Iakona 2,279 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Gotta love Take 2 and Rockstar. Porting RDR1 to Switch and Ps4 and charging 50 quid. 😂 It’s not even a remaster or remake… just a port of the PS3 version. No enhancements. Also the same version that you can buy on Xbox and play via backwards compatibility for no extra charge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there have been a few improvements graphically going by the trailer, especially on lighting. Bullshit to charge £50 and wouldn't trust them after the GTA Trilogy debacle.

It’s a straight up port and nothing else, the lighting in the OG was just pretty good and still holds up to this day under the right conditions. There’s no gfx improvements hence why it’s not being re-released on the Xbox platform - it’s already backward compatible over there. Although the Series X and even the One X brute forces the original source code to run at an upscaled 4k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the side by sides are pre rendered or are taken at exactly the same time of the day under the exact same conditions(weather etc), there will always be a difference in lighting. In a game like RDR it’s virtually impossible to get like for like as it’s dynamic by design. You could capture the same frame 10 times on a PS3 and each one could be noticeably different. Was the same tv and settings used to capture both of the comparisons? Colour settings and enhancement features can significantly change the appearance of things like lighting and sharpness. Not to mention editing and compression. There’s a reason they aren’t releasing it on the xbox. Its Take two… if there was any sort of marketable difference they would have the OG removed from marketplace in a heartbeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somemightsay7 2,559 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Porting a 13 year old game to a 10 year old console and charging £50 for it is pathetic. You could probably buy a PS3 with the original game for that price. Edit: Ps3 Console, 1 controller and 11 games (including RDR1) for £58. Given how good some of their games are they genuinely are one of the laziest games companies around. The GTA Trilogy remaster was literally just put through an AI upscaler and then released.

They're some of the best games I've played. I really didn't like Horizon tbh. The world felt totally disjointed to me ( not in the way its supposed to) and I thought Aloy was an insufferable protagonist at times; but it was up for game of the year and loads of folk seem to like it so might be worth a punt. RES4 remaster was class too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineBlue 24,332 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I've just bought Remnant 2 on for £28 on Vinted. Pretty excited for it. I dont really have a game that's grabbing my interest just now. I'm trying to get into Assassins Creed Valhalla, but AC games always feel like a good idea and then I get bored quickly because they're too big and repetitive. Alan Wake 2 looks like it could be good. I've downloaded the first one to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iakona 2,279 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 God bless Amazon. Bought a ps5 last month but I had to send the controller back due to stick drift. They/Royal Mail have somehow lost it… but rather than replace or refund the controller, they’ve instead just refunded my entire order. 😂 rabc10000 and onlythestrongsurvive 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I’ll sit on it for a bit just incase. Was a little annoyed cause of the PS5 price drop that happened a couple of weeks after I bought it… but this has certainly remedied that!
