I really appreciate how slow this game is. I have never traveled by foot in GTA v, I’m always choosing the fastest route and vehicle to get to my destination. RDR2 gives the player reasons to explore every shack, check every drawer and go off the beaten path. Whether is foraging, hunting, fishing, looting, gang shootouts, stranger missions or simply exploring the landscapes. I’m really hoping rockstar continues this franchise and continue making a game where the player is encouraged to seek out every inch of their beautiful maps.
Finding 7 cents in a drawer is not a reason to check every drawer. In fact, finding ‘nothing’ made me loathe the cumbersome process to the point i stopped doing it.
That's a good example why too much fast travel is bad and going too fast is too. You wanna make a player to enjoy the experience too, gta also does this well with good handling cars, they are fun to drive but horse makes it even better as the map doesn't need to be big to feel big. Like first 30h it felt like the map never stops. Also smart decision to add fast travel later as you don't want to ride the same journey 50th time but first time, 3rd time, you shouldn't have fast travel, it's better without. (pss.. they also said they will continue if the game made profit and I think it did, it was expensive as rockstar games are, you need really good sales every time)
@@Vvopat96 RDR2 is an example of a perfect way to implement fast travel that makes sense in the story. The time of day changes. Even if you want to autopilot to the destination instead to take a break for a bit you can do that too in the cinematic mode.
The only thing they missed on this game was having more to do in Amberino. Beautiful mountains and snow. There could have been a small village with a general store and saloon there.
@@bearcat. I guess that's you. It was my perfect place to farm bounty hunter loot. To each their own. Could have been one small shack and a few cabins.
@@bearcat.still wish they went the royal gorge route and added a massive tram and obviously the famous colorado railroad famous gorge/ once an amusement park before the fire and bridge collapse. Just saying, red rock, cool blue waters, colorado canyon city, minecraft storymode netflix edition, it could look a bit more… real. Honestly, they should work more on nebraska and our unique super flatland
If I could make Red Dead Redemption 3, I would make the main character buy a mansion in Saint Denis and have a holiday home in Strawberry. They should als include Mexico and a snowy town in the next game
After playing RDR2 this fabulous and fantastic flight gave me the feeling of COMING HOME. For every point you can see, I have a memory. It's like browsing through an old photo album. Thank you!
Nice video, I really enjoyed that. I can't quite get my head around how small the towns and Saint Denis look from the air. I think being immersed in the world and the fact there was just so much to do in it made them feel so much larger in game. The detail and density of the wilderness is incredible and some of the shots and locations look so realistic, its amazing. Truly one of the best games ever made.
Flying with the balloon was one of my favorite things. I loved to see this world from high above and unfortunately it's only a short moment to enjoy these wonderful landscapes. Thank you for posting! ❤
Crazy that it’s a solid 20-30 minutes traversing by horse from one end of the map to the other. Such a dense game, even after 6 years I can’t help but always stop when I see a random encounter, or hear a funny discussion from the locals. I love roleplaying and setting off, nothing but my horse and rifle and hunting my dinner. Or staying in a hotel and taking a hot bath, eating from whatever they have in the menu then a few whiskeys or beers and heading back out into the wilderness.
If you get the change to travel by plane, look down from the window, it's the same feeling, I got the impression my hometown is massive but shit was miniscule
This tour really shows how brilliantly Rockstar uses sightlines and the terrain to make the map seem even bigger then it really is. It's clear they've extensively playtested to make sure that you can't see the snowcapped mountains of Ambarino from Roanoke Ridge, or the bayous of Lemoyne from the Heartlands. In many games, mashing together such disparate environments like swamps and deserts gives the map a disjointed or unrealistic feeling, but RDR2 somehow avoids this problem.
