You mean the minor character from a side quest that it's
also brought in GTA?
Wrong character. He's talking about the Strange Man, who isn't in any GTA game. Furthermore, all the red dead references in GTA are simply just promotional and not actually canon. Red Dead doesn't take place in the same universe as any of the gta games.
Or the minor time traveler from a side quest that is a reference to other GTA characters like
Kraff or
Ernest?
None of these are the inspiration behind the Red Dead Time traveler. All you have here in terms of connection is time travel, to which the first dude doesn't have and the second one isn't anything like the one from Red Dead. It's also literally just satire in GTA, I don't even need to explain why if you bothered playing the game.
Quite frankly this is just more blatant Causation with no real backing. Do you actually have statements of these beings references to one another other than "I said so"?
The robot made from the
minor character that is'ts a reference to Tesla and the trope of mad scientist like Frankestein?
This is literally irrelevant and has nothing to do with the topic on hand. The topic bringing it up is about proving supernatural shit does exist in Red Dead.
Or the ghost that it's a reference to La Llorona?
Read above, it being a reference to La Llorona does not matter. Furthermore you don't have any legitimate sources to make this claim.
Or the big foot which it's a
reference to GTA?
Happened first in Red Dead. In GTA it was just a dude in a custom, in Red Dead it's the real thing. Also you know for a fact that GTA is the one making a reference to Red Dead, as Red Dead came out before GTA 5 making that argument moot and null due to GTA having borrowed the idea from the first Red Dead Game while also being different due to it not being the real big foot.
Or the zombies added in a dlc (aka Call of Duty Zombies equivalent in the years when Call of Duty Zombies was popular) where there are
differences compared with the actual main story? The same dlc that it's explicitly said to be non canon and a separate thing?
You really don't even know what your talking about huh? Nobody ever mentioned Undead Nightmare, the argument comes from Night Folk who are Zombies and not apart of any DLC.
This is from the same interview where the developer straight up call RDR non supernatural and clarify that they just wanted to give it some humour:
Okay? First of all, that's not what was said. They said that they wanted to impose it, which obviously it didn't do due to the aforementioned reasons. Secondly, yeah I'm gonna need a link to that interview and see what developer made that statement because there's more than one developer for the game.
But this isn't the only interview where they clarify that they wanted RDR to
feel as realistic as possible but still be fun.
Your intentionally ignoring the context here. This past of the interview literally is about horse riding, which they put great amounts of detail in. I find it very dishonest for you to attempt to use these scans as a way to fit your narrative.
Also this is a straight up lie. They said verbatim "we want it to feel realistic, but we don't necessarily want it to be realistic." This is about the game feeling realistic, not it being realistic.
which explains why all the supernatural stuff are just minor Easter Eggs that don't reflect in the actual main narrative of the game.
Yet this is never stated and I've already debunked your "references" Red Dead and GTA are not apart of the same universe, worked on by different Rockstar studios and teams, its been said that all the easter eggs of Rdrd in GTA are literally for the sake of promotions.
Which it's why it wouldn't make sense for them to add a big supernatural super power to the protagonist without ever mentioning or acknowledging said power in the lore or narrative of the work.
Read above. All you've been doing is loosely connection shit that have no real connections, linked a interview that isn't talking about the game as a whole, rather its horse riding mechanics, making up entire scenarios, etc.
It's also important to note that Rockstar straight up says that
their games are build based in their previous games (heck they went so far to note how RDR 2 was
especially influenced from their previous games.)
This is literally a reference to the gamimg engine. They build their games based off the the engine and gameplay of previous games, furthermore this is only applicable to The Red Dead revolver and Redemption games.
which is why they have so many similar elements and references between them.
Yet the references aren't canon, come from multiple different timelines, etc. The Red dead references are literally stated to be only used to promote Rdrd2 in GTA 5.
so to compare the slow motion mechanics between both games it's perfectly valid and logic as, per the developers own words, they took the good things of the other games.
Again more causation. They took certain elements as inspiration, not that they're exactly the same. Red Dead's Dead-Eye is stated to slow down time itself multiple times, whereas GTA 5 makes it abundantly clear the trio aren't actually slowing down time.
so that along with the fact that it's never acknowledge in lore to be any sort of time alteration supernatural ability.
Sure if you wanna ignore the countless Databook and in game statements.
and it's instead a cognitive ability the characters have thanks to their great skill at certain things (like GTA special abilities)
Yeah no. Arthur was able to copy Dead-Eye, Mike, Trevor and Frankin obtained their shit by years of experience. Your essentially comparing apples to oranges. While we're at it, let's also downgrade everyone from any Rockstar game to what we're shown in Bully bc it's main character is a kid. That's the type of faulty logic your using here.
something that requires less assumptions than say that the protagonists possess an supernatural power never mentioned in lore.
Not really. For my argument no assumptions are being made, I'm using various statements along with the verse having supernatural aspects unlike what you've been claiming.
If you didn't know, drugs can actually affect the cognition of people.
Cool, good thing Arthur isnt taking those certain drugs nor is his medicine described in such a way. This is yet another baseless assumption.
there is actually even an specific type of substances know as cognitive enhancers that boost the cognition of people. Now, said drugs doesn't make people gain the ability to see in slow motion in real life indeed.
My guy that's irrelevant unless you think they were using that shit back in the old west era. Secondly, again the items are never stated to be able to do this so yet again we have even more evidence of you blatantly using baseless assumptions.
but in a game where the developers wanted to make things fun while still feeling realistic it's understable how they would choose to exaggerate their effects to some extent.
This is never stated nor implied, matter of fact the Guidebook makes it very clear this isn't just for fun.
or more specifically exaggerate what those drugs would do with very skilled people. After all, even in this same thread.
Show me any of Arthur's items being stated to slow down the perception of time. If that were the case eveyone in Red Dead would be able to use Dead-Eye by using these items.
@Starter_Pack have also brought a similar phenomenon with how in life-threatening situations time seems to slow down, which can also apply in this case. Because if you didn't know the main intention of the developers with Dead Eye was the player experience, not an supernatural ability that manipulate time itself:
Starter Pack literally agreed with it being time manipulation.
Ultimately your argument is very ignorant of the canonicity of Rockstar Games to one another, misinterpreting what's in the interview, mixing events up (such as saying big foot was in GTA first which isn't the case.), baseless assumptions that are debunked by themselves (Saying items are responsible for slowing down the perception of time whenever that's never stated and contradicted by the fact that this never happens whenever anyone consumes these items.), and blatant misinformation.
