    Even with a 60FPS mode silently pushed out, this is not worth the asking price.

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 09:50

      this is the cheapest I have seen so far everywhere else is 69 or more. I agree though this should be a 30 dollar game. But I am a fan so i will pay 59 :D

        Oh yeah, I'm not saying that this isn't a deal or anything, just that the game is not worth anywhere near $59

      Bought this for $10 second hand, including DLC, 4K 30 fps on XB1X back compat. Why would anyone pay full price for 60 fps, no other changes?

      Now if they ported it to the RDR2 engine @60 fps they'd sell a billion units.

        Why would anyone pay full price for 60 fps, no other changes?

        If they want to play they game but don’t own an Xbox.

        I believe the price is too high, but the release is the only option for PS or Switch consoles, other than waiting for further sales.

  • Zex94 on 13/10/2023 - 09:52

    Absolutely laughable that Rockstar expects people to pay full price for a game they basically bumped to resolution of.

      maybe but people will do it!

      • Vool on 16/10/2023 - 16:02

        A mate of mine bought 2 copies (PS4 & Switch). He is an idiot.

  • Hybroid on 13/10/2023 - 09:53

    There’s no PS5 version. It’s PS4 only and plays on PS5 via backwards compatibility.

    This means does not utilise PS5 features at all (i.e. no DualSense haptics & adaptive triggers, 3D audio, SSD fast loading, trophy cards etc.)

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 09:53

      PS5 version is digital only. and its an upgrade you get with the PS4 version. the disk is really a ps4/ps5 game.

      • Hybroid on 13/10/2023 - 09:55
        +3

        No. There’s no PS5 version. There’s a patch to unlock 60FPS on PS5. It it’s still a PS4 version played via backwards compatibility.

        • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 09:57
          -6

          its better than its ever been though ps3 verison has only ever run it at 30fps 60fps is a massive upgrade for this game.

          • DingoBilly on 13/10/2023 - 13:03

            @kungfuman: What are you smoking?

            This should be a $20 digital game - the upgrades are not meaningful in any way. It's just a shameless cash grab.

            • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 13:20

              @DingoBilly: it takes alot of time and effort ot convert games from other consoles like xbox 360 and PS3 or though i agree that on a ps3 or xbox it would be worth about 5 bucks put it in on a new system like a ps5 or a switch requires far more tweaking and developement expecially on a switch, just look at the Witcher 3 was 80 bucks on switch, the pc version was worth about 10. The cost it takes to port these games isn't cheap.

        • kendo on 13/10/2023 - 10:50

          I think the PS5 physical disc will be out in next few month. That's how RockStar does its business.

          • netsurfer on 13/10/2023 - 11:36
            +2

            @kendo: Unlikely, releasing a proper PS5 version in a few months will likely anger PS5 owners (unless free upgrade is offered). RockStar doesn't want to do too much for this. It feels like RockStar wants to release the Switch version, but to keep Sony and PS4/PS5 fans happy, RockStar re-compiled and patched the graphics engine a bit for PS4 and releases it.

  • PoxyRadical on 13/10/2023 - 09:54

    Still too expensive, need under 20.

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 09:54

      pretty sure you can get the ps3 version used for 5 bucks :D

      • PoxyRadical on 13/10/2023 - 10:10

        I bought the 360 version, it was 5 bucks.

        • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 13:29

          the big issue I hated though on the ps3 version was because it loads off the disc is was slow as hell loading

          • PoxyRadical on 13/10/2023 - 14:16

            @kungfuman: Man it's hard to go back to the ps3, especially when you wan to take a break on a game that doesn't save easily. Just having to wait for the game to load every time.

            • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 14:28

              @PoxyRadical: yeah I know tell me about it you forget how slow it was to load stuff on discs because it doesnt' install the entire game on the hd

  • Gh0StFaC3 on 13/10/2023 - 09:57

    Important to note - this is not a remaster in any way, it's the exact same game released 13 years ago.
    Might be worthwhile for Switch owners at half this price, but it's just a pure & cynical money-grab from Rockstar in terms of consoles.

    Absolutely not worth the price.

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 09:58

      its more like a re release of the game so you can play it finally on the ps4/ps5. they seems to be trying to bring alot of ps3 games over to the ps4 even after all this time.

    • saitaris on 13/10/2023 - 11:34
      +2

      Not strictly speaking true to say it's the exact same game.

      It runs at 4K/60fps now on PS5. That is a lot better than what it ran at on PS3/360.

      No, it isn't a "remaster" but it also isn't the exact same game.

  • Hypermajoris on 13/10/2023 - 10:03

    These low effort releases are only there to help increase developer's cashflow until they can think of a new idea to milk your wallet, nothing more

  • bront on 13/10/2023 - 10:06

    Everyone complaining about the price is forgetting one thing: there's also no multiplayer this time!

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 10:08

      i don't even remember if the original on ps3 ever had multiplayer this is the original version of red dead .

