There are few games that are as detail-oriented as Red Dead Redemption 2. Every action and interaction is carefully designed, rather than using snap mechanics like most other games do. Some players love it, others find it tedious, but there's no denying it takes a long time, especially considering how big the game is anyway.

Why we don't see games influenced by Red Dead Redemption 2
Why aren't more games riding on the success of RDR2?
Traveling from one city to another takes a long time, even with fast travel. Stopping to pick up resources or interact with the open world only adds to that time. Maybe that's why one player decided to speed up the game's horses and carts. However, it didn't just double or triple the speed, they made them go super sonic.
Red Dead Rocket
A modder known as Blurbs decided to change the speed of all the wagons in Red Dead Redemption 2 and make them gallop at unimaginable speeds. You might think this makes playing RDR2 more convenient since you can fast travel, but you couldn't be more wrong. These supersonic train cars created pandemonium all over the map.
While the wagons will get from place to place without any external force, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a very populated one. As seen in the video, this sent the wagons flying towards Arthur Morgan before he realized what was happening. A quiet ride in the countryside could have you turning into a blob on the road before you know it.
Things are even worse in populous cities like St. Dennis, where a large concentration of pedestrians and wagons has led to what looks like a war zone. A quick look at the Blurbs video shows just how quickly these rocket powered wagons will sneak up on you and spray you before you know it. “It's a horror game now,” he said, referring to the trouble these wagons cause.
That's not all. These intense speeds sometimes cause absolute destruction of the game's physics, resulting in some wagons gaining the ability to fly. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899, the Wright brothers were three years away from inventing the airplane.
Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark thinks some of the endings in Red Dead Redemption 2 don't make sense, but he'd be really confused if he saw supersonic flying carriages in 1899.
As a prequel to the original game, Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 sees you take on the role of Arthur Morgan – an outlaw looking for redemption – as he and the Van der Linde gang are on the run during a time when the Wild West is on the wane. .
