California in Red Dead Redemption 2? (Exploring beyond the map) 

The reason that theres a big ocean underneath the Map is that a lot of games have one singular water plain underneath the map and whenever they need lakes or rivers they simply stretch that surface up so that they dont need to have multiple physics simulations running at once.

The map wasn’t glitching at the end. You were simply hitting loading points for Guarma. The game unloads the main map and loads in Guarma for Chapter 5. If you wondered around a bit more you would’ve found out that the whole island is there and it’s solid ground you can walk on, this is because the entire island of Guarma was planned to be a playable map but due to time constraints Chapter 5 was significantly cut back, you would’ve found the main Guarma area you play in on the west coast of the island. It’s truly fascinating that this entire island is there outside the map

Now Arthur can go to his country club in Calfornia

The reason there is so much land outside the map is because the devs don't want you to see the edge of the map. Like if you go to the tallest mountains in the game, you can see these areas, plus they want you to think the map is even bigger than it is.

The year is 1899. You are siting on the front porch of the saloon with a massive hangover when you see a man... Fly pass you 30 feet in the sky on a flying horse.

Cause of that flying horse he explored more outside the map in 15 min than I did after around 17 hours of total exploring by not flying horse. Love your content. Your gonna blow up soon

The reason why those far out of map lands have low textures is for sure to preserve memory.. no reason to make It all look prestine, the player isn't supposed to see those places up close but for certain angles in some parts of the map we can see parts of those out of map places.. but seen from far away they look perfect.

Dude didn't even realize he was in guarma at the end

Fun fact: Most of these outside map areas will be reused in RDR3. They did same with RDR for RDR2. You can still find in original game RDR2 pre-alpha design, they reworked on plenty parts of the map giving more details.

Those Green mountains at the end of the video looked a lot like gta5 style 😂 was almost expecting to see the vinewood sign lol

The reason why the map changes in the south and near Ohio is whenever you do the mission in chapter 4 you head South and you get to Guama

Horse could not hold it In😂 1:07

Like and subscribe if you enjoyed!

Anyone else getting sernando vibes from this guy?

Actually that Ocean is where Guarma is. On the red dead map Guarma is situated to the West of the normal map. Which you know is supposed to be surrounded by water.

8:57 that actually isn't entirely inaccurate: New Orleans isn't technically on the coast, there's still bayou south of it

6:52: I love how when you go east from the map, it literally just turns into the Midwest

I mean, Tall Trees is California. Tall Trees being a reference to the Redwoods and if you study the bighorn sheep in the area they all say Sierra Nevada Bighorn sheep.

Tbh I think it’s just a coincidence and it’s not actually California but it’s a cool, little theory ig

Many open-world games, and to my knowledge all Rockstar ones, have an ocean under the map that drags on forever. It's there in San Andreas, and there would be no reason for it not to be there in RDR2. It doesn't prove anything, it's just that you will see ocean wherever land ends and Rockstar didn't ever need a tool to create infinite land in any of their games, thus they don't have infinite land but they do have infinite water because they needed that for GTA. The reason for having ocean everywhere is that it makes everything easier for the devs. They don't have to hide the seams anywhere on the actual ocean of the map, and they have a decent point of reference for how high up any specific part of land should be.

There is a cool way to go outside the map: in the Big Valley there is a little cave (there lives a crazy hermit too), go inside until you reach a dead end with a large hole- drink moonshine until you pass out- boom you are spawning outside the map. I did this to get John to Guarma and let me tell you it took me many hours to get there XD you can actually ride with a horse if you find one (animals outside do absolutly nothing, they just stand there even wolfs and such 😂) and you can go pretty far outside until you reach blurry land. 9:10 this is probably part of Guarma Map. Good video mate, cheers from Austria ✌

Rdr3 brings California into play and the map just keeps getting bigger until rdr5 until the entire US is the map

The out of bounds nonrendered textures are to make up for the US and Mexico that's not part of the game. It's to prevent the map from looking incomplete like with V's where Nevada, San Francisco and San Diego is just ocean where there's supposed to be land.

