PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Talk Me Into (@talkmeinto)
SHOWNOTES: Yee-haw! Collateral Gaming ventures into the Wild West with the latest Rockstar Games action-adventure title Red Dead Redemption II. Featuring special guest Andrew from Brash Binary (@BinaryBrash), this episode we discuss how hyper-realism and slow pacing enhances the gameplay of this 2018 Game of the Year contender, why the fictionalized version of 19th century America's frontier serves as a perfect setting for the story, and in which ways the characters of this western epic captured our attention. We even have time to summarize the Red Dead franchise as a whole, and analyze the value of long development time in the modern game industry. Grab your hat, load your gun, and saddle up for this outlaw adventure!
