Ye I never understood why they didn’t change John’s hair. I mean the developers were sooo precise on all other details except for this fucking thing. Like just why?!
And they were with John as well, they just cut it all. He originally had his own model, hairstyles, animations, and looks for different weight levels. The model can be seen in the pre-release screenshots.
You really think they are going to fix anything not game breaking in story mode? Hell i can’t even play five finger fillet properly because where the time is it just says “Message” and that has been years since that bug has been there. If they won’t fix anything that small i highly doubt they will do anything with John.
The worst part for me is that they did go that extra step and made his own playable model (which can be seen in pre-release shots), animations, hairstyles, and looks for different weight levels but cut all of it and replaced it with what we got instead.
Which is nuts, considering that they had already made Johns lore accurate model. The change seems so unnecessary and odd and... FWW, I know, but, kinda ruins playing as him a bit.

@@Uncle1278ye I get that they ruined John but idk why these people act as if Rockstar just committed some unforgivable sin and RDR2 isn't their best game ever
What if Arthurs spirit became attached to John Marston, after his death, and serectly took over John Martsons body to live once more to get revenge on Micha and Dutch...? Just a theory... Also alot of people did enjoy play as Arthur Morgan, so maybe Rockstar decided to make John look more like Arthur, so that could be why John Martson, looks more like Arthur Morgan.
I'm not sure if this is a joke and if it is, then fair enough. But why would Arthur's spirit posses his body and then leave again just in time for RDR1's events. Also how would Rockstar know that people would enjoy playing as Arthur as much they did that they'd change John in advance to look like him. For all they know people dislike him, find him lame or are mostly apathetic and they just changed the other already beloved protagonist to look like him. Because in the now, we have people who are very annoyed that they did.
@@Addmeyeahthey released the gta 6 trailer a year ago, they are focusing on making gta 6 now, they can’t afford to do 2 separate projects at once, especially on how on demand gta 6 is, plus they probably have a deadline too, which is why rdr2 had to cut a bunch of stuff including the entire guarma island and other gunslingers.
@@NeganSmith24its not just the face, have you even watched the video? And no he doesnt look amazing. Just because you are a arthur fanboy doesnt mean the facts are not there
@@kenjaeger1162 I played rdr1 too and loved it, just the same as everyone else when rdr2 came out and before, I wanted to play as John and not Arthur. I still like John more to this day, so you’re wrong on that. And in my opinion rdr2 John being a bit inaccurate along with his body, I don’t really care since rockstar already gave us so much in the game and a few issues is nothing.
It does. I do It on my game. Ill try to explain the steps. 1 - leave your ps4 storage almost full, just around the size of the game without updates. For rdr2, you'll need to leave around 100gb of free storage (I only know how to do It on the ps4, you can try something similar on xbox tho). 2- start the game's download. 3- the download will fail for not enough free storage. 4- here you'll need to be fast and start the trick. Go to download management, click on "continue" to start the download and then fast while it loads the download, click on it again and pause download. 5- Go to the console connection part on configs and turn the internet connection off. 6- Go back to download management and click to continue the download. 7- Go back to configs, connection and turn on the internet connection again. 8- done, just wait the download.
i bet if rockstar had at most one more year to work on the game it would be so much better. better epilogue john, full guarma (there was supposed to be 3 chapters and a massive map to explore in guarma) would be such a good game
the main reason i had mods was how unoriginal john was he's just arthur with a black hair with john's face put on with surgery along with his vocal cords and acts like he can't swim mods make it so you both get his animations and body shape
Yes tbh I'd be fine with playing on 1.0 especially since alot of fun glitches can be done. But it sucks not having the lemat revolver and evans repeater in story mode in 1.0
As a John Marston fanboy, it pains me that I can’t have that restored model and RDR1 animations from PC because I play on PS. Maybe someday they will fix it
What’s incredible to me is that they had a somewhat accurate model in the epilogue (it wasn’t perfect), but they retroactively changed it to just be identical to Arthur. Rushed content is one thing, but having a passable product and then deciding to go even further incorrectly is just mind numbing
Idk or understand how they managed to let you play as three different characters with completely different models in gta 5 and simultaneously switch between them at any given time but they couldn't give us a proper John with his original character model 6 years later??? Shame on Rockstar they sold out and Gta 6 wont be as good as people think, sad but true.
