Comparison across both games.
Notes d'enquête
- Train physics: in RDR1 a train runs you over if you stand on the tracks; in RDR2 Arthur instinctively dives out of the way.
- Blind firing: RDR1 lets you blind-fire fully hidden behind cover; RDR2 forces Arthur to step out and expose himself slightly.
- Cover system: RDR1's cover is snappy and dependable; RDR2's is more restricted and sluggish to transition between.
- NPC damage: RDR1 NPCs limp when shot in the foot and collapse when shot in both legs; RDR2 NPCs keep sprinting no matter how many times you shoot their legs.
Route d'Investigation
Q: Is RDR1's combat better? A: In some ways — its cover and NPC injury reactions are more responsive than RDR2's.
Q: Does RDR2 have better train behaviour? A: It is more cinematic — Arthur dodges instead of being flattened.
