Red Dead Redemption deserves a remaster.

[MostWantedMVP 9,319]

I'm not talking about the xbox backwards compatibility, I'm talking about a fully fledged remaster and re-release of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare.

 

This game deserves more love as it gets older and it would be an excellent idea to bring it to modern systems. Rockstar should do what 2K is doing with Mafia. Red Dead Redemption is such a beloved game and has a hugely devoted fanbase, I see this as a no-brainer.

I think it would be a huge success if it gets a remaster (or remake which I believe is more likely). It's just one of those things that makes sense like the game is not on pc and the only way to play it on ps4 is though ps now (and I hear that it's not good quality). I really hope it happens eventually🤞🙂. (also hope the same for undead nightmare)

I have the feeling that it will have a remake for all platforms, especially because there is no pc version. Releasing RDR2 without its sequel is kinda weird. Also, T2 was very aggressive with that RDR1 port and in the files is stated repeatedly that such mods affects a possible pc release.

Plus, it's a shame to let a game like this forever dead on a dead platform.

Rdr2 didnt sell as well as GTA V. I'd put money on not seeing another game in the franchise.

It still sold incredibly well even if not as well as GTA V , so i could see them making a new one tbh

[MostWantedMVP 9,319]

What a silly post. Red Dead Redemption 2 sold $725 million in it's opening weekend. It sold very well.

They never would've expected it to, nothing they make is going to have the mass appeal that GTA has. A western period piece was always going to be a bit more niche. They knew it going in, it's still an incredibly successful and profitable game and well worth their while. They can do both and have both GTA and Red Dead bucks rolling in.

I felt early on after the release of RDR  that R* wasnt too confident on if it was gonna sell consistently. I mean a western game?  It was really a toss up at first, but I still remember joining my first free roam at mcfarlanes ranch riding that donkey.

So there are rumours on 4chan that remake on RDR2 engine is in development. I hope this turns out true.

RDR2 sold more copies than The Witcher 3 and Skyrim. If this is not selling well I don't know what is.

[TheOriginalGunslinger 6,841]

@MostWantedMVP Definitely agree

Let's hope those rumors are true about the RDR remake. 🤠

[Alex816 25]

so hyped if this is true

[Gummy 3,495]

Imagine if it's a remake in RDR2, and after finishing RDR2's story, you play in Beecher's Hope for a bit before you get a knock on your door by the bureau, starting the RDR1 story and creating a campaign 200 hours long

[Mister Pink 11,219]

Yeah, so I read the rumours from a supposed leaker that says RDR1 is being remastered for PS5 and XSX due to release in Q1/Q2 in 2021. RDR still looks beautiful today. I think it would be great if they remaster it, give it a little facelift if they can. I would be superb to have both games running for next gen. 

 

I enjoy remasters as they basically are curating the art, and making it work on modern technology. RDR is a pivotal game in gaming history as is RDR2. I would like to see RDR2 remastered in the future so in 10 or 15 years time I can experience it again. 

 

Overral, I prefer new games. New games will come. But it's exciting to think I can play RDR2 and then RDR1 on a XSX, probably at 4K, 60fps. If we are lucky (probably will never happen), we get RDR3 at the end of the console cycle in 7 years time. Would be nice to have the Rockstar triology of Red Dead games during one generation. 

 

Edit: Having said that. I'm going to play it on Series X, so it will get a face-lift all ready.

So according to the article, there's six Rockstar games pending on the PS5 and Xbox Series X? That's a real finger-crosser of hope heh. But who knows? Thanks for the article sharing though

I think a good remake should not be of Red Dead Redemption because it is still fairly new for the HD universe when you really think about it. A better approach would to remake one of the classics. Possibly Red Dead Revolver 

[UncleTacitus 135]

Oh, no doubt it does. RDR 1 with HD graphics and a few new conversations which would work Arthur and other unmentioned characters from the sequel into the game's lore would be a-mazing! I'd pay full price for that without hesitation.

[Bakamomo 163]

A remake should include outfit customization and a big portion of the online clothes.

[Lock n' Stock 2,820]

I wouldn't want a remaster that is just the same game with better textures and lighting. I'd much prefer a straight-up remake using the updated mechanics of RDR2.
