Red Dead Redemption 2 Current-Gen (+GTAIV, but unlikely) - Possible current gen ports?

i don't expect to hear the original vladivostok songs anymore, but being able to play it again would make me very happy

Reposting my opinions regarding this topic, as I already posted it a couple of months back.

 

If we are getting new ports of GTA IV, it'll be only exclusive to PS4, PS5, and Switch platforms. Xbox and PC are not getting anything because the game still runs on those platforms; just like how RDR1 was not released to Xbox consoles.

As I think many of us said when the RDR1 port was rumoured and released, an IV port of some kind is inevitable. The only modern console you can play it on locally is Xbox, which is the same situation RDR1 was in. So they will want to fix that at some point. Max Payne 3 is in a similar situation as well IIRC, but that's a much smaller franchise from R*'s perspective.

 

The only question for me is if it'll just be a straight port or if they'll touch it up in any way. With it being a GTA game I am sorta expecting them to touch it up and sell it as a new release completely, even on PC.

I know I'm a broken record about this by now, but it would be quite pathetic (albeit, on-brand for R*/T2, so I'm lowkey expecting it) if a potential remaster from D11 skips Xbox and PC this time around; RDR1 still has the UN headless zombie glitch and remains stuck at 30FPS on Xbox consoles (with 4K being supported only because of Microsoft's BC program, which has long since halted development). Like @Silver mentioned, the PC version of GTA IV really needs FusionFix, DXVK/Proton, VariousFixes, etc. to function properly on modern hardware. Having a better PC port that has some official implementations of such fixes would be welcome.

 

Not that it's the highest priority of things to address, but I'd love to see the extended songs from the PS3 version make a comeback; it's such an interesting, but often overlooked difference from the 360/PC versions. HDR support a la RDR1 PC would be great, too.

 

EDIT: If this is legit, hopefully we see it this year. It would soften the blow of the GTA VI delay (not that trailer 2 and the batch of screenshots didn't already help there, but the game is still at least one year away. )

EDIT 2: I wonder if Switch 2 will natively be supported; I doubt it will, but I imagine it would make 60FPS (and higher resolutions while docked) viable.

 

 

This rumor alone increased my anticipation after pc release of RDR 1, I want GTA IV new pc port plus playstations and xboxes ports and also switch 1 and 2 ports too with fixes by Double 11.

 

I don't have GTA IV on my pc since I have been waiting for one by Double 11 since last year.

1. With Fusion Fix, Various Fixes, Some Timecyc modification (I hate piss filter and grey shade).
2. With Restored songs just like that from Radio Restorer here although 50/50 sure about that one by Double 11.

3. No More Stutters please.

4. And some missing keys fixes I used to get in 1.2.0.59 when I got in keybinding options, had to downgrade to patch 7 then updated back to new one after setting up.

Is there any chance of RDR 1 ever getting delisted from those xbox stores so they can have the D11 port?

Hopefully yeah. I mean, they did a great job with RDR1 on PC even though it's mostly the same game (bugs and all from what I've read).

 

If they are indeed planning on releasing a new version of the game, I just hope that they'll fix most if not all the things that the FusionFix team has already fixed and improved. If they merely update the game to make it work on new consoles and allow 60fps, it'd be great for console users at the very least, but for PC players we might as well just keep playing the PC version with FusionFix, VariousFixes etc.

And very bad optimization

I have a feeling that Meesmoth is right, RDR 1 never got re released by D11 for any xbox after x360. GTA IV pc port and the xbone port could be just be non existent, too early to say,
also we never know when if and ever RDR 1 and GTA IV gets delisted or the store shuts down in nearby future.
Then we definitely need the xbone and pc ports of games getting remastered by D11.

If this is true, then we are living in the best timeline

Still get goosebumps. I always loved how Rockstar made Niko’s individual trailer not over the top and his lines from the game are delivered with somberness

The most realistic scenario I see is the RDR 1 way:

- Take-Two grabs some cash before VI;

- GTA 4 becomes available on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch;

- The port is on outsource (Double Eleven I hope);

- Textures and resolution upscale;

- No multiplayer;

- At least high FPS bug fixes;

- PC version probably will receive a patch, Xbox version is untouched. I understand that it has backwards compatibility but what's the deal to treat Xbox like that? Nothing prevents to make a port for Xbox One. RDR 1 still has 30 FPS and no multiple languages support because it was untouched.

That coupled with aphex twin is just...perfection.

[HOW'S ANNIE?]

If they slash multiplayer, which lets face it they probably will, I hope to god they finally give us the MP exclusive vehicles from TBOGT in SP. I don't want that beautiful Police Stinger locked away forever.

