Future

edit

In October 2018, Dan Houser said that Rockstar might develop a future entry in the series depending on the success ofRed Dead Redemption 2.[22]

Common elements

edit

Gameplay

edit

In each game in the franchise, the player takes the role of an outlaw in the waning years of the American Old West. All three titles are third-person (althoughRed Dead Redemption 2also gives the option to play in first-person), yet there are crucial differences between them. The first game in the series follows a linear storyline with fixed, limited locations.Red Dead Redemption,however, provides the player with anopen worldsetting and gives them various options for exploration, random encounters and side-missions.Red Dead Redemption 2is the biggest and most immersive of the three, providing far more options and activities for the player than in its previous titles. Combat and gunplay are a fundamental part in the franchise; players can cover, blind-fire, free-aim and can get into physical altercations with enemies. A large number of weapons are introduced in all three games, typically rifles and revolvers. Horses, stagecoaches and trains are the primary methods of transportation in all three games due to the period in which they are set.

Dead Eye

edit

The trademark game mechanic of the series is the Dead Eye system, which bridges the gap between the protagonist's exceptional shooting prowess and the limitations of the human player's speed and coordination. For a short period, it allows the player to aim at targets in slow motion for better accuracy. After painting their targets, time goes back to normal as the player then attacks with a flurry of bullets in rapid succession. The Dead Eye system inRed Dead RedemptionandRed Dead Redemption 2has been refined, as it levels up as the game progresses, giving the player more options when using it.[23]

Honor

edit

Red Dead Redemptionbrings a new mechanic to the franchise that has been improved inRed Dead Redemption 2:a morality system where the player gains positive or negative "honor". Good deeds like saving townsfolk from danger will level up the player's honor, while malicious actions like harming innocents or committing theft will lower the player's honor. The player should be considerate of the honor system, as it can influence how the world interacts with the character.[24]

Setting

edit

All games in the series take place during the days of the Wild West.Red Dead Revolvertakes place at an unidentified point in time during the 1880s, whileRedemptionis set primarily in 1911 (with the epilogue taking place in 1914), andRedemption 2is set in 1899 (with the epilogue set in 1907). WhileRevolver's aesthetics and atmosphere are reminiscent of the films set during the Wild West, the other two games depict the final two decades of this time period, as new factories, machines, motor vehicles, and modern technology appear all throughout the United States, marking the modernization of society. InRedemptionandRedemption 2,the map undergoes several changes between the two different time periods, such as new houses being built, and NPCs sporting new looks.

Red Dead Revolver's setting is quite transient, as Red moves from town to town throughout the game. The most prominent location is the town of Brimstone, which acts as a hub between several missions. The game takes place in the United States, in an unidentified region of mostly desert, although some levels also feature a forest or mountain setting.

Red Dead Redemptionoffers the player a more significant interaction with the environment, and its location is bigger than in the previous game. It ranges from canyons to deserts, but the player is unable to reach to the outer limit due to the borders surrounding the area (mountains and deep ravines). There are several towns and settlements that the player can visit, each with their own citizens (with whom the player can interact). The map spans two fictional U.S. states, New Austin (which is mostly desert) and West Elizabeth (which features lush forests and a mountain area), as well as the Mexican state of Nuevo Paraiso (which is also mainly a desert area).

Red Dead Redemption 2’s world is greatly expanded compared to its predecessor's, and is far more immersive, lifelike and responsive. Both New Austin and West Elizabeth fromRed Dead Redemptionmake a return, although they have been expanded with new regions and towns, while three new states have been added: Ambarino (which is mostly a mountain wilderness), New Hanover (a wide valley that incorporates multiple small settlements, including the town of Valentine), and Lemoyne (composed ofbayousand plantations, and the location of the small town of Rhodes and the large industrial city of Saint Denis).[25]
