Seriously impressive how they managed to line up the camera so well, that must have taken either some insane planning (to get the height right and use the right lenses) or some absurd luck.
Being one of the game devs and animators on this game this video is sooooo awesome to watch. It was cool to watch you visit all of those locations in real life and to see your excitement along the way. Great stuff !!
@@YorkReacts I don't even want to tell you how many hours of my life I spent hunting in that game. Challenges, animal meat, or a 3 star moose pelt that's worth more than a moon rock considering how damn hard they are to find. As for you, I'd wear that like a badge of honor and I thank you for your dedication to that gaming work of art. Truly a masterpiece in every aspect.
@@strider1237 right on man!! And thank you! It was a fun project and it was fun to animate the alligator grabbing the boar in the swamp and dragging it into the water. I did the cougar attack animations. That thing was soooo hard because I had to animate several different variations from different angles. Wowza 2 1/2 years animating animals everyday. I’m glad I’m not doing that anymore to be honest haha I got burnt out of animating animals for sure.
@@YorkReacts I was actually going to ask if you still worked for Rockstar in my previous post but didn't want to pry too much. That's amazing you did the gator and cougar work. Both were splendid btw. You done with animating altogether?
yeah man i mean red dead 1 is still really good. like the other comment said, gta is a decade old and still killin it. only rockstar and bethesda do these kinda games
I never thought the entire map was inspired by real locations, I thought they just created it on their own. The amount of work and raw detail that went into this game is absolutely astonishing.
Saint Denis was the first big giveaway as it was modeled on New Orleans. When I entered first time into Lemoyne, I could tell straightaway that it was Louisiana
It's arguably way easier to just take real life examples then to make everything up yourself. The true skill is making it all work in a cohesive game world. Monumental effort nonetheless of course.
This is TV show quality content man, well done. Came for the real life versions of the game's locations & stayed for the professionally done editing, camerawork and hosting job. Keep it up boss, I happily subscribed!
This was so fun! I can definitely relate to how you were amazed to find the exact things you experienced in the game in real life. It's a worthy adventure 😍
This is just amazing man! I love seeing comparisons for the video games locations to real life. It makes me wonder what states they've went to get inspiration!
Red Dead supernerd here and this is mind blowing. I'm an Aussie so had no idea it was exactly like landscapes and cities in the US. Thanks for your tour.
This is totally a Rockstar thing. They did this for GTA V as well, basically remodeling LA and California into San Andreas/Los Santos Rockstar takes so much time working on their environments its actually amazing. Wonderful work lining everything up to the real world counter parts. Hope yall are well!
there were points in this where I literally could hardly tel when it jumped between gameplay and real footage... this game is INSANE. never fails to keep amazing me all these years later ! Great video this must have been such an amazing trip
One thing that always impressed me with RDR2 (and GTA for that matter) was how ‘small’ areas could be made to feel so big. Saint Denis really isn’t a big city when you think about it, 4 blocks wide maybe?, yet feels like a big city with distinct districts. RDR2 really was a masterpiece in terms of map design.
Yeah, it’s amazing how you can travel from one side of the map to another in about 15 minutes yet it feels huge at the same time cause of the valleys and mountains
It's hands down one of the best games ever created. I'm on my second playthrough and seeing this on my feed was just timely! Great work! can't wait to see the second one!
Really happy youre making this video! I've driven across the US several times and spent lots of time around Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the Great plains. Playing RDR2 was incredible since I was literally recognizing so many landmarks I had already seen in real life.
