Rockstar Games seems ready to leave the dusty trail of Red Dead Redemption 2 behind, but players certainly aren't with one recently sharing a new discovery regarding pine cones. Rockstar Games recently confirmed it was working on Grand Theft Auto 6, shifting tons of resources to it to make sure the game lives up to massive expectations. As part of this, Rockstar has updated its credit to say "thank you" to everyone who has worked on Red Dead Redemption 2, posting something very similar to Grand Theft Auto 5 recently as well.

Many fans have taken this as an indication that Rockstar is moving on, at least mostly. While Red Dead Online is basically on autopilot, the goodbye in GTA 5 is interesting because it is the company's most popular title. That doesn't mean Red Dead 2 is lacking though, and if anything, it's likely many fans may continue coming back to the game for the years to come.

After all, few games boast such a strong community so long after Red Dead Redemption 2's 2018 launch. This is self-evident in Redditor Omega3568's recent discovery. It's pretty simple: while near a tree and backing out of a ledger, Omega3568 notices a pine cone fall from a tree. It stands to reason many have seen this in real life, but few have noticed it in Red Dead Redemption 2 or any other game for that matter.

Indeed, Red Dead Redemption 2 has made a name for itself because of how thoroughly detailed every system is. Red Dead Redemption 2's open world feels like a living, breathing environment instead of a checklist of activities to do. Pinecones fall from trees because of course they do. Bodies left behind don't disappear; they decompose. And even deer in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be pursued by predators or end up locking antlers with another. These are simple things, but because so few games pay such attention to detail, it stands out.

The big question for many is how Red Dead Redemption 2's realism will impact future Rockstar titles. Grand Theft Auto 6 probably isn't going to worry so much about pine cones falling from trees, but whenever Rockstar returns to its beloved western franchise, which it should, Red Dead Redemption 3 is going to have to push that realism even further. Every small detail, including the pine cones, has to matter.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
