This video is sponsored by surfshark vpn. After Rockstar had struck gold with their
GTA games, they decided to use the gameplay and storytelling formula they had perfected
in another setting. Going for an old school western approach this game charmed its way
into massive success and became an instant classic. This is the Red Dead Redemption Ice
Berg Red Dead Revolver sequel Take-Two Interactive,
the parent company of Rockstar Games, announced in November 2002 that it had bought Angel
Studios, which was renamed Rockstar San Diego and relocated to the Rockstar Games label.
Thus owning the IP of Red Dead. In 2005, at a Sony news conference, Rockstar teased a
sequel. Red Dead Redemption, the sequel to Red Dead Revolver, was released in 2009 for
the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was finally published on May 18, 2010, in North America,
and May 21, 2010 in Europe and Australia, to critical praise, with many reviewers complimenting
the game's playability and technical advancements over its predecessor. While Red Dead Redemption
is a spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver, Rockstar has gone on to state that two are
not canon to each other. Familiar faces Red Harlow, the protagonist
of Red Dead Revolver (2004), has several parallels with John Marston, notably the placement of
his facial scars and the notch in his cowboy hat. Both characters have facial scars that
are comparable to the protagonist in the classic spaghetti western The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976).
John vs the Evil dead The "Undead Hunter Outfit" from the Undead Nightmare DLC is very similar
to the one worn by Ash in the film "Army of Darkness." The name of the outfit changes
to "Army of the Undead" once the player completes the game's story, indicating that this is
most likely a reference to the film. Red Dead Redemption with Russel Crowe The
achievement/trophy "Fightin' Around the World," which is obtained by knocking out a person
in each saloon in the game, is a reference to the South Park episode The New Terrance
and Phillip Movie Trailer, which features Russell Crowe in the television show Fightin'
Around the World. He still doesn't exist There is a trophy/achievement
called "Six Years In The Making" in the Undead Nightmare DLC. "Find and kill a Sasquatch"
is the requirement for this achievement. The achievement's name is a reference to Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas, where there is a widespread belief that Bigfoot may be found
in the game. Donkey Woman The game has a bug where it will
spawn a woman with the AI of a donkey. She will have a horses face coming out of her
own and make various donkey noises. It is possible to mount her like any other horse.
President Marston John Marston and his wife Abigail Marston have the same names as John
Adams and his wife Abigail Adams, the second President of the United States. Both families
had a boy named John ("Jack" is a diminutive form for John) and a daughter who died young.
Mystery Man \ It's unclear who or what The Mysterious Stranger is in the side quest "I
Know You." The Stranger is well-versed in John's sins and misdeeds. He assigns him many
jobs to 'test' his morality, such as assisting a husband in remaining faithful to his wife
(or not) and assisting a nun in feeding the destitute (or rob them). After shrieking "God
damn you!" at the Stranger, John becomes so enraged by his prodding and cutting insight
that he attempts to kill him. The bullets aren't working, and what's the man's response?
"A lot of people have." The last site you see the Stranger (which he cryptically praises
as a wonderful spot) is also the final resting place of Marston. He mentions having a son,
who could be Jesus or the Anti-Christ—whichever morality John follows in this journey, the
stranger will always state he hopes his son grows up to be just like him. The Stranger
will respond that John has forgotten many more significant people than him when John
says he has forgotten who the stranger is when they first meet.

main character, John Marston, is said to have a weaker or impaired left eye. Marston's "Deadly-Assassin"
outfit includes an eye-patch that covers his left eye, during cut-scenes Marston appears
to turn his head slightly to the left to possibly see more with his right eye, sometimes when
using Dead-eye, Marston will comment "I think like I got my eye back," and after Dutch shoots
the woman during Great Men Are Not Always Wise, John does not take the opportunity to
shoot Dutch as he runs through the forest. The other officers also make a remark to John
about not shooting him. And John Marston's left eye is absent in the Undead edition.
