Red Dead Redemption 2 will release for PS4 and Xbox One on October 26th, 2018. If you have yet to pick up a copy of the game, there's still time to pre-order the game on Amazon ahead of its release this fall.

No, I'm not talking about your health bar, and I'm not even talking about your health core. Think a little more long-term. What you eat, how much you eat, and how much exercise you get determines Arthur Morgan 's weight . And that weight can have important game-changing consequences that come with. Being overweight means you'll take less damage, but have less stamina. Being underweight means you'll take more damage, but have more stamina. You have to take the good with the bad, and keep in mind your weight will change dynamically based on what you

God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will be competing in the Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, Best Audio Design, Best Action/Adventure, and the Game of the Year awa

Thankfully, we've seen some hints that Red Dead Redemption 2 will almost certainly bring back some of these minigames, as a recent screenshot highlighted the game's protagonist, Arthur Morgan, and the rest of the Van der Linde gang surrounding a poker table . I had no doubts that we'll see Poker and Blackjack return to a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 , but what I'm equally hoping we see are even more eclectic minigames that truly exemplify the game's Western setting, and that can add deeper dimensions to its world.

Your horse often can’t gallop too fast; your horse will occasionally crash into rocks and trip over, and your horse can be swayed by the course of a river to its doom. It’s real. It’s cool in that regard. But it makes riding an absolute chore at times. One wrong move will result in your horse collapsing and Arthur needing to waste one of his many Horse Revitaliz

When I think back on red dead redemption 2 updates Dead Redemption , there are plenty of scenes and images that immediately come to my mind that capture that game's particular sense of grandeur. There are the obvious action-packed moments, like gunfights against outlaws, heists, and robberies, and the quieter moments that truly let the game's Western setting shine: galloping out into the expanse of the West with the sun blazing in the distance always comes to mind for me when thinking back on Red Dead at its best.

You'll figure out pretty early on that there are certain items you get that it seems like you just can't sell to anybody, which can be a shame, because a lot of these seem to be pretty big-ticket items. So what are they good

By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they'll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead . It's essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.

Kratos might be skilled at fighting gods and monsters, but he will be facing an entirely new kind of opponent at the 2018 Game Awards, as God of War is facing off against Red Dead Redemption 2 in every category that they are nominated

Red Dead Redemption excelled at bringing players into a vast, Western open-world; even eight years after its release, it's still one of my favorite game worlds to this day. Yet, what I also adored about the game is the fact that it proved to be just as exceptional in offering players smaller details to enjoy as much the larger ones, and a big portion of that (to me) comes from its collection of Western minigames.

The biggest rebuttal to the entire argument that I've laid out here is that Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't even direct competitors with one another, which I do agree with. While there is definitely some crossover fans between the two franchises, it's likely that Call of Duty will more directly be competing in the shooter market with EA's newest Battlefield title which we know will be releasing later this year. Despite this difference of genres, Red Dead still is a monster that Activision cannot afford to ignore.

Announced details for the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 , along with extra pre-order bonuses for all three versions and a unique assemblage of real-world collectibles inspired by the g

I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2's release didn't have as big of an effect as I'm pretending it would, it's obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that's why they've pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.
