Red Dead Redemption 2 Map

[haris_fsk]

i know size wise RDR2 map is smaller compared to GTA V but does it feel large enough in the game? i mean in GTA V we have a super Car but in RDR2 we have a horse.
P.S i recently bought the game so thats why i am asking thanks.

It sure feels larger than gta 5 just because it only has horses. I would say 1/3 of the map also is locked behind progression still...

It feels to large at times. But fasttravel fixes it.

I think its large enough, takes quite a while get from one side to the other. Plus each area seems large enough to feel its own place and naturally merge into other places.... well sort off. They do use rivers to neatly separate places.

What makes it feel a bit small though is how they've tried to compress basically half of the United States (everything from snow-covered mountains and barren deserts to Florida-like swampy areas) into a single, rather small map.

RDR2's map is bigger that GTA V. It is the biggest map to date they have made.

it's actually not 75Km in size

It's bigger than GTA V though, which is amazing, since it takes longer on horse back.

Bro you are so very wrong. RDR2's map is bigger than GTA 5.

According to the map size on google it says 75KM for RDR2 and 127KM for GTA V (Including Water)

Doesn't prove anything really. But, I really don't care at the end of the day. I could like 3 other articles that 'proves' otherwise, and another 3 that disproves the other 3.

Unless R* really says anything and we know the exact measures its still up in the air. Both maps are very large with plenty to do though.

Regardless if the RDR2 map is larger or smaller it IS for me, more packed with content. Specially since you have to travel at horse back, what surprises me is the amount of content, random events, wild life, stranger's quests, named places to explore with some lore into them. Good stuff.

No one cares about the water, landmass is what counts and RDR2 has more.

What in GTA5O water counts there are many missions that are water based. Its about total map size PERIOD. Red dead could have used the waters more IF they wanted too.

The stupid land set up in rdr2 where they make sure you can't make short cuts because your horse says no, so you have to ride around in zig zag just to go a short distance is annoying as hell.

dude, is this going to be the "sony vs xbox" of maps sizes?

Fast travel

You can't make short cuts? Do you even now how to walk if you can't find shortcuts? And, yeah, lets all expect straight highways during the old west, that sounds reasonable. Want a straight line? Pick a railroad, you can get about anywhere using those.

Edit - On second thought, let me elaborate why I love this game's map. It was created with such a detail that you scarcely needs a mini map. I'm able to find most way, just by finding a higher up position and compare landmarks, and from up there track main paths and shortcuts with ease.
