When I say I want to see a MUCH (MUCH, MUCH, MUCH) larger map in RDR2, I don't mean I want to see the same textures repeated x10.I mean, I want to see the same kind of quality increase we witnessed from GTA4 to RDR1, and then from RDR1 to GTA5.

It's still just as dense with unique features and inhabitants, but nowhere near as complex. Imagine R* making the transition from creating Los Santos' level of density-complexity to Sandy Shores level of Density-complexity. Nobody wants to lose density, but whether by 'density' you mean unique human NPCs or unique man-made structures/towns/homesteads), the fact is FRONTIER AMERICA **IS** less dense than modern-day Los Santos. The 'density' argument ('it's stupid to want a large map, when the tradeoff means it will lack 'density') is ridiculous to me. There are quite a few of us in here that feel the same way and have put forward many of the same arguments you have. It isn't even 1.5x the size of RDR.Yes, I agree with you. To me it seems way, way too small for a 2017/2018 RDR2, even density improved. So to be honest, if the map is real, I don't really like the look of it. Even if swimming is a feature, you aren't going ot be swimming around in those huge bodies of water because why would you. To me, it frankly looks like a big waste of space. An important aspect of the landscapes in the Old West was that there were vast distances to get across, so I really think it is important for RDR2s map to give that feel.Īdd to it that the leaked map has huge areas of water, which will most likely be unused in the game, aside from the occasional canoeing. what the leaked map suggests) will feel big for a game set in the Old West coming out in 2017 possible early 2018. I don't think a map with something of the size of 35-40 sq miles (approx. In fact I think it was something like only 28 sq miles. RDRs map did feel big at first, yes, but once you got around and recognised the landscape it got clear it wasn't big. Now I know people like to point out that density is more important than sheer size but if we are talking almost the same size as RDR, I have to respectfully disagree.Ī necessity of a map of a game set in the 'Heartlands' of the Old West and coming out 2017 (meaning, it should be significantly larger 7 years later due to technology advances, even if it is more dense as well) is for it to feel huge. Why? Well largely due to the fact that if you map this map on RDRs map, it comes out as not much bigger than RDR. Personally, I am still hoping it is a fake. And most people around here seem to believe it is real.

There are things that speak for the leaked maps validity, definitely.
