Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay: 12 Hands-On Details You Need To Know

7. Max Payne 3 Influence: Stylish Reverse Shots Illustrate Cinematic Kills

Often forgot as part of Rockstar's mighty back catalogue, 2012's Max Payne 3 is not only one of the most meticulously detailed and satisfyingly weighty third-person shooters of all time, but a subtle influence on the more stylish elements of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Taking a beat from that game's portrayal of gun combat, when you take down opponents in RDR2, the camera will cut across to a reverse-shot from behind them, highlighting the impact of your bullets riddling their body.

The jury's out on whether we're getting Max Payne's up-close slow-motion deaths, but I'd wager something will happen if you finish a group of enemies with a well-timed Dead Eye headshot.
