And just for reference

They're both his face it's just different graphics same happens with Ross,Javier,Dutch and Abigail along with Bill whose eyebrows are more realistic vs hairy hedges above his eyes.. makn piount is that One is 2010 Rockstar graphics while the other is 2018 graphics made for new gen systems. A similar stance is GTA IV & GTA V whuch are part of the HD Universe collectively however if you look at some characters from 2008 when they reappear in GTA V/GTA Online in 2013-2020s they look fairly the same or vastly different. Examples include Brucie Klubitz,Johnny K, The Lost from GTA IV, Tony Prince, Packie McReary and the many celebs who crossover from GTA IV who are seen more detailed in the face and body.

Dude, we know that. But regardless of the reasons, there are several differences

Not really, consideringJohn is younger in the years 1899-1907 compared to 191.1. so in addition to graphical changes, Age also plays a factor as well as lighting.

His clothes as a primary example. We all know John's Trademark attire since the 2010 RDR release. However his clothing particularly the collar is buttoned up in 1911 as well as seeming tightly compacted. Whereas in RDR2 the collar is unbuttoned while the rest of his attire is vastly more detailed. With the woven lines and ruffles in the shirt. It all goes back to the graphics details that differ in both games Rufus appears as a any yellow lab in RDR but in RDR2 his fur is more shaggy his eyes have color. And instead of his mouth just being black with teeth. His mouth is pink has saliva and, he has expressions throughout the day releastic to an actual dog. Even bugs fly around him,unlike the original game where there's sound ,but not any shown in his vicinity.
