Red Dead Redemption 2: 12 Screenshots You Need To See
It might have been delayed, but Rockstar's next game looks phenomenal.
If there's one franchise supporting the argument that Rockstar do some of their finest work away from GTA, it's Red Dead. Acquired after Capcom's original Red Dead Revolver had a bit of a troubled development, Rockstar stepped in, helped get the game shipped and then claimed the IP as their own.
What followed was one of the most surprisingly deep, well-written and powerful games of all time - nigh-on the best game of the last generation. Case in point was that ending: The downfall of protagonist John Marston serving as the perfect bookend, letting RDR stand alone like one of the true greats of western cinema.
Then... they announced a numbered sequel, though everything buried in the teaser and images shows it's actually a prequel. Rather than continue with John's son, Jack, we'll be revisiting John and wife Abigail when the pair rode with Dutch's Gang - the outfit you'd eventually betray and take down in Redemption.
Assumedly, Rockstar have some phenomenal plot-driven reason to 'resurrect' and walk back one of gaming's most memorable death scenes, though for now, all we have is a vague 2018 release date and a good handful of screenshots.
Tuck in...
