Rockstar bekræfter overfor The Hollywood Reporter, at Red Dead Redemption 2 kun byder på én spilbar hovedperson, Arthur Morgan.

Grand Theft Auto V gav os tre meget forskellige hovedpersoner i den omfattende singleplayer kampagne. Selvom de tre personer åbnede op for forskellige spillestile og bød på meget forskellige personligheder, var det bestemt ikke alle, der var fan af den ide.

Og heldigvis har Rockstar valgt kun at have én enkelt spilbar hovedperson i deres kommende Red Dead Redemption 2. I et interview med The Hollywood rapporter fortæller Josh Bass, art director ved Rockstar San Diego, og Aaron Garbut, director of art ved Rockstar North, at Red Dead Redemption 2 er Arthur Morgans historie.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 you get to see that gang, including Marston, at the peak of their notoriety and at the very moment things begin to fall apart. This story focuses on Arthur Morgan, Dutch’s most trusted enforcer. Adopted into the gang by Dutch when he was a young boy, Arthur considers the gang to be his family — Dutch has given his life some much‐needed purpose, and the gang has served as the one positive and constant in Arthur’s life.

Switching characters made sense and was a lot of fun in Grand Theft Auto V. Sticking with a single character felt more appropriate for the structure and narrative of a Western. Arthur lives with and fights alongside the other members of the Van der Linde gang, and they are a group of fully realized characters with relationships to each other and to Arthur, but this is Arthur’s story and we are placing players firmly in Arthur’s boots as he and the gang deal with a rapidly changing world. We think people will really love the feeling of being in the gang. It isn’t like anything we’ve done before. Josh Bass til Hollywood Reporter.

Det største mål med Red Dead Redemption 2 er indlevelse, fortæller Aaron Garbut. Spillerne skal glemme, at de spiller et spil.

Making the player forget they are playing a game, and instead leaving them with a memory of a place. That’s how I leave this project personally, now we are finishing up, I’ve spent years living in this world every day and I’m going to miss it. But I leave it with memories of a place I’ve lived in. That’s pretty amazing – Aaron Garbut til Hollywood Reporter.

Det er i den grad gode nyheder, hvis man – som mig – fandt det lidt svært at leve sig sådan rigtigt ind i Grand Theft Auto V, hvor der var tre karakterer at forholde sig til. For mig bliver indlevelsen helt sikkert bedre og nemmere, når jeg kun skal identificere mig med Arthur Morgan og hans karakter og karaktertræk.

Red Dead Redemption 2 udkommer den 26. oktober til Xbox One og PlayStation 4. Red Dead Online-betaen skydes igang til november.

  1. Så må man håbe at han er mere interessant end det man har set fra traileren. For indtil nu virker han nogenlunde lige så interessant som Nico Bellic og vindfrikadeller.
