The Music Of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Score Review

Bucks are usually extremely skittish, and the Legendary Buck continues that trend. This is an animal best hunted on foot due to how disturbed it is at the slightest sound, but it’s easy to distinguish thanks to its white and brown coat as it roams between the trees of West Elizabeth. A quick shot will drop this buck, but missing will start a chase that might be a tad annoy


An often overlooked, yet essential aspect of a good visual narrative is the music. Whether it be a movie, television show, or video game, if the story contains some type of emotional element, it becomes the music's job to drive that element home. If you played Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 last year, you experienced a story with a fair amount of emotional complexity that challenged the themes of loyalty, morality, and freedom, and did so in a way that resembled nothing short of a masterpiece. Like most stories of this nature, an enormous bow was needed to tie all of those layers together and create an experience that was just as moving as a movie you'd see at the theater, or a television show that you'd watch at home. Woody Jackson's The Music of Red Dead Redemption 2: Original Score serves as that metaphorical bow, elevating the game to be the immersive, unforgettable experience that is Red Dead Redemption


With Micah Bell, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who did earn a set of authentic and completely earned nicknames. Arthur Morgan came up with them and can be heard calling the Van Der Linde gang plague Micah Bell a rat, sickness, and snake. All of which are so perfectly fitt


When Hosea speaks about his father he explains how the man lived a life of debauchery and sin and surprisingly managed to make it to the age of 75 before passing. He stated that he loved his dad despite only seeing him less than a handful of times in his entire life. It seems that Hosea's way of life was paying homage to his father in many w


Micah Bell is never really addressed as such throughout the game, but he's the third in his family to be named Micah Bell. His grandfather is Micah Bell Sr., his father is Micah Bell Jr., and the rat himself is Micah Bell


Strauss' biography says that he was born under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which didn't start until he was around 21 years old. He was born under the more accurately described Hungarian Empire since he was born in the year 1846. It's unclear whether this is a character or story writer's mist


It's quite obvious he isn't American simply due to his thick European accent. The beauty of the Van Der Linde gang is that all that matters is your loyalty and contributions to the group. It didn't matter where you came f


Micah Bell's horse is named Baylock and is a male Missouri Fox Trotter. Its darker body and light face make the horse look an awful lot like the Dark Horse from the first Red Dead Redemption. The Dark Horse would only spawn in the first game industry News if the player had a low honor level. When putting that into account it seems that the horse picked for Micah Bell was intentional and meant as another piece of foreshadowing teasing the type of person he would reveal himself to be by journey's


This likely traumatized Strauss and made him the type of man who never wanted to be hungry again. Instead of falling into the pit his family had, he used his intelligence and cunning to manipulate people into owing him money. He may not have been kind, but boy was he good at getting the gang mo


The Van Der Linde gang often refer to one another as a family and many of the male members call each other brother. In the Old Testament, there's a character named Micah who warns people that threats can come from familial relationships. If a player is well-versed in the Old Testament this would be a clear cut hint that someone in the Van Der Linde gang was going to betray their self-proclaimed family members. It turns out that sometimes the person warning you are warning you about themsel


Strauss' father, in dyer times, had to trade his 9-year-old daughter in exchange for food for the rest of his family. This broke the hearts of both Strauss, his mother, and his brother. As cruel as it was, it might have been their only option to survive the cruelness of Winter in Eur


This is based on preconceived notions about the type of people who are loan sharks and swindlers. It turns out that Strauss was indeed loyal to his death and even through torture never spilled a word about the gang who brought him in. He ended up finding redemption in his way through those acti


Red Dead Redemption 2 's original score works equally as a thematic landscape of the old west as well as it does an emotional vessel for the game's narrative. The opening track, By 1899, The Age Of Outlaws And Gunslingers Was At An End , eerily sets the tone for the story of Dutch Van der Linde and his gang, attempting to remain outside the law in a country that no longer tolerates the concept. Afterwards, we're greeted with the slow whistling introduction of Outlaws From The West , before the game's iconic western theme busts in, truly establishing the story's vibe. The song, which would play perfectly with any western film from the 60s or 70s, uses its drawn-out guitar riffs and flute to set the landscape for a world of both incredible natural beauty and harrowing danger. We're instantly introduced to the feeling of hope that anything can be accomplished, and the dread that anything can be taken away, a concept that defines Red Dead Redemption