One of the most coolest things i've loved about RDR2 is that we can take photos in the game. Its like you are a photographer who loves to travel but you got a broken leg and is stuck at home. Then theres RDR2 with exact replicas of the real world , it made me so happy .
@9:31 I legit thought the "real" was just a realistic reshade mod of the game. So gorgeous out there. Went fishing in a small lake at the base of the Gran Tetons when I was about 13. One of my favorite memories.
Seeing the real life houses compared to the ones in Saint Denis so cool! As much as the environments are beautiful and the game mimics them very well, it’s attention to detail on architecture that really shows how dedicated the developers were to making RDR2 feel real. I mean, how many people would even think of putting a corn fence in a game unless you saw it in reality?? There is one area of this video where the game got it right and reality “didn’t”, though. If you ride horses all the time, like Arthur and the rest of the gang do, you’ll get used to it and it won’t bother you at all. You’ll also be using a saddle that fits you (because it’s mad uncomfortable otherwise even if you ride often), and you’ll have enough experience to find your “seat” right away so you don’t have to fidget to get comfortable. Of course, if you rode at a full gallop all the time like Arthur does (or like we make Arthur do) you’d have sore legs often. But also muscles of steel because it takes a lot of strength and is a serious workout to do that, especially often. Just another reason why Arthur Morgan is an absolute badass 😂
Sometimes, I failed to distinguish between reality and RDR2, when the camera transition was so fluid(in first person mode). Truly RDR2 is the best game of all time.
Super good video, perfect balance of explaining the locations while also letting us see them and compare them ourselves. Footage looks amazing. Keep it up.
How awesome to spot all those places and super transitions between game and real. I didn’t know these abandoned houses still exists. Imagine the hard life those people had. You should arrange guided trips to these places.
Excellent job! Really tight editing, great content topic, you totally hooked me with the red dead content(probably because of some algorythm) but i really loved how much effort you put into exploring the real life side of a video game, totally subscribing and cant wait to see more! I really really like how you are doing the video game vs irl theme cuz watching you explore the real wild west of america is do interesting to watch, it almost feels like slightly educational and very entertaining, i love this style of content and i hope to see more, great job id give this a 10/10 youtube rating if i could
Dude woww.. millions of views and well deserved! It's insane how well made this video is and all the effort and time that went into this to track down and travel to these locations. Just phenomenal work man I'm blown away.
Crazy episode mate. Big fan of RD and never crossed my mind that the places they used are actually places. It's crazy that you got to travel and see the places you did. Would of been one hell of an experience
The crazy thing is most game devs make these open world games by looking at map layouts of real life places and using tools like google maps to get reference of scale, rockstar on the other hand sends actual photographers to take photos and map out these towns! The effort put into rdr2 is insane!
Ugh literally I would love an RDR2 based locations/ history tour from around the country and getting to do these side experiences how awesome. This was superb guys very well done I’ve often wondered the locations myself compared to reality and both your hard work and the developers of RDR2 is unmatched. ❤
Braithewaite Manor is actally Oak Alley Plantation. I've been there before and immediately recognized it in game. Beautiful place in real life. It's mazing that I've been to nearly all the places in real life that are in thegame.
I live 30 minutes South of Oak Alley. Also the tiny church in the swamps North of Saint Denis is also real. It's on river road in White Castle by Shintech.

