GTA 6 trailer quietly snuck into Red Dead Redemption, of all places

Wild wild guest appearance

The decade prior to 1911, the year in which John Marston’s story picks up in the first Red Dead Redemption, was a transcendent time in the history of cinema.

Following the premiere of the Lumière brothers' groundbreaking series of short films in 1895, rear projection technology slowly began to improve and audiences were suddenly desperate to explore this fresh, new medium.

Dozens of innovative directors began popping up in the early 1900s, and their work laid the groundwork for auteurs moving forward.

Some of these films are still considered classics today, like Edwin S. Porter’s The Great Train Robbery, Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon, and Hideaki Anno's 1997 anime classic The End of Evangelion.

That’s what some modders would want you want you to believe at least, as some bright sparks have taken to modding silly, anachronistic videos into the new PC version of Red Dead Redemption.

Also, funny aside, Casey Mongillo who posted this tweet actually voices Shinji Ikari in the Netflix dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is the type of dumb stuff the internet was invented for.

As explained by Issy van der Velde over at NME (and first noticed by VG247's Mark Warren), Casey wasn’t content with leaving things there though. They later posted a follow-up tweet of John watching the latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in Red Dead Redemption.

I don’t know how exactly they managed to trigger John to say “somethin’ don’t feel right here” just before Tom Petty’s “Love Is A Long Road” started blasting in a wooden shack somewhere in 1911, but the end result is, coincidentally, absolute cinema.

Gotta say, I was mostly just excited for Red Dead Redemption to launch on PC just to see what modders could do with it, and they are not disappointing me so far. I’ll probably say the exact same thing in 10-30 years when GTA 6 finally drops on PC too.
