Exploring off the Map Big Valley Region | Red Dead Redemption

Crazy how the flat iron lake is drastically different in RDR2

[@iceman1287]

Not to mention the fact that Leymone borders Nuevo Paraiso in RDR1

[@BabuZeko]

@@iceman1287 ??? no it doesn't

[@fishbuckethat]

Indirectly, is what I think he meant since the land masses connect together on the map, where Mexico is a separated in RD2 map

[@ImmortalIdeas]

That's owanjila.

[@noody1247]

Well, I think that since Flat Iron Lake is not an accessible area on the map like in RDR2, Rockstar decided to just put it as if Flat Iron Lake was different, Flat Iron Lake didn't change, it remains the same in RDR2, Rockstar just didn't update RDR1 to change that.

Is nobody gonna talk about how that water physics looks insanely good even for 2010's standards?

[@boglurker2043]

Rockstar have always had the best water for the time their games came out. Except GTA 4… The water in that game looks and moves like tar.

[@SavingPrivateBob]

This was a 2010 game? Oh dang, I mistook it for RDR2 lol

[@evangelicae_rationis]

@@boglurker2043Not at all, to be honest. For example, Half-Life 2 water physics and graphics were way better than San Andreas, both in 2004.

[@lewisofthehoood]

@@evangelicae_rationishalf life 2, first person linear game, San Andreas, third person open world with tons of activities. Hmm I wonder why San Andreas has worse graphics

[@evangelicae_rationis]

@@lewisofthehoood To be fair, Half-Life 2 physics are more demanding than the entire San Andreas open world. They were considered impossible to be ran on a computer in 2004.

[@joeysx5573]

That's crazy you can actually see a part of Ambarino in RDR1, same spot where the prologue takes place in RDR2 and also the same area where John kills Micah in the epilogue.

[@TrexAintaChicken]

That's not where the prologue or Micah's death occurs. Those locations are much further north in game. The location in the video is much closer to Owanjila

[@MMK_033]

Yeah, the line where collision ends by northern latitude is somewhere about Riggs Station in RDR2. Closest Ambarino border is about as close as Mexican lands from that point, if you look straight from south to north.

[@morpho5539]

Before Red Dead Redemption 2 was released, I often imagined what lay beyond the northern border, up in the distant mountains. Then, in the sequel, we actually got to explore those mountains. I also used to role-play in Red Dead Redemption what we can now do in Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar knew exactly what the fans wanted in a sequel. PS mods in Red Dead Redemption, whaaat?

[@maleexile9053]

Prequel

[@Fyrehart97]

I was slightly creeped out when I saw the torches for a moment - I didn't play much of Online as a kid, so didn't immediately recognise it. Cool that the area exists to such a capacity in the base game. It actually makes for quite a cool and tranquil spot to visit out of bounds.

[@Anonymous-ux8ku]

It’s good that they kept some of the geography intact like that rock formation north of John’s house

[@Arm2tr0ng]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that

[@Anonymous-ux8ku]

@@Arm2tr0ng yeah I was comparing the contour lines along the river bank from rdr1 to rdr2 and it pretty much lines up

[@Arm2tr0ng]

@@Anonymous-ux8ku it’s lines up along the bank but, I feel like they stretched out the shore too much. I understand lore wise it’s because the dam likely broke in RDR1 since it’s obviously not developed in 2010. But, the climate and elevation are different. The Great Plains has dried up grass across the whole region and it spreads to the eastern part of the north side of the river. Where in 2 the grass gets greener out of nowhere as it gets north while still in Great Plains. And the height difference in 1, you couldn’t see anything from the south side as in 2 you can easily see Riggs, Lone mule stead and other landmarks from the south end. Some of the things made a return but I wish the overall landscape would’ve been used instead of redoing it from the ground up

[@Tadicuslegion78]

if they remaster RDR1 & 2 for the PS5, they should allow both games to share one humongous map so you can ride from Mexico to Annesburg

[@Ziptie258]

Take a good hour to ride to and from shit would be crazy

[@kadley4240]

That would be amazing, imagine how long it would take from the very far end of mexico in rdr1 all the way to the northeasternmost part of the rdr2 map

[@morpho5539]

Thank you for the positive comment. I'll bring some simpler videos first, then I intend to make this comparison, it's a good suggestion.

