    A good idea, badly raised with an exorbitant price.

    After the disaster with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, Rockstar Games had the opportunity to shake off those past criticisms with a proper port for Red Dead Redemption (even though it won't be a remaster). A title that doesn’t exceed 30FPS on PlayStation 5 leaves much to be desired, however, those who benefit

    A title that doesn’t exceed 30FPS on PlayStation 5 leaves much to be desired, however, those who benefit most from this port are Nintendo Switch users. We aren’t talking about the forgotten PC users...

    Finally, the high price of the port is unjustified, no matter how you look at it, a proper price would have been $29.99 and not the $49.99 it costs. It is not advisable to pay this amount if the title has already been played before.

    Amazing how such an amazing game can be soured by the greed and laziness of corporations cashing out a franchise.
    You want worse quality and less features than the XBOX GOTY edition? This game is forb you! I'm sure they'll fix the problems soon*

    Zero improvements over the original, all multiplayer content have been completely removed, and the price is the same as it was over a decade ago. I mean, it's not Rockstar's all-time low *cough cough* gta trilogy remaster *cough cough*, but it's still utterly pathetic how greedy and lazy this port is.

    $50 for a 13 years old game.
    And it's not even a remake or a remaster.
    Rockstar is well on its way to becoming the new EA.

    Imagine paying so much for this ancient old masterpiece now on Switch, which is already severely outdated hardware, LOL. Double whammy.

    Game 9/10, Port/Effort 2/10, Price 1/10. Average: 4. Rockstar's devs are basically lazy bastards that want our money for no effort whatsoever. If it was either half the price or indeed remastered, then it would be perfect. This title costs more than RDR2 on PC. Where's the logic?

    Thanks to Strauss Zelnik for such a cal. He's ruining Rockstar's reputation with such a terrible port. Did you expect something from Rockstar, from a company that has not made a port to new consoles for 13 years, from a company that has given up on RDR Online support, from a company that has not yet released a regular update that allows you to play on a new generation in 4K 60?
    Much

    Much was expected. And the $50 port is awful.

    These companies are cashing out consumer trust and loyalty. It's time we stop helping them.

    Low effort cash grab by Strauss Zelnick, but what did we expect really from the company that gave us the GTA Trilogy "remaster"?

    Port sem nenhuma melhoria gráfica ou de conteúdo, exatamente a mesma versão do jogo de 13 anos atrás custando mesmo preço de jogos com BG3. Um insulto

    This remaster is no different from the original game. The very decision to "remaster" an already dead game already seems idiotic and another demonstration that this is not Rockstar, which was the "quality standard of game dev", but impostors who decide to ruin their reputation before the release of GTA 6.

    50$ for a game without ANY improvements and with terrible framerate on top of it.

    The silver lining here is that now the game is finally freed from the cage of old hardware. And that's a great thing.

    With its atmosphere, brilliantly written characters, action-packed missions skillfully set in the open world, and multitude of side activities, Red Dead Redemption can still rival games released years (and console generations) later. I recommend it even to those who don’t much care for the Wild West setting.
  3. If you want to experience Red Dead Redemption, I can recommend the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Although I think its price is high compared to the improvements it offers and a price like $30 would be more affordable, it will not make you regret playing it with its portable gaming experience and problem-free port. If you want to play in front of the TV with better graphics, you can play the game on Xbox with higher resolution and smoother performance, and at a much cheaper price, thanks to backward compatibility.
