Among the info divulged is details surrounding the plot of Red Dead Redemption 2, which is said to revolve around young Jack Marston, the son of the John Marston, the protagonist from the first game....

Racing games are just about my favorite genre in the industry. In fact, my earliest memory of playing video games is of sitting in my mom’s office, playing through a few racing titles on an N64 which belonged to one of her colleagues. This was the early 2000s, so the gaming world was pretty accustomed to 3D already. I totally missed the ‘golden era’, but after going back and trying a few classic titles from that period of time, I must say— it’s great that we’ve moved on from those times....