GTA similarities/Blind eye part 2 There's also a comparison between John Marston and
Johnny Klebitz from Grand Theft Auto IV: both have similar names (John/Johnny), both rode
in gangs that left them both for dead and come from rough (and criminal) backgrounds,
both have antagonists named Bill/Billy, both have a girlfriend/wife who was considered
"every man's," and both are forced to work with the government to save themselves and
those they care about. Red Dead Redemption 2 seemingly confirms this
when the game opens up with Marston getting attacked by a bear and having a severe wound
near his left eye. Unused Poster In the game's files, there are
unused wanted posters for John Marston and Abraham Reyes. These could have been strewn
across the map at one point. However, when compared to the other posters, the Reyes poster
stands out. Clint Eastwood references Many references
in this game nod to Clint Eastwood's cowboy roles while working with 'Sergio Leone,' including
a gravestone marked "Cowboy with No Name," an achievement named "More than a fistful"
that can be awarded to the player who earns more than $10,000 in game, and the plot of
the Nuevo Paraiso missions, in which the player works for both factions fighting over the
territory before the factions clash, and the plot of the Nue
Uncles Voice Actor is a mystery. "Spider Madison, Uncle's voice actor, has been a mystery for
the community since its initial release. His filmography ends with this game, with the exception of
three more credits on his IMDB profile, and he does not repeat his role as Uncle in the
prequel. There is no information regarding his personal life. He didn't even know his
date of birth. It's unclear whether he's still alive. Many fans believed he was dead while
others believed he just simply retired. In December of 2021,
Rob Wiethoff the voice actor for John Marston, commented on his experience on working with
Madison and confirmed he was alive and well but could not reprise the role for the prequel
due to having other obligations."
Two times on the mountaintop When Dutch van der Linde says in the final mission, "We Gotta
Stop Meeting Like This," he is referring to the final mission in the prequel, Red Dead
Redemption II (2018), where John Marston seeks vengeance on Micah Bell, which takes place
on a mountain as well. John Marstons Daughter Throughout the game,
there are various mentions of John and Abigail having lost a daughter at a very young age.
It is unknown exactly what happened to her or how she died, she is nowhere to be seen
in red dead redemption 2 nor is she mentioned at any point. There is not a single gravestone
in the game that belongs to her. Jack claims he saw his dad die When Jack Marston
confronts Agent Ross, he claims he witnessed him murdering his father, however at the time
John was murdered, Jack was at least a mile away from the property, riding away with his
mother on horseback. After hearing the gunshots, they turn around and return, thus there was
no way Jack could have seen Ross murder John. Landon Rickets didn't train Jack. Many people
in the community seem to believe the notion that Landon Rickets trained Jack Marston after
the death of John. However There isn't a single statement in the game that says After John's
death, Landon Ricketts trained Jack. This idea appears to come from his fighting lines,
in which he compares himself to Landon - however none of his lines ever claim to know him personally,
and is most likely just generic boasting that any 19-year-old would say.
Playing as Young Jack glitch. During the mission "Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed" the player
is able to dismount the horse and freely roam as Jack Marston. He will have his own sprinting
animation but shares the same animations as John Marston. This is also the only time the
player is able to play as 16 year old Jack. Golden Guns These weapons have a golden aspect,
as the name suggests. Golden Guns are divided into two types: one that can be purchased
as DLC for the single player campaign, and another that can be unlocked in multiplayer
by completing Weapon Challenges. Non-firearms like the Tomahawk, Dynamite, and Fire Bottle
can also be rendered golden, despite being referred to as Golden Guns. If the player
owned the Undead Redemption DLC before June 2014, a few default guns would turn gold.
It was confirmed that the press received special copies of the game that had all Golden Guns
unlocked The Repentance Rock scavenger hunt There is
a location on the map near Rio Bravo, called Repentance Rock, by going here the player
will find A deer pelt with enigmatic markings on it that lies on the ground, surrounded
by three rune stones with various symbols etched into them, positioned north, west,
and east. A 'plate' at the southernmost point of the arrangement has carvings of a sun,
a large man, a devil-like man, a spear or tree, and what looks to be a buffalo (from
left to right). The player has no way of interacting with the objects. Fans have speculated for
a long time as to what the significance of this actually is and have made countless conclusions
of their own. To this day rockstar has not made any comment about this location.
