- Ah, Undead Nightmare. It was a hardly perfect zombie standalone expansion to Red Dead Redemption, and yet, still brilliant.

I know it's not going to happen but man, an Undead Nightmare for Red Dead 2 would be incredible.
It would reignite the fan base, and really bring back this game from the dead.
Rockstar won’t do that, they’ve got GTA6 to crank out for that billion dollar paycheck! They won’t have a smaller dev do it either since what happened with the GTA trilogy remake and that massive debacle.
Nope. Shark Cards V.2 is being developed.
I’m sure they might consider the idea for it someday
@@thatgothcat no they wouldn’t rockstar don’t do single player dlcs anymore
@@TrolledByKBR you never know
John bullying then executing Big Foot was not something I realized I needed today.
this game taught me the consequences of my actions 💀 I wanted to see what it would look like if every town was overrun, after everyone died no npcs spawned anymore, it was just empty, quiet and full of zombies forever. scared me as an 11yo lmao
The scene where John talks to Bonnie after having to put her father down in the barn is pretty serious and heartfelt, the expansion has a select few moments like that where it shows it can be serious when it wants to be. Such a shame we never got an Undead Nightmare 2.
With all the weird stuff in rdr2 we had the perfect setting to see Arthur facing off against some pretty crazy stuff. The manmade mutant, the robot. All of those could have been boss type enemies in an undead nightmare 2
A very legendary DLC. Golden days of Rockstar before they gave up on DLC 😩
R* Downgraded every decade:

Late 2010's/Early 2020's MICRO TRANSACTIONS:

@@legobobafett5045 true. Sadly.
Gta Online was the downfall of DLC. There was supposed to be a dlc for the single player of gta 5 but it got scrapped cause gta online was making so much money
@@dnkypnch7442 Yep
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Undead Nightmare is actually the last DLC Rockstar ever made
Undead nightmare to me as of now is the only zombie themed game I’ve found unique. Rarely and I mean really rarely do you ever see zombies in a western themed setting.
Left 4 dead not unique enough for you?
@@thecoolcario9048 That’s different. I’m talking about zombies in different time periods.
Only other thing I can think of rn would be Hunt Showdown, yeah
Yea, literally only other similar thing i’ve played is Buried on Bo2 😂 which isn’t even a game, just in a game
Closest thing in media at all that I can think of is Dusk Till Dawn, the Tarantino movie
I like how in undead nightmare people in the story don't take the zombie apocalypse seriously because they don't know what it is so they refer to them as undead, but on the flip side of things it makes the gameplay unnatural and scary i remember the first time getting over cornered by zombies because the way they groan seem like they're some of kind of strange being rather than have humans groan in the background it always terrified me, the mythical creatures was the best thing about the game.
“ITS THE MEXICANS”
I agree for sure on the mythical creatures, the unique horses and the unicorn were like the only reason I played the dlc all the way through.
I remember being terrified on undead nightmare as a kid and i could only play it if my bedroom door was wide open lol, even now the music definitely makes me slightly uneasy
Ya the groans were more the most ghostly zombie voices I had heard at the time, they sounded as if they were in hell in the moment and the ones that did talk when clearing out a graveyard scared me
The only zombie game where the zombies scared me because of the noises and how many could be in an overrun town
Literally lol the groaning moaning noises when Inside a building in blackwater would freak me out when I was younger. Like yup gtfo of the building cause they come up out of no where too
You should play Project Zomboid
@@shasha6337 already do, though mostly with friends so the fear is eclipsed by someone accidentally yelling
@@schizomonika i play it alone and let me tell you it should be reclassified as a horror game
I always would've loved to see a Alien Invasion sorta expansion for RDR2. A twist on the Undead Nightmare with something more niche, like Cowboys and Aliens.