      • playaz91 on 13/10/2023 - 10:13

        It did and it was excellent, this is just a cash grab.

        Don't fuel this stupidity by buying.

          Not only did it have it - it's still active!

          • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 10:34

            @bront: i am going to have to fire up my ps3 and check it out lol it might come with an add on or a future update like RDR 2 did.

  • Odin on 13/10/2023 - 10:12

    FYI, this version of Nintendo switch should be complete on cart, no download required.

    Probably has a patch but it should be all playable offline.

    Not 100% confirmed but based off a Mexican box

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 10:44

      yeah I am thinking about the switch verison having red dead on the go would be a first :D

  • 367 on 13/10/2023 - 10:14

    This is cynical ripoff at $60. I'm still going to buy this garbage though, because I've never played it and I don't want to get another console.

    So, thanks for posting this deal.

    • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 10:29

      lol yeah I agree not a good price they are really counting on the fans to buy this, or people that just don't know what this game is. I looked up my PS3 progress last I played was back in 2014 lol about 49% progress so will enjoy playing this again :D

    Doomed to go on PS+ soon

  • netsurfer on 13/10/2023 - 10:41

    I still have the XBox 360 version and have a Series X. I think it has a 60fps patch already. Is the PS4 / PS5 version a lot better?

    • Smigit on 13/10/2023 - 10:57

      There’s no 60 fps option for Xbox owners and possibly never will be. The backwards compatibility I believe added a resolution bump, but it’s 30fps only. Given MS has stopped working on the OG and 360 backwards compatibility conversions for titles, we may not see any patch to bring 60fps to this one.

      • netsurfer on 13/10/2023 - 11:05

        It's a shame, coz. it is $64 TRY ($3.65 AUD) on XBox Turkey store:

        https://www.xbox.com/tr-TR/games/store/red-dead-redemption/B…

        Digital version, doesn't need to insert disc. I still have the disc version as well, but bought the digital version (< $4 for not needing to insert disc) before the PS4 version is available. Dunno why in XBox AU store, the price is more than 10X than the Turkey store.

    • saitaris on 13/10/2023 - 11:36

      PS5 is the best way to play. Although both PS5 and XSX run at 4K, the image quality is better on PS5 (refer to the Digital Foundry comparisons for example.) Plus PS5 now runs it at 60fps, so it is the definitive version of the game.

      Xbox version is much cheaper though since it's just the 360 game you're buying.

      • netsurfer on 13/10/2023 - 11:39

        It is mainly just different upscaling and Anti-aliasing techniques used. DF already released a review when PS4 version was released.

        XBox version is only much cheaper if you buy second hand or purchase from XBox Turkey store (~$3.65 AUD). XBox AU store's price ($50 AUD) right now isn't that great.

        • saitaris on 13/10/2023 - 11:46

          Yeah, it is around the AA etc as you point out. But that translates to, IMO, a materially better image - a lot more stable compared to the Xbox BC version in a side by side comparison.

  • kungfuman on 13/10/2023 - 11:43

        Red Dead 2 is unbelievable!

  • Vorsprungdurchtech on 13/10/2023 - 16:27

    Can’t wait for this to be $30.

  • sticky8anana on 13/10/2023 - 23:16

    i only played rdr2 on pc and recently bought a secondhand ps4 to play some exclusive titles, was very tempted to buy this but at $59 im gunna pass… thanks for the post btw

    • kungfuman on 14/10/2023 - 11:07

      i think this will be a flow on effect because red dead redemption 1 is sorta the sequel :D because it takes place after Red Dead Redemption 2 It will make sence after you place red dead 2 and then start playing the store of red dead they reference what happened to dutch and the gang etc.

  • povogamer on 14/10/2023 - 02:03

    thoughts on ps4 version vs. switch version vs. emulating switch version vs. emulating ps3 version?

    • kungfuman on 14/10/2023 - 18:49

      ps3 version is just slow I dont' know its its the fact its loading of a bluray disk or its older tech but the switch and especially the ps4 version feels very fast and smooth. loading is a thing of the past.

  • kungfuman on 14/10/2023 - 11:09

    after playing the ps4 and swtich version i have to say its fast. i am blown away how good it runs on a switch!! graphics aren't flash but it runs a good frame rate.

  • locknuts on 14/10/2023 - 15:16

    Bought it for $12 on the Xbox store. 4k and 60fps too.

    • kungfuman on 14/10/2023 - 16:31

      It’s already been stated the xbox version is 30 fps 4k so looks like its only the ps5 version that has 4k 60fps

      • locknuts on 14/10/2023 - 18:26

        Wow that sucks. I just assumed. At least it has multiplayer…..if there's anyone playing.

  • TKGX on 14/10/2023 - 21:15

    wait a few months, it'll be $30 or less and worth it then.

    • kungfuman on 14/10/2023 - 21:19

      been playing it on ps5 and switch and its worth it now love it.
