Details from Red Dead Redemption 2 #22 You can spot eagles and crows feeding on animal corpses in the wild. In this clip here you can also see that the decomposed deer is frozen due to extreme weather conditions, a very impressive detail that Rockstar Games has also added.

In one of the Grand Theft Auto VI screenshots that Rockstar Games shared back in May 2025, you can see some large fires in Ambrosia. Red Dead Redemption 2 was notorious for having extremely realistic fire physics and I can't wait to see how Rockstar will work upon that. Based on this screenshot alone you can see how much better it looks and how the smoke effects are much more realistic. Setting something on fire could last much longer and the fire could also grow much larger depending on weather conditions.

I'm wondering why Rockstar never implemented swimming physics in Red Dead Redemption 1, as you can see in this clip; John's clothes can get fully wet when he gets submerged in water, almost as if they left this detail intentionally

Subtle detail from Red Dead Redemption 2 #11 When you run for too long with your horse and its cores drain out, you can see the legs starting to shake as the horse struggles to stand upright.

By far one of the creepiest things you can encounter in Red Dead Redemption 2 is hearing whispers coming from the woods in Roanoke Valley.

The craziest fact about this statue is that Rockstar Games has also added a massive beating heart inside it that is held up by chains Quite eerie if you think about it and the sound design when you get close to it is super creepy

To give you a perspective on how advanced the NPC interaction system in GTA VI is going to be, here's a direct comparison between GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 In GTA V, the only option is to greet or insult NPCs depending on the character that you're playing as, in this case here Trevor will insult them. Red Dead Redemption 2 on the other hand has a completely different NPC interaction system where you have the option to greet, antagonize or rob NPCs. These options alone can give you the freedom to greet an NPC first, then immediately antagonize them to allow for different outcomes based on how you choose to interact with NPCs. This alone was a game changer and you can expect Grand Theft Auto VI to have an even more complex NPC interaction system compared to Red Dead Redemption 2, with more dialogue options and different outcomes. Its probably one of the reasons why GTA VI is taking much longer to develop, imagine how many lines of dialogue Rockstar Games had to record and make all of them work seamlessly by the time the game comes out.

Fun fact from Red Dead Redemption 2 #5 There were supposed to be sharks in Guarma, but due to development time, this content was inherently cut from the game. However you can still find a shark outside the explorable area in Guarma. Sometimes I really wonder what Guarma would've looked like if it was fully explorable and Rockstar vision was fully realized.

The only game that tops Red Dead Redemption 2 in terms of overall realism will be GTA 6 Not visually of course, but everything. From the character movement, the realistic environments, random events, ragdoll physics, wildlife interacting with each other and also how NPCs naturally react depending on the player's actions. Its still crazy to me that this has yet to be topped by any other game studio except Rockstar Games themselves, RAGE engine is truly in a league of its own.

Did you know that there's a vampire in Red Dead Redemption 2 which you can encounter in Saint Denis? The event is triggered by finding five strange messages clues around the city at night, which reveal a pentagram pointing to his exact location. Once you find him, you can see the vampire is already sucking on someone's blood and then he tries to attack you, I just hogtied him and send him on a nice trip to the river.

This encounter can happen if you kill enough people in a town in RDR2, mind-blowing details man. It’s been 6+ years and no game has come close to Red Dead Redemption 2’s attention to detail.

One of the Grand Theft Auto V downsides was that it didn't match GTA IV in terms of euphoria ragdoll physics, in this example here you can see how easily the NPCs die when you shoot them on the foot. Part of the reason why I believe the euphoria engine was downgraded was due to the scale of GTA V and that it was designed for PS3/Xbox 360 consoles. Fast Forward a generation later, Red Dead Redemption 2 is much better compared to this, but I still prefer the one in Grand Theft Auto IV. When GTA VI comes out, perhaps we will see a more improved version of euphoria ragdoll physics which will be a mix of both GTA IV style ragdolls and Red Dead Redemption 2.

One criticism I always see towards games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto VI recently is the topic of small details. "Why does a game need so many details, it doesn't make the experience any better and takes longer to develop" While I do agree with the fact that Rockstar Games development schedules in between each release keep getting longer, the fact is that when you aim for such a high level of realism in a video-game, its not about graphics anymore, its about immersion. I'm sure that if you played RDR2, you know that your horse sweating or its balls shrinking in the cold don't add much to the gameplay itself, but it makes the game feel like its real. This is precisely what sets apart Rockstar Games from other game studios, the level of immersion you get in those games is unbeaten. RDR2, a game designed for the PS4 console has a level of fluidity and immersion that I have yet to see in a video-game from any other game studio, each game mechanic seems to work flawlessly that it feels like a living and breathing open world game. Hell, sometimes you feel bad for shooting an NPC which never happened to me in a video-game before. When you're playing it, hours can go by and you don't even. In other open-world games, sometimes you can notice limitations, for example the same NPCs appearing in one object or the same scripted conversations. RDR2 manages to make that gap of a video-game and reality feel thinner, not get rid of it entirely of course. Making such a massive game filled with tons of details means that it can be can be played for multiple years after its release and not feel outdated. Its not all about details of course, when a game takes so long to develop, the stakes get higher each time and Rockstar Games has to make sure that they deliver on the story that is being told too, hence the reason why their games have always been historically good in terms of writing. Now to address the elephant int he room, the main issue is that as the complexity increases for each new release and optimizing all of these systems to work in tandem, the development time increases and we get longer periods of waiting. Is all of this worth it? In my opinion, yes. Its Rockstar Games after all, they have the budget necessary and the talent to achieve this kind of feat. Not only does it raise the bar for what is possible to do in a video-game, but it also is highly rewarding when you play the game for the first time and its unlike anything you've seen these past couple of years. When I finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, every new game that came out felt outdated for me. Just as technology keeps going forward, the same applies here with open world games too. What are your thoughts on this topic?