A cool dlc with Aliens who land on earth and decide to live with human society. And you see aliens and humans living with each other maybe have alien gangs or mixed gangs with aliens and humans. Alien weaponry mixed with western human weaponry. So much they can do with it imo
I'd pay top dollar to see Arthur pull out a raygun

I remember getting RDR the day it came out on my 10th birthday and later on got Undead Nightmare on Christmas. My folks had gotten the disc edition so it was cool having both OG RDR and UN cases side by side. One of the best things about selling UN on a separate disc was if you went into multiplayer you had all the DLC. Even after 100% the story of UN it was so much fun just to run around and kill the undead. Miss those days in 2010 man
I got it the day it came out on my 12th birthday
@@taylortickle5097 oh no way we share May 18th let’s gooo!
Ah yes, my childhood Trilogy of RDR Undead Nightmare, Left 4 Dead 2 and Black Ops zombies. God be with the days of simpler times and when devs put effort and care into their games
Me and my cousin still play l4d 2 on Xbox man❤️
I absolutely love it. It's so silly and goofy and John's attitude through it is just hysterical. The way he just goes "well, this might as well happen," ties up his zombified wife and son and gives them steaks is just top notch.
Nostalgia aside I will argue we can't have UDN2 because of greed
I love undead nightmare, it's a bit sad that it doesn't have a red dead 2 sequel, it would be great
You mean prequel
@@serenseitcean2051 well, I meant sequel as in second game, not really in chronological order, but you're right on that part.
when i was a kid i had vivid nightmares of the sounds the zombies made.
Wow, the Games says Nightmare in the title of the DLC.
That was the point to keep kids from playing an adult videogame.
The real reason is that it's the last time Rockstar made a DLC for their single-player game. It's also just a general masterclass on how to do DLC right. Everything from the price to the design and story is done so well. It's something you could've easily taken for granted back then, but in the modern day, that type of thing is a real rarity. In a world where seemingly every game has a battle pass or some type of in-game microtransaction, it's a real palette cleanser to see a game with actually good singleplayer DLC.
It’s crazy how much the real world is turning into the exaggerated worlds of Red Dead and GTA
Ikr society act like zombies how theyre all doing the same typical bullshit
It’s sad that on Xbox One it’s buggy as hell and the worst part is the headless zombie then turn into regular people with no head
This was the first time a video game actually scared the hell out of me.
I had been playing the main game all summer that year. I was hooked. I had explored every nook and cranny and gotten every challenge and played through it again.
So I knew this game and its world well.
And then to see it turn into THIS!? It felt as though zombies were in my own neighborhood all of a sudden.
God this DLC is so good. I redownloaded it recently and am playing through it again for I think the 7th time, still slaps lol
Considering the time period of 1899 and the location with all the thick forests and frozen mountains, maybe Red Dead 2 could have a horror-themed DLC based around Native American folklore. A wendigo stalking Arthur through a blizzard, for example.
Fuck that. That sounds creepy as hell dude. It would work well, considering we already get a sort of horror element from things like the night folk and the weird shit that goes on with murphrees brood, I believe it was.
I fucking LOVEE the Intro to Undead Nightmare. It's honestly one of my favorite Intros in a game period.
So, i basically agreed with everything you said, just one nitpick. The hauntingly narrated intro gives the false impression that the expansion would be more serious-horror oriented opposed to parody, as well as the general atmosphere up until Uncle is fully revealed, then immediately killed. Also the fact they respected historical accuracy enough to the degree that the word “Zombie” is never said in dialogue, only “Undead”. Kinda wished you talked about the actual plot also, instead of disregarding it as simply a parody plot that exist for the sake of a parody plot. Like i’m not arguing with you that it’s a fucking nightmare in John’s head, he literally has lines essentially breaking the 4th wall saying things like “This has to be a nightmare!”. I’m just saying, the expansion *does* have a theme that is not just parodying, it’s also a projection of John’s subconscious. The girl “Ayauhtéotl” at the end of the game tells John “These are your demons, John.” after he asked her “Why aren’t they attacking you??” You see, Jack’s whole story, although mostly muted by a beautiful piano solo, it’s almost *certainly* a plot about a father who comes back from an errand, when his family is attacked and infected with a cannibalistic disease, he ties them up and takes off to find help, but “Since there’s no cure, the brave man has to kill everybody” Which is all caused by the conflict between Aztec Sun and Moon worshippers, which all really translates to the consequences of the Mexican Civil War that occurred earlier, leaving Reyes in Escalera to find the Aztec mask, and become patient zero of the Undead outbreak. Can’t believe that all went over your head, also you didn’t acknowledge my favorite part of UN, in the cutscene where John puts hogtied Abigail on the bed, if you look closely, she actually tries taking a bite directly out of his crotch area.
