Support NeoGAF

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

I would buy this right away.

 

[Dreathlock]

Along with a 60 FPS patch for RDR2, right ?

This. It´s mindblowing that they don´t give a next gen patch for RDR2.

 

[tusharngf]

Hell YEAH !!

 

[Codeblew]

I would probably buy this. I bought the original but didn't get too far into it. Real life took me away from gaming for awhile and I never got back to it. I really enjoyed the RDR2 so I would give it a try again.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yay another grovestreet remake

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Hopefully its just a remaster and they don't fuck with the gameplay too much. I really like RDR2 but it can get extremely tedious with everything having an unskippable bespoke animation.

Who gives a shit that it sold 50 million right

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Remaster only? No Remake?

Exactly why i’ll pass.

 

[Business]

Criminal if it's not a remake considering they have a lot of assets at RDR2 level already.

 

[cash_longfellow]

4k60 with fast load times is really all this needs on console.

 

[rodrigolfp]

There is already a remaster. 4K+ 60+ on Xenia.

Ftfy.

 

[KWAB]

Last time I heard Colin leak something was Bloodborne Remaster and Bloodborne 2 in October 2021. We're still waiting. I think this will end up the same way.

 

[Paasei]

Only interesting if there's a PC release.

 

[Perrott]

The slow and methodical approach in the second one made it so much better as far as I'm concerned. I'd love a remake of 1 with the same slow burn that 2 had, it made it so relaxing. No way is this a remake though, can guarantee this will be the gaming equivalent of a rare steak, chop the horns off, wipe its arse and serve it.

Well, the South Korean rating made reference to human dismemberment technology that was first implemented into Rockstar's RAGE engine in RDR2. So that suggests me that the whole RDR is being remade from the ground up on the latest version of the engine, on which they also have 2/3 of the original RDR map completely remade with modern assets and materials due to the inclusion of those areas in the RDR2 map.

 

[killatopak]

I’ll finally be able to try the Zombie DLC which will hopefully be included. I heard great things about it but couldn’t buy it then.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Hope this is real and coming to PC.

 

[The Stig]

I would buy this right away.

same. day one

I really hope you're right but that seems like a mammoth undertaking to me

 

[Raven117]

I’d give it another go. This one was better than 2 IMO.

Why take a risk of doing a new game when you can just update an old one and sell it for big $$$.... everything that is wrong with modern gaming in a nutshell.

 

[MMaRsu]

Consoles only would suck

I mean they made RDR2 which cost a pretty penny and probably 7-8 years to make. Im sure they could do a RDR3 eventually but perhaps something new after GTA6

 

[Fake]

There are only two rinks here, one if they want to remake a game instead of remaster, with would force them to use RDR2 engine and realocate folks working on GTA6 to do the job. The remaster inself don't take risks unless you hire some shit company like they did with GTA remaster to do it.

 

[Kurotri]

Not really interested unless it's a full on remake tbh.

Oh, shut up already. Red Dead Redemption is an incredibly beloved, generation-defining masterpiece of a game that very unfortunately is only accessible through backwards compability on the least popular of all gaming consoles. It really could use a current-gen re-release - including a PC version, which it never had - that serves as a more seamless follow-up to Red Dead Redemption 2 in terms of gameplay, visuals and maybe story as well.

You're getting Grand Theft Auto VI anyway, so quit being a dick about it, because this was on the absolute top of requested projects from the Rockstar community alongside a remake of GTA IV.

 

[Kokoloko85]

This is what I want more than RDR Remaster

 

[Hawkeye2890]

I know some are disappointed that this is not a remake but we need to support the hell out of this if we want more RDR.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

After what happened with GTA, why would anyone want this? It’s like people here have the memory of a goldfish.

I played through the PS3 version for the first time last year and it was fantastic. No remake necessary.

 

[Skifi28]

Releasing any game is not necessary, but we like to play them anyway. Many people like the convenience of running software on their current platform instead of having 20 other systems plugged in to play older games at low resolutions and fps.

 

[kiphalfton]

If they gave it to Grove Street Games (i.e. "Monkey Paw Games") to work on, may as well not release anything at all.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Unless you haven’t played red dead redemption before I’d just pass.

 

[March Climber]

It's coming Wednesday.

 

[Laieon]

That was developed by another studio. Maybe that's the case with this, maybe it isn't. I'm excited unless I'm given a reason not to be.

 

[xrnzaaas]

A shame if it's only a remaster (which means not based on RDR2's engine). Doesn't the Series X version already improve graphically over the original?

A remake on the RDR2 Engine would be really something. But probably its not at this degree.

 

[M.W.]

Yeah, do not expect this.

 

[RavenSan]

I'm in the same boat as some others here. If it retains the gameplay of the original, I'm in. I couldn't even finish the second one, I just hated the way it played (i.e. the 'cores' system)

 

[Kings Field]

I really enjoyed the first RDR. The second one not so much. I would probably buy this in a heartbeat since I haven’t played it in a while.

 

[MMaRsu]

A remaster is cool but imagine this game in the RDR2 engine

 

[YCoCg]

Series X runs the game in 4k/2xMSAA/16xAF so really if they want to do this then it's got to at least match that and be 60fps if they want to charge people otherwise what's the point? ...unless they do the Rockstar thing and pull the original from being sold and deactivate copies on peoples consoles.

 

[Perrott]

I believe Rockstar ended their partnership with Grove Street Games following the GTA Trilogy shitshow. The studio now seems to be a support team in the development of Ark II.

 

[Ebele]

agreed with a lot of you. Loved the original. The sequel was beautiful and nice to look at but was a bit of a chore to play. Both games have amazing stories though

 

[Gambit2483]

A remaster is cool but imagine this game in the RDR2 engine

That's what I'm hoping for. Maybe not a full on Remake but hell...if they could implement some (not all but enough to impress) of the lighting, texture mapping and physics from RDR2 that would be amazing.

It's probably too much to hope for considering this is "new" Rockstar but hopefully they aren't completely lazy with this one.

 

[Pelao]

I'm only interested if it actually runs at 60fps or more. I already have RDR1 in 4K on my Xbox Series X.

 

[chlorate]

RDR2 has a combination of “heavy”-feeling animations with a lot of frontswing/startup lag, some guns that take two button presses to fire, and generally lower framerates than other games. These factors combine to give the player the impression their inputs are not registering, which is unpleasant and the game is kind of headache-inducing as a result.

RDR1 feels much smoother.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Can we expect a physical version for this remaster/remake?

No lol

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I got pulled back into RDR2 on PC recently and am about 10 hours in. This game is absolutely incredible on PC. It plays so much better at a higher frame rate and the controls are great.

Definitely do want RDR1 on PC. What a fantastic game that is!

Pretty sure this was done intentionally. Rockstar has always been obsessed with player movement involving weight and momentum. They don't want their games feeling like a Mario platform where if you gently touch the controller your character will start and stop movement on a dime (relatively). They want your movements to be intentional and with consequences.

Some of the QoL mods on the PC are nice as well. Like the "fast skinning" one, as well as toggles to run.

Agreed, I got a ‘no vignette’ mod which does so much for every scene. I also downloaded the damage overhaul mod and some euphoria stuff. It really goes that but further to bring the game to life.
