I am so glad this is a good port and we can focus on making the game look fucking amazing instead of fixing issues.

I agree. One thing I would like to see is proper shading in grass and vegetation. Hopefully the modder can add it, and maybe add even more density of grass.

But this version of the mod already makes a huge difference honestly. Totally worth it

Man I love this game

Okay this brought me one step closer to buying it. First sale and it is mine.

As much as I love RD1 I have to say, no.

Seeing Saint Denis at night on ultra settings is something else. The lighting is on a different level

Infact, the whole game is

Did you play RDR 2 on PC?

Yeah I did - though I've never finished it. I normally like higher quality graphics but for some reason I prefer the look of RD1 - don't know if it's the colours or the textures or what. Interestingly I have the same issue with GTA - I prefer the look of GTA4 to GTA5.

No I get that, some old games do have a better aesthetic, I prefer quite a few older games to newer looking ones, God of War, quite a few 16 bit games (They never nail the aesthetic in new '16 bit' looking games) etc

Who in the actual fuck hasn't already played this?

Those what wanted a non potato gameplay with non potato controls.

You're really not helping me not spend another £40

Can you pack it in!

I just always owned all 3 consoles alongside my PC, I don't get this waiting 14 years to play one of the best games ever made. Nowadays you don't even need an Xbox it you have a PC outside a handful of titles.

Like it you had the money for a PC why wouldn't you be able to buy a preowned PS or Xbox? Please help me understand,

For some it's pride/bias (PC=big balls, consoles=toys) but also just not being passionate abut games enough to carry too many physical items, want just one hardware with the most software and if anything misses it, oh well. You might also be averse to growing a library in a platform that commits you to being attached to extra hardware or else lose it.

^^ Just scroll down and download [PC] Beta 2.8

Only problem i have is everytime i start the game via Rockstar game launcher it updates and i have to install the mod again.

 

[evanft]

Alright more mods have started to be released. Here's my current list.

Texture and Graphical Upgrades

• Upscaled Grass Textures is pretty self-explanatory. Replaced by Vanilla Terrain and Vegetation Texture Overhaul
• Upscaled Particles is another texture upgrade mod, this time for some of the little pieces of debris around the world.
• WRC Weapon Wheel upgrades the weapon wheel UI with higher quality weapon icons
• Blood Textures Overhaul upgrades blood textures
• Undead Nightmare 2k AI Upscale is yet another upscale texture mod, this time for some of Undead Nightmare's textures
• All Horses Upscaled 2x upscales the horse textures.
• Reality Redemption is the big overhaul mod everyone is discussing. I'm don't use his sky texture, map, or post-processing changes, but everything else is great.
• Dutch van der Linde Enhanced upscales Dutch's textures.
• Rest Reshade Addon allows MXAO and other depth-based reshade effects to function properly.
• Upscaled Small Animals replaces the textures for smaller animals.
• Upscaled Big Animals like above but for bigger animals.
• Rich Terrain Textures, but only the textures included in the town and rock archives that aren't included with other mods.
• Stools and Tables upscales stool and table textures Merged into Misc and Such below
• Vanilla Terrain and Vegetation Texture Overhaul upgrades a lot of environmental textures.
• Dutch RDR2 Face upgrades Dutch's face
• Misc and Such replaces textures for some of the random crap in the world
• Stagecoach and Such replaces stage coach textures.
• Gun Barrel Smoke adds smoke to gun barrels
• RenoDX - HDR Fix for Red Dead Redemption fixes some of the issues with HDR present in the game.

Quality of Life

• Fusion Mod skips all the intro text and movies
• Alternative Gamepad Prompts allows you to pick the type of gamepad buttons you want to use.
• Clip Tweaks allows the frame rate to go above 144. Also has options for turning off DOF and heat wave effects if you're so inclined. I personally leave off the heat wave but keep DOF.
• Dead Eye Camera Shake Fix fixes some of the shake associated with Dead Eye
• Unhidden Audio Options adds some extra audio options to the menu.

Gameplay Tweaks

• RDR2 Camera Style makes the camera more in line with RDR2's, which I think looks quite good.
• Clearer Pause Menu changes how the pause menu looks. I prefer it to stock.
• Clear Deadeye removes the filter that goes over the screen in Dead Eye mode
• Instant Loot disables looting, animal skinning, and plant gathering animations.
• No Bullet Trails gets rid of the trails that can appear behind bullets
• Paused Weapon Wheel pauses the game when the weapon wheel is brought up.
• RDR2 Minimap V2 changes the minimap to something a bit closer to RDR2's. I only use the background color and surrounding graphic, though. I use the blips from the base game. Replaced with Hand Drawn Radar and Icons
• Wanted Level Logo Akuma Revamped changes the wanted level graphic to be a bit cleaner.
• Unlimited Deadeye since I play with a controller it makes the game much more enjoyable.
• Nifty's Euphoria Ragdoll Tweaks edits some Euphoria ragdoll values.
• Hand Drawn Radar and Icons makes the radar and icons look awesome.

I'm using Ultimate ASI Loader to load the modified files without altering the base game files.

 

[Hrk69]

• Instant Loot disables looting, animal skinning, and plant gathering animations.

Much needed. I love the one-liners Marston drops (especially 'ugh, What were you eating?'), but looting takes up so much time if you think about it

Would Rockstar have released the game looking like this I might have spent those 50 bucks no problem.

Thanks to you and the others who brought this mod to attention. Once that to-do list is done I'll be jumping in.

Does this require rockstar launcher and account to play like GTA Trilogy cause that's a deal breaker for me

The launcher is mandatory

I don't mind their launcher, it's not that intrusive and (I think) it closes automatically when you quit the game.

so it was a bad game all round then from a tech perspective, i only know the PC version and it wasn't good.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

I found this video that shows GTA4 running on old (period correct) PC.

8800GTS at 1080p medium settings around 38-52fps. At 900p 42-65fps. Bear in mind that the x360 version runs at 720p (PS3 sub720p) on low settings at 30fps (with frequent dips to 20-25fps).



My 8800Ultra 768MB had more VRAM than the 8800GTS 512MB, so my performance was even better in this game because GTA4 required a lot of VRAM.

IMO GTA4 ran well on PC (much better compared to consoles) if you were willing to tweak the settings.