Based paragraph
I heard someone say zombie in the game 2 days ago
Which I thought was weird. But now I'm doubting myself
I love this dlc, and I'd have to disagree with your statement that zombies can't be scary. Ten year old me was deeply unsettled by a lot of stuff in this dlc, the ambiance and music was twisted from the original and unnerving. Finding cannibals in the hills, men having their zombie wives chained up and feeding them human remains. This dlc managed to find a nice combination of comedy offset by genuine horror
I still get startled when zombies appear in the right way
Undead Nightmare: the Treehouse of Horror of games
I dont think zombies is something that will ever get truly "tired" as a trope. Its its own sub genre its like saying horror itself is tired which is just ridiculous. Sure certain individual people might get tired of it, but as a whole there will always be a place for these stories just like there will always be a place for any other genre. If you are someone who actually enjoys zombies theres nothing tired about it you just constantly patiently wait for the next great zombie experience wether its a movie or game.
This. It's like saying FPS games are tired due to uninspired devs pumping them out.
I prefer all the zombie content we were getting ~12 years ago instead of all the super hero crap everywhere nowadays
UN is categorically a 10/10, as someone who still plays through it semi-regularly with family and friends. The zombie trope itself is also only tired and hard to take seriously until you find an IP within to be invested in. Zamn, I love opinions couched as facts, too! Looks like we have that in common.
I imagine that red dead redemption undead nightmare john’s hell after he dies
We eat berries and mushrooms, the potent herbivore bait in rdr 2 Big foot confirmed.
It’s an absolute crime that we never got an Undead Nightmare 2 in RDR2. Imagine having a horde mode ala Gears of War with your posse just taking out hordes of the undead it would’ve been chefs kiss.
Bruh the comedic way john deals with his family has me dying:ties them up puts abigail on the bed but doesnt bother with jack feeds them food says”jack be kind to your mother, abigail teach him write from wrong.”😂
Bro husltes straight banger after banger rdr videos in a day out
Remember back when games had DLC that wasn’t just skins or new weapons? Good times.
First time I played this literally as I left the first town I randomly found one of the four horses before I even knew what they where epic.
What is your obsession with making blanket generalizations about this DLC? "Undead nightmare is..." I get that you are biased against zombies, but this DLC was not just some outlandish and absurd story. While there are aspects to it that don't elaborate on what is happening down to the specifics, it is definitely not, only ironic or "wacky" or whatever else you are saying to subtly slight it to be not as much of a masterpiece as it actually was.
Yeah it may be really good but every thing has flaws
this game was actually my first experience with RDR, my buddy owned the standalone version on the 360 that was just undead nightmare and he let me borrow it back in high school. Loved every second of it. It was a silly good time lassoing zombies and using the deadeye feature on hordes of zombies.
No one told me the zombie groans would be echo-y. First time playing, terrified
This game was so much fun to me that I used to speedrun it as a kid, beating it in single sittings while my family watched. Even now I still do that, and it's a blast every single time - even held world records at one point for it... Good times.
I really like the green. The green is good. It makes my eyes feel good.
