Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Things Nobody Wants To Admit

1. Red Dead Online Could Dominate Release And Post-Launch

It may shock those who regularly play online, but there are still those players who rarely connect and much prefer a solo adventure. Although GTA 5 managed to scratch both itches initially, the prevailing focus on GTA Online has become noticeable.

If that happens with RDR2, it'll dominate the game's launch.

Up until now, Rockstar has been the kind of studio to develop expansive adventures gamers can get totally lost in. Aforementioned titles like Manhunt, Bully and the core group of GTA games all instantly spring to mind here. That dedication to offline enjoyment is now threatened by a growing need to feed the multiplayer market.

Continue down this path too long and Rockstar will start to be viewed as more of an online specialist than a single-player one. Nobody should want one of gaming's best storytellers to degenerate into Call Of Duty levels, wherein the offline adventure is tacked on and online components become the chief selling point.
