Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Song Ren is exploring Saint Denis in Red Dead Redemption.

This is already his second week, because in the previous week, he failed to do the side quests well.

For Song Ren, who had already cleared the level once, now he just wants to take a good look around this western world.

There is no option to continue exploring the unknown Westworld as John Marston, the character who inherited all the items, after the end of the first episode.

Mainly because compared to John Marston's words, Arthur Morgan brought Song Ren a little stronger emotion.

After all, he controlled Arthur, the man, and spent dozens of hours in the game.

From the sharpshooter Arthur at the beginning, he was infected with tuberculosis at the back and started his own road of redemption.

It can be said that Arthur's story is really too emotional for players.

In fact, it's not just Song Ren, many players will reopen a new archive after clearing the story, leaving the time progress before going to Saint Denis forever.

The story that remains before Sean's death.

Everyone in the gang is still so harmonious, and Arthur is still alive and well.

Explore the entire Westworld at this point in time.

Above the market in Valentine, the merchants selling skin and meat are shouting.

The builders next to it are building the unfinished building.

The old soldier on Valentine still wanted to hug everyone who passed by, and the whole western world came to life.

Of course not all places are so beautiful.

For example, if the player uses John, they can also find a place called Armadillo Town.

The entire "Red Dead Redemption" map is quite large, and there are some areas that are not covered by the main line.

Therefore, there are some areas that players need to actively discover, and Armadillo Town is one of them.

This is a small town infected with cholera. It is located in a desert. The air is filled with yellow sand and the whole town is dead silent.

Burning corpses can be seen everywhere, as well as the raging Howling Wolf Gang, and of course the incomparably desolate desert.

At the same time, only John Marston can trigger and enter here.

There are many players on the forum discussing some of the content that has not yet been discovered in "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", as well as some pits left by Chen Xu.

'Have you discovered that armadillo town? It seems to be very meaningful, and there are no tasks in it. Maybe there will be new content in the sequel? ’

'It's not impossible! Did you find it? In fact, there is Mexican land in the game, but there is an air wall. I don't know if it is a texture or a terrain that can actually be stepped on! ’

‘Yeah, I also found a map that wasn’t in the plot, Tumbleweed Town. ’

'Is it true? Having said that, it feels like a sequel or DLC content is not impossible! You must know that the Mexican Revolution is closely related to the end of the Western era. ’

‘You’re thinking too much too, and I’m skeptical anyway. ’

'Why do you doubt? I think there will be some in the future. Armadillo Town has Mexico that has not yet been opened. After the end, Agent Ross found the farm of John's family. This feels appropriate to pave the way for the follow-up story! ’

‘Actually, to be honest, I don’t want a DLC or a sequel, because I have a hunch that if there is a sequel, we’re going to have to eat knives again. What’s the subtitle of the game called? Redemption! Arthur finally ushered in redemption with his own death. If there is a follow-up DLC story, it is likely to be John Marston. What method should John use to redeem? ’

'Fuck, when you said that, I was a little panicked. ’

Countless players online are engaged in an eager discussion.

After experiencing "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", they are also very concerned about whether this game has a sequel.

In the game, Chen Xu has indeed buried a lot of pits, including the easter eggs and hints left in his previous life.

Agent Ross, for example, found Micah's body and found John's farm years later.

Dutch who left on the snowy mountains, Javier who returned to Mexico, and Bill who disappeared.

The whereabouts of these Van der Linde gang members who stood next to Dutch are unknown.

And Sadie, Marybeth, Charles, and Pearson have all revealed their future lives in the story.

It can be said that the combination of John Marston's story is the real "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" story.

It is also a complete end to the Western story.

If the West in Arthur's time has gone to loneliness, then the Western world in John's time is a complete decline.

Regarding these contents, Chen Xu is also preparing to bring it to players in the follow-up DLC.

Of course, there is no hurry, after all, the game has not been released for a long time.

Including the multiplayer online mode of the game, it has not been officially launched.

With the advancement of time, the popularity of "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is also continuing to heat up.

In particular, major media at home and abroad have given full marks one by one after the game was launched.

Of course, there are also some media who scored 9.5 points or 9.7 points.

But none of the media gave a score below 9.5.

'The most perfect Westworld: In terms of scale, "Red Dead Redemption" has created a huge and vivid Westworld, a combination of old times and new times, which makes people linger. ’

'There may not have been any outstanding western-themed games before, but after Chen Xu launched this shocking western-world game, it can be said that this theme has been raised to an incredible height. Perhaps this is only the first step, but it has become an indispensable representative. ’

"The feeling of "Red Dead Redemption" to players is extremely shocking. Like the original "Minecraft", it also defines a new type of "open world", which I was curious about before. ’

‘But after playing, I understood what an open world is, and this game even made me think that this western world really exists, and that a group of people like Arthur Morgan really live in this world. ’

'Especially the performance of the characters and the wonderful script made me feel like I was watching a wonderful movie. There is no doubt that if you are interested in western themes, then "Red Dead Redemption" is definitely a game you can't miss. ’

The evaluations given by several other authoritative game evaluation media are similar to this.

Completely blowing "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" into the sky.

But for players who have actually played "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" and sunk in, they are not surprised to see these scores.

Instead, I thought it was a matter of course.

Red Dead Redemption is a game that deserves such a review.