Would be nice if they added it to the base game and tlad as well but I'm not holding my breath.

Probably not only for the first Switch. It may be natively ported for the Switch 2 too.

And receive a patch for XONE/XSeries with resolution upscale, like RDR 1

                   50 bucks? 

Will they raise the PC price as well?

Someone at R* hinted at the IV port, and by now it should've gone up a year in development. We may end up seeing it drop later this year. And it's one more reason, in addition to existing reasons, the LCPP mod was taken down. If they still follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they'll do an MP3 port after IV. So that is an opportunity to do a bundle or a Definitive Edition. Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.

then we hope that there will be a port for the console and then a PC port from the console port

Doesn't current Xbox version use upscale and run in 60 FPS on One and Series?

I'd like to see Vice City FM make it in, to TBoGT, at least. As far as I can remember, it was only available on the disc versions. And the disc versions didn't have any of the new tracks. So it was either or, which was weird. If I'm not mistaken, that is.

[FulVal85]

I hope that this port is NOT from PC version

If they incorporate the mixes from the DLCs into the base game it will be a slight trade off. Having 2 mixes of the same radio station be completely separate (like the beat 102.7) always bothered me

Wait the disk versions didn’t have the “new tracks”?? Which tracks have I been missing this whole time?

On XBOX ONE it runs at stable 30 FPS. 60 FPS is only on XBOX Series X/S (because GTA IV doesn't have a framelimiter at all). And it still runs in 720p on both gen consoles. . .

Some great tunes on that station.

I hope it get the Oblivion treatment.

[Franklin Clinton GTA 5]

So much hype and excitement (me included) yet the only source was a data miner who said “he heard someone at Rockstar mention it”. Nothing else.

 

I really hope it’s true as I’ve been waiting for GTA 4 port for years, being teased by definitive edition and RDR1 port, but the original source is very weak and it’s being spread like wildfire, as if it’s happening for certainty.

 

regardless, eyes are peeled for the Korean rating board

Would buy. That being said, the fact that Rockstar has allowed a broken version to remain up where the final mission is so bugged that it cannot be completed? Unforgivable. That is some egregious sh*t. How hard would it be to fix that frame rate issue if even just for that final

mission?

[Moncastler]

I think it was pretty much a given that D11 would embark on the GTA IV port next, they've done a fantastic job with RDR1 and it makes sense to have them work on an even more requested game. Even though I still have lots of problems with Trilogy DE (that go well beyond the poor technical quality), it's nice that console players can play most GTAs on modern hardware.

 

I'm curious to see 2 things in particular. Will it be based on the Xbox 360 codebase or on the PC version? While the PC version is newer, it introduced a series of bugs that were not present in the original Xbox 360 release. And, will this new port even make it to PC? I honestly doubt this new port would be able to top or even get close to the current IV CE + Fusion Fix + Radio Downgrade + DXVK/Proton, the only advantage that I can see is the use of a more modern graphics API (likely DX12) that would eliminate the need of DXVK for Windows players.

 

I don't expect a Xbox version, just as they did with RDR1. The PC version should be playable anyway with the next console, which could potentially be one major reason for D11 to work on a new IV PC port. If a new PC version comes out though, please please please Rockstar do what you did with GTA V: GTA IV CE Legacy and GTA IV CE Enhanced Ultra Super Remastered. Just don't nuke the existing version from storefronts, if someone buys the new version grant them access to the old version as well (it'd be nice if you did the same thing for the Trilogy...). Can't wait for the 1.0.4.0 vs 1.0.7.0 vs 1.0.8.0 vs CE vs New Port discussions

Hate it or not, this is very likely what's going to happen. Just the fact that it already works on x86 machines helps.

Platform specific code will take most of the work (Switch, PS, Xbox, Modern PC).

 

Unless they want to bring out the old dusty X360 version code as a base, don't think so though.
If they do happen to use the PC version as a base, I really hope they are aware of the many issues it has. Some of which are just broken features which those many mods fix.

Performance wise it will be fine. Not sure about graphics, can they justify working hard on improving them? Dunno, but maybe they can bring in some Gen8 GTA V rage tech.

 

Oh yeah, expect more of the soundtrack to disappear. I would also expect some DLC stuff to break/act weird, especially the radios.

Wishing for PC and optimization as well .
My nation has banned IV in the past and is currently unable to purchase on Steam due to violent crimes, which they attribute to video games.
These days, I purchase the key IV to activate in the Rockstar Games Launcher, and while it functions properly, the performance issue persists.
