Red Dead Online Revealed – Initially as Beta Access Only
Recently, Rockstar has confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 entire game can be played in the first-person mode, right from the very beginning. Rockstar mentioned it as ‘Possible’ and that all the gunfights, horse riding, free-roaming on foot, conversations with NPCs, fistfights, all ‘Possible’ in first-person mode.
The first-person mode can be triggered by pressing the controller’s touch button on PS4. This triggers a cycle between three camera perspective. Third-person is the default view, then you can switch to first-person mode or the third view is cinematic cameras.
From what we came to know Polygon and Gamespot got to play a segment in first-person mode and they described the detailed and commitment Rockstar has put into Red Dead Redemption 2.
Polygon mentioned a segment where the lead character Arthur Morgan jumps off the horse and the horse is covered in dirt. So when you switch to first-person mode and start brushing off the dirt on horse’s mane, you will see the particles off dirt flying away.
Gamespot mentioned a free roam segment where the first-person mode can put challenge for players and get exhausting due to limited field of view. It was mentioned that the players got ran over by a horse while in first-person mode, roaming the streets of a town.
Rockstar previously added the first-person mode to GTA V. The mode initially was not included in the game. Rockstar added it when the game launched two years later for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