You missed the whole area of The Three Sisters, O’Creagh’s Run, and the northern part of Grizzlies East where The Loft and Fairytale Shanty is... it’s so beautiful up there. Also, the gorgeous area of Big Vallley where Little Creek River runs through, up by Pronghorn Ranch. You also missed all of Tall Trees, which is where Manzanita Post is. The spot you thought might be it was actually Beecher’s Hope, which is located in The Great Plains.
this was a time when youtube's algorithm tended to 'punish' my channel if I make videos longer than 15 mins and the viewers dropped off halfway through the video, so I had to make this tour short (less than 15 mins) and trying to cover the entire map within that timeframe (as seen with the route with the map overview at the start of the video) recently, the algorithm seems to have changed again, no longer punishing me for long videos even if viewers left halfway, so I might make a new and slightly longer video with more landmarks covered (and indicated more accurately next time coz I made some mistakes here) 😄
I like turning off the compass when in free mode. I like to see if I can figure out where I am when it new territory. After player for 4 years, I found meteor crater for the first time. People make videos finding things I still had not yet found, and I've played this game for 500+ hours. This is what an open world feels like. It is limited, but in its limit there is a whole world to explore.
the fact that this is all fully traversable is nothing short awesome! I think you could show this to the most hardened or ignorant video game cynic, tell them they can walk across this in first person view, and they'd be pretty intrigued.
This guy discovered a hidden unicorn in RDR2 and showed us the whole map, nice. Honestly, the way the camera moves seems like you're riding through the sky.
Thank you for the kind and fun comment, my friend! I've been receiving a handful of rude comments mocking the mistakes I made when pointing out certain locations. Admittedly, even now I am still new to RDR2, but I did my best (spending up to 10 minutes) per each point of interest and trying to track their location in the game map. Sadly, I still made mistakes, and other people mocked me for it. But nice comments like yours have successfully neutralized the bad vibes given by the rude commenters. So, thank you and bless you, friend! :)
In real life - and in game - it's always amazed me how big spaces feel small when you use fast travel or rapid transportation. But when you slow down and take it in at a relaxed pace, it becomes enormous.
because the only official fast mode to reach places is by horse or trains, the journey takes a lot longer than with a modern airplane, that's why the map feels so much bigger than it is.
I wish the map was a little longer in the north-south direction 😔 Edit:I mean from Saint Denis to waterfall in northernmost point of Roanoke Ridge is just several minutes of horse riding.It's kinda immersion breaking.
Should do another one where the camera angle is aimed down more to look into the aread instead of at the horizon. just a suggestion. thanks for the Tour
It feels like watching one episode of "world seen from above". Don't know if you know about this TV show, but it's really relaxing and informative. Liked it!
For a player that was very much attached to playing RDR2, I find this video very nicely done! Thanks for making us live the memories of how good was playing this game. By the way, when you say at the minute 10:11 "Manzanita Post? or Fort Riggs?" It is neither because it is Beecher's Hope.
If no one's offered to take this video and apply some image stabilization to take out the "galloping" camera shake - consider this an offer 😉 Beautiful btw! And thank you!
Anyone else think Blackwater is underrated? lol I love that John moved the family to that area.. I think Blackwater is nice. Nicer than Valentine but not as smoggy and bustling as Saint Denis😅
Now I want someone to make a western city builder. Imagine it starts out like the Oregon trail and the end game is modern day or maybe even the future.
Pro tip: watch at 0.5x or even 0.25x speed. This video goes way too fast for me because I want to actually savor the view and have time to see things before they're gone. So happy YT lets me change the speed.
