The realistic game world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is now even serving a filmmaker as a template for a five-part documentary.
Players can literally lose themselves in the game world of Red Dead Redemption 2. And that even works without actually playing the game itself, as a filmmaker proves with a homemade documentary.
The YouTuber from the channel “8-Bit Bastard” released five approximately 12-minute documentaries, each dedicated to one of the five regions in the game. To contemplative scenes from Ambarino, Lemoyne and Co., the narrator tells interesting facts taken from reality in the style of the great nature filmmaker David Attenborough.
For example, in the first part about the mountain region of Ambarino, you learn how the hot springs and geysers work. The narrator explains why hot water shoots up from the earth and what it has to do with volcanism.
Here you can see the first of the five documentaries:

At the moment, Red Dead Online multiplayer is also seeing a resurgence among fans after months in the doldrums. The latest update Red Dead Online: Blood Money brought new content that revolves around the criminal underworld.
