8 Amazing Details You Didn't Know About #14 (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@reyesjunior0402]

Honestly I never expected that there would be spikes being hammered. I thought to myself they were just hammering for the sake of the animation. This level of detail is incredible

[@joeaardvark9214]

Came here to say the same thing. No one would have ever even noticed, or cared, if you couldn't see the spikes being hammered in. But they animated it anyway. Amazing that they even thought to. Love this game.

Dutch’s speech puts the saying “calm before the storm” in motion. And to me it really showed how it was greed that ruined the family dynamic of the gang. They were all happy when they got Jack back, then with everyone they could’ve headed west but no. Dutch had another idea in how to get more “money” Dutch is the embodiment of the storm. It’s always brewing, just waiting to come down. And once it breaks through there’s no stopping the storm until the noise stops.

[@StuartLugsden]

Rockstar went the extra mile when it came to things like the second detail in this video. If you go to a place thats under construction like say the building between the doctors and the saloon in Valantine and watch the guy on the roof nail down the titles you'll notice there is actually a nail model and it goes in as the guy hits it. If you watch Pearson, Abigail or Sadie cook and look closely you'll notice that they do actually slice the carrot into small pieces. They actually took the carrot model and split it into separate parts to create the illusion that the characters are actually slicing it into pieces because thats how much they care. Or use to at least.

[@themadtitan7603]

Agreed. I always loved these extra animations in this game that other AAA titles don't bother to add. I'm particular about that sort of stuff and whenever I see a game when construction workers don't actually hammer in the nail or a food prop isn't even cut (looking at you Marvel's Spider-Man which came a month before RDR2) it just breaks me out of the immersion. Even things like the watering depleting when shot through adds to that imo.

[@StuartLugsden]

​@@themadtitan7603 Speaking of the hammer, when the guy is done he'll put it behind him and it floats as tho he put it into an invisible holster and as far as I can remember NPCs that are picked for this scripted routine don't have a gunbelt. John has a hammer holster on his gunbelt when he builds his house (which wasn't added the wardrobe by the way) so that dose make me wonder if the NPC was suppose to have one on his belt thats behind him. Also Insomniac did add some great details like Taskmaster watching Spiderman doing his challenges from a distance and disappearing in a ball of smoke if you get close and Peter actually having 3 chest hairs on him if you zoom in.

[@waffler-yz3gw]

Not to mention the lumberjacks will actually cut down trees, that's really cool

[@themadtitan7603]

@@StuartLugsden Insomniac definitely did an excellent job with details as well, I don't want to discredit them. It's just so cool to go from people clowning Aunt May cutting thin air instead of chopping the carrot to seeing Pearson actually cut them and have a whole cooking routine.

Every time I have played the “Help A Brother Out” mission, I have always given the money in the cash register to the slaves, it just felt like the right thing to do. If I also recall correctly, when you return later you can have a follow-up conversation with the shop owner about the event.

I believe if there's a Competent VR Port of RDR2, it would feel so immersive that you feel like you've just time travelled back to The Wild West in The Body of an Outlaw. Hell, if someday we can actually jab wires into our brain stem without dying. I bet RDR2 is gonna get a remaster for you to live through Arthur's Life. By the time you wake up from The Simulation, you'll have a lifetime of stories to tell and probably will be shocked at first since you just felt yourself slowly die on a mountain top staring at a beautiful sunset.

[@sgg3586]

Neat detail about the Thunderstorm that happens during the night at Jack's rescue celebration, is that you can see a moment early in the evening where Molly O'Shea tries to talk to Dutch and he brushes her off as usual. She will go and get drunk (and I THINK tries to talk to Abigail or Sadie), then spends the night basically sleeping outdoors in that little circular veranda that is across from the house. You can actually follow her at many of the campsites and find her sulking and getting progressively depressed as the game goes on, especially after any of the interactions where she gets into an argument with Dutch. But to even notice most of those, you gotta go out of your way to follow her and ignore the other gang members. Which plays into the whole narrative of how she is largely forgotten/ignored by everyone and treated like an outsider the entire game (like the fact you never actually do a single quest/favor for her and the only time you ever begin a quest of hers she gets cut-off by Uncle mid-sentence and it becomes a quest for someone else).