Bro I love youre content

maybe they were planning on releasing some dlc map expansion with new missions or something, and then just never did it, or they made it so that modders could make it easier to create new areas of the map idk

The last location you went to is where guarma is located, rockstar put it far away so players wouldn’t see it, and it looks like rockstar was going to expand on guarma and possibly add another island

Guy legit used the oppressor mark horse

Part of the red dead redemption 2 map is in California the western part of new Austin would be the Mojave desert in California.

hey can please explore the surface of the ocean right there, please, nice job man!!

At the edge of the map, there is ocean in every direction.

It would be sick if rdr2 had mexico

You shoudl try getting in every direction, x y and z. By that i mean use a xyz teleported to see what changes when you teleport far and far each time. Something like artkoval did in gta (exploring outside the map, reaching letter n on the radar, exploring the space and more if im not wrong)

3:03 tbh, it's the other way around. In these open world games the water level is set first, so basically the ocan is created first. Then they build the land on top or even below that. I've got some insight in this topic of game creating, since I used to be a modder for TES4: Oblivion back in the days, creating entire new questlines and continents as well.

seriously underrated channel. i love your content man

The part of south was guarma if im right. theres a glitch in the game if you get drunk near the end of the map in new austin you can spawn on the glitchy area and then if you run south u will fall and get onto guarma so im guessing thats what u saw

red dead game but in old europe before ww1. all the crazy gun inventions and the history. i would love that

Well the way that most games like this work is that they will have a sea level at a certain point so what you thought was rockstar making california in rdr2 was just the end of the land they decided to create as the land that on what you think to be the coast is where rockstar probably thought nobody would go so why bother making more land? That is why the coast is a straight line.

Imagine shit falling from the sky and hitting you and then you look up and see a man flying a horse across the land

From new York to California, this map could've been the biggest map in gaming history

Why horse walking in the air so funny 🤣

What mods do you use???

Red dead 3 is said to take place on the entire coast of California.. Mexico and canda mixed.. meaning next gen only or even the next system to come out.. but it seems like the map was either suppose to be bigger or they did this so people wouldn’t see the end of the map

If the map was going to be a bit bigger, it would simply be an addition of Mexico. Hell, even New Austin was a stretch for Rockstar, as it was added in late In development to satisfy fans after the initial teasers/trailers. All the terrain that surrounds the map is just randomly generated (maybe except for this weird little bay on the eastern edge? Also, there's a lake/river source that's a remnant of beta development just beyond NH's nothern edge). It's low poly because the player is really only supposed to see it from an extreme distance. If something was actually planned, you would have a lot more flat areas, cliffs, river beds, general signs of a more artificially molded terrain. The only piece of terrain that actually fits this description is the ENTIRE island of Guarma. I believe early in development, you were supposed to have more access to Guarma, and there would be a lot more locations. However something must've happened and now the main area is only the northwestern/west coast. If you want a really good in-depth series of RDR2 out-of-bounds exploration, I highly recommend checking out Basement Gamer Bros.

I also really wish they added Wisconsin and Minnesota

Dutch:going to tahiti? Arthur: maybe california.

1:30 quite an accurate map

Great content but the reason the why the land is so unredered is because if you go up high it would be more realistic but no one’s meant to be there so they don’t put anything there

Fun fact: if you go far enough north in Canada IRL you'll find an actual ocean, the arctic ocean

Cool investigation. I think you will find a body of water starting on every far edge of the map. I believe this is a death barrier mechanism "just in case" the player makes their ways that far OOB. The Guarma glitch (~10 min) is there because, apparently, Guarma is the only part of the map that loads independently.

how did you get a bounty in ambarino?

I went out of bounds there and I saw a red dot on my map. I went to it and it was a grey cougar, which is odd because there are no grey cougars in the game. It also had reddish eyes. I’m being deadass. It was like 4 am in the game

7:59 - since you have access to mods you probably can brake that invisible barrier, since Shesez, i think it's him, made a video where he went all the way to the end of the ocean / horizon and the skybox turned bright white, you can't see nothing more besides white and the mini - map, by that point you can only move the cursor, the player just gets stuck there. The thing is that he made that part of the clip so fast that made me want to see more.

