Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer: 9 Things Everybody Totally Missed
1. Twin Revolvers Are Now A Thing
This is not a drill people, dual wielding is now a thing.
Is there honestly anything more iconic about the cowboy persona than a hat-clad gunslinger firing off two revolvers at the same time? Maybe, but it would be a hat-clad gunslinger firing off a revolver and winchester on horseback, which, admittedly, is something I also hope makes it into Red Dead, solely because I want a chance to recreate Rooster Cogburn's famous charge in True Grit at some point or another.
Granted, this feature was in the original Red Dead Revolver, but it's a great way of diversifying the firearms on offer in Redemption's more serious take on the Old West. Redemption had a great focus on lever-action rifles when it dropped, too, which was all fine and dandy, but they kind of made pistols feel obsolete over time.
Either way it's been a long requested feature, and one I'm sure many will be all too eager to try out when Redemption 2 drops next year, if not for the satisfaction of roaming around with two revolvers, then for some imagined strategic benefit that they'll bring.

I would usually ask if you're excited, but considering it's Redemption 2, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point. Still, sound off in the comments below, and let us know if we missed anything else from the trailer!