Facts. GTA6 is going to be some kind of MKUltra manipulation thing, they know like 80% of young men will play it at some point…they (3 letter agencies) are going to do something dark with it.
You people are acting like this ruins the game. Rdr2 is still a masterpiece, you’re just nitpicking about how John looks a bit different even though you play as John for far less time than you play Arthur(at least for the average player who after finishing the story will probably put the game down)
Great video! I did know about his hair and his missing outfits but that was it. Seeing all this is just really upsetting, but im going to get a pc soon so im going to be able to mod john 😃
Epilogue isn’t really that rushed. The whole point of it is to do a solid job of explaining events that lead to the first name. We get 20 missions that showcases John settling down and becoming fully committed to his family, why the agents find him, why he and Dutch don’t completely hate each other even after chapter 6, and the farm being built all in that time. It’s rushed a little, but even then that’s an over exaggeration. Too much filler makes a story lag. It does its job well. Guarma on the other hand was a bit rushed, but even then, the way the story was set up makes sense why they leave quick
its really crazy to understand that they had originally more normal looking John from the release, but then with patches they intentionally started to make him more worse, or to be exact, more Arthur-like
Man rockstars fucked up the real john Marston they ruined his hair gave arthurs only darker and didn't keep his chapter 1,2,3,4,5,6 outfits damn you rockstars
Wait, let me see if I understand. So the model of John that we control in the epilogue, is not the same one that we see throughout the game while we control Arthur?
@@JohnMarston004 Since I saw this video, I can't help but notice it, before I practically didn't realize it, but now I do. I uses the same haircut and beard style that i used with Arthur and he looks pretty much like him but with black hair color.
@@misterx9854 Yeah its really annoying. If you're on pc you can install the mods i mentioned and if you're on console you can revert the version to 1.00 if you have the physical copy. John looks better in version 1.00
The first time i played the epilogue i could see some weird details on John face (Dark, dark tone hair, big face like Arthur's, and a weak beard). then i found out that they just copy n paste arthur's body (while having the John NPC model alr finished). Here where i live everyone says that RDR2 is the perfect game with no flaws, while having an abomination of character model
Epilogue John on consoles is awful. Never understood why they didn't keep his NPC face. I tried to make him look like RDR 1 John with the duster coat, but it really looked off.
They really butchered John bc wtf was rockstar on? I remember being so excited to be playing as John but the next thing I know, he has mostly if not all of Arthur’s features just copy pasted onto him like you said. I guess the best thing for me as a console player is to make him look like John by giving him the longer length 5 hair right parted with the length 2 or 3 stubble or giving him a more defined mustache like the pencil one. If they decide to remaster the game on next gen like for the ps5, rockstar should definitely put reworking on Marston at the top of their list.
Genuine question because I’m not sure how much goes into game development If they have a fully functional NPC model why couldn’t they just copy and paste that model onto the playable version?
"If rockstar cared about their fans" i think thats a very unfair thing to say. We are talking about one of the most detalied games any of us have ever played
Yes the individual developers that made all the details are great but we are talking about the overall whole company and rockstar doesnt care about their fans anymore. Just look at this video for example, if they would really care they would have updated the game and made john better but they just made him worse trough updates. Or look at red dead online
Everyone talks about his hairline, thick neck and body, but there’s something off with his eyes… they never looked right on RDR2, on RDR1 they look bigger (wider maybe?), his eyelids seem different and that’s what makes him look so weird, I know he is supposed to look younger, but what about the epilogue? It’s 1907 so It wouldn’t be that different from his 1911 self. You could say it’s his “angry” expression on the first model, but if you played the first one, hi does different expressions, so that’s not the reason The perfect example for this would be, RDR1 Marston eyes look more like 2007 Undertaker (without eyeliner obviously) And RDR2 Marston eyes look more like Brock Lesnar’s (like bulky or something like that)
Another thing I didn’t like was that John is jacked like Arthur in the epilogue but he has an average build in the main story and RD1. It gets old with the trend of having main characters be jacked up and curvy over actually looking like real people
Not even. The game removed and nerfed a bunch of features from rdr1 and previous Rockstar staples for no reason whatsoever, slower animations and worse gameplay. The only thing perfect are the graphics and character stories, which isn’t much since it’s standard for rockstar titles. Also How tf do you mess up the model of the Main Character of the Franchise?? The game ain’t perfect
When you have 40+ hours of game programming with one character, it would be really hard to adapt the game to the new model, so they just changed the model in minute but noticeable ways so the game works. I happened to notice the changes first with the way his hair grows not being able to grow out into what he has in the first game or before the epilogue
I just wish there was something WE can do to make rockstar release a patch to fix John, I wish we didn’t have to rely on mods, console players deserves the REAL John Marston :(
It is so painful to accept that this is the John Marston we got. But I can’t help but think that maybe Rockstar planned this to give modders something to do. But that really sucks for people like me that just wanna play on a PS5 and not a f**king PC!!!!!
im not gonna lie. I completely understand the outfit situation, but everything else is lazy and strange. My vouch for outfits is that he probably wanted to forget about his past life and move on from what he used to do.
