10 Upcoming Video Games That Prove Single Player Is Far From Dead
1. Red Dead Redemption 2
It's rare to see a game reach near every demographic in the medium without so much as a single gameplay trailer. It's a feat only one studio could get away with, and that studio is Rockstar Games. Dropping three mind-blowing story trailers, the world is ablaze with hype for the companies next Western extravaganza, and with the game hitting shelves in October, the wait is almost over.
What we've heard from those who've seen the sequel in action is that it's easily worth the wait. Citing the game's drive towards a dynamic open world, journalists have discussed villagers having realistic lives with rigid schedules, horses bonding with players over time and the protagonist's appearance or reputation affecting how NPC's react towards them.
In short, the sequel is looking to double down on the immersive cowboy experience, making sure your adventure through the west is completely unique and dictated by how you play. If these details are to be believed, then it seems Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to conquer the world when it releases later this year, a fact that clearly implies player 1 is just settling in for an explosive comeback.
Plus, if your hat gets shot off, IT STAYS WHERE IT GOT SHOT OFF UNTIL YOU GO GET IT. Rockstar, you've done it again!
