Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 Pointless Details That'll Blow You Mind
13. Each Part Of Your Revolver Is Interactive
Rockstar
In what can only be described as the western equivalent of being able to activate and deactivate your lightsaber on a whim, or even being able to retract or open your claws as Wolverine, players in Red Dead will now be given the option to interact fully with their weapons - whether they wish to fan their revolver, spin the cylinder, or throw it around Doc Holliday style.
This will also factor into gameplay, as players have will have to pull back the hammer before they let off a shot. This in turn should slow the pace of gunfights right down, and though it remains to be seen if the same principles will apply to rifles and shotguns, this is still a neat feature for western fans to soak up.
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.