Rockstar if you don’t wanna fix something you easily can, just ask modders if they can fix it and add it to a new patch. it’s that simple, no one cares about growing hair or 1 item clipping through other clothes man. Just give console players 1899 john.
I just experienced Arthur's death yesterday. Still recovering 👍 So I started playing as john a few hours ago. The first thing I noticed was how different his body is in the epilogue. I thought, "damn marston, you've been working hard... look kinda similar to someone, idk who tho.." I didn't give it much thought afterwards since I never played the first game and it's understandable if he changed this much in 4 years. When I finally watched your video, it finally clicked holy shit, he's jarthur morgston. (sorry if my english is terrible. not my first language 🙏)
A lot of the game had to be trimmed, cut, or otherwise abandoned due to time constrants to get the game out by release schedule. The epilogue was one of those things, apparently according to Rob Weithoff, the epilogue might not have been planned from the beginning. Initially John was going to have the 1899 hair style in the epilogue, but they needed him to have the same customization potential as Arthur, so they redesigned his face to better match Arthur's hairstyles, dyed the hair dark gray, and called it a day. As for John not acting like John from Redemption 1, my theory is they wanted the player to prefer Arthur so they go back and play the game again or something along those lines. John is portrayed as a naive man that doesn't know a lot about a lot of things. Epilogue dialogue makes you think John doesn't even know what bounty hunters are. For example: "I work for the government... err sort of." that sort of stuff. It takes away from the stoic badass we know from the first game, and while technically yeah there's no reason they can't be the same person with a little offcamera character development, thats kinda the important character development that should've been on screen. We see a lot of how John went from outlaw to rancher, but not how he went from punk kid that doesn't know what he's doing to sarcastic badass that requires the actual fuckin army to take down. That's the character growth we would've wanted to see more of, and it happened off camera in the four years before Red dead 1, despite the 8 years prior to the epilogue where that development could've started. tldr: the epilogue isn't about john or his own personal character development. its more fan service to link the games better, focusing more on the story aspect. we find it boring because its just a lot of ranching and idle work, with a few action sections sprinkled here and there, which would work well if it focused more on the characters and fleshed them out more, made them more human and thorough. making john dull works to the epilogue's detriment because it's not very action packed, so we can't ignore it if we tried. i think thats partly on purpose to encourage the player to prefer Arthur. Had we gotten a more red dead 1-like john marston in the epilogue, Arthur would be a little less impactful as we get to play as our beloved john marston again. Though obviously Arthur would still be just as loved, perhaps Rockstar was preparing for the worst, so they dumbed John down to make Arthur seem better by comparison.
Rockstar are lucky that most RDR2 fans were too young to have played the first one. There would've been outrage otherwise. Not that I think it's something worth needing that kind of outrage, but this did kind of go unnoticed due to how many people were completely oblivious to RDR1.
i think it has something to do with the weight system. depending on your weight, it will change your entire body to underweight, overweight, athletic, etc. i think that they didn't have enough time to add every single body style and instead just opted to instead put john's face model onto arthur's and call it a day
I get that they started to run out of time but still that doesn’t mean they couldn’t patch it later or make story dlcs that fixes if like they made the horse balls shrink in the cold but they couldn’t make John look right
Johns hair pisses me off so goddamn much cause in the mission pictures john was shown with his 1899 hair so the devs could do it but they wont, WHY. JOHNS 1899 HAIR IS SO GODDAMN BADASS, WHY ROCKSTAR, WHY
I might be over dramatic, but Im not kidding, I didnt explore even a kittle after completing the game because his character model was too hard to look at.

True, but it is their greatest game tho
@@Uncle1278ye I get that they ruined John but idk why these people act as if Rockstar just committed some unforgivable sin and RDR2 isn't their best game ever
@@Wertyber "Bring back to golden age" when we are still technically in it. They just take longer to make games.
