10 Things Red Dead Redemption 2 Must Learn From GTA Online

2. Give Crews A Chance To Interact Against Each Other More Often

Can someone please tell me just what GTA's 'Crew' system was all about?

For me at least, the experience just seemed to offer little else other than a customisable logo and a unique colour scheme. That's it. And bar that, there weren't really any ways of fostering healthy competition between competing organisations, especially when you factor in the general state of imbalance Online had with its weaponry.

Red Dead simply has to do better this time around; if not by levelling the playing field, then by facilitating rivalries directly. Oh, and can we get rid of explosives this time, Rockstar? Well, that and any other features that could potentially make PVP combat a nightmare.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
