Red Dead Redemption 2: PlayStation and Rockstar Games Announce Partnership
For the past 20 years, Rockstar have continually redefined the concept of open worlds. From the record breaking Grand Theft Auto series, the Midnight Club racing games, the schoolyard comedy Bully, to the breakout hit Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar has consistently delivered on a level that few have managed to match.
Now, following up Grand Theft Auto V — one of the most successful entertainment properties of all time — Rockstar is set to return with Red Dead Redemption 2, the latest entry in the Red Dead series of games. And there’s no better place to play it than PlayStation.
Hand crafted to take full advantage of PS4, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.
We are pleased to announce that PS4 players get first access to earn select online content in the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2. Check back on PlayStation.Blog for more details soon and for all of the latest information on Red Dead Redemption 2.
In addition, the PS3 classic Red Dead Redemption will be coming to PlayStation Now soon. Relive the epic story of former outlaw John Marston as he hunts down the gang members he once called friends through the harsh and punishing landscape of America’s dying West.

A breakdown of the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer
As with most reveal trailers from Rockstar Games, the first teaser for Red Dead Redemption 2 focuses on tone over gameplay. Considering the developer’s reputation for creating violent open worlds full of cynical troublemakers, the footage is notably absent of a singe gun being fired. So what does this rather serene look tell us about the game?
Here’s an initial breakdown. Let’s continue picking at the footage in the comments.
Wildlife
If there’s one recurring focus of the footage, it’s the abundance of wildlife. Nearly every sequence features animals going about their daily routines. Deer graze, buffalo roam, birds soar threw the sky. There appears to be a persistent ecosystem that happens without the player’s involvement. In one shot, we see a raccoon feast on a smaller critter. In another, vultures ignore a dog as they pick at a carcass.
Wildlife has become increasingly common in Rockstar games, particularly in the rural areas of Grand Theft Auto 5 and the hunting side-quests of the original Red Dead Redemption. But Red Dead Redemption 2’s setting already looks to be even denser with fauna.
Travel
Horseback was the default mode of travel in Red Dead Redemption. That appears to still be the case in Red Dead Redemption 2, though the inclusion of a canoe and a buggy suggest other means of travel. The aerial views hint at a humongous map, making a train the likely method for clearing long distances.
Nature
Without the need to render huge cityscapes like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption 2’s open world is focusing on the majesty of nature, like rich lighting and dense foliage. The land is covered in thick grass and trees, and sunlight peeks through the branches. The shot of a fire in the forest is especially striking, the orange glow of the fire in contrast with the moonlit trees and the stars in the sky.
Homestead
I would like to take a moment to address a comment at the top of the trailer’s YouTube page: “you see the gta trailers that r so cool an then u see that .a short af trailer that shows only the nature.” Worry not, dear YouTube commenter. I suspect nearly everyone in these screens will be killable, because this is, in fact, a modern open-world video game.
But there’s something appealing about the introduction of the towns and homes of Red Dead Redemption 2 as actual towns and homes, and not Westworld-esque murder parlors. Rockstar has a knack (and a budget) for detail work, and it’s exciting to see that put toward authenticity and not the snarky humor of the GTA world.
Multiplayer
Grand Theft Auto Online has been a boon for Rockstar, extending the life of Grand Theft Auto 5 by years. The original Red Dead Redemption already had a top-notch (and surprisingly relaxing) multiplayer mode, but we expect an even greater emphasis on playing with friends online. This one shot of a gang of cowboys galloping across the prairie seems to be a very tiny hint of what that will look like.
The trailer is careful not to reveal too much about story, or even the placement of RDR 2 in the series timeline. Share your findings in the comments below, and let’s discuss!

Yeah the guy to the right of the middle character looks like one John's first gang member we had to kill.
I hope so cuz he was that Dude in the first one
that would be cool to see the whole gang -especially to a story that shows story on Marston and Dutch and Javier

Nevertheless, Grand Theft Auto 5's biggest success has been its multiplayer component, GTA Online. In April, as part of former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies' $150 million lawsuit against Take-Two, it's was revealed that GTA Online has generated "at least" $500 million in revenue from microtransactions.

Wait hold up...first I'll save I still have and own the game..2nd i'll say I've ended the storyline. Now here is my question..are you saying NOW unlike b4 If I play the game NOW there will be a NEW story for me to go further with? OR it will pickup from the part where I ended the game..AND it will be FREE to continue a small part storyline untill the new joint drops?
You said just drop in the disc....as if it will somehow continue from there or some shit
It is backwards compatible now on XBox One. If your saved game is in your cloud it will search for it to continue from where you were at last. Nothing new. Just the old game for now. Major Nelson mentioned it because Sony is letting people rent the game. But the new game is something brand new so new story and everything,
But will there be a Switch version.. since Take2(Rockstar's parent company)is one of Nintendo's partners.. 
I said it in the other thread. There HAS to be a disc drive.But will there be a Switch version.. since Take2(Rockstar's parent company)is one of Nintendo's partners..