Damn he found vice city.

Well I assume rockstar would of thought of California since all of the dialogue but I don't think they would of put it in the game its just the edge of the map so you you don't see just ocean

how do i get that red coat?

dude knows nothing about game development

9:13 this is tahiti and those trees are mango trees 9:45

Very good content, wish i had a computer and skills good enough to play rdr2 on PC and install mods, would be so fun. Keep up the good work!

You can go to guarma easily with this

you can actually go to mexico if you go near new austin using a glitch where you get drunk

same thing the actually doesn’t make a lot of sense because in the 1800s New Orleans (which is what Saint Denis is based off of) looked almost identical to Saint Denis it was only litter on where they expanded to the other side of the Mississippi River, and New Orleans is not on the edge of an ocean. It’s surrounding a river like in red dead redemption so if you cross the river of Saint Denis, there’s more land like in real life so that does make sense.

some of the very far west of the game is part of the mojave desert and could be part of california, we can tell because of the joshua trees

yeah see more outside the map

The interesting thing is that if you fall into the void far beyond the map, it won't put you on the nearest ground, but you will fall endlessly. Don't ask me how I know.

they couldve made the extra map a DLC so you play as different charecters and understand there story

Did mod creators ever capitalize on the extra biomes outside of the map?

Finally my state in rdr2

south of saint denis is guarma so it is accurate since south of new orleans is cuba,over the see,kinda accurate

I love how you you need a flying horse instead of making Arthur fly? xD

There is actually Mexico in the game which they planned to add but didn't. You can find a prison model from RDR1 there

The first horse to poo in the air. lol

This man deserves more subscribers. Give this man more subs now.

Yeah bro....no...alot of maps have water under them especially open world games with things like, oh idk SEA LEVELS

at the end it was guarma bc if u didn't know once u get out of bounds it u fall down to the water and u can land on guarma bc it loads under the map kinda but also a little out of bounds like when ur at van horn look off at the water and the land mass across from it is guarma don't believe me look up a video Abt it

Apparently you can go south enough you can find Guarma because that's we're they store the map I think you have to be on foot though

How do you mod it

You can get to guarma that way

10:06 That’s Tahiti

My idea for why this is all there is because rockstar wanted to have it there just in case the wanted to add more

Im pretty sure you can go to Guarma. If you can u should make a vid

No wonder dutch said LETS GO TO TAHITI

California is in RDR2 for example Strawberry is an actual place in California, Tall trees represents the Sequioa trees and many waterfalls and mountains are very similar to Yosemite

I think rer3 will have all if not mid west and all west especially 1840's which silver gold California Nevada and have some Oregon trail Louis and clarke stuff. I'm dure they are working on it constantly. Or just all west including canada and alaska would be awesome

Can I just say your content is very good and you deserve more. Hopefully in the future you grow and get more subscribers.

Video idea : what is underneath the ocean ?

Looks like landscape to a video game creator

This dude founds boundaries and thinks he’s exploring the world. When he said Canada😂

wouldn't it be placeholder names for those regions, like New York and California are mentioned sure but Miami and other real life cities were mentioned in prior GTA games so I don't see why the region wouldn't have been San Andreas.

nice video

You died when you fell into the water because you were to high up

All those mountains and trees could possibly be more map added in a future update

Nah bro Charles living in there💀💀💀💀💀💀

7:27 i just realized that this could be lake erie, it depends though

if you wouldve gone more south from Saint Denis you would've found Guarma

"ARSE COME BACK 😭" 0:47

California, is the state i live 💀💀💀.

honestly i think that the concept of “states” like new austin and lemoyne being actual states is flawed due to the reality of the MASSIVE size difference between the actual map and real states, its more realistic to think of the states as counties

Im pretty sure it's just the end of the land. The water is there by default.

So Arthur really could of gone to a country club in california

But the states are short becuz how can Arthur reach too lemoyne in 15 mins while he is in west Elizabeth
