RDR1 vs RDR2 Map Comparison

3 жыл бұрын

It always amazes me how accurate the American part of RDR1's map was remade and put in RDR2 and how beautiful it looks on both games. It took me quite some time to record everything, put them together properly and accurately in time, weather, locations, moving speed and directions. But seeing the final video, I think it's worth it : )
All RDR1 clips were recorded on XBOX ONE X with my capture card, and all RDR2 recordings were done on PC with RTX 2070s. I don't have the most advanced grapchics card, so I didn't turn every grapchics setting on max. But most of them were set either on max or very high, so the graphics are still at high-quality, which is pretty enough for this comparison.
Also, if there is a copyright problem to any of the songs I put in the video, please let me know and I'll remove them.
Video is originally made by myself. Hope everyone will like it!!!

Blackwater in rdr1 feels more open, and jeez I didn't realize how dark rdr2 was

@flamingmonkey7712 3 жыл бұрын

I ain't gonna lie, I was trying to make RDR1 to look as good as I could. I used cheat code to set the game to sunny weather. I think the reason why RDR2 looks dark is because of the auto brightness adjustment. Whenever it's around 12:00 to 13:00, which should be the brightest period during a day, the game turns down the brightness automatically. I think the adjustment is too much

I wish we could go inside some of the interiors from the first game. Kinda seems like New Austin was rushed…. For example you can’t enter: Ridge Wood Farm, Rathskeller Fork, the interiors in Fort Mercer, Tumbleweed Mansion, Choots Chapel, Manzanita Post, or the hotel in Blackwater.

Oh so you guys don't actually know this... Ok so yeah new austin wasn't rushed, new austin wasn't supposed to be in the game in the first place We were supposed instead to have a bigger guarma and free roam there freely without restrictions and ability to comeback For some reason Guarmas role became much smaller and they added new austin last minute and only has half of a story mission taking place there We were lucky it was there in the first place I just wished guarma stayed like originally was.

@flamingmonkey7712 2 жыл бұрын

I think a port to pc is better than a remake. Firstly I fear that they will ruin John's og personality, secondly the gameplay in the first game is more smooth and the pace is not that slow, the shooting and cover system, the wanted system are better, and the atmosphere of the graphics is more natural. Even that RDR2 is still a better and improved game indeed, but I don't want them to change RDR1 into a simple RDR2 DLC because each of them has their own up and down sides.

I have a white Arabian, but honestly don't use it much with either Arthur or John. I personally prefer big horses (not that biggest type like the one Bill rides on tho), and I think horses like white Arabians are too small and they feel like my character is riding on a pony, even tho they are fast.
