Does anyone think Rockstar will release a RDR1 remaster as single player RDR2 DLC?

[TheOriginalGunslinger 6,687]

The new areas on the Red Dead Redemption II map wouldn’t make sense for a remastered Red Dead Redemption... John could only stay in West Elizabeth, New Austin and Mexico during his story. Grown up Jack however could probably go there but a remaster really isn’t necessary imo.

I was reading another thread and there are some plot holes from the two games. Things that were said to have happened in Redemption 1 that didn’t in Redemption 2. So now I feel it’s even less likely that a dlc remake will happen.

we're not getting singleplayer add ons I can pretty much feel it in the old bones. We'll get some clothing and guns added to singleplayer I imagine, like GTAV.

@lol232 funny you say that, about three months ago when the RDR2 hype was up there on the scale, I went out and bought an old PS3 console and RDR because I will not entertain that psNOW bullsh*t. got it all for £40 and got £20 back off of it when I resold the console this week. so all in all I spent £20, not too much more than a months subscription for psnow. 

 

The Xbox 1 X enhanced version of RDR1, plus all the DLC, and Undead Nightmare was only $10 approximately a month ago ($30 now).

Not likely, they already did the Xbox/PS versions to port them.  Been several good reasons about the techincal stuff then add in some of the voice actors are gone-Landon Ricketts VA passed away for one.

No, I don't expect it to happen, not even slightly.

They could get new voice actors -- They have new voice actors playing MAIN characters in RDR2, that were also in RDR1, when the original VA isn't even dead. That isn't a reason they wouldn't remaster RDR1..

People wants a RDR1 remaster, right?

And the entire RDR1 map except for mexico at the moment has already been fully remastered and put into RDR2 and is currently playable.

So rockstar put in the effort to remake the original map but surprisingly it's empty.

 

It just seems like now's the perfect time to remaster RDR1 and use RDR2's assets to do it. How awesome would that be? You complete RDR2 to then move onto RDR1. 2 games become 1 creating probably the largest game Rockstar has ever made.

The best part is that the RDR1 remaster could also become a stand alone game just like Undead Nightmare. If you bought the undead nightmare disk you wouldn't need the RDR copy to play it. So there is also an incentive for rockstar to release it as both a stand alone game and DLC.

Yes please, I would love that. But I have PS4 and PC, so I would need to have it on one of these.  Would pay a full price, since I didnt play the first one.

If Rockstar doesn't do it I sure as hell hope some modding team does.

And Rockstar will harass them and their family as well, as any good company does.

[JC_HUMBLE 874]

That's the dream...

[Gwozdek 100]

Well, I would not be sure that will never happen. Why would they keep whole Mexico map in the game? For Online? I doubt. Rumours were, LC was going to GTAO and that didin't happen as well.

I doubt it. The motion capture they did for RDR1 would probably look outdated and awkward if they tried to port it into the new game.
The cutscenes would probably need to be shot again for it to work and that's a lot of effort for a remaster.

 

This shouldn't be a barrier. The animation that the models skeletons work with have always been good. You put new textures over them and they are fully updated. Which we already have. In practice there is some adjustment needed but it shouldn't be huge.

The big barrier is adding in Mexico. Yes it's there in the game but all low res for a view from the distance. Those who have glitched in you can see that the forts etc are not complete.

This won't happen. Just like they shut down Liberty City for IV mod that the Open IV team were working on.

 

In my view they ought to do this. It's low effort and high income as far as I can see. Unfortunately the guys at the top want new IP. Maybe they're right, but my own view is they are missing an opportunity.

 

But the rocky launch of RDR2 PC doesn't help things.

If it was going to happen my thought was it would have released with the PC version.  I am more doubtful about it happening now.  Would def buy it if it does.

Personally, I’d like new IP too.

 

A lot of modern media is rebooted old IP (in movies for instance the situation is terrible, we have reboots/refreshes of Terminator, Star Wars, Predator, Alien, Rambo ...) and it gets so dull.

 

Given the choice between a new IP from R* or an upgraded RDR, I would prefer a new IP please, every time. Try something new.

The thing is it doesn’t have to be either or. They can do both. It’s significantly less work to remaster an old game than develop a whole new open world.