Uncle is Red Harlow A popular theory regarding Reds fate after Red Dead Revolver is that
Uncle is actually an older incarnation of the character. He comments that he was known
as the one shot kid and retells some of his exploits. This was a widely debated topic
in the community since Rockstar has gone on record to say the Revolve and Redemption series
are not canon with each other. Furthermore, the year red dead redemption takes place in
would not align with the ages of both characters. Missing the point of the final scene Many
players seem to have missed that John wasn't trying to kill the remaining attackers in
the barn scene. He knew that the peaceful life he wanted his family to have wouldn't
just be possible with people after them, and that killing everyone who came close would
just dig them deeper. It wasn't a case of John failing, he just realized that he couldn't
be part of the future he wanted his family to have.
The Mystery Man Foreshadowing The final encounter with the mystery man occurs at the same location
where John is buried. Furthermore, when standing on John's future tomb, the man says, "Ain't
this a great spot?" Three shots are fired by John (which do not kill or injure the "guy"),
and three graves are found here in the epilogue. Desanta knew you betrayed him. Many of DeSanta's
lines in "Cowards Die Many Times" allude to the impending betrayal, such as when he tells
John, "It's been a busy time for you
in Mexico" (knowing he's been helping both sides), and when John asks why Williamson
and Escuella are in the church, DeSanta responds, "It's a good place to judge a man."
Hypocritical Jack You may eventually come across a man in a random who challenges you
to a duel because you killed his father. As a result, Jack sneers and begins making fun
of the guy, in the words of "Yes, I assassinated your father. He sobbed like a little girl."
Desanta is secretly gay He is first seen making eye contact with a clearly gay waiter. Later,
the two walk away together. While he advises Marston to take advantage of the rebellious
ladies, he never does it himself. Allende several times calls him slurs in Spanish which
refer to gay men. Additionally Some NPC's around a fire camp can also be heard discussing
a rumor about him being in love with said waiter.
Bird People Very similar to the previously mentioned Donkey Lady, The game can bug out
and spawn humans with the AI of birds. They will fly around and even flap their arms . To
someone who does not know about this, it is truly a haunting sight.
Tumbleweed mystery. Tumbleweed is a town that is completely abandoned during the story of
red dead. There are many theories as to why its abandoned but the game implies it's because,
The Armadillo-Tumbleweed railway was not extended to Tumbleweed, instead bypassing the town.
Shortly after that, the residents left. However when the player enters the church
in town, they will find the mysterious words "the devil has got into that beast" scratched
into the podium in the church. For years it's been speculated what exactly this means, but
still there is no concrete answer. What this is likely referencing is the "Dark
Horse". The dark horse appears only when the player has the lowest honor level and no other
horses stored. It was supposed to resemble the Mexican shooter Campus from the 2007 film
Three Ten to Yuma, which was played by Rio Alexander.
Jack Wrote the Game Story In GTA V, Franklin's residence in the Vinewood Hills has a bookshelf
in the living room with a collection of books. When you look closely, you'll notice that
one of the novels is called "Red Dead," and it was authored by J. Marston. While it's
possible that this is a reference to John, it's more likely to be a reference to his
son, Jack Marston. This would mean that after the Epilogue of the first game Jack was able
to become a successful writer, like he always wanted and that the games story was adapted
into a book faithfully. John Marston Merchandise Again in GTA V Mr.
Spoke, a bike rental vendor at Vespucci Beach, wears a red t-shirt with a logo of John Marston
from the cover of Red Dead Redemption. Other NPCs in Los Santos can be seen wearing the
same t-shirt I'm pleased to announce that we've started
a community discord for those that want to engage with likeminded individuals. We'll
be hosting game nights, competitions, and other interactive events. So stay tuned for
that. Also, thanks again to Surfshark for sponsoring the video, use the link below to