@@usmcsnyper3148exactly GTA 6 is their biggest game yet
You gotta be the first ever RDR2 player to play the game and say "take me back to the golden days" stop being dramatic u fowl shmuck
In an alternate universe rockstar didn’t mess him up. Unfortunately not in this one
this doesn’t even mean anything lol
John's NPC hair fits him so well
What if Arthurs spirit became attached to John Marston, after his death, and serectly took over John Martsons body to live once more to get revenge on Micha and Dutch...? Just a theory... Also alot of people did enjoy play as Arthur Morgan, so maybe Rockstar decided to make John look more like Arthur, so that could be why John Martson, looks more like Arthur Morgan.
Yeah that sounds right 😂
I'm not sure if this is a joke and if it is, then fair enough. But why would Arthur's spirit posses his body and then leave again just in time for RDR1's events. Also how would Rockstar know that people would enjoy playing as Arthur as much they did that they'd change John in advance to look like him. For all they know people dislike him, find him lame or are mostly apathetic and they just changed the other already beloved protagonist to look like him. Because in the now, we have people who are very annoyed that they did.
What is bro yapping about 😂
Just stop
the pinkertons who gun him sown were actually ghost busters
Damn this is just so disappointing rockstar really fucking sold with this one
I still don't get why they refuse to update the game ?
It’s not that big of a deal lol. Stop having ocd and worrying about a simple face inaccuracy, he still looks amazing.
@@Addmeyeahthey released the gta 6 trailer a year ago, they are focusing on making gta 6 now, they can’t afford to do 2 separate projects at once, especially on how on demand gta 6 is, plus they probably have a deadline too, which is why rdr2 had to cut a bunch of stuff including the entire guarma island and other gunslingers.
@@NeganSmith24its not just the face, have you even watched the video? And no he doesnt look amazing. Just because you are a arthur fanboy doesnt mean the facts are not there
@@kenjaeger1162 I played rdr1 too and loved it, just the same as everyone else when rdr2 came out and before, I wanted to play as John and not Arthur. I still like John more to this day, so you’re wrong on that. And in my opinion rdr2 John being a bit inaccurate along with his body, I don’t really care since rockstar already gave us so much in the game and a few issues is nothing.
It does. I do It on my game. Ill try to explain the steps.
1 - leave your ps4 storage almost full, just around the size of the game without updates. For rdr2, you'll need to leave around 100gb of free storage (I only know how to do It on the ps4, you can try something similar on xbox tho).
2- start the game's download.
3- the download will fail for not enough free storage.
4- here you'll need to be fast and start the trick. Go to download management, click on "continue" to start the download and then fast while it loads the download, click on it again and pause download.
5- Go to the console connection part on configs and turn the internet connection off.
6- Go back to download management and click to continue the download.
7- Go back to configs, connection and turn on the internet connection again.
8- done, just wait the download.
@themadtitan7603 here
can ya make a video?
to do what?
What is the purpose of this
I think you commented on the wrong video
i bet if rockstar had at most one more year to work on the game it would be so much better.
better epilogue john,
full guarma (there was supposed to be 3 chapters and a massive map to explore in guarma)
would be such a good game
i remember i was kinda exited to play as john till i saw how he looked
This still hurts me every single day. Pure pain.
They were so intricate with tiny details but they got lazy over things that actually mattered make it make sense
I agree, 1899 John is way better than epilogue John.
Honestly the epilogue is really weird and more glitchy if im being honest.
John morgan
the main reason i had mods was how unoriginal john was
he's just arthur with a black hair with john's face put on with surgery along with his vocal cords
and acts like he can't swim
mods make it so you both get his animations and body shape
can you link
@@anom2619 go find them yourself they are pretty easy to find especially at nexusmods
without mods or save editor, 1.00 is the way to go for a decent half accurate john
Yes tbh I'd be fine with playing on 1.0 especially since alot of fun glitches can be done. But it sucks not having the lemat revolver and evans repeater in story mode in 1.0
As a John Marston fanboy, it pains me that I can’t have that restored model and RDR1 animations from PC because I play on PS. Maybe someday they will fix it
That's not John, That's Rip Van Winkley
What’s incredible to me is that they had a somewhat accurate model in the epilogue (it wasn’t perfect), but they retroactively changed it to just be identical to Arthur. Rushed content is one thing, but having a passable product and then deciding to go even further incorrectly is just mind numbing
What I hated about the new John is that they literally just put his face on Arthur’s body
Idk or understand how they managed to let you play as three different characters with completely different models in gta 5 and simultaneously switch between them at any given time but they couldn't give us a proper John with his original character model 6 years later??? Shame on Rockstar they sold out and Gta 6 wont be as good as people think, sad but true.
