RDR2 | Map Changes 1899/1907 vs 1911 (RDR vs RDR2)

A look at the changes the world goes from game to game (1899/1907 to 1911)
This was something that has been requested the most. Although I have already done comparison videos of New Austin on the channel. I decided to put them all together into one video but Instead of using footage I already had and used, I went back and re-recorded everything so its more like the Previous Map Changes video.

New Austin wasn't planned to be on RDR2 at all, it was a very late addition and it really shows. It's just a barren wasteland like everything north of Los Santos in GTA V. Rockstar should focus on smaller maps. The difference between the new RDR 2 areas and New Austin is night and day. They should've at least left Mexico available to explore, even if John Marston claimed to have never visited it by 1911, or finish Guarma and let us be able to travel there whenever we wanted.

Sammexp you have to play the first game to know what happened to tumbleweed. The railway was built to armadillo which then had better law enforcement. And people moved from tumbleweed which is in a canyon so it could easily be raided by bandits. Which is what happened. Bandits killed the remaining people and it is run down in rdr1 1911 and rdr2 1907 because they only made one version of the map 1899 since you were originally gonna be able to go there as Arthur.

From the videos I've seen looking at the development of the map the entirety of New Austin was added very late in development and the entire northern area of the map was shuffled multiple times late in development. Mexico was likely just modeled for looks and was never intended to be a playable area.

Shame we didnt get to see what happened to the Serendipity in RDR2. I suppose it was sunk by Dutchs Gang some time between 1907 and 1911 but I would have liked to have seen what happened to it.

[@bobbyberro8107]

Connor Leonard Ik that’s the thing I wanted to see most from Rdr2

[@fadedflame2537]

You have wrong info brother, the serendipity was going upriver when it hit shallow water, it was told by authorities of Blackwater to stay and float, this caused the boat to take on large amounts of water and they made an emergency docking at a dock that was too shallow and small, with the extra damage made from the dock, the ferry company deemed it a lost cost and let it sit and rot, I think you’re thinking about the line that the fbi guy says that he thinks Dutch’s “new” gang is hiding out

[@bobbyberro8107]

FadedFlame I would say it gets confused with the boat Dutches gang robbed just before the events of the first game where John gets shot and Dutch shoots that girl Like before the first game came out and we didn’t know it was a bank robbery on the boat it was speculated that this event took place on the serendipity so personally I was very excited to see how it got there and if Dutch’s Gang was in any way involved I hope we get to see the events in a Red dead Online update or something? Like if the online world skipped ahead until after 1907

[@fadedflame2537]

You only showed the 1907 rdr2 version, when you’re completely missing out on black water details from 1899 like the bank not even being built yet and the saloon under different management

@@Ryanbros I played the second game first and I am finding the first one incredibly frustrating. not just poor graphics, but poor controls, and the inability to save my game anywhere has me losing progress constantly. I'll spend a long time performing some task, and then before I can find a place to make camp, my horse will die, or I'll fail some random encounter, and have to do everything again. the game is so unplayable that I genuinely don't know how it got a sequel. but remaking it in the second game's engine could solve all those problems

Rio bravo doesn't feel the same in RDR2. I barely ever went to Rio Bravo in RDR1, less I was passing into mexico due to the lack of things to do and the difficult terrain. In RDR2 and RDO, I spend a whole lot of time there. Strangely there's even less content in RDR2 there compared to 1, but something about the red rock and green trees just gets me passing through there instead of cholla springs on my way to tumbleweed.

[@ogloc320]

New Austin has no benefit in the story of the second game , nor have the developers focused on building a new, map and more states, and they have done an amazing job, so I do not understand why you are so attached to New Austin, as if the lack of focus on it is one of the defects of the second game , and this is truly foolish and unfair to the game. Just enjoy. In the rest of the map, it is very simple. There is no benefit from New Austin in the story of the game, and the first game focused on it, and the events took place there, so there is no need to focus on it again, and they decided to develop a new and diverse world., it is a new game, not a remastered of the first game , and if you are so attached to the state, just go and play the first game . The story takes place there