[@pinetreepizza]

Yeah, a comparison video would be great!

[@Mitsurifan357]

It’s amazing to see that even in 2010, the template for RDR2’s map is there. Like you can almost recognize it in this video. That’s incredible

God I miss playing this game when I was young. Living on the countryside and grinding it with friends, especially undead nightmare, was great.

[@MaxwellPlayz.]

It’s kind of rare how Owanjila disappeared

[@dyedam622]

I like that there are some vague resemblance here and there. At 4:33 you can see the shape of the dskota river and the seats of new hanover and you can see the grizzlies up north.

[@ddddavyy8383]

This makes me think that instead of creating the map for RDR2 from scratch with the new locations first, that R* initially instead started by porting the original map over and worked their way north east. I originally thought they might've started with the new locations first and finished New Austin last considering it's only explorable in the epilogue and all they really had to do was port over the old map but this makes me thing they actually started here and changed the terrain into whay we now know was Big Valley

[@TheCynicalAutist]

If you look at leaked maps, they did start from West Elizabeth onwards, and they didn't even have anything past Thieves Landing. The leaks probably made them finish adding the rest of the US map due to fan expectations, but it's clear they didn't intend to add it, at least not beyond it being scenery like Mexico.

[@_Devil]

This is why an RDR1 remake to hold us over to GTA6 wouldve made the most sense. Not only would people then be able to experience Red Dead on the 9th gen, but us PC folks would also be able to without emulating. But on top of that, they also couldve had portions of the RDR2 map in the distance to keep the lore consistent. Maybe have the Montana River be flooded from a storm or something in-universe to make a reason why John cant go back across or something.

[@nixrs1441]

I always thought that the place where you modify your character online was in Hennigan's Stead, but I never imagined that it was off the map all this time 😯 :0

[@NEXIUSHD]

Thanks for uploading this, I always wanted to know if there was something on the other side but since I play on a console it becomes more difficult

[@vpxr]

lol u have to play on console cuz this game didn't release on PCs

[@HEKVT]

They did a pretty good job adapting whatever mess of terrain they had in the edge of the map in RDR1 and making it into a coherent map in 2. Wish the PC port would bring some kind of references or updates to the map from 2, but likely it'll be a 60 fps patch for 50 bucks like PS5 version was, plus, they're all working on GTA 6 so unlikely they have the time to update 1.

[@robbyraystewart6978]

I never noticed the snowy mountains over that way. I also love how there is a big valley there too, makes it clear why they made that part of the map like it is in RDR2.

[@wapwap68]

Bro it's crazy to think u ain't only at the end of map, u are just visiting the american eastern

What

[@pinetreepizza]

​@@Skiivin That's what I said.

[@jdbatx]

What does this even mean?

[@TrexAintaChicken]

"American eastern" like it isn't literally just northern West Elizabeth and the heartlands. That's like calling Colorado the east

[@Skiivin]

@@TrexAintaChicken it’s weird because the heartlands is supposed to be the Dakotas, West Elizabeth is supposed to be Texas, Ambarino is supposed to be like Colorado and Roanoke and the eastern reaches of the grizzlies are supposed to be Appalachia

[@CantRead1]

Beyond the map is like looking at a extremely underdeveloped RDR2.

[@HithereJimHerald]

I remember in online near the top of the map at the train tunnel, I think you either jumped or shot your horse while riding into the left beam of the tunnel to shoot on the mountain, then there was a tree you could jump through and walk thhrough the snow until falling through the map

[@ornix5761]

It's weird how they kinda had an idea for a part of the rdr2 map drawn out during the development of rdr1

[@I_HAVE_LUMBAGO]

Even rockstar never thought of the red dead 2 map yet it wouldn't make since for the roads going past the river just to dissappear why not just make the invisible sniper

@user-ck8fj9zg3u I still would wanna see the road that led to there in RDR1

[@Arm2tr0ng]

@@iceman1287not all out of bound areas are rendered in, only some. Modern day Big Valley and south of Diez Coronas are the most I guess you can say developed out of bound locations. Everywhere else you can take 10 steps and you fall through the map. The rock formation that blocks you from going north past Dutch’s camp has zero collision once you get on top of it. And the way RDR1 was developed the horizon has this weird drag effect that looks like an acid trip so, the dam and the lake can’t even reached at all in 1.
