Rockstar talks Red Dead Redemption 2's wildlife, hunting, and fishing
Red Dead Redemption 2 is looming large on the horizon, which means Rockstar's lips are growing looser by the day. And now, following last month's location reveals, the studio is ready to talk up the game's massive variety of wildlife.
On the surface, wildlife mightn't seem like a particularly thrilling topic of conversation but, as Rockstar has proven time and time again, it's the attention to detail that makes all the difference in open world games. And with the studio promising around 200 species of animals, birds, and fish (not to mention an impressive 19 distinct breeds of horse) in its highly anticipated Wild West sequel, that's a enormous amount of life to enrich the world.
According to Rockstar, each species responds to its environment in a unique way, forming a complex ecosystem: "Deer, bison and pronghorn traverse the plains in large herds," it says, "scavengers quickly sniff out carrion, sockeye salmon leap upstream, wolves attack in packs surrounding their prey, geese fly in fixed formations, possums play dead, rodents scamper into tree hollows, grizzly bears bluff charge when threatened, and birds of prey soar on thermals."
