Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Concerned Over Multiple Protagonists

With rumors swirling around Rockstar possibly following the GTA V model and including 3 protagonists in Red Dead Redemption 2, RDR2 considers whether the community would actually like that change from previous Red Dead titles.

Fans or armchair entitled developers?

KiwiViper853431d ago

How can someone be a RDR2 fan when it doesn't exist yet?

Rimeskeem3431d ago

I guess they are RDR fans that think that means they are RDR2 fans.

thorstein3431d ago

I am an RDR fan. I will be an RDR2 fan when it comes out. Rockstar has yet to disappoint. Why would they now?

And I am not, in the least, concerned about multiple protagonists. The Magnificent Seven (original) and Seven Samurai are among my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Why would multiple protagonists bother anyone?

And, didn't Rockstar already do a game with multiple protagonists. I seem to remember some title that came out not to long ago: GTA V. Yeah, I think that one did pretty well.

You can't seriously not know they mean fans of the franchise.

Silly Mammo3431d ago

Quick! Let's set up a petition!!

Muzikguy3431d ago

I don't like the idea of multiple protagonists. I would've much preferred GTAV having just one. It makes the game shorter and less engrossing having multiple characters to follow. Yes, it may add more content, but it seems like just filler when jumping back and forth. I'd rather just follow one and go through the highs and lows of one person

ChiefofLoliPolice3431d ago

Disagree 100% . RDR is stronger then GTA storywise and I think RDR2 would make better use of multiple protagonists then GTAV.

ZombieGamerMan3431d ago

GTA V was over 30 hours long, if that's short to you than I thin your barking up the wrong tree

Muzikguy3431d ago (Edited 3431d ago )

The only reason it's "long" is because of the 3 main characters. There could be 10 people and make it over 100 hours doesn't mean I'd like it

@Blade
That could be. I guess we'll find out 😊

KwietStorm_BLM3431d ago

?? GTA V is a pretty damn long game.

Soc53430d ago

That's old fashioned I don't like change talk, John Marston didn't like cars over horses either cause he was stuck in the old way of doing things.

I hope they do have multiple protagonists. I liked how they changed things up in GTAV. I remember when I first played GTAV story it was so refreshing. Kept things from getting stale.

I don't think anyone can honestly say they didn't like it when the camera would go up into the sky and then suddenly it went to Trevor in his underwear riding a scooter into oncoming traffic on the highway. The whole 'swapping' thing was just fun. I can't wait to see what they'll do in a Wild-Western setting. It just makes for funnier and more exciting moments. Plus, they all come together near the end anyway.

BiggerBoss3431d ago

I agree IF , and only IF, all of the characters we play as are like able. I didn't really care for any GTA 5 characters aside from Trevor's ridiculousness.

DashArrivals3431d ago

Trevor was the best lol. I got many fond memories of that man.

neomahi3431d ago

Just let things transpire. Naughty Dogs Neil Druckman said it best: "Just trust us that we're doing right by you". Rockstar have consistently wowed their fanbase and have never let you down, just let them do what they need to. They created the franchise, they have that report with you. They'll do it justice so just sit back, relax, and them do their jobs. ITLL BE FINE.

Trekster_Gamer3431d ago

Fans? This BS article does NOT speak for me!

Herdistt3431d ago

I hate multiple protagonists. I want an epic character like John Marston!

KiwiViper853431d ago

It's funny that you put an exclamation at the end of your sentence... John Marston puts an exclamation at the end of every sentence!!!

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood125d ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher125d ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