Facts. GTA6 is going to be some kind of MKUltra manipulation thing, they know like 80% of young men will play it at some point…they (3 letter agencies) are going to do something dark with it.
You people are acting like this ruins the game. Rdr2 is still a masterpiece, you’re just nitpicking about how John looks a bit different even though you play as John for far less time than you play Arthur(at least for the average player who after finishing the story will probably put the game down)
@legobatman5067 Yeah, they're commenting like this aesthetic issue ruined the game totally. Ffs just play it
Great video! I did know about his hair and his missing outfits but that was it. Seeing all this is just really upsetting, but im going to get a pc soon so im going to be able to mod john 😃
I always felt like he looked too much like Arthur. Nice video, will edit my game 😎👌
The epilouge and the guarma missions are all so rushed. John was rushed too.
I cannot understand because they DIDNT rush . They had all the time . They had GTA v online money . This just doesn't make sense
Originally they went Mexico instead of Guarma I believe
@@danielcastaneda4975Pretty sure the game had a extremely rough development, its kinda of a miracle it didnt get cancelled
Epilogue isn’t really that rushed. The whole point of it is to do a solid job of explaining events that lead to the first name. We get 20 missions that showcases John settling down and becoming fully committed to his family, why the agents find him, why he and Dutch don’t completely hate each other even after chapter 6, and the farm being built all in that time. It’s rushed a little, but even then that’s an over exaggeration. Too much filler makes a story lag. It does its job well. Guarma on the other hand was a bit rushed, but even then, the way the story was set up makes sense why they leave quick
@@danielcastaneda4975 they had already gone through multiple delays and they didn't want to delay it again so they rushed it
its really crazy to understand that they had originally more normal looking John from the release, but then with patches they intentionally started to make him more worse, or to be exact, more Arthur-like
Man rockstars fucked up the real john Marston they ruined his hair gave arthurs only darker and didn't keep his chapter 1,2,3,4,5,6 outfits damn you rockstars
I've actually emailed Rockstar about this multiple times, but they just ignore it me.
Wait, let me see if I understand. So the model of John that we control in the epilogue, is not the same one that we see throughout the game while we control Arthur?
Exactly. Its John but with many of Arthurs body parts and animations
@@JohnMarston004 Since I saw this video, I can't help but notice it, before I practically didn't realize it, but now I do. I uses the same haircut and beard style that i used with Arthur and he looks pretty much like him but with black hair color.
@@misterx9854 Yeah its really annoying. If you're on pc you can install the mods i mentioned and if you're on console you can revert the version to 1.00 if you have the physical copy. John looks better in version 1.00
Basically it's just John's texture slapped on Arthur's model
@@JohnMarston004maybe it helps you think you’re still playing as Arthur when you die as him
The first time i played the epilogue i could see some weird details on John face (Dark, dark tone hair, big face like Arthur's, and a weak beard). then i found out that they just copy n paste arthur's body (while having the John NPC model alr finished). Here where i live everyone says that RDR2 is the perfect game with no flaws, while having an abomination of character model
Epilogue John on consoles is awful. Never understood why they didn't keep his NPC face.
I tried to make him look like RDR 1 John with the duster coat, but it really looked off.
None of this makes any sense, they just kept trying to make him more like Arthur and it makes John feel more artificial.
the problem with AAA games is they take short cut when it counts. invest too much in to graphic and stupid shit like horse balls shrinking in the cold
They really butchered John bc wtf was rockstar on? I remember being so excited to be playing as John but the next thing I know, he has mostly if not all of Arthur’s features just copy pasted onto him like you said. I guess the best thing for me as a console player is to make him look like John by giving him the longer length 5 hair right parted with the length 2 or 3 stubble or giving him a more defined mustache like the pencil one. If they decide to remaster the game on next gen like for the ps5, rockstar should definitely put reworking on Marston at the top of their list.
