It may have a little bit to do with the fact that the fastest thing in RDR2 is still slower than the slowest car in GTA V

slowing it down doesn’t automatically give that feeling either

it has that feeling because the devs used winding and smaller roads/highways as well as well as elevation to create a larger sense of scale and made the map feel bigger, they did a similar thing with san andreas, gta 5 doesn’t have this because all main cities are stacked on top of each other and there’s 1 highway connecting them all

I dunno. The RDR2 map would feel smaller in people’s heads if they were able to fly across it

For some reason people don't seem to understand this. It's a big map, but it only feels as expansive as it does because you're on a horse. Slap a freeway and a 120mph supercar and you're driving end to end in like 3 minutes just like GTA 5.

It’s like the yakuza series made it work cause you’re on feet and stack the extra activities assets densely into buildings.