@Nothing they did the same in gta with a lot more buildings
@@Magst3r1 except red dead shits on gta
@@JM00237 Not really, as it made all the same mistakes as GTA, but even worse.
@Magst3r RDR2 has a better story but GTA has more stuff to do.

The transitions from the game to real life are so clean! Great video brother 👌🏼
Seriously impressive how they managed to line up the camera so well, that must have taken either some insane planning (to get the height right and use the right lenses) or some absurd luck.
It never changed?
It's dope
Hi! Love your channel 🥰
It comes close, but the game is more realistic than life at this point.

You were one of the game devs for RDR2? My fellow cowpoke, good on you...Tip of the hat sir.
@@strider1237 hah hat tip 🎩 yeah man I worked on a bunch of the animal animations and locomotion sets

yeah, unlike RDR 2, which was just copy/paste of real locations...
after all of that god of war is the game of the year
@@rycka7260 what a stupid comment lmao the level of attention put into the game is unreal
@@rahul-qm9fi it was sarcasm in regard of original post..., unless the original post meant the video game and not the video
@@rycka7260 what is your opinion of gta 5 then?
The transitions from in-game screenshots to real life are soooo well done!
I actually was having trouble with what was real and what was in the game lol
it was incredible
You definetly deserve more. The amount of effort put in each of your videos is insane.
True
True
Very true!
*Y E S*
For what reason? So they can get rich
I'm glad that RDR2 is still talked about after 4 years, meaning that the game carved a great impression to the hearts of the players.
bro you forgot rockstar is a legend think about gta 5 it is still a hot topic
yeah man i mean red dead 1 is still really good. like the other comment said, gta is a decade old and still killin it. only rockstar and bethesda do these kinda games
It gets heavy play on my Series X👌
except for online mode
I'm playing it for the first time and damn I cannot be more impressed by how beautiful are the landscapes and sceneries
9:01 that shot is unbelievable
I never thought the entire map was inspired by real locations, I thought they just created it on their own. The amount of work and raw detail that went into this game is absolutely astonishing.
Saint Denis was the first big giveaway as it was modeled on New Orleans. When I entered first time into Lemoyne, I could tell straightaway that it was Louisiana
It was based on some country called America. I heard.
Have you ever left your house?
imagine GTA VI :D
It's arguably way easier to just take real life examples then to make everything up yourself. The true skill is making it all work in a cohesive game world. Monumental effort nonetheless of course.
Absolute banger start to finish! The storytelling and editing is unparalleled. Keep up the great work as always Andrew 🙌
Yeah then go learn about our future on my channel.
i cant imagine the fact they made a country about red dead
the production quality is insane
It's incredible how the virtual graphics are so well done, that it looks like the real thing but with filters and an atmosphere from the 1840s.
It’s more of a turn-of the century 1890’s-1900’s industrial setting
crazy lady climbing a pole on 2:35 HAHAHAHA ROCKSTAR should've added that to the game😂😂😂
The amount of research and detail that must've went into this is crazy to think about, amazing work❤🔥
Clearly not enough research into promoting the established titles scam though
Damn, I really hope this blows up! This must have taken so much effort to organize, shoot, and edit :D
Great video with a lot of effort!
this video deserved WAY more views. Great work dude, this was thoroughly enjoyable to watch!
You're doing an amazing job. Please keep it up. Thank you so much for the content.
2:35 the random lady climbing the post- 💀

This was so fun! I can definitely relate to how you were amazed to find the exact things you experienced in the game in real life.

5:01 it transitioned from red dead to gta 5 real quick

Top tier content in my opinion. Pacing and quality of the video was just perfect, cant wait for pt.2
And also scamming his fans by making them fall for Established Titles (which is a literal scam)
Great storytelling as always. Waiting for the next chapter!

Rockstar takes so much time working on their environments its actually amazing. Wonderful work lining everything up to the real world counter parts.
Hope yall are well!
they made a video about gta v too btw
Actually it is easier this way. Why create unique designs for dozens of buildings and locations, when you can simply recreate the real ones?
Yeah until they focus too much on making gta 6 too woke
And la noire
@@EnclaveSgt Ask Trump to make you a videogame that fits your taste more. That would be a fun one! Open world four seasons landscaping!
The cuts from game to real were done so well! I have been researching the locations from the game myself and your video is so well done man!

Great video this must have been such an amazing trip
dont let the algorithm get you down, this stuff is well produced and fire. keep it goin
Even the horses are the same??!?!?!? how?
RDR2 did it's research with horses, they even motion captured the horses that's why they're the most realistic horses in video games

6:31 Tony just turned off recoil💀💀💀
Man, I live in Brazil and because of your video now I have to get a US visa and travel all around to make this dream come true lol

This was a fire video bro! love these style and Love the growth you guys have had! the editing is soooo good!
America has such a beautiful and diverse landscape, would love to do a road trip like this someday
Welcome! Just avoid LA and New York City and you will love it!
I'd love to visit the US just to see all of this nature. Definitely not 1899 anymore but it's big enough for large chunks of it to be intact
This has got to be my favourite UA-cam video this year! Great work guys! 🎉

8:47, that 's some real dedication right there, sir! A round of applause, please! 👏
the game graphics and details are so good that i couldn't differentiate between the game and irl.

Really cool video, man. High effort and it shows. Good luck to you, looking forward to part two!
