New Red Dead Map Leaked?

I don't get the obsession with the map in Rockstar games. It's a freaking map, who cares. And all of their games have these rumors. Where does it come from?

Because it's where you'll spend possibly hundreds of hours engrossed in exploring every inch of it and experiencing AAA story and multiplayer hijinx within it... it's something to be excited about! We don't know the context of any of it yet but a preview of thematic environments and key location names is still really cool to see.

You're in a forum dedicated to video games and everything about them. You're that clueless about why people care? I don't get that. That's fucking stupid.

I got so hyped I bought the blu-ray for The Hateful Eight so you better be right OP!
Loved the film anyway, saw the 70mm roadshow so I needed it anyway! LOL

So after 7 pages, is this Mafia or RD?

Haha

I see "Robbery/Robberies"...I suppose that could apply to either game, lol.


Edit** Continuing to read through thread...I'm guessing we're calling it fake. :(
 
This could largely be fake and I'd be cool with that, as long as Catfish Jackson is a name that is uttered, read, or otherwise mentioned in the game.

I didn't check every name on the map but at least Blackwater was from RDR.

And Tall Trees along with Beeches Hope where the Marston homestead was or is depending on the time. Looks like the West side starts from there and moves far East so you'll hopefully see some of those old locales rendered on current gen!!

...provided the map is legit of course.
 
Not Bish verified? Not buyin it!

Though, I want me some positive RDR news after hearing more about the troubled development of the original. So this would be cool if real..

I REALLY hope this has a bunch of old timey cars to use like the one you ride in at the start of Redemption 1. How amazing would it make multiplayer hijinx to have those cars driving alongside players on horseback...

The potential for videos you could make in an RDR version of the Rockstar Editor is incredible.

That would be horrible. Westerns should not have cars. Hopefully the next Red Dead is a prequel.

Red Dead Redemption had a car and it fit the game just fine. Westerns can very much have cars and still be westerns. The Western genre time period pretty much ends around the time that cars started getting big. As long as finding cars in the game is a decently rare occurrence then it would be fine. Hell, make them as rare as tanks and fighter jets are in GTA5 if that makes it any better for you.

So it matches just fine with the lore plus it offers tons of hilarious and thrilling possible gameplay segment possibilities. Why the hell would this be a bad thing again??

Redemption took place at the very end of the wild west. If the next one was any later, it wouldn't be a western anymore. The next one needs to be prequel or it will be too far past the wild west era, IMO.

Anything from 1912 to 1916 would work.

There were cars, but they were a loooooooong way from common outside of heavily populated cities. Horse and buggy was still the majority by a long shot.

I wouldn't mind something between 1890 and 1910 though.

Eh...RDR was about the death and end of the "Wild West" taking place in 1911. Preferably they need to go back in time than anything more forward otherwise it's GTA except..earlier. lol

I mean, when you think of any Western movies or TV shows do cars really jump to mind?

What would work even better would be during the actual wild west era. Since it's a western and all. lol