2 videos 2 days both about rdr this is amazing
I love undead nightmare. It was my gateway into red dead redemption thanks to finding a disc copy at Walmart back in like 2013. It's still one of the most interesting zombie games around
Ngl i watched two streams and since then i fell inlove with fizhy's content and i think hes an amazing gamer
I always get that glitch where the zombies heads are invisible, but if your pacifying a graveyard they don’t stop spawning.
I wish they would have given us a cowboys vs aliens single player dlc for red dead 2.
I really like that idea.
Anything but zombies.
I did enjoy this game though.
the non-story stuff in this DLC can actually be pretty unsettling or depressing, like the random events or the ambient music.
that said, john's reaction to whistling an undead horse is one of those things that stood out to me as hilarious
The buffalo and sasquatch were heartbreaking.
"Zombies aren't horror"
Give Resident Evil 2 Remake or Dying Light a shot. It'll put the fear of zombies back into you.
I see what you mean - some games do break the mould.
Dead island was spooky when I was younger. Till someone online gave me modded weapons
Undead Nightmare is a blast and will go down as one of the best DLCs ever. The 4 horses of the apocalypse are enough to keep me coming back.
9:35 death by boot. Absolute lunatic
"You cant fight gravity john"
"You eat babies!"
Amazing work man !!
The dialogue and tone of the "parody within itself" part seriously can't stop me from making the connection to "Destroy All Humans." The textures, the character "depth" the iconic element that makes your game "its game" ( like aliens, or a cowboys epic gunslinging skills) mixed with a hilarious archetype scenario that would never happen! it's honestly ingenious 10/10 for me but mostly because of my biased view of what I grew up loving definitely.
my favorite part of this game was it forced you to make headsots, and when i went back to regular red dead i was a total beast without using dead eye.
The 5 mythical horses made me love this dlc even if it wasnt done super well and every 2 hours or so would have a headless npc game breaking glitch. I cant be the only one who had the invisible head glitch breaking the game. Or even worse the infinite graveyard clearing glitch
I've never played it without everyone not having a head.
I also suffered this FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!! Having to save every 5 minutes just reload when it breaks was so goddamn annoying! I still wonder how everyone can simp over this pile of fucking shit as if it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Did they somehow get a hold of a perfect copy free of all the game-breaking issues?
But still, I’m glad I’m not alone on this experience.
@Overload funnily enough I'd have never even played it if I hadn't accidentally dropped my 360 controller on the console while resetting the cable box and laser burned my base game disk in like 5th grade lmao. But I had no base game to play and it was the next best thing I had
There’s a way to fix it. You have to get rid of the newest update. I play on ps3 and as soon as I cleared the cache for undead nightmare, I was able to clear the graveyard in Mexico.
Just know that graveyard, even when you fix the game, is still pretty long. Just make sure to decline any update it asks you to install. There’s a way for Xbox as well, I just forgot what you have to do exactly.
@@WhiteKnight89I simp over it, since I never experienced any glitches or bigger bugs in my playthrough. I had a great time with the game. Easy as that. Truly sorry to hear that others were not so lucky, that really sucks, but that doesn't change retroactive how I felt playing it.
I think it worked so well because of the thorough, detailed world. The atmosphere in UN is absolute tops for a zombie shooter.
Its the same reason the spooky elements of RDR2 are so effective: its a virtual world so immersive and well realized that any horror elements hit much harder.
I think it should be lore seeing as how we have time traveler in rdr2 and this is how you tie in rd revolver and uncle being Harlow
I like that people are suddenly making a bunch of content on RDR1, I’ve been tired of RDR2 having the limelight (even though I love it), because, and I know this is a controversial opinion, I prefer John over Arthur. John in RDR1 has so many witty remarks that make him such an enjoyable character. Also, that first scene with Ross is just pure gold.
