Rockstar today showed off a first look at the western Red Dead Redemption II, which comes out October 26 for PS4 and Xbox One, and it looks like a fascinating evolution of the first one. Most importantly, this time you can brush your horse.

The Take-Two booth at E3 makes all other publishers look sweaty and sloppy. No insult to the others, really, because they're just doing what game publishers do. They have got their games and their logos and their trailers and lines of people wanting to play stuff. Take Two's got four walls of serenity.

When the world's video game marketers shuffle off this mortal coil, they will be judged for their sins. We like to think there will be a separate inquiry devoted just to superfluous special editions, where the worst offenders are cast into the ninth circle of hell.

One of the video game industry's most grating trends is timed exclusivity, when a console manufacturer such as Sony or Microsoft pays a publisher money in order to deprive content from other platforms for a certain timeframe. It looks as though Red Dead Redemption 2 will be following suit.

It's tempting to want to see our favourite characters in fiction again, maybe in a sequel or prequel. But sometimes I wonder if it's best if they're left alone.

Here's the new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, a video game about cowboys that I think a couple of people might be anticipating. It's our best look yet at the upcoming Rockstar Western.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be out October 26, Rockstar said today, the second major delay for what might be the most anticipated game of 2018.

New year, new games!

Here's what I'm most excited for, including a couple of Australian indie titles!

Want to know what is coming out this year? We have you covered.

GTA Online's latest update, The Doomsday Heist, is all about big new weapons and high-tech vehicles. According to players who have dug into the game's files, however, there's also a mysterious new scavenger hunt that is directly tied into the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2.

It's been nearly a year since GTAForums member RedDagger started a thread dedicated to "landmark analysis" of Red Dead Redemption 2 -- a game that, at the time, was still nowhere close to coming out. "The aim is to get an idea of real-world locations within the game, and hopefully recreate the in-game map, using official trailers and screenshots," RedDagger wrote.

Here's the new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, which stars a new character named Arthur Morgan and is set before the events of the first game, as has been rumoured.

If you had "autumn 2018" in the Red Dead Redemption 2 delay pool, congratulations. Rockstar announced today that the highly anticipated Western game will not make it this year after all.

Red Dead Redemption released seven years ago today and remains a triumph. The tale of John Marston's failure might be Rockstar's finest story.

Last month, the mod group known as .White announced "Red Dead Redemption V," a project that would incorporate Red Dead's map into Grand Theft Auto V. But soon after releasing a teaser trailer for the mod on Friday, the group decided to cancel the project.

Evidence is mounting that Red Dead Redemption 2 is in fact a prequel to the first game, and by evidence, I mean IMDB listings, casting calls, and Facebook friend lists. Welcome to the wild world of Rockstar fan sleuthing.

Much like 2016, where most of my favourite games took me by surprise, I get the feeling I haven’t even seen or heard of 2017’s best games. Yet.

That being said, here are some of the games I’m most looking forward to this year.

There is one woman in the one minute, 22 second teaser trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2. She sits bored on the steps of a tobacco store, not doing anything at all – blink and you’ll miss her.

Haven't gotten enough reveals tonight? Well here's another -- some in-game footage of Red Dead Redemption 2.
