Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Recreates Legendary John Wayne Character in the Game
A Red Dead Redemption 2 player has shown off their incredible recreation of John Wayne's gunslinger J.B Books from The Shootist. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most iconic Western stories of all time, and it's fitting to see crossovers between it and other classic Westerns.

While it may not be as successful as GTA 5 for Rockstar, it's likely these numbers are beyond anything Rockstar could have predicted when it greenlit the sequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption.

One Red Dead Online player even made their character look like Abraham Lincoln in the game, before promptly being shot by another player.
