Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Discovers Impressive Combat Detail After 4 Years

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player entering combat is shocked to discover a detail that many have likely never encountered before. Enemies can shoot bottles out of your hand while you are drinking.

Cool little detail. This game continues to stun me with how much unseen stuff currently still is uncovered in the game, and yet when someone finds something new it’s like🤯

I certainly hope Rockstar goes the extra mile with GTA6, with all THIS attention to detail!

Would any of you like to see GTA adopt the gameplay mechanic from Days Gone, where you can run your vehicle outta gas? Haha, I just thought, how funny would it be if you take someone’s car (toss them out at a gas station not paying attention to the fact that this NPC has just pulled up to a gas station, let’s say civilians actually get out’ve their vehicles and pump their own gas lol) and you drive off, from an intense “on foot” chase by the cops (during random gameplay in the open world) and you think “Piss off, cops🤣🤣🤣 ; only to all of a sudden have your car stop 30 feet from where you were because that NPC never got the chance to get the gas needed... just an idea, maybe it’s awful lol, and a bit too realistic for many (knowing how many don’t like a lot of the realism in RDR2, which they feel restricts the player and makes it less fun) but I’m just throwing an idea out there.

[roadkillers]

Agree’d. Rockstar will most definitely go the extra mile. GTA5 still tops most realistic open worlds that have cars.

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, I can’t imagine the living breathing world that GTA6 will be. If that Matrix Awakens demo is just an example/taste of what’s possible with the PS5/XSX (regardless of that demo running on the Unreal Engine5) I expect Rockstar to blow people with a fully, in development game, with all the intricate pieces showing why Rockstar (he’s hoping haha🤞🏻) is still the KINGS of open world games.

I remember R* saying they toyed with the idea of having fuel for vehicles as early as maybe San Andreas or GTA IV (I can't remember for sure) but they seemed to imply it took away from the fun too much so didn't include it.

[ClayRules2012]

Oh ok. Thanks for sharing that bit of info. I can understand that, because it was annoying to some disagree in Days Gone; I won’t lie, however, it was still something I appreciated and added some intense moments during gameplay that I won’t soon forget.

I mainly want to see improvements in NPC AI. Make them less random, give them something of a routine. I know that's harder in game of this scale vs. something like Skyrim but the power is there to do it now.

Would also like online to be less of a mess and more cohesive. I know GTA Online is the product of a lot of features being slapped in over time but at this point the game is almost imprenetrable for new players.

Also want to see them finally fix the thing that's existed since GTA III where you'll see the same types of cars over and over again until you leave an area. There's no need for it given the load speeds and memory of current gen hardware.

Finally, better gunplay and controls in general.

[ClayRules2012]

Yes, I am with you on improvements to Ai. While the NPC is RDR2 have a daily routine while living in the world, I’d love to see that expanded on a good deal, while also providing a greater variety of unique looking NPCs in the world. And yeah, you’re right, the power is there now to take advance of this and really advance Ai technology in these games to the next level.

I’m with you on the online front, much work needs to be used there to iron somethings out, especially for how new players can jump on/in and have a great experience from the get go (against players who’ve been really playing and doing a lot to get to where they are) and don’t have it be that limited, knowing all the time and years they’ve had to develop the game, while also looking at their success on GTAV’s online (not how much they’ve brought in financially lol) but what worked(s) well and what needs improvement and what needs to go or doesn’t really have much value in the overall online experience.

That issue you want fixed with the cars, I know with UE5 and the Matrix Awakens demo a guy detailed the world, traffic flow, level of detail in the cars from close up to far away, and how it all runs (I think what you described with the same and different cars) was somewhat detailed in one video a guy on YT broke down with that demo. Maybe not exactly, but somewhat similar, I think.

And 💯 on the gunplay and controls overall. I enjoyed it on GTA5 and RDR2 (for most of the gunplay) and while the controls for Arthur weren’t an issue for me when playing it I do see areas that I think are a MUST in terms of change. Like getting rid of the “X” button to run/sprint.

Filling up cars with gas is painful enough, why add that in?

[ClayRules2012]

😂 I agree, it most certainly is. I just thought it could add another level of realism and would be something new, that would require some strategy for the player while doing whatever in the open world.

[fitofficial]

I would've preferred good controls or, you know... fun... but hey. Cool detail!

[isarai]

Yeah, like 1000000% GTAV and RDR2 are without a doubt legendary technical masterpieces that i doubt any game will reach in terms of attention to detail, technology and immersion. But they aren't that fun, RDR2 especially is just clunky and drags on a lot, this coming from someone who absolutely LOVES slower paced story centric games. Hell i love walking sims with a story focus, but RDR2 especially is like 80% just walking/riding to objectives, and both kneecap nearly every attempt of experimentation with their "simulations" to keep things grounded

wrong

Been saying it for years, and have introduced countless Xbox fans what a good 3rd person game actually feels like (With Uncharted and Horizon), Rockstar's gameplay is beyond antiquated and a travesty to games, yet they have the Nintendo effect and can get away with anything... and it sucks too... I love everything else about RDR2... but its literally a massive hassle just to try and play the damn thing, they have freaking auto aim! Its like they self admit the controls are beyond terrible... So fun in multiplayer too, when you have people shooting you from a mile away with auto aim... great game design, I loved it...

[isarai]

It's especially frustrating given they made Max Payne 3, literally one of the best playing 3rd person shooters i've ever played to this day, yet somehow they fail to translate that to other games.

[abstractel]

Man Max Payne 3 is such an underrated game. Wish it had sold more. Still can't wait to see what Remedy does with it now that they have the license again. Control had awesome gunplay.

[kitano1947]

back to your zoomer games

[Deathdeliverer]

I’ve actually known about this pretty early because it’s happened to me.