I found a new trainer which lets me adjust the noclip speed (and also without the nausea-inducing swaying), and I can't wait to remake this flying tour :D I just have to memorize the map coz I screwed up badly with the locations lol
This is something very interesting that I've been thinking about for years! It's the exact same in GTA 5, but if you've played it a lot it's harder to see. There is some visual effect or optic illusion that Rockstar Games has MASTERED in their world development, I don't understand exactly how it works but here's what I know (that you can test for yourself): The closer you are to the bottom/sea level of a map (not sure if terrain/mountains affect this), the further away things in the distance seem. The higher you go, the closer these things seem and everything looks smaller. I noticed this perhaps 6-7 years ago when I wanted to impress my sister by showing her how crazy technology has become with gaming (when I finally had a good gaming computer and GTA5 was released on PC). I told her to just look at how massive "Los Angeles" was in the game, and she asked if it was just a backdrop or if we actually could go there. I said of course we can, and she wanted to see the mountain due west of Los Santos (close to the Malibu area). When we were on the groun by the cargo piers, this mountain looked like it was well over 10KM (~16 miles) away. Then I spawned a helicopter to fly us there and to show her the city on the way, and then we both noticed how the mountain almost zoomed in on us. The whole map got a lot smaller with just a little altitude...! Then I flew down again and it was like the mountain and everything else zoomed out again, now it looked massive? It is the same system in place in RDR2, but the reason we notice it more is because we never travel by air in it, unlike GTA. I have no idea how exactly this effect works, but it's truly amazing how such they can make something look so much further away. Perhaps I will upload a video to display this, I find it quite interesting
RE: your channel name Kattenbak is the Dutch word for a litter box (for cats). The same word is also a synonym for the kofferbak, that is, the boot (or trunk) of a car. I'm not exactly sure what Katzenwagen means (I assume it's German), but Google tells me it means "cat cart," whatever that is, maybe a pram (or buggy / stroller) for cats (instead of babies)? but that it is also the name of one of the minor bosses in the video game Cuphead.
Honestly depends imo,there are many car centric open world games with smaller maps than RDR2.All GTA games(aside from GTA 5),all Watch Dogs and Saints Row games have smaller maps than RDR2.
You also need to remember the fastest transport in this game is by horse. Horses aren’t as fast as cars. It takes about 20 minutes to travel from Tumbleweed to Annesburg by horse and 2 hours 15 minutes by walking.
Incredible! Cound you do another one for the inaccessible areas like Mexico and the mountains besides Ambarino, you could also do it in Guarma? Greetings from Brazil!
lol the town burned down is what happened most players know some even from the beginning of the game if they got curious and wanted to explore that once town in Chapter 2 you can find your first gold bar there. Another fire happened down the path a woods fire all the trees burned
I enjoyed seeing this! So, from the head movement, I assume that basically, you made the player character 10x taller and switched to first person? (I have no real knowledge about the mods and the PC version). I would have liked to see the framing looking down a bit, a little less sky, you know? Also, pity we didn't see guarma, I think it is accessible south of that unmapped landmass Either way, cool! Interesting to see that nice weather throughout, it was either forced or it struggled to keep up with the player movement! Post effects to each area were also easier to notice :) great work!
If you could only get the voice actors to comment like the show Ariel America would be really funny. Give little history tidbits of the history we learned in the game and the history that the game created as we played. Just a thought to your awesome video.
I love how from the air the map feels so small

That map is bigger than the GTA Online map.
You must be flying the world's first helicopter ever invented. Amazing
This is like if RDR2 was a Superman game
Great video, thanks! really nice to watch 🤠
The most beautiful game ever made
5:56
Thats the burned out town. In the sheriffs building thats where i did the gold bar hack for one month straight and got 500K
Very nice video. I really enjoyed seeing everything from the air. Thank you very much
The location you couldn't identify is Beechers Hope, John's ranch.
This is not a game its in real this is why rdr2 is a masterpeace
Amazing view even though its just a game
Is this the hot air balloon?
No, likely flying mode on rampage mod or similar
They should make a sort of sim city type game using this engine it would be awesome
lol the town burned down is what happened most players know some even from the beginning of the game if they got curious and wanted to explore that once town in Chapter 2 you can find your first gold bar there. Another fire happened down the path a woods fire all the trees burned
You broke the game's magic and sense of giant world
I enjoyed seeing this! So, from the head movement, I assume that basically, you made the player character 10x taller and switched to first person? (I have no real knowledge about the mods and the PC version).
I would have liked to see the framing looking down a bit, a little less sky, you know? Also, pity we didn't see guarma, I think it is accessible south of that unmapped landmass
Either way, cool! Interesting to see that nice weather throughout, it was either forced or it struggled to keep up with the player movement! Post effects to each area were also easier to notice :)
great work!
If you could only get the voice actors to comment like the show Ariel America would be really funny. Give little history tidbits of the history we learned in the game and the history that the game created as we played. Just a thought to your awesome video.