The Spaghetti Western ... with MEAT!
nicely done fizhy👍
I bought the standalone disc, which was only around $15-20? so that I could play multiplayer with my friends and we had so much fun with it! We goofed around in the open world for weeks before we were like “wait… there’s missions?” 😂 I still deeply regret not also buying the base game but I was young and broke at the time and had no idea what I was missing with the story.
I can’t even have fun with the game darn headless glitch
Maybe they could make a vampiric nightmare since there is a vampire Easter egg
Damn you were quick with making this one, great vid tho!
Instead of Undead Nightmare 2 it would have been cool to become a paranormal detective in RDR2. Essentially taking the hunting and combat mechanics to the next level. Crafting silver bullets for werewolves, throwing garlic at vampires, random shit like that. Having to track these monsters down, fight them, take their parts to use to hunt other monsters.
It’s a big ask for a modding community without developer support, and Rockstar will likely never touch RDR2 again, but the idea of a wacky expansion is still appealing. We can always dream.
I'd buy that. Arthur gets to live on as a vampire (cos they're ... undead). Red dead monster hunter or something.
First time I've been early to one of these videos, hell yeah brother
It is neat that R* put Undead Nightmare Easters eggs in RDR2, for example with Micah's horse. That something those who remembered the elements of the dlc would spot and what it represented.
Also the Sasquatch mission was hilarious,, after GTA SA and the infamous big foot theory, R* brings it into Undead Nightmare has players possibly exterminate the species. 😂 They must have had it with the big foot theories.
If a trip down the swamps at night is anything to go by, then an undead nightmare for RDR2 would be awesome...Rockstar wouldn't dare though...
Rockstar must be deathly allergic to money for never making an undead nightmare 2, way to fumble the bag
What? Please use grammar and correct spellings.
@@craigstoner2632. Spelling. Spelling is plural too
See idk what you mean by not terrifying cuz when I was younger I was petrified of zombies because 1.There’s A LOT and 2.they don’t quit they are just a unrelenting force of just I’m going to kill you and that spooked me
It was very hard and scary when I was young. But then I discovered auto aim
Which made it half as scary
you know what the perfect DLC for red dead 2 would've been? Aliens, if we got some over the top Cowboys vs Aliens campy B movie style story for Aurther, and the gang. Dutch would probably betray us in the end trying to join the aliens or something.
John, kicking the last survivor of a genocide in the teeth: I’ve had about enough of you!
He isn't the last survivor. I killed him, and still saw more in tall trees.
Very hard to find another but they exist
The was my introduction into read dead when it 1st came out 😂 I had no idea there was a story beyond this until years later when rdr 2 came out and I was like OMG JOHN MARSTON 😂
When I completed undead nightmare and John became a Zombie, I just did those zombie sounds all day for no reason
Oddly what I mostly like about undead nightmare are zombies I remember I spent hours just killing or making fun of their AI It's seems boring but I don't know I just remember having fun
Why is the quality so good for your undead nightmare?
This dlc just shows how scary zombie apocalypses actually are especially if they happened back when technology wasn't very advanced
I think ur right about rdr2 not needing an undead nightmare but it still would've been cool if they did do something like it with another horror movie spoof like the stranger mission with the vampire of Saint Denis or that werewolf lunatic in the forest just something like undead nightmare with the other supernatural encounters in the game to be based off of
The zombie genre is awesome and red dead puts an un fathomable twist on it luckily in an open world yet zombies in the Wild West I don’t think had been done before… also I’m a big fan of both the western and zombie genres in all types of media
I think it would be fun for this to return
Honestly rdr1 and undead nightmare were my childhood (and the skate/ tony hawk games) eventually I found out RPGs were a thing and moved on to fallout and such, but damn the things I’d do to experience some of these games for the first time again. If only rockstar would release undead nightmare 2, shit I’d pay full price for it and the world space is already built so
There are substances that make the game feel new again.
I'm currently building a new PC. I just want something simple and reliable. I was wondering what your PC specs were, because your content always looks fantastic. Could you post them, Fizhy?
