Recently released Ghost of Yotei has impressed many players with its incredible attention to detail — down to realistic reflections in characters’ eyes. But does it have what it takes to dethrone Red Dead Redemption 2? YouTuber Comparaholic set out to find out.
It’s worth noting right away that, graphically, RDR 2 is beginning to show its age — the game could certainly use a remaster with higher polygon counts and improved textures. However, when it comes to physics, environment, and animations, Rockstar’s western still holds its ground: compared to Ghost of Yotei, the water simulation, gunplay, character movement, and world interactions all feel noticeably superior.
The video also compares horse riding, snow physics, animal models, fire propagation, surface sliding, and several other technical aspects.
Previously, reports indicated that a potential Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster is still in development. Meanwhile, Red Dead Online has launched a new Halloween-themed event featuring exclusive content and special bonuses.
