Now that the second trailer for Red Dead Redemption II has been burned into everyone’s eyes, taking a step back after the dust settles can help to see the bigger picture. The most prominent thing being the centerpiece of who the main anti-hero is, along with other outlaws from the Van der Linde gang. Even with the trailer showcasing other features such as what looked to be gameplay (not much) and cutscenes, one game popped into mind watching as the visuals went from sweeping vistas to bogged down swamps filled with predators. As each environment kept hitting and having watched the trailer numerous times now, RDRII seems to be mimicking another exceptional game — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

I will immediately state that I'm not pointing a finger at Rockstar saying they copied another game. In this industry, like any art, learning from others goes a long way. Rockstar has always been able to craft exceptional games -- just look at the most recent years of success with GTAV Online or any of the GTAs. What has Rockstar learned? From the looks of it, that it’s possible to create epic playscapes representative of our real world that will be fun to play in without fantasy or sci-fi. It has gotten a bit tedious that every game that’s willing to put out these massive sandboxes restricts it to stories of fiction, except Rockstar of course. Covering a bit more ground, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed is also helping fill this much-needed role for games.

Finally, last but certainly not least is the Undead Nightmare Pack heading to PSN and Xbox Live stores on an undisclosed date and breathing new life into the ghost times and cemeteries in Red Dead Redemption . Playing as one of the new 8 zombie characters in multi-player is a great and funny way to enhance your game-play, but that's not all you can do with the Undead Nightmare Pack . New dynamic events will be added to the game that will likely include a brush with some of the nastiest creatures/humans you've seen in the game thus far. To top it all off get your game on in new adventure content, challenges, and quests. The price point of this pack has been confirmed at $9.99/800 MS Points, so if this is really what you want out of your Red Dead Redemption game you might want to be picky about picking up the other packs and keep a ten spot aside for this
