    Red Dead Redemption is a game that will stand the test of time no matter what. Similar to the westerns of the past like ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly’. It’s a 13-year-old game, but the charm is still there. Well-written characters, an open world full of exploration, and good gameplay are enough to hold up strong. The West will always hold a special place in my heart and life. ‘Red Dead Redemption’ will always be a masterpiece.

    It's a shame that the port shows so little effort, because the original game is still a masterpiece. Even with the flaws of the port, you should definitively play it.

    Red Dead Redemption is an unbelievably good game, even in 2023, however the lack of effort put into elevating the game to the current day’s technical benchmarks damages its modern legacy.

    Regardless of the feature-light port and general sparseness of the package, Red Dead Redemption still earns its place as one of the finest games ever made. Even if its follow-up improved upon everything, this was a joyful blast to the past, reminding me that all greatness starts somewhere. For those looking to live out another cowboy fantasy before Rockstar decides to release Red Dead Redemption III, they can certainly do worse than this.

    Although it is not the version expected by many players, Red Dead Redemption shows strength as one of the best games of all time. The 2023 version is the most stable option, but it could be much better.

    There's no way to dislike this, Red Dead Redemption was a fantastic game and still is today, but this is a shameless cash grab like no other.

    The bottom line here is that Red Dead Redemption deserves so much more.

    Switch and PS4 players who never had the chance to play this masterpiece, now can.

    Many complain that it brings little news or the price, yes, but surely if they had done a remake or a remastering changing things there would also be complaints.

    The same press that did not take into account the price of some "remake" recently, now puts it as a negative of this game

    It's a port, a good port on both consoles that exactly resembles the original changing the resolution on ps4 and switch 1080p (improved on ps4 pro and ps5, 4k), shadow improvements and less blur, with some new subtitle languages ​​plus the dlc (one of the best dlc ever).

    Remember that in the case of playstation it could be free if the console was backwards compatible, sony's fault.

    The original game is a masterpiece and even with a few additions this version still is. And even with the years that have passed and taking that into account, it seems to me a much better game than current games.

Don't listen to a bunch of people on the internet who can't seem to form an opinion of their own without reading and regurgitating some angry kid on Twitter/X's opinion first. If you haven't had a chance to play the game, or you want the game on a system that isn't rendering in 640p and possibly either buried in a garage or in your kid's room somewhere, don't hesitate. This is an incredibly solid port, and despite what others may think, it does take work to port a thirteen year old game to modern systems. It isn't lazy, it isn't bad, these people are simply miffed that they didn't get Red Dead Redemption 2: The Marston Years. It is a little disappointing that it runs at 30fps on PS4 Pro and PS5, but it's still solid for what it is. The price may seem a little daunting, and I agree, BUT these guys screaming that the Xbox version is cheaper are full of it. This version includes all of the DLC, which on Xbox is roughly $13 plus $29.99 for the base game. That brings the total to $42.99 plus tax. You're saving a whooping $7.01. I would say that genuinely isn't that big of a deal. Use reason people, make up your own minds, and don't let some angry dorks influence your decision. Do the research and trust your gut, buy it on sale if you don't want to pay the $50, because it WILL be on sale at some point. Also, RockStar and their Publishers will not 'listen to your wallet'. The problem with that logic is twofold. For one, there is going to be a whole lot of people that don't have an Xbox and have either never played the game or just don't want to drag out the old PS3 (or in some cases purchase a PS3) to play their old copy of the game. These people are going to buy and play the game, and they are not in the vocal minority complaining online because they're too busy enjoying the game. There are also people that are either Nintendo nuts that have never had a chance to play, or just want the game in portable format that are going to snatch up the Switch version in droves (I bought it day one for my Switch because I don't get a whole lot of chances to sit down in front of a TV to game, and I also bought the PS4 version because my son wants to play the game.) The second major reason that the 'wallet vote' thing is crap is because Rockstar is huge. They won't take a major hit on this one. This is doubly true when you factor in all of the people I've previously mentioned that are buying the game, alongside the fact that GTA VI will likely be out within two years and will recoup any potential losses that may (or most likely may not) occur with this port. Your collective $50 a piece is not going to hurt a multi-billion dollar company. Anyhow, I know I spoke little on the game itself. It really is a great port. I haven't had any issues, and it's wonderful to finally get to play this again without having to throw down $300-$500 for an Xbox. Expand

    It was Rockstar previously, now it's Rocks*it. And Ubisoft looks like a cool company in comparison.
