Red Dead Redemption 2: 7 New Screenshots You Need To See

5. More Environmental Variety

Good on Rockstar for showing an image where Dutch Van der Linde is surrounded by a snowy landscape - it immediately triggers memories of the character's sticky end in the first Red Dead Redemption, where John Marston finished him off amongst the Tall Trees.

It is worth noting that the gang are all moving as one - something we saw back during the game's reveal, and could be a reprise of the "stay in formation" mechanic from GTA IV's DLC, "The Lost and Damned". There's not too much else to pick apart, though we can see the horses being covered up to their knees in snow - something that could impact movement, a la Assassin's Creed III.

Camping and light survival mechanics were present in the first game, after all. Could this be an indication that the weather and your surroundings will have a bigger impact on gameplay?