We all hate rockstar for this... And for some other reasons too...
pearson the only real survivor of the dutch van der linde gang 💪
They could copy paste Arthur's body for john but not John's body from the previous chapters 💀
Genuine question because I’m not sure how much goes into game development
If they have a fully functional NPC model why couldn’t they just copy and paste that model onto the playable version?
"If rockstar cared about their fans" i think thats a very unfair thing to say. We are talking about one of the most detalied games any of us have ever played
Yes the individual developers that made all the details are great but we are talking about the overall whole company and rockstar doesnt care about their fans anymore. Just look at this video for example, if they would really care they would have updated the game and made john better but they just made him worse trough updates. Or look at red dead online
Absolutely false, rockstar doesn't give a damn
@kenjaeger1162 Hopefully that won’t be the same for grand theft auto six when it comes out
I don't know why they didn't just use the same npc model for the epilogue
Epilogue John mewing.🥶🥶
fuck epilouge john
Should’ve stopped him
What does that even mean? You make it sound like he meows like a cat...
@@AirGoddess1087 look it up lol
John admired Arthur so much that he physically morphed into him as much as he could in the epilogue.
You would think he would look better as a playable character than as an npc
Everyone talks about his hairline, thick neck and body, but there’s something off with his eyes… they never looked right on RDR2, on RDR1 they look bigger (wider maybe?), his eyelids seem different and that’s what makes him look so weird, I know he is supposed to look younger, but what about the epilogue? It’s 1907 so It wouldn’t be that different from his 1911 self.
You could say it’s his “angry” expression on the first model, but if you played the first one, hi does different expressions, so that’s not the reason
The perfect example for this would be, RDR1 Marston eyes look more like 2007 Undertaker (without eyeliner obviously)
And RDR2 Marston eyes look more like Brock Lesnar’s (like bulky or something like that)
Another thing I didn’t like was that John is jacked like Arthur in the epilogue but he has an average build in the main story and RD1. It gets old with the trend of having main characters be jacked up and curvy over actually looking like real people
Arthur ain’t that jacked, he looks plenty realistic. He just has a larger/wider build
Dude i replayed RDR2 and i was questioning if i was tripping because he looked like arthur now than before
does the restoration project have johns outfits from 1899? i think they are very cool
Rockstar could update the game and make John better so we don’t need to download mods to fix the game
So basically Arthur but with John's face and voice
I never understood why rockstar wanted john to look like Arthur so much the should've made him his own character not a new Arthur
It's so stupid that in a game that has such great details they decided to ruin such a simple thing.
People always find a way to complain, even in a game close to perfection.
Its John Marston which is most of players favorite character its valid to complain.
Not even. The game removed and nerfed a bunch of features from rdr1 and previous Rockstar staples for no reason whatsoever, slower animations and worse gameplay. The only thing perfect are the graphics and character stories, which isn’t much since it’s standard for rockstar titles.
Also How tf do you mess up the model of the Main Character of the Franchise?? The game ain’t perfect
Devs was having arthur withdrawal syndrome while making the epilogue
When you have 40+ hours of game programming with one character, it would be really hard to adapt the game to the new model, so they just changed the model in minute but noticeable ways so the game works. I happened to notice the changes first with the way his hair grows not being able to grow out into what he has in the first game or before the epilogue
I just wish there was something WE can do to make rockstar release a patch to fix John, I wish we didn’t have to rely on mods, console players deserves the REAL John Marston :(
epilogue johns face is so fcking wide..
Why can’t they just fix it now
they forgot about it
Its depressing how much greatness was squandered by Rockstar Games
rockstar try not to add minute details that really level up immersion in some places and then fail the most obvious thing challenge
It is so painful to accept that this is the John Marston we got. But I can’t help but think that maybe Rockstar planned this to give modders something to do. But that really sucks for people like me that just wanna play on a PS5 and not a f**king PC!!!!!
I always thought that there was something wrong with his model but didn't know what exactly
im not gonna lie. I completely understand the outfit situation, but everything else is lazy and strange. My vouch for outfits is that he probably wanted to forget about his past life and move on from what he used to do.
Never noticed all of this. Now it makes sense why Arthur's clothes fits perfectly on John.
i could ignore the beefy arthur skeleton but why the fuck would they change bros hair
They just put his face on Arthur’s body instead of just giving him the iconic model like we all would have wanted
Rockstar if you don’t wanna fix something you easily can, just ask modders if they can fix it and add it to a new patch. it’s that simple, no one cares about growing hair or 1 item clipping through other clothes man. Just give console players 1899 john.
