A Reddit user named GAME-LAPSE posted a video of 120 hour in-game timelapse ofNew Austincondensed down into three minutes. The video does an incredibly good job of conveying just how much work was likely put into makingRed Dead Redemption 2purely from a cosmetic point of view. The way the clouds roll in and out. The way the water moves and reflects the sky above it. The way the lighting is realistically cast. It’s all extremely impressive work that players would almost certainly never notice during active gameplay.
The true beauty of this timelapse video is its perspective. Other than the Icarus and Friends mission whereArthur Morganand Sadie Adler fly a hot air balloon, there’s no way for players to really experience the sheer scope ofRed Dead Redemption 2’soverworld from that vantage. This should hopefully give some fans newfound appreciation for the amount of effort it must have taken to make the game look this way.
In any case, it’s amazing to see just how relevant and activeRed Dead Redemption 2remains within the gaming community. Despite being out for over three years, newRed Dead Redemption 2related fan content continues to surface online. In addition to the timelapse of New Austin, one player actually made afull scale map ofRed Dead Redemption 2’sgame world.
