption tended to emerge more out of the player’s actions (or those terrifically strange early glitches).
But after going hands-on with Red Dead Redemption 2, one of its least grandstanding additions might become one of its most meaningful, simply because it adds the potential for comedy to almost every meeting you have with an NPC.

Devil May Cry 5 Digital Deluxe Edition Bonuses Detailed
Devil May Cry 5 Digital Deluxe Edition includes a Mega Man-inspired Devil Breaker, among other things.
Devil May Cry 5 got a new trailer at TGS 2018, detailing new weapons for Dante and Nero, the reveal of the mysterious third playable character, V, and Capcom also detailed exclusive in-game items that players can look forward to with the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.
Along with his sword and handguns, Dante is getting a new weapon in the form of the Cavaliere R; a bladed motorcycle that tears up demon faces, limbs, and anything else that's silly enough to step into its path.
Nero's new Devil Breakers were also unveiled, including a Mega Man-inspired Mega Buster, which really deserves its own trailer. And it has one! Check it out below.
