Why Is The Original 'Red Dead Redemption' Map Hidden But Empty In 'Red Dead 2'?

The rumors are true, Red Dead Redemption 2 does have a huge chunk of the original game's map in it. But you never, ever go there, even though you can. Why?

porkChop2031d ago

It'll probably be used more for the online. Or possibly prequel DLC if Rockstar decides to make real DLC again.

Araragifeels 2030d ago

Most likely for Red Dead Online since that area is completely empty so imagine that they add content in the area for the Online.

LongLiveKing2029d ago

Perhaps like gta v, have online missions that could be completed ALONE..would be dank af..

zahdab2029d ago

John wasnt very familiar with the area in RDR 1 ... the first he visisted armadillo as far as i remember was in the events of the first game if the gang was in that region b4 it wouldnt be consistant with the first game

porkChop2029d ago

Well RDR2 started with them having failed some mission on a boat in Blackwater. And the group is mostly new to the areas in RDR2. They're from the RDR1 region.

zahdab2029d ago (Edited 2029d ago )

They could have passed by the region but necessarly lived in it ... except for blackwater

Christopher2029d ago

SP DLC from R*? That's an amusing thought, but not likely, IMHO.

ninerguy16082029d ago

Last red dead had single player dlc. Right?

Christopher2029d ago

@ninerguy1608: Since then, R* has changed their motives with support. They make a _ton_ off of shark cash, they're not going to abandon that with RDR2.

wwinterj2029d ago

Agreed. It's for the online no doubt. It's disappointing R* didn't do much with it now but it is what it is.

HeyNavi2029d ago

That's exactly what I think they're going to do with it. Use the area for multiplayer and DLC.

I reckon dlc, and I reckon it will be a prequel that ends with the events in Blackwater.

LunaMoona2030d ago

Complete Remake of Red Dead Redemption 1 within Red Dead Redemption 2 as DLC.

Matrix62030d ago

As a single player dlc? That would be really massive!

Sunny_D2029d ago

The definitely have the money and manpower.

Dark_Knightmare22030d ago (Edited 2030d ago )

Wow that’s crazy I told my brother that same theory just last night lol. I don’t think it’s going to happen but that would be freaking awesome

BrettAwesome2030d ago

It would require the Mexico part, and that ain't in it

GHOSTxx4202029d ago (Edited 2029d ago )

There was a vid on youtube by mrbossftw and it shows how you can glitch to mexico and he says the whole layout is there but idk. Check it out

gokublack2030d ago

Id love to see a django themed dlc with a max payne bullet dive perk for the main character.

BMG912030d ago

You go there in the epilogue

DankSinatra2030d ago

If you read the article they say exactly that.

thejigisup2030d ago

The description is wildly misleading "But you never, ever go there, even though you can." Can't read the piece now bc that's such a contradiction that I won't know what's truthful or not. Thanks for saving me the click guys.

shinoff218311d ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg11d ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK11d ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos11d ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider162411d ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog11d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN11d ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal11d ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave11d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator11d ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom210d ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville11d ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj11d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde11d ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada10d ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion11d ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts11d ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai11d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion11d ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff218311d ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL293011d ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion11d ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville11d ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

JL293010d ago Show
seanpitt2311d ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein39d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers38d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long38d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius38d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0611d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius38d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