My specs are outdated, check out some build websites if you're stuck for specs! They're more reliable than me.
I got 3 of 4 of the horses of the apocalypse the unicorn was too majestic
Literally just watched your other red dead video lol
This is most likely the only zombie game I frequently play other than The Walking Dead Seasons 1,2
I loved the DLC when it originally came out, and I recently enjoyed catching up with it again. Although, I could have sworn it was longer.
Excellent video either way 👊
No one mentions you can also kill the chupacabra
You have to if you want to complete the game entirely
Honestly best DLC ever than the GTA 4’s DLC IMO
it sucks that i cant play this game anymore due to the backward compatibility feature not working well with xbox series X. it keeps saying cloud storage is full so it cant save any progress but the thing is that its not full at all.
Dude, I think the undead nightmare is the very best dlc ever!
If you let an area get overrun, you can't fast travel there. Leaving one or two places overrun isnt a big deal but eventually you find yourself with less and less areas you can get to via fast travel.. which i can understand why people wouldnt care but it's not completely pointless because i found myself needing to fly around the map quite a bit for obtaining 100%
If they didn’t do an Undead 2, I would have loved a Cowboys vs Aliens type thing
Is this new ?? It just popped up on my PS5 store 49.99
Man, if Undead Nightmare came to RDR2 I'd picture it like this...
We'd open the game the same way, save John, and upon the first Colm mission, he'd say there's a plague that had seized the world and drove them to hide in the mountains. Seen as a yarn to avoid dying, Dutch shoots Colm and gets his revenge early. We learn about the plan to rob Cornwall's train and attempt to rob it, the dynamite still fails, but upon jumping the train we discover it's filled with undead guards. Seeing this, we return to Colter and warn the rest that something is going on.
Arthur and Charles agree to head into the nearest town to confirm the crazy stories, and find the dead running amuck. Upon escaping the hairy situation, we return to Colter to see that Pinkerton undead had wandered into the abandoned town, causing everyone to flee into the storm. We find John, Abigail, and Jack together and held up in one of the cabins being protected by Sadie. John couldn't be moved in time, and refusing to abandon him, his family is there while the rest cut off.
A plan is formed to move out west, further from densely populated civilization, but the world has only gotten crazier. Arthur is now the lead in this zombie world and we must now navigate the land of the undead with our crew to keep safe.
Dude no one knows just how great this game was killing zombies while listening to The Devil Wears Prada’s “ZOMBIE EP”… perfect shit
Earlier than I expected
7:43 I'm sorry but... "Another settlement needs your help!" I'm sorry! The joke was there!
I think rockstar should just release a complete zombie game. That shoots like their other games but different in other ways
I always wondered why they didn’t do a dlc for rdr2. Not even another undead nightmare because I feel like rdr1 handled that. I always was like “why not aliens vs cowboys” which everyone shot down when I genuinely think it’d be a very good story for a character like Arthur since he’s already funny. Idk it’s just a thought and I’d like to hear opinions :) also hottake: I think rockstar should take care of all open world style games
Your idea gives me a chubby. I'd def buy red dead vs aliens. If they catch you they probe your starfish big style, that would motivate the shit outa me to fight on.
9:35 Ooh. Kicked him right in the sasquatch.
The big advantage, and also the big detriment, of Undead Nightmare comes from the same fact: It all comes from the idea of “What if RDR had zombies in it?”
That’s an interesting idea, but that’s all it is - an idea. You can have your fun with it for a while, but there’s no depth to be explored there beyond the initial kick of zombies in a western setting. At the same time, it doesn’t need to be any deeper than that as it’s just a fun premise you’re running with for some goofy times in a DLC.
So there’s not much of substance to be gained from Undead Nightmare… but it wasn’t ever offering anything more than that anyway.
Aren't all games temporary fun? I enjoy undead nightmare a lot, I played when it came out and now the re release. It's more than just an idea
