Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 Pointless Details That'll Blow You Mind
12. Horse Shrinkage (And Customisation)
Rockstar
Horses are synonymous with the Old West, and though emphasis was never really placed on your stallion in the last Red Dead, Rockstar are looking to change that this time around.
Now, players will be able to customise their horse from top to bottom. There are dozens of breeds to tame, and with saddles, bags, horseshoes and more all to apply at your choosing, it appears as though Rockstar are making a genuine effort to foster a relationship between the player and their steed.
Slightly more pointless, perhaps, is the attention being paid to horse testicles. In Redemption 2, your horse's gonads will shrink or expand depending on the weather. Detail, everyone.
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.
