I guess this confirms the rumours that they're putting out a remaster of this game, let's hope it's not complete dog shit like the GTA ones were, here they're at least competing with Backwards Compatibility on Xbox Series which runs the game at 4k/30/2xMSAA/16xAF on Series X.

 

[adamsapple]

Even if this turns out to be another Grove Street type 'remaster', at least there's a very competent version available via backwards compatibility already as a good fallback.

Unless they nuke it from digital stores ala GTA.

I just finished a second playthrough of the second game, bring it on Rockstar.

 

[Laieon]

RDR1 Remaster SP

It's a demake. Game Boy Advance SP exclusive.

 

[T-Cake]

There was no mobile version of RDR1 so hopefully it will start off from a better place.

Anything but it running in the RDR2 engine (or beyond) would be a huge disappointment for me.

All that money they rake in.

It is a little strange because the Xbox version is running at 4K30 so for them this will likely just be an fps boost to 60. Whilst that’s obviously great, it would be good to see some other changes too and the inclusion of the expansion.

I mean logically it would be done in the RDR2 engine given the map is pretty much already in that

Not really hard to find a physical copy

Why would you want it in an engine that basically tells you to get fucked in regards to respecting your time?

I don't hold my breath after the Trilogy shitshow, but would love to be pleasantly surprised.

We can't even get a 60fps patch with a resolution boost and 4K textures for the current gen machines on an almost 60m seller.

That's not an engine thing. Still one of my GOAT games, RDR2.

Looking forward to the pinkertons coming to my house and nuking this.

 

[Södy]

If they remade this with the RDR2 engine and release it on consoles only, I'd buy a PS5. If it's "just" a remaster, then I'll keep playing the 360 version on Xenia I guess. If it's on PC and a remake - day one.

 

[rofif]

I remember they lost the source code and builds or some shit (unimaginable in such a company) and remaster was never possible because of that

 

[adamsapple]

Looking forward to the pinkertons coming to my house and nuking this.

I got them separately, hence the different branding

 

[Del_X]

I'm thinking this isn't gonna be a full-blown remaster (would love to be wrong). High res textures and a good GI update would be nice.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I don't want any of the gameplay changes from RDR2. I love it, but it gets so freaking tedious

 

[DeepEnigma]

I don't think the source code was lost, it was just supposedly held together by duct tape and a miracle that it even ran on the consoles, let alone trying to make a PC version after that.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I love these reprint runs they did, I tried to track GTA 4 too but couldn't find one for a decent price. Its the best way to own these old games that are BC imo.

 

[FoxMcChief]

RDR1>RDR2

I couldn’t disagree more. I love both games, but RDR2 is a masterpiece in open world design and immersion.

 

[Fake]

Lets fucking go.

RDR1>RDR2

This.

 

[adamsapple]

Yes. RDR 2 is a sublime production but it's a slog to play. I want to be able to park my horse right over a dead animal to skip the skinning animation, thank you.

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

RDR1RSP

Red Dead Redemption 1 Remake... Single Player?

Did the original have multiplayer? Maybe they’re remastering the campaign and need to be specific?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yeah, that’s not what RDR2 is. It’s basically an outlaw simulator.

RDR1 is a western GTA.

Both are great, but have very different gameplay mechanics.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

RDR1>RDR2

I agree. I played through RDR1 a few years ago and couldn’t put it down. I started RDR2 a few weeks ago and only lasted two days. I was like six hours in and still felt like a tutorial. They put too much stuff into the game.

 

[AJUMP23]

If grove street games did it....then forget it.

 

[Draugoth]

If it grove street games you can skip this without looking back

 

[adamsapple]

If it grove street games yo ucan skip this without looking back

Plot twist, they've renamed to Armadillo Street Games.

 

[SCB3]

Someone pointed out how linear and scripted the Missions are in RDR2, you really cannot deviate from what the game wants you to do and I can't look past how outdated that was, I loved my time in it though

[Xtib81]

Rockstar would shit the bed if it didn't run on rdr2's engine. But knowing them, it's gonna be higher res textures and better framerate and they'll call it a day.

Ok so does it have to be if they want to drop news at the same time ?

 

[saintjules]

Looks like rumor has been around since late 2021. A Reddit post and Colin Moriarty discussed it.

It's been rumoured for a while but that they also shelved remasters of RDR1 and GTA IV after the chaos shit drip that was GTA DE, could be that they brought it back and the website update seems to be proof, now it's just hoping that this is actually decent.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Oh man…this would be a day one purchase assuming they don’t fuck it up.

 

[Draugoth]

Edit: Image is fake, but the game is real.

I'm so ready, bring it!

The only thing that makes me think that that shot is bullshit is that the GTAV re release/updated version for the current gen didnt get a "Remastered" added to it. It was the plain ol GTAV title. So what gives? What's the difference?

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Are we expecting RDR1 with RDR2 graphics or just higher resolution/framerate of the original?

Because there were ready 2 version of gta5 and this being a lot older

Age and relevance. GTAV is still being played (*milked) to this day and has been done for the better part of 10 years over 3 console generations. RDR1 hasn't been heard from since it released in 2010 apart from being added to Xbox backwards compatibility, which isn't quite the same as a proper remastering.

 

[Chuck Berry]

.......What?

 

[NeonGhost]

.......What?

There were 2 versions on gta5 before the current version they went the tern next gen version. Red dead redemption i a lot older and harder to play unless you are a Xbox user

 

[Cashon]

I think that Red Dead Redemption 2 was the culmination of everything that games had been leading up to, at that time. One of the best games I've ever played, including the original.

That being said, I hope this is a remake of the first game, using the engine of the second game, but only with the first game's mechanics. I'd like it to be as faithful as possible, outside of visuals.

Yeah I really hope they keep in all of the unskippable skinning and plant picking animations

 

[BennyBlanco]

Day 1 if true. I’m skeptical that they’re doing anything that isnt GtA6 and more GTA online shit at this point. They’re becoming like activision or epic, a shitload of devs just turning the crank on their golden goose. Hard to blame them I guess but I miss rockstar when they were doing weird shit like Bully and The Warriors.
