Jack Marston was born in 1895. That means, if he lived a full long life, he would have lived into the 1980s or possibly the early 1990s. Jack would have seen Star Wars, he could have owned a mobile phone, he would have been almost a hundred at the time but he could have listened to Green Day.
The change in day to day life of the average person during the last century is absolutely insane. The setting of this game feels like a whole different world, very long ago. But really it wasn’t. It was one lifetime ago.
If we imagine a 1995 equivalent of RDR, well we are looking at GTA basically. Enormous difference in the items and buildings and technology and day to day life. But if we go in the other direction, and imagine a late 1700s version of RDR, like Red Dead Revolutionary or something, the game is practically the same. The only real difference is that the guns would be muzzleloaded, no trains, and instead of there being mostly oil light and some electricity, it would be all oil light and no electricity. And that’s really about it.
So yeah, from 1895 to 1795, very little technological or lifestyle difference for most people. You could just basically just reskin the game and you’d be 90% there. But 1895 to 1995, the difference is vast.
It’s interesting to think about.
