Edit:
$50 for a port (not even a remaster) onto a last gen console? and not even a PC release?! man i'm disappointed to say the least.
Goddamn I've been looking forward to a release for years now but goddamn this is sad.
THE MAJORITY OF THE MAP IS ALREADY DONE IN RDR2. JUST REBUILD THE GAME AS DLC FOR THAT. Ffs we're all willing to shill out major dollars for Rdr1 to be remade in rdr2s engine and with West Elizabeth already existing in RDR2s map you could easily just continue on from the end of 2 into 1!
Hell most of the characters are in 2 as well! Port the quests and voice acting over, not saying it's not massive but ffs that's the 60 dollar DLC we'd ALL gladly pay for!
Goddamn studio execs are morons.
Edit I see that there are rumors and speculation that a full PS5/XSX/PC remaster is also possible, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it. I really hope so, but I'm just so annoyed with how game studios handle this now. If they need cashflow in between major releases then do what Witcher did with Blood & Wine. We don't need a new engine for every small release, release a decent DLC and honestly I'd pay $50-60 bucks for it. Blood and Wine deserved the $40 and honestly maybe a bit more. If they redid RDR1 as DLC to RDR2 I think it'd be very fair to pay $60 for it and it wouldn't require a whole new engine.
That's the thing - loads of people are also willing to shell out for a port
Why make a decent profit by remaking the game, when you can have a small team port the game over a few weeks and rake in basically 100% profit
I'd wager the difference between the number of copies that would see for a remake vs for a port is depressingly low
That's probably true sadly, but still only ps4 and switch... Which I guess are the two systems that don't have back compat.
That's the thing about rdr1 though, they could basically name their price a true remaster and tons of people would buy a full one too. You could set a ludicrous number like 150 and I shamefully would still buy it if it were a good remaster.
You might be willing to pay an absurd amount, but you're definetely in the minority there, most people will definetely not be willing to pay more than $60 for a remaster
No love for pc this time around either? 😭
Time to switch emulate the port of a PS3/Xbox 360 game, maybe then it can finally run well on my system
Xenia Canary runs RDR really well if you haven't tried it yet. I was surprised I was able to get through the entire game without problems on my ~5yr old gaming laptop.
For some reason I can only just get it playable with an RX 6800 and R7 5700X, tried Xenia and RPCS3
Gonna do the same here
Switch emulation is actually pretty good now, so we have hope.
Typical Rockstar bullshit.
Wow! A port of a 13 year old game will soon run on 10 year old hardware? Keep on innovating R*!
And their release of the GTA trilogy was just so stellar.... They seem like Square Enix with their classic games, in not caring about them anymore.
$49.99 - That's a bit of a stretch for me.
Followed by a PC release... right? RIGHT?
The fact that this is only going to PS4 and Switch makes me think a remake really is coming...
Maybe it's because XBox can still play it through Backwards Compatibility.
And on One X and Series X, it plays at 4K with 16x Anisotropic Filtering along with auto HDR
Yeah something's not quite right.
