New Red Dead Map Leaked?

They are playing the RDR2 proof copy.
Oh, I don't disagree at all. I'd prefer they go way old school west...LOL.
Just saying I'd LET them get to 1916...and not hold it against them.
To be true they travelled trough the classic Western eras during the story. It was really brilliantly done because it all came up to the end of the Wild West, but we've seen its living ruins all along. So while they can't continue in the 1910s, they need to find a good angle and probably found it to get a fresh look for the new game. Maybe something very specific, but that goes against their idea of seeing a lot of things (all New York districts, Los Angeles and a big countryside etc).
Can't wait for the reveal.

The people who want cars in RDR 2 are probably the same people who wanted college and drugs and cars in Bully 2

Oh yeah for sure! There's much rich content with the West though that they could do more while still not feeling like a rehash of RDR.
Scarlet Meadows and the Bayou on the map...can you imagine if it's their version of Louisiana? Given the possible long dev cycle what if they model one, or the, main character similar to Django from Django Unchained and tackle slavery, plantations and bounty hunting? Might be a little heavy for the game but it's Rockstar..

On one hand I hope it's true because I need RDR 2 in my life.
On the other hand I was hoping for something a bit more.....West.
IE Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Cali, Texas, etc.
I also hope that they are set back during the early-mid'ish 1800's. Classic wild western style. Around the era's of the Oregon Trail, Alamo, etc.
If the map is real it looks like water will play a role somehow. So river boats, barges, submarine's maybe.

I'd love to see how they'd deal with these themes. That would be less Western-like, but since Rockstar has strong inspirations from movies (and good interpretations of them), and since it would work as a game system (revenge through bounty hunting, plantations as camps, if you play one slave (one of two or three characters?) you can get restricted areas in the cities or getting attacked while having fancy clothes or riding an horse... )That sure would be a perfect setting. Risky, heavy, touchy, benzy.

Eh? I know, but Blackwater was already the east (as far as RDR 1 goes).
I was just stating that I was hoping for a more western-focused map and game setting rather than going back east more.
More traditional Arizona/Texas/Oregon areas rather than swamps and Louisana type of settings and geography.

I'd like it to be mostly the four corner states and Texas.

How about the Mexico part? Top of the map. Seems separate so could be a story location?
Actually looking more closely at the map, I've mainly glanced at without too much thought just in case it's fake, and it seems like they're mostly trying to have their own version of the Dakota territories and Louisiana. That could be pretty exciting if true because with the Dakota territory they could have their own version for the town of Deadwood along with the Black Hills, and of course could also include the Sioux wars and more Native American involvement in the game? A lot of frontiersman took place in the Dakota territory including the legend of Hugh Glass which obviously was the inspiration for the recent Leo DiCaprio movie The Revenant.
I thought there was quite a lot of water mass or rivers on the map but my eyes played tricks on me and what I thought were blue rivers running through the central land masses was actually the purple line marking the territory borders. lol So I'm relieved at that!

Maybe it's one of the Houser's....
My mind was blown, and then blown again by the Inception like traits of this thread, loving this. This is right up there with the "what game to show my first date" TOAT (thread of all time).
I am more confident than ever that this is real now, with all the reverse reversals.

I honestly cant see how cars of that age would be fun, anyway we all know Red Dead Redemption 2 will be called Red Dead Renegade, it will be a prequel in which you play as John Marston coming to terms with the realization the outlaw life it not for him/escaping from his old gang, the one he was hunting down in RDR.
Or so I tell myself every time I see RDR mentioned anywhere.
Well, the mods didn't close the thread. So either this leak is legit or they having a bit of fun with us speculating.
If this map is real, I would think it is a mock-up for development. Some Artist painted over the terrain to visualize the areas and towns. I bet the style of the map in the game looks a lot different.

I'd of thought a mod would either pop in here to say OP is legit and cool or change the thread title to reflect if it was fake or not but yeah, the thread still being open when a mod has been here is interesting....lol

Well without Leslie Benzies they might be having a hard time completing the game.

I dont think anyone was banned in the last page?
Same. I want something fucking massive. A true Western experience needs to be absurd in scale.
I want to re-enact Blood Meridian's middle 150 pages
I want hours of horseback
It needs to be substantially bigger than The Witcher 3's world

It's this page, Odysseus straight up calling for OP to be banned.

I would like to know which Mod was PM'd.
I'm thinking a mod has already been in this thread.
Also, the mods don't HAVE to comment on something. I think people should quit worrying about it. They don't have have to fill us in on what's going on.
Plus, we got some pretty funny stuff out of it....fun times.

How can you tell if someone was banned? I seem to remember a comment like this when I was reading the thread last night. Was it removed?

A Mod may have been in this thread, but that doesn't mean that a Mod has been PM'd by the OP pending further notice. He said two Mods have been PM'd.
is it usual that mods close threads or speculation that are not legit ?
