Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer 3 Breakdown: 16 Things You Need To See

4. Actual...Gameplay?

There are actually a few assorted shots in the trailer that almost look like they could be gameplay, with the HUD removed and minor camera adjustments made for the sake of a cinematic look.

One sees Morgan attempting to escape from a burning building as it burns down, and another sees the player tackling a foe to the ground, suggesting the game might have more in-depth melee mechanics than previous Rockstar Games (something they've been routinely taken to task for).

In typical Rockstar fashion, it's unlikely we're going to see much in the way of actual, 100%, HUD-inclusive gameplay before the game releases, but this is basically the most convincingly representative footage yet.
