10 Amazing Western Movie Homages In Red Dead Redemption 2
2. Bear Attacks Pay Homage To The Revenant
There are many dangerous animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, and many of them can lead to the player experiencing a rather violent end. Even getting on the wrong end of a horse could have fatal consequences. But the most terrifying and lethal animal players could ever encounter is the mighty bear.
It does not matter whether it's a black bear or a grizzly, if you are unlucky enough to antagonise one of these behemoths on foot they will charge you in an instant, mount you and treat you like an oversized chew toy.
But as brutal as it is to watch, every player who was ever attacked by a bear in the game must have been reminded of the bear attack scene from The Revenant. Leonardo Di Caprio finally won his Oscar for his performance as a frontiersman who survives a bear attack and hunts down his old hunting partner as revenge for killing his son.
From the blood curdling screams of pain, to the immense adrenaline rush of fear and tension, every single bear attack in the game evokes the terrifying moment where Di Caprio fights for his life against a CGI bear.