It’s almost like they missed Arthur so much the morphed John into him
Bruh the final epilogue version of john looks like jason we got to play as jason before gta 6 💀
It’s a shame. Especially bc the John NPC outfits look so good
I just experienced Arthur's death yesterday. Still recovering 👍
So I started playing as john a few hours ago. The first thing I noticed was how different his body is in the epilogue. I thought, "damn marston, you've been working hard... look kinda similar to someone, idk who tho.." I didn't give it much thought afterwards since I never played the first game and it's understandable if he changed this much in 4 years. When I finally watched your video, it finally clicked
holy shit, he's jarthur morgston.
(sorry if my english is terrible. not my first language 🙏)
Your English is superb! It inspires me to want to improve my Spanish. What's your first language? And how did you learn to speak English so well?
A lot of the game had to be trimmed, cut, or otherwise abandoned due to time constrants to get the game out by release schedule. The epilogue was one of those things, apparently according to Rob Weithoff, the epilogue might not have been planned from the beginning. Initially John was going to have the 1899 hair style in the epilogue, but they needed him to have the same customization potential as Arthur, so they redesigned his face to better match Arthur's hairstyles, dyed the hair dark gray, and called it a day.
As for John not acting like John from Redemption 1, my theory is they wanted the player to prefer Arthur so they go back and play the game again or something along those lines. John is portrayed as a naive man that doesn't know a lot about a lot of things. Epilogue dialogue makes you think John doesn't even know what bounty hunters are. For example: "I work for the government... err sort of." that sort of stuff. It takes away from the stoic badass we know from the first game, and while technically yeah there's no reason they can't be the same person with a little offcamera character development, thats kinda the important character development that should've been on screen. We see a lot of how John went from outlaw to rancher, but not how he went from punk kid that doesn't know what he's doing to sarcastic badass that requires the actual fuckin army to take down. That's the character growth we would've wanted to see more of, and it happened off camera in the four years before Red dead 1, despite the 8 years prior to the epilogue where that development could've started.
tldr: the epilogue isn't about john or his own personal character development. its more fan service to link the games better, focusing more on the story aspect. we find it boring because its just a lot of ranching and idle work, with a few action sections sprinkled here and there, which would work well if it focused more on the characters and fleshed them out more, made them more human and thorough. making john dull works to the epilogue's detriment because it's not very action packed, so we can't ignore it if we tried. i think thats partly on purpose to encourage the player to prefer Arthur. Had we gotten a more red dead 1-like john marston in the epilogue, Arthur would be a little less impactful as we get to play as our beloved john marston again. Though obviously Arthur would still be just as loved, perhaps Rockstar was preparing for the worst, so they dumbed John down to make Arthur seem better by comparison.
Rockstar are lucky that most RDR2 fans were too young to have played the first one. There would've been outrage otherwise. Not that I think it's something worth needing that kind of outrage, but this did kind of go unnoticed due to how many people were completely oblivious to RDR1.
RD2 fans are a bit cringe
they did fuck up the hair and shoulders though
Ive seen people in rdo make characters in the creator that look more like John than rockstars version.
There is no excuse this is so confusing.
i think it has something to do with the weight system. depending on your weight, it will change your entire body to underweight, overweight, athletic, etc. i think that they didn't have enough time to add every single body style and instead just opted to instead put john's face model onto arthur's and call it a day
Lore of How Rockstar ruined John Marston momentum 100
Well what’d you expect, we got John Morgan
I mean it’s stupid they just copied and pasted John’s face on Arthur but with how well written the story was
I get that they started to run out of time but still that doesn’t mean they couldn’t patch it later or make story dlcs that fixes if like they made the horse balls shrink in the cold but they couldn’t make John look right
Johns hair pisses me off so goddamn much cause in the mission pictures john was shown with his 1899 hair so the devs could do it but they wont, WHY. JOHNS 1899 HAIR IS SO GODDAMN BADASS, WHY ROCKSTAR, WHY
why they decided to change random things to john just to piss off the whole fandom instead of just copy pasting his model, i’ll never know 😭🙏
they probably didn't do it to "disrespect john fans" but to fit all of the clothing options better since they were made for arthur and not john
I might be over dramatic, but Im not kidding, I didnt explore even a kittle after completing the game because his character model was too hard to look at.
that's not John, that's Jim Milton
Maybe if this video reached Rob Wiethoff he could say something to Rockstar?......
