RDR2 doesn’t take place in the Rockstar Universe...


One thing that sunk my heart was finding out that RDR2 does not take place in the same universe as GTA, Bully, Manhunt, and other Rockstar titles. I liked the idea of a Rockstar Expanded Universe, but I guess they decided not to include RDR in that universe? Why did they break pace?

For the record, the game mentions New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, despite that those cities shouldn’t exist in a Rockstar game.

GTA is set in a highly satirised world whereas Red Dead is not. It takes itself more seriously.
