LOL, Jesus Christ.

Less than the bare minimum.

Same as the GTA Trilogy. Really sad to see this kind of output from R*..

 

[Elder Legend]

Poor Rockstar clearly just doesn't have enough money to port over to PS5 with actual updates. Come on guys, be nice. They're barely scrapping by with GTA 5 online. It's not easy now.

GTA Trilogy was a bust, but people actually worked on that.

This release is nothing. Nothing at all.

Wow, just a port? 30fps 720p?
Unbelievable.

 

[adamsapple]

Wow, just a port? 30fps 720p?
Unbelievable.

PS4 version will likely have PS4 Pro support, could be 1440p/30, 2160p/30, we don't know yet.

Switch maybe 900p or something.

PS4 screenshots are 4k, Switch 1080p.

Still gonna sell a lot sadly. People are stupid and they wonder why publishers treat them like fools

There is no spinning necessary. It's an enhanced port. That's what I personally wanted so I am happy.

Only took one post to be proven correct.

Ok, not the absolute joke I initially thought then. Still pretty lackluster to not offer a 60fps mode on PS5, similar to the GTAV release.

 

[Red5]

R* pissing off PC gamers isn't anything new, but if they're going to port it to PS4 why not PS5 too? It has the same architecture.

Bewildering business decision.

 

[IDKFA]

At least they're throwing in Undead Nightmare.

That's probably the only positive thing I have to say about this.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

very curious to see how Red Dead and the Arkham trilogy run on Switch. hoping to be pleasantly surprised after the excellent port of Nier Automata

The guest on today's Grubb episode says they were given a heads up in advance before the announcement and were told this is the same as the BC version. No enhancements over the same game (likely 360 equivalent version instead of the worse PS3 one) in higher resolution.

 

[Chuck Berry]

It’s actually really sad to see how far this company has fallen. Rockstar had close to 20 years of pretty much non stop greatness (2001-2018) and now we get this.

Don’t give them your money and start following The Benz and Dan Housers new companies.

 

[GooseMan69]

Oh fuck off. This is like reheating leftovers that somebody else made in the microwave and going “SO proud of our kitchen staff ”

I bet reeeee is already banning people for “lazy dev rhetoric”.

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

Any tinfoilhat rant why is it only ps4 and switch?

200+ million unites sold offers a compelling installed base + the fact ps5 has retro

While I share the disappointment since I was hoping for a Steam release, but porting from PowerPC architecture (X360) to ARM (Switch) and x86 (PS4) isn't exactly simple.

 

[iorek21]

Wow, this is just worst than I thought, unbelievable.

All those rumors dating back 2018 about remaking RDR1 map were fake and THIS is what we get?

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

Xbox has already has it via BC. This is just porting the PS3 version to PS4 (dunno what release the Switch version will be based on). So... you already have it, you're not missing anything.

I was going of the comment Microsoft made that is acceptable to just buy things because it stops them missing out on exclusives. Biggest hypocritical bullshit I've heard mind but yeah.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Fantastic get for those new to the series. Glad more people get to experience it.

 

[nowhat]

I almost thought that was the case, but... well, seeing some of the comments here (and elsewhere), you just can't be sure now can you. But I appreciate you not using "/s", kinda takes the whole point out of sarcasm.

 

[lmimmfn]

Sounds crap, glad it's not on PC.

Finished it on PS3, gfx resolution and framerate were crap, game was great though.

More Rockstar shovelware, no thanks.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Assuming it's a solid port I'll probably get it on the day it comes out and then pick up a disc in a few years for cheap.

 

[Ryuji Goda]

Lol a fucking port

 

[Paulistano]

DF called it perfect emulation of the 360 version, no idea what latency you're talking about. I've played both RDR and Undead Nightmare on SX myself, they look and play great without a single drop from the 360 and with 16x AF.

Why are people in this thread saying the game runs at 60fps with backwards compatibility on Xbone and Series if the video clearly shows it running at 30fps?

 

[JimboJones]

Nice to get an official hand held version but I always thought this was meant to be some kind of nightmare to port.

 

[Esppiral]

200+ million unites sold offers a compelling installed base + the fact ps5 has retro

Or maybe, just maybe there is a 4k version that has been available on Xbox since "forever" also, cheaper

 

[Timberwolf25]

Does the X360 version of RDR GOTY Ed include the Nightmare dlc?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Does the X360 version of RDR GOTY Ed include the Nightmare dlc?

Yes. RDR GotY Edition came with Undead Nightmare.

 

[frahko]

Don't kid yourselves, this is just baiting for something targeted at ps5/sx coming up soon.

 

[Three]

All it has is additional languages. It’s probably going to be 720p/30.

I doubt this. It means in terms of content or asset updates there is only additional languages but the video itself is greater than 720p and looks like 60fps.

 

[adamsapple]

No one said that ?

Does the X360 version of RDR GOTY Ed include the Nightmare dlc?

Yes, and all the multi-player things too IIRC.

Also, FYI, Undead Nightmare was also released as a separate standalone disc, so in case you find the two separately cheaper, that's just as good of an option.

 

[GooseMan69]

I get it. My analogy was an oversimplification. I just crack up when I see devs on Twitter patting each other on the pack after charging full price for a bog standard product. I would never harass a dev (or anyone) online, but it’s like, read the room, know what I mean?

A company of rockstars stature putting out something like this is a joke.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

BRB, imagining how the ports will be much worse than the ps3 version.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Thanks, I remember buying the physical ed years back during Black Friday, but just checked and saw I also have the digital version of it.
I never got very far into RDR as I've never do in any open world game. Maybe I'll give it another shot

The higher resolution and AF makes a huge difference to the presentation. The game holds up very well even today.

And I agree with the folks who said porting this to the RDR2 engine would have likely lessened my enjoyment. I am not a big fan of how deliberately animation heavy RDR2 is.

 

[Ploopmonster832]

This is the saddest news Rockstar has released in a while. I mean a straight port onto the PS4 and switch?!? What happened to PC? how about even attempting to do a remaster or something? After seeing something like BG3 come out and seeing how great it is and how much the devs listen to the community it blows my mind that Rockstar can act like this

 

[Putonahappyface]

Wow, just a port? 30fps 720p?
Unbelievable.

 

[TGO]

Yep that’s what makes it laughable to me. The asking price and no effort.

Sadly the dirty casuals will pay for it.
My sister's boyfriend literally just play's Red Dead Redemption 2 every day for the last 5 years, nothing else.
And I'm not over exaggerating
He got ot a PS5, play's Red Dead Redemption 2 on it and new games are still sealed.
This he will buy.

 

[Zane Zaminski]

Not even a remaster

Indeed, they have the money and manpower to give what the people want and they clearly know what we want, it's like they're pissing people off on purpose at this espescially after the GTA trilogy shit remake.

 

[Futaleufu]

So the whole "spaghetti code" narrative was bullshit all the time?

I don’t understand. What does he do?
