10 Things Red Dead Redemption 2 Must Learn From GTA Online
1. Take Full Advantage Of The Entire Map
If there's anything that Rockstar knows how to do well, it's how to make a truly breathtaking environment. Whether that be the sprawling landscapes of Red Dead: Redemption, or the pulpy backstreets of '40s era Los Angeles in L.A. Noire, these worlds always feel alive. GTA V's was no exception, except for some reason or another we never really got to see all of it.
Outside of LSC was a whole new world of Blaine County, complete with hicks, golf cart driving cultists, and the Sandy Shores desert. It was never really the main focus of attention though, which is a shame, considering it happened to have some of the world's most impressive vistas.
Whatever which way Red Dead 3's world turns out, its online component has to ensure that the action isn't centralised at any one point on its map. No doubt there'll be a rich array of environments to explore across Rockstar's fictionalised slice of 19th Century America, but that means diddly if players don't get the chance to explore it often.
Regardless of however Read Dead's online counterpart turns out, I think it's safe to say we're all more than ready to find out when it's heading our way. (heck, we all know it would've made PSM a heck of a lot better...) In the meantime, I guess we're just going to have to make due with cowboy Adam Sandler terrorising our Netflix accounts.
