DodgerCoug listed the likes of the entire map of the West Coast (plus Tijuana), the rise of immigration and the part it played in the gold rush and the development of railroads. As well as the ruthless outlaws and vigilante justice, the negative impact on Native Americans and much more. It’s certainly an intriguing but equally tragic period to explore.
“I kinda love this,” exclaimed DirtBagFace. “I really like this for lots of reasons. It has a lot of elements from my own petRDR3idea, which has a focus on California areas and more Native Americans,” replied ArthurDartLazos.
“It needs to absolutely have nothing to do with the Dutch van der Linde gang in my opinion. That story is played out and done, it’s time to start a new one,” suggested Troy242426. However, some on the thread made very valid points regarding the period in which slavery was prominent. It’s perhaps a subject that may prove to be too controversial, even for Rockstar Games.
Red Ded Redemptionand its sequel are available now on modern platforms. As forGTA VI, it’s expected to be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
