Watching these comparisons is so hard for me because I miss the first game so much more. I miss Mexico man, Chuparosa, Escalara MAN THE MEMORIES FLOODING BACK. The first game was kinda like a mid childhood for me, I was in my teens. Going back and looking at Blackwater unfinished like the bank not accessible and the police station not even built yet. The sad part is Blackwater looked the same when you played Arthur however eight years later with John in 1907 no progress has happened,, I was hoping that the bank and police station would become accessible and the old station would become something else.
Snow hate to reply two months after your comment, but yes you’re not supposed to go into blackwater with Arthur but in chapter 2 you free Sean nearby and actually use binoculars to see the town, so it’s kinda in the player’s face that there wasn’t any progress from 1899-1907

Everything in this video was perfect. The music and the changes of the landscape, the seasons and river how there’s more water that took over the parts of land John would cross over to.
I love the changes in RDR2 of making the Lower Montana River more easy to cross and making Tall Trees more lush and full of vegetation. Great comparison video homie!
This is such a good a good comparison video. This is the first comparison video I seen where the characters aren't galloping past everything at full speed while being out of sync.
Does anybody else remember how in red dead 1 there was constantly a cougar spawning right outside beechers hope entrance and it’s like that in red dead 2 too? Funny how they kept that in
OMG the memories I have for RDR 1. It is one of Rockstars games I adored and will always have a memory to it, the same with GTA San Andreas. Back in 2011 that game seemed so ahead of its time. All the NPCS had names on the wiki and that was the first game I remember with the shops closing at night. Tumbleweed was so creepy but Roanoke Ridge takes the cake with creepy now. John is still my favorite but I will always love Arthur.
@@enricod.7198 was there a need for Mexico though, it would be a nice bonus just like New Austin but even New Austin plays little story importance. I’d love to see it in a dlc if they ever make one though
While Playing in west Elizabeth and New Austin in rdr2 I felt that those places where a larger in Rdr1. Actually if you stand on Crooked Trees and face east towards Blackwater, you can't see the town. Now, in rdr2 if you stand onthe same place you can see Blackwater...anybody felt the same? Also, the road from thieves landing to mcfarlanes ranch seems longer un rdr1 than in rdr2...is it just me or anybody felt the same? Great vid by the way...
It's weird seeing all those locations that are just empty land that haven't been built on yet: thieves landing, cochinay fort, Pacific Union, blackwater station, mexican-american bridges, McFarlane's barn etc
@Nick Webb Not an entire state, in the early 20th century might I add, changing so drastically that one of its plague-ridden towns becomes booming, its other town is abandoned and presumably haunted, multiple railoads are built, a ranch becomes rife with a functional stores and a completed barn, and a gang hideout turns into a little thriving port.
At the part when it shows the upper montana river, it's a little bit weird seeing in red dead redemption on the the other side is all plane sight and then some like mountain range but in the second game it's way more deveped like cliffs, trees...
Playing RDR2 for the first time I really thought the incident that made the gang run away was related to the steam boat at Serendipity. I was really dissapointed when the boat wasn't there once they let you go back to West Elisabeth.
Guillermo Blanco Yeah I’ve heard that from other people before, is there a mention of it? I also remember hearing 1906 as the year of the Blackwater heist before RDR2 came out and I’m not sure where that came from. Are there references in RDR1?
It's been years, long years between my play of rdr and now rdr2, but when I had a chance (and regreted it, because with arthur the rdr2 kinda died as well to me)... Visiting those places that in theory John would visit had so many signs of stuff I remembered it was like moving in the past (despite moving forward in time lore wise). Almost like visiting your old birthplace after years of being gone. Everything beyond blocked West Elizabeth was like a total throw back with mixture of seeing that place not only how you used to remember it, but how your parents remembered it as well. It's... Weird experience.
they would retcon and change west elizabeth even more in rdr3, unless the rdr2 version is the definitive look and no changes for it in rdr3 besides out of boundaries.
I think a cool idea for a sequel would be Jack Marston drafted into WW1 and have a trench warfare setting be a linear first section of the game (similar to Guarma in RDR2) he gets dishonorable discharge from the army for doing something morally right but wrong in the eyes of the military (saving a German etc) he goes to Jail for the remainder of the war, when he gets out say 1919 Beechers Hope has been repossessed by the government or the bank and he has to rob or work with the government to get it back.
Am I the only one that likes rdr1 graphics more? They felt like they were based off a comic which was pretty cool.bi dont really like the new version with realistic graphics.

Funnily enough it's actually the opposite when it comes to travel time at least. In RDR2 those areas take longer to travel.
Might just be render distance and horse speed variation between games.
Shay Ó Laoghaire horses are faster on roads sure but you go 1 meter off the path and it’s like half the speed
It's called draw distance.
It's because of render distance. Your console can render more chunks so you can see more
Wow for a 2010 game the graphics weren’t bad at all!! Rockstar be ahead of everyone man 😭👏🏻
X CELEBRITY CRUISES X ya. I know. Thanks for stating the obvious. ( saying this in the most genuinely politest way)

This is a great example showing the immense leaps in technology and how much video games have improved.

Yuep. RDR2 takes place in 1899/1907 and RDR1 is set in 1911.
