Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer: 9 Things Everybody Totally Missed

4. You No Longer Have To Be Afraid Of Water

Poor old Marston couldn't really handle the water in Red Dead Redemption. Sure, he could hop on a raft and peddle downstream to the Mexican border in one mission, dispatching banditos along the way (in one of the finest gaming sequences put to screen, I might add), but place him downstream without a paddle and the denim-clad bounty hunter would experience, shall we say... difficulties.

Not anymore, however, as it looks as though water is going to factor into Red Dead's ostensible prequel in a big way.

In one shot, we can see what looks to be two Native Americans rowing along a river in a remarkably picturesque location, which would seemingly suggest that the player too will get a chance at working their rowing muscles somewhere along in the game's vast open world. It's a minor improvement, but hey, at least we don't have to worry about getting our feet wet this time around.
