  1. I think the evidence for New Austin outweighs the evidence against; the five states, the model train that mentions it, if Mexico is in then NA must also be... uh, that's all I got. Evidence against is the train line doesn't go through Blackwater to NA making it impossible for the train to get there, but i've dismissed that as the leaked map is old and has minimal info. Any more?


  2. Shit, oh well it was a waste of time me preordering so early then. Won't get a chance to play with RDR coming out before. Was hoping it would be beginning of October, luckily I just bought the GTA trilogy so that'll keep me busy in the meantime.

    Then you have the other theory that we could go for a trip to New Austin or Nuevo for a one time mission, but then they'd have to make all the landscape around it and not let us free to roam it... Which makes no sense.

    Yeah I don't think they'll go this route for such a large area, say you need gila monster skins to craft something but you've already done the mission that takes you there and it's locked. That'd fuck over a lot of people... although it seems these days R* are in the business of fucking people over.

    /edit I think someone over there has actually found the spot from that second image in Río del Lobo.

    If that's the case, that puts the first desert image further North... What's further North from here?

    My hunch is that's just a coincidence, but I think we'll definitely be seeing Mexico at this point. Hopefully we'll get a gameplay vid tomorrow, whether we see some other parts of the map however is another story.

     

    It's weird that we know so much yet so little; the area we have mapped is pretty accurate, but it could end up being a quarter of the playable area. Either R* have been showcasing the entire map in the trailers and screens (which i'm 99% sure isn't true due to the elusive desert,) or they've chosen that portion of it exclusively for some reason and withheld the rest.

  5. Good question actually, I never considered some of the larger game. Maybe you can only skin bears and larger animals in situ, can't imagine there being a mechanic where you whistle one of the gang to come by with a wagon and you both load it on, and you wouldn't be able to do it by yourself realistically... so yeah that's going to be an interesting one.


  6. I mean it would make more sense in regards to the train bridge shot, but I thought we'd already established this was the far left mountain down in Big Valley?

    It's to the left of Valentine that's fo sho'.

    (I will reiterate my thoughts on the matter; I think your shocker rock/Balsam Rise is waaay too far east, to me it's more in the centre/east of the map, somewhere north of Clingman area.)


  7. No doubt there'll be a trophy for it, first thing I thought too. I imagine at least 20 of those species will be some form of small bird like in the first Redemption, so they'll probably be just a simple reskin of each other and share a similar AI. But still it's impressive, wonder what the other 180 species will be, we only know a couple of dozen so far.
