10 Ways Rockstar Should Make Red Dead Redemption 2

7. Have Special "Guest" Enforcers Track You Down At Max Wanted Level

Remember how Vice City had a certain "perk" to raising your wanted level, in that Rockstar's own version of Miami Vice would start tracking you down amongst the waves of police? A riff on Crockett and Tubbs from the show, "Vice Squad" was an extra special nod towards 80s pop culture, and gave chases a little something extra to take note of.

Sadly the feature wasn't carried forward (though even GTA III had the black cars of the FBI), but it would be a perfect fit in Red Dead, being Hollywood have provided SCORES of iconic heroes and villains who could get in on the action.

There's the mysterious harmonica-playing guy from Once Upon a Time in the West (who you'd know was on your tail once some disparate notes started echoing across the mountainside), Clint Eastwood's poncho-wearing "Man with No Name" and even Django, be it the original or Unchained version, among many more.

Depending on how serious or slapstick Rockstar are framing the game's tone they might not fit, but for Western cinema aficionados, it'd be perfect.
