Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 Pointless Details That'll Blow You Mind
3. Layered Clothing Is Back, And You Can Roll Up Your Sleeves
Rockstar
Red Dead Redemption had a number of outfits to use, but player customisation was never really a priority. You had Marston's normal denim jacket to wear, and then a few other outfits to pick up as the story progressed. You couldn't alter individual items of clothing like the previously released GTA IV, and the layering of GTA V wouldn't come until 2013.
Red Dead 2 (obviously) is making an effort to go one step further. Layering from GTA V is back, and though playable characters will be given specific clothing templates based on the weather, players can pick and choose what they want to wear, craft clothing, and even roll up their sleeves or tuck their trousers into their boots, should they wish to.
It's already clear that players will be given the opportunity to build their own character in the upcoming Red Dead Online, so expect customisation to be taken to another step altogether when it releases.
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.
