10 Things Rockstar Must Do With Red Dead Redemption 2

How do follow up one of the greatest games of all time?

Hop down from your horse, put your ear to the ground and listen. Hear that rapid pounding that's approaching fast? It's not bandits or a cattle stampede, it's waves of Red Dead Redemption fans taking to the streets to celebrate the rumours that we might soon be getting a Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement. Though unconfirmed, multiple outlets are reporting that Rockstar are gearing up to announce another instalment in the franchise at E3 2016. Whether or not these rumours turn out to be true, it does seem pretty inevitable that we'll one day return to Rockstar's version of the wild west. Given how incredible Red Dead Redemption was, you can understand why people would jump on any news that suggests such a day may be sooner rather than later. While Red Dead Redemption was an incredible gaming experience, but like many other great games, it was not a perfect one. As much as fans may be anticipating the return of the things that make the game great, we should be equally excited at the prospect of Rockstar getting a second chance to fix issues that kept the game from being even greater, and build upon the foundations that both Red Dead Revolver and Redemption didn't give us enough of.

10. Add Undead Nightmare Content As Soon As Possible

The only debate among fans regarding Undead Nightmare, is whether it is the best video game DLC ever made, or merely one of the best pieces of video game DLC ever made. Undead Nightmare not only added zombies to the old west, but did so while paying tribute to the presentation and narrative elements that make the B-movie horror genre so beloved. It was an add-on that was focused on injecting a real sense of fun into the world of Red Dead Redemption and in the process, greatly expanded the longevity of the game through its compelling single player and multiplayer content. If Rockstar are smart, they'll make sure that the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 is followed very closely by additional Undead Nightmare content. The DLC pack has become nearly as beloved as Red Dead itself, and the sooner that Rockstar can bring back that sweet, sweet zombie action, the better this sequel will be for it.
