What happened? After the surprising announcement last night, Rockstar Games has released the 2nd gameplay trailer for the western game Red Dead Redemption 2 today.

We show you what the community is particularly excited about.
The highly praised first-person perspective looks really good
What was known? At preview events, selected testers were already able to try out how Red Dead Redemption 2 plays. During this, testers particularly highlighted the first-person perspective. Fans had to initially accept this assessment and rely on the voices of the testers.
This is what happened in the trailer: In the trailer, Rockstar now showed impressions of the first-person view. Players could get an idea of it themselves.
How is the community reacting? This first-person view is particularly well received by viewers. Even if many do not insist on this view for playing, they praise the shown feeling.
- “First person really looks good“, says user TriggerHydrant
- User mitchskaterr agrees but says that he will mostly play in third-person view anyway.
- Also on YouTube, the first-person view is praised.
The transitions between gameplay situations
This is what happened in the trailer: It is said that players discover adventures and events naturally. In the trailer, Rockstar Games showed that many of these events flow seamlessly into each other.
How is the community reacting? These “transitions” are particularly well received by players.
They praise that the feeling is maintained and is not interrupted by sudden cut-scenes or loading screens. In the new gameplay trailer you can see that right at the beginning, around 40 seconds in.
- Reddit user mysticpandapie95 writes “Holy crap, these seamless transitions!” – At the same time, he praises the mountains and the wide view distance.
View distance with many details in the world
This is what happened in the trailer: While players were eager to see new details about missions and gunplay in the trailer, the glimpses into the open world of the game convinced them. Weeks ago, there was already a preview of the impressive locations you fight in Red Dead Redemption 2.
How is the community reacting? The view from the mountain down is appreciated by players. They praise the many details in the distant background. But they also appreciate the snow trails that Arthur pulls through the cool ground in the foreground.
- Reddit user spooky23_dml writes: “Leading the horse at the edge of the mountain was incredible. I swear, I’ll stop there for a while and look into the distance.”
- Other users write that this view reminds them of God of War – but it looks better here.
Bloody details in fights
This is what happened in the trailer: The new trailer showed many bloody scenes with details. In a duel, a bullet flew clearly visible into the opponent’s face. In another scene, Arthur is seen stabbing another man in the chest with a knife, and he then falls lifeless to the ground. Not for the faint of heart.
It will probably get bloody also when hunting wild animals – This is how hunting and fishing work in Red Dead Redemption 2.
How is the community reacting? These brutal scenes are highly praised on Reddit and YouTube.
- User Harlem Jordan writes on YouTube: “Yooo at 2:12 minutes, when Arthur stabs the guy and his blood spreads over his clothes and face. Crazy!”
General mood in the community after the trailer
In social networks, it is clear that the hype continues to grow after this reveal of the 2nd trailer. Players are looking forward to Red Dead Redemption 2 and can hardly wait for the game to be released at the end of October.
No chance for other games? For fans of Red Dead Redemption 2, it is clear that no other game will have a chance in October. They are convinced that even titles like Fallout 76 or Black Ops 4 will be overshadowed by Rockstar’s western.
How about you? Which details do you like best in the new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2? Was there anything you didn’t like at all?
