RDO Speculation & General Chat (Part II)

The GTA trilogy remaster was incompetent and awful so if that's representative of the effort they planned on putting into a RDR1 remaster, canceling it is probably for the best

Maybe we'll get lucky, and a company that gives a damn about RDO will buy it from R* and Take 2. 

What's sad is that R* doesn't want to do anything else with RDO but they wouldn't sell it to someone that would.

This is what I was thinking when I saw how badly the remasters looked. I wasn't aware that they had scrapped the idea to release the RDR1 remaster, but I think it is a good thing.

Fun Facts with Suzu.



In that red square gracefully provided via MS Paint of all things.....is a...no Sh*t, random free roam bounty encounter that can happen.

Quite literally have no clue why there is, in fact this island and one even closer to the center of Flat Iron Lake can even have f*cking collectible items for christ's sake. I only "Borrowed" the row boat I used to get over there (and get the two targets back to shore as I got lucky and it didn't despawn) to see if there was any goose or loon eggs on the island.

Dead game for a long time.... but maybe they will start to make content for RDO when RDR2 E&E arrives?

No, you should buy a 9th generation console: Ninth generation of video game consoles - Wikipedia

to get prepared for RDO E&E...

Rockstar's plan of remastering older titles started with the Trilogy based on the release order. And they were planning to do the same with the successive titles, but the decision to green-light depends on the initial reception of the remasters.

 

But this is precisely what confuse me. According to Rockstar, the trilogy sold better than expected:

 

https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/gta-trilogy-definitive-edition-10-million-sales/#:~:text=Revealed in Take-Two's recent,expected in terms of sales.

 

Quote

Revealed in Take-Two's recent earnings, the parent company of Rockstar Games said that GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition did much better than it expected in terms of sales.

 

So, if they base their decision on MONEY, then they should do the GTA IV/RDR remaster/remake.

 

And if they make a better job, they probably sell many more.

[Spider-Vice]

Although Take-Two and R* money suits will base their decisions on money, PR (and dev motivation related) choices have to be made too, and if they prefer to not touch those games until the flames about the TDE die down, and instead focus on GTA VI... I'm honestly not complaining. I would love to see RDR1 remastered and on PC but oh well.

 

Also, looks like there might be another community outfit today in RDO. Noticed 3x cash on Featured Series as well.

If I remember correctly there was a daily update in the QA Beta but now its been 4 days..Idk does it mean something?

The problem is, Rockstar would have to handle those remasters in-house, as I don't think they would've let any third party studio handle a RAGE project even before the Trilogy DE mess, let alone after.

 

Early RAGE titles like GTAIV or RDR1 could also have significantly more coding and core engine issues which could lead to almost remake level workload in certain cases. After all, RDR1 is famous for its alleged spaghetti code. These games are fairly large and definitely complex even for 2022, and since they are all in on GTAVI now, they simply can not afford to allocate sufficient amount of resources to these other projects.

the thing with RDR1.
that technically wouldn´t be a problem.
they have RDR2.
and RDR2s version of RAGE already supports most if not all features in more detail.
maybe some select stuff would need to be added, but most stuff is already coded.
then most of the RDR1 map is present, etc.

technically they would just need to finish Mexico, port the cutscenes from RDR1 to RDR2s skeleton system.
create the missing characters, audio, etc.

they don´t have to touch the old RDR1 codebase.

they can technically just make it as "DLC" in RDR2.
i mean...add cutscenes, audio, scripts, characters, map...

all those R* already did with every DLC.

I think all of it boils down to simply not wanting to allocate resources to those remasters when they're going full steam ahead on VI.

 

And speaking of cutscenes, how much actual work would be necessary to upgrade RDR1's cutscenes to RDR2's standards? Is it as simple as porting them to RDR2's skeleton system (RDR1's cutscenes still look good in motion anyway) or will they need new mocap work here and there?

it depends.
RDR2 has much more bones and definitely more facial bones as well.
but it shouldn´t be too difficult.

i mean...there are even leftover V animations in RDR2 and they look fine.

so i think body animations would work mostly fine.
maybe adjust shoulders and such since i think RDR1 didn´t have seperate shoulder bones.

and facial maybe need a bit modified.
but other than that...it should work fine.

just speculating though.

just saying what makes sense

[IceHeartache]

Happy Anniversary without no new updated!!!!!! 

[Tez2]

Another month long event.

[ZombieBatman]

Well cowpokes, it's been an experience, we've had some bad times and....well anyway I s'pose I'll let Cripps randomly pack up my camp one last time.

[Tez2]

Don't miss out the E&E edition of this meme on July 19th.
