How Red Dead Redemption 2's character customisation sets up an emotional gut-punch

This feature contains major story spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2, pertaining to the end of Chapter 6.

Well to be honest old snake was the 1st to do this but rockstar still did fantastic job.

ArchangelMike2412d ago (Edited 2412d ago )

Well not Really. Not even close to be honest.

You couldn't customise and interact with Snake in the same RPG manner as you could customise Arthur. Old Snake didn't have hair that grew, you couldn't shave his beard, or feed him so that he would gain weight; or vice-verse. More importantly, without spoiling things, the way both games ended were very different emotionally.

Brilliant article, and so true of Red Dead 2. I can't remember the last time the end of a game had such an emotional impact on me, not just because of Chapter 6, but also the emotional and nostalgia inducing epilogue. The way you connect with Arthur Morgan all through the game; I was the same, making sue that he camped regularly between long trecks, making sure he was fed and slept, and also that he kept the gang camp afloat. But by the time chapter 5 began to come to a close, there was this rising sense of dread and sadness at was was coming. It was all so brilliantly executed and very well paced to deliver that final sunset moment.

*sniff*

Damn, I was hoping for an updated patch. Well let’s see if the rumors are still true, that it’s coming to Switch 2. There’s still hope……I hope

Yea, this gathering actually sounds like a good time to reveal a remaster PS5/XBox + Switch 2 release. It could be both!

Man, I moved from the Tampa area a bit over 10 years ago, would have loved to be there for this regardless. Even if it's just a gathering of the actors. But this Fall/Holiday season does sound like a good time for a remaster.

MajorLazer1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Remaster? It just needs a 4K60 patch, no need to remaster anything. Gta 4 needs a remaster.

Everyone just hold up a minute! 🤔 This could still be possible. Perhaps this cast member was told to hush and draw attention away from a big reveal

He was probably told to stfu

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX6d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX5d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee6d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard6d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

*Remaster
not Remake
People still confuse the terms in 2025.

CrimsonWing6914d ago

It kills me that at this point they still can’t. Like when people complain that The Last of Us has too many Remasters… when they literally have 1 and then a PS5 Remake 🤦‍♂️

Lionsguard14d ago

Sure, in 15 years maybe. I'm playing it right now and it looks better than most games today.

mkis00714d ago

I think it's not too much to ask for a current gen native version, like we got for gta 5

Lionsguard14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

That's not really a remaster or a remake, it's a patch at most.
