The long awaited sequel to Red Dead Redemption has been in the works both secretively and not as secretively as Rockstar Games may have thought. For about a year, gamers were guessing that it was either Grand Theft Auto VII or a Red Dead sequel that Rockstar had been working on. Earlier this year Rockstar had finally announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 was coming. At one point the sequel even had a Fall 2017 release. The date has since been pushed back to Spring of 2018 (which isn’t too far away) but Rockstar was at least nice enough to release a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 as soon as Fall hit and here it is!
Here’s what we’ve learned about Red Dead Redemption 2 so far:

It's finally here! The first trailer for Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 has officially debuted and it's pretty spectacular!
It's been 7 long years since Rockstar Games transported us to the lawless, wild west in Red Dead Redemption. Suffice to say, fans have waited long enough for the 3rd game in the Red Dead franchise. While we still may a few months away still, Rockstar gave us our first glimpse into Red Dead Redemption 2 with this trailer.
Red Dead Redemption 2, the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they rob, fight and steal their way across the vast and rugged heart of America in order to survive.
After 7 years, this trailer is like a breath of fresh air. With so much time passing and new tech being developed, it appears that Rockstar was able to create a breathtaking environment for the next Red Dead game.

Rockstar Games is a developer that typically dances to its own tune. You won’t see its name up in lights at E3, for instance, nor will you find many examples of studio announcements leaking ahead of time. Such a method of approach naturally keeps fans locked to the edge of their seats, and social media was sent into uproar earlier this week following the release of two fleeting teasers.
Confirming what many had already assumed to be a sure-thing, the latest update from the Rockstar Games Twitter account reveals that Red Dead Redemption 2 is indeed on the way. It’s been announced for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (no mention of PC at this stage) and will arrive in the fall of 2017 with a “new multiplayer experience.” Curious to see the Western sequel in motion? Don’t fret; we also have word that the first teaser trailer will debut on Thursday,...

Oh, it’s happening.
The Internet went bonkers after Rockstar Games tweeted the iconic red color image with its logo that is associated with its 2010’s Red Dead Redemption video game.
Then later the company tweeted a photo that definitely teased a possible rumored sequel to the best-selling video game.
The open-world western action video game is set in the American Frontier in 1911 that follows John Marston, a former outlaw, who sets his sights in rescuing his family and performs services as a hired gun.
The game was praised for its visuals, third-person game play, voice acting, music and very-engaging storyline. It shipped over 14 million copies and won numerous accolades from several gaming publications.
For now, Rockstar is teasing its fans. By the looks of it, a sequel is imminent.
Check out its teaser image below.

Red Dead Redemption – Rockstar’s critically acclaimed open world Western originally released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – comes to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility service on July 8, and sales of the game have gone absolutely bonkers since the announcement.
Rockstar said yesterday (via VideoGamer) that, “starting on Friday, every Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owner will be able to play the game directly on their Xbox One, regardless of which version of the game they own (Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare and Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition),” thereafter prompting the astronomical increase in sales you can see below on Amazon.
That 6,264% increase in sales you see isn’t a glitch in the system – that’s just how popular John Marston’s adventure in the Old West remains to be, six years after release. If you’re only just now hearing the news and struggling to find a physical copy,...

Warning: This article contains massive spoilers for each of the 5 games discussed.
From lack luster final levels, to stories which fail to provide closure, a good ending can be hard to come by. Fortunately though, over the years, gaming has provided us with some spectacular closing acts which have not only withstood the test of time, but also demonstrate the medium’s capability of delivering truly great story telling.
5) Deus Ex
Ion Storm

Many games gives players choices to make, resulting in different conversations, optional side quests, and sometimes even different endings, but most of the time there is a clear line between the good, bad, and neutral options. Deus Ex, on the other hand, ends with asking the player to decide the fate of the world by selecting one of three options:
– Destroy all networks, communication, and technology, plunging the world into a new dark age.

With Curtain Call, we asked our team what some of their most memorable and satisfactory finales were in the realm of gaming, and these entries are the result. Please note that they may include a bevy of spoilers concerning the endings in question and the plots they pertain to. You’ve been warned!
It’s rare when I see something so thoroughly misinterpreted by just about everyone. Maybe it’s because games don’t cover easily misinterpreted themes that often, or maybe it’s because the way games tackle certain subjects lends to one interpretation, even if the polar opposite was supposed to be read into it.
The latter is what I think happened to Red Dead Redemption. This game explores a number of themes. It’s a story of redemption, it’s a story of change, it’s a story about a clash of ideals, it deconstructs the western outlaw,...

Every player on the planet has been there; firing your way through a new favourite game only to suddenly stumble across something that makes you put the controller down, step back from the screen and just go “Huh?”
For as much as any pre-release trailers and hype would have you believe, games rarely manage to fine-tune every single mechanic and feature, and often miss the mark entirely on one significant aspect of gameplay. As a result, even in good games players can end up running across a half-baked idea that just doesn’t fit in with the rest of what’s on offer.
Often these oversights are a case of dissonance between gameplay and story; for instance, didn’t it always feel a bit weird to be robbing stores as good-guy John Marston in Red Dead Redemption? A character isn’t really being being redeemed by pillaging and murdering everyone they see,...

Spoiler Alert: There's no way around this. We talk about videogame endings in this feature. In particular: Halo 2, Mass Effect 3, Borderlands and, er, 1942. Also, the top 15 countdown below inevitably spoils the ending to each of the games mentioned.
They say it's not the goal that's important, but the journey to get there. This can be applied to many things, from life to sport, and also to gaming. In fact, there are few examples quite as fitting as gaming when it comes to this saying, as the journey is what the game is all about, with the ending a mere reward for all of that gaming you've indulged in. If the journey to get to the end isn't enjoyable, you're likely never going to get...
