Needs more Darkness Benz.
If fake, that's a cute touch.

Was this ran by a mod?
I would hope so. OP names a source, so I can only hope it was vetted.

That map doesn't work for a Western.

not sure, was that revealled yesterday? I think this must have taken a while to make whoever did it.
A New Orleans-a-like is likely going to be New *insert French city name*

Catfish Jackson and the Benz is my favorite 1920s Jazz ensemble.
Try to reach out to mods or admins to see if your source can be vetted would be my suggestion.

New Bordeaux is based on New Orleans, right? And both are Take-Two games so cross-references aren't impossible IMO.
Also, despite the map being compressed + fictional, wouldn't the city placement be fitting considering RDR was happening around (fictional) Texas / Mexico?
I'm not an expert on US geography as I'm from Europe, but I've got the impression that Louisiana is a swampy area, and so is the New Bordeaux area on the new leaked map.

This thread needs some good old fashioned mod verification. This is quite interesting, and I can't wait for R* to release THE DARKNESS!!! that is RDR2!
I'll tell you two things that bother me.
The colour and the detail.
That is, I've seen early development maps (often for the likes of WoW) with clear demarcations for zones and lots of colour. It's perfectly normal. Here's one from Blizzcon last year:
...heck, I worked on the PSP port of Gun, and I'm pretty sure we had such a thing knocking around the design doc ourselves (although it's not a design doc I've seen in, like, ten years, so my memory might be playing up!). It's the sort of reference tool that makes sense to use internally and occasionally present externally but not have it user-facing in a game context; it's a clear basis of how the zones are split, but doesn't have the aesthetics and theming to make it a usable in-game asset.
But what that map isn't, is particularly detailed. Compare with this Red Dead map, and there's tons of detail on there; roadways, villages, contours, rivers. That map could be a user-facing asset. It's got the detail of an in-game asset with the colour scheme of an internal reference piece, and those two things would seem to be unlikely to go together.
I'm not intending this as a "...therefore, it's not real", I might well be missing something about Rockstar's internal processes that makes this logical. But it strikes me as odd.

It amuses me that it's a Western that's largely East.

Yeah we'll see. I think we all remember the many leaks of GTA V's map and things in general that all turned out to be fake. This could be anything.
Yup, but they did let Sony announce GTA 5 remaster at their show. So who knows.

Little hard to believe there would be some kind of environment overlap between Mafia 3 and RDR3 under the same publishing roof with 2 games that will likely come out within about a year of each other. We'll see I guess.

True, and I just remembered that Red Dead Redemption was originally announced at E3 2006 along with the announcement of the PS3. Although I could be wrong on that.

There are some wonderful Southern flavored westerns (Django Unchained comes to mind), but it could also work with a Southern Gothic angle.

looks OK to me.
i don't care if it's fake or not but just thinking about a new Red Dead game has got me way too excited. I truly hope it is the next game from Rockstar.

It would have to be set before RDR if it takes place east of it. The whole theme of RDR was how the West was dying, Blackwater was the primary example of that.

Fine with me. Much rather have John back than a new character and/or Jack.

A past leak/rumor actually said that it would be a prequel, and you would meet John Marston back when he was in a gang.

Looks pretty small if real, smaller than RDR's map even.
But I doubt it's real.

By your source? Surely the mods would've just closed the thread themselves.

It was tweeted along with the NeoGAF New Threads account.

There was enough detail to make it believable for me.
But then again I believed the NX controller leak....
