SPOILER ALERTS AHEAD https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/02/red-dead-redemption-2s-first-4-hours-the-open-world-just-evolved New Screenshots

Same, the time for abstinence is fast approaching. When the time comes, you gotta run and don't look back... this is over. It's going to be difficult not reading anything, but i'll just get my info from here as I always have. Look at the screenshots, maybe speculate a bit. I think a week before release i'll purge myself of everything i've learned, then be totally giddy when the map turns out to be four times larger than we expected.

Map Update v0.71 - Added Armadillo(New Austin) to the map - Added Black & White Lizard location to the map - Added Treefitty's updated town maps - Changed layout of map to accommodate more landmass

I just read on Reddit that the entire original map has been confirmed by R*. https://old.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9ks3e1/entire_map_of_rdr_to_be_in_red_dead_redemption_2/?st=jmrzgtgf&sh=c114707d That doesn't look like anywhere in NA to me. Hmmmm.

Well this just blows our mapping out of the water... Deserts in the BG? Where the hell is this? Has to be New Austin... https://uk.ign.com/articles/2018/10/02/red-dead-redemption-2s-first-4-hours-the-open-world-just-evolved

I just shuddered, I heard a voice in my head saying "IT'S HEEEERBERRRRT MOOOOON!" Any plans to do interactive town maps Fitty? Put a player icon on the map where screenshots are. Or too much effort for not enough reward? I found most of those myself but it might help others. There are still people on Reddit saying Dupz and the leaked map are fake.

The micro-expressions! Love that subtle animation.

Some less obvious ones now... ^Long-ass bridge must be the one near Lone Mule Stead going towards Horseshoe Overlook. Scenery fits. ^Pretty sure these are the Kerosene and Tar place. Note "No Smoking" sign on the tanks. ^Definitely Kerosene and Tar place. Says it on the sign to the right. ^South side of Valentine. Lawyer building on left, gun shop is right of that. Shack next to Keane's Saloon on far right in background. ^I'm 99% sure where these go on the map for St Denis. ^Bacchus Bridge ^Rhodes. Using the stack of what-looks-like-tires to the right of the small house, it appears to be the same house from the opening train scene. The train tracks in this pic are on the left along the wire poles just out of view due to the hill. You can see this hill in the opening scene once Arthur climbs up onto the train roof. ^Annesburg. First shot is the top of the tipple. Then the first person view is them going up the hill beyond. ^Doesn't appear to be Armadillo or Valentine for that matter. Even Tumbleweed doesn't look like it would fit back-in-the-day. So it's either one of the other places we have yet to really see or in that Mexico/whatever-island. update 2 hours later: I'm going to hate the St Denis map until we get the full thing... ^Note the bank location. It matches the middle X on the heist map. That or someone finally un-bends the whole thing. I was trying to find the edges of the polygons but it appears to be more detailed than one would think:

Yeah I looked at that but it wasn't conclusive, it's too hazy to properly make out and from what I could see they aren't a close match. That would make the most sense at this point though. I also considered the far side of the Lannahechee river but that's getting a bit far away, the map would be really wide and it makes more sense to fill in other areas like that northern portion of Mexico first before crossing that river. (Even though it is across that river.) I found a screen on that ResetEra forum, page 3 if you're interested; https://www.resetera.com/threads/red-dead-redemption-is-native-4k-on-xbox-one-x-screenshots-thread.35346/page-3 Right hand side mountain is a close match, there's that ridge in front that seems separate though.

And so it begins - how much of an insignificant fragment of the map have we seen so far? looking good anyway, puts it all into perspective. Just change Lone Mule Steed to Lone Mule Stead and we're good.

HEAVY SPOILERS IN THAT ARTICLE... i started skimming over it after a few paragraphs, fucker lied and said no spoilers at the beginning lol... i guess i'll skip out on this round of information... screenshots look nice tho, i don't mind those...

Dunno, that part of NA is more swampy around Thieves Landing, it doesn't look like Cholla Springs (but that's what i'd go for out of the three) and Gaptooth Ridge/Rio Bravo had more of a reddish colour to them. It could be looking directly south over Flatiron to the Nuevo side, but i'm sure the desert didn't extend up that far or you'd have seen it from Blackwater, not that that side of the lake was very detailed IIRC. Once again we need someone with RDR to take a look.

Yep, I think i'll be going into hiding in a dark corner and putting my fingers in my ears very soon to avoid spoilers. "Into exile I must go, erection I have."

I'm still on the fence after looking at this image again - I think we're both half right Dup, i'm still certain that river that runs into the lake isn't the Roanoke, it's too small and goes in the wrong direction. I still think i'm right in that it meanders down into Flatiron Lake past Dewberry Creek. The Roanoke to me must be that tiny bit of water you can see above the shocker, and i've always believed the shocker is west of the river. But that screen definitely shows the whole Lemoyne peninsula out to St Denis and Rhodes. Also that railway intersection is bugging me since it doesn't match up with the map, the nearest would be the line that runs up and down west of Siltwater Strand and Merkins Walter(?), but it could've changed from the draft I guess. I'm not even sure if i'm happy with this theory in regards to the shocker rock location; it's too far south. I feel it should be north of where i've put it here. But this theory is quite a bit of guesswork based on the shape and geology of that rocky outcrop which seems to form a natural course for the Roanoke river and is roughly the right shape.

Updated maps. I'll probably continue to tweak them as usual for a week or so... Rhodes: Saint Denis:

Alright, time to be shamed. Some friend type people and i made a youtube channel and i told them i'd post it here so i'm going to (i'm sorry) it's a lets play of RE7, i'm funny in it so i guess that's cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLr0iEitVBQ Alright you can return to your regularly scheduled debauchery and other sadistic practices. Good day.

*The face you make when somebody asks you to kill someone for money but you're trying to make it seem like it's a burden to hold out for more money knowing full well you already killed that bitch*
