Summary
ARed Dead Redemptionfan online has shared an incredible comparison between the animals in the 2010 game and its 2018 sequel, showing how much actually changed between the two titles. ThisRed Dead Redemptioncomparison is pretty stark, showcasing just how impressive technological advances were.
There’s an overlap in large parts of the mapbetween theRed Dead Redemptiongames, makingcomparisons between the two inevitable. It’s not just how they look in terms of real-life technological advances that players are interested in. The originalRed Dead Redemptiontakes place several years afterRed Dead Redemption 2, so it’s fascinating to see how these areas have changed in-universe during this time. There was anotherRed Dead Redemptionplayer who created image comparisons for several locationsbetween the two games, showcasing this perfectly.
Redditor zMats33 shared the video online, which compared the appearance of severalRed Dead Redemptionanimalsbetween the 2010 original and its 2018 follow-up, including a racoon, a sheep, a boar, and more. Frankly, the difference is staggering for eight years of progress. In the original, the animals are visibly much lower polygons, making clever use of textures to imitate the appearance of fur. Meanwhile,Red Dead Redemption 2appears to be rendering realistic fur as many modern titles do. The animation of theRed Dead Redemption 2animals is much more lifelike, too, with smaller details creating the illusion of a living, breathing animal.
Even today, six years after its release,Red Dead Redemption 2remains among themost graphically impressive gamesever made. That it was made to run on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is nothing short of a minor miracle, with every frame crammed with details that many players will never even notice. This level of detail has been something thatRed Dead Redemption 2has become known for over the years, with players continuing to find new things in the game. In a way, it’s part of the reason the game remains as popular as it is, and will keep players coming back for some time yet.
Graphically, it’s clear thatRed Dead Redemption 2still holds up today. However, that isn’t enough for many, who continue to clamor forRed Dead Redemption 3. Sadly, any news on that front is not likely to arrive until after the release ofGrand Theft Auto 6, which remains Rockstar’s priority at the moment. In the meantime, it could be a good time to revisit the originalRed Dead Redemptionafter its successful release on PC.
