Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Reveal: 6 Ups & 2 Downs

5. Dead Eye Confirmed

The Dead Eye shooting mechanic is one of the first game's most-praised elements, a deliciously satisfying slow-motion mode which allows players to paint countless enemies with targets, and then watch as they're all executed with mind-boggling accuracy.

Shocking few, Dead Eye is now confirmed to make a return for RDR2, with a few gameplay snippets showing protagonist Arthur Morgan unleashing his preternatural gun-slinging skills on several fleets of unsuspecting goons.

While RDR2 will need to pull off something truly stunning to match the awesomeness of John Marston's final Dead Eye attack in the original game, on its own merits the system looks as silky smooth as ever.
