The dog who portrayed Cain in Red Dead Redemption 2 has died.
"Einstein was truly one of a kind," Barnes wrote."From the moment we met, we formed a deep bond, and it was clear that we were destined for countless adventures together.
Barnes told PC Gamer that he first encountered Einstein, then named Hero, at a shelter when he was still a puppy. Inspired by Cowboy Bebop and Back to the Future, he renamed him to Einstein—Ein for short—and trained him as a service dog. When Barnes started working on the RDR2 motion capture set on Long Island, Einstein would often accompany him on the drive out. His turn as Cain began as just a fitting for testing the dog mo-cap suit, but"he was known by all of the actors at this point and because of his service training, he was very used to sitting and waiting patiently which made him a perfect mo-cap dog."
"He would often nail every shot, even did a bunch of the movement mo-cap for the basic dog stuff, however his mo-cap time was primarily focused on the Cain moments and performance. He was such a good boy. It's incredible how well he did, even the actors were surprised."Barnes' Instagram post attracted reminiscences from other members of the RDR2 development team.
