Recent teases from Rockstar Games have reignited rumors of a possible Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster. Fans are speculating whether the original Red Dead Redemption will be remastered or incorporated into the sequel.
Glitch Sparks Rumors
In a recent thread, users discuss a glitch that allowed them to access the Mexico area in Red Dead Redemption 2. This glitch has fueled speculation about a remaster. Some players express a preference for the first Red Dead Redemption, citing time constraints and a desire for quick gratification.
However, others criticize the sequel for its slow gameplay and limited variety of weapons. Concerns are raised about a potential cash grab, similar to the GTA definitive edition. Users question whether the first Red Dead Redemption will be downgraded, as seen in the GTA definitive edition.
One user sarcastically comments, 'If a Red Dead Redemption 2 Remaster is in the works, then I'm sure it'll be just as good as the GTA 5 Definitive Edition. I mean, after all, they're both made by the same team.' Another user replies, 'Yeah, but they're also both developed by a team of people with no passion or care for the work they're producing.'
Emulation is suggested as an alternative for PC and PS5 players who are unable to play the game. Users share advice and experiences regarding emulating Red Dead Redemption on PC.
Desired Features
Some users express their hope for more than just a remaster. They suggest new features, improved graphics, and additional areas. Ideas are proposed to include features from Red Dead Redemption 2, such as weapon cleaning and horse ownership, in the remaster.
However, others question the need for a remaster without the inclusion of Undead Nightmare. One user replies, 'I'm sure it's going to be a remaster of Red Dead Redemption without Undead Nightmare. The developers have already said they're working on a new Undead Nightmare.' Another user replies, 'That doesn't mean they're remastering Redemption first. It could mean they're working on a new Undead Nightmare before doing anything else.'
Disappointment is expressed regarding the lack of updates for Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode. Some fans compare the plots of Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, with a preference for the former.
One user comments, 'Red Dead Redemption has had graphical issues in the past, but I'm sure they've been fixed since then.' Another user replies, 'I haven't played it in ages, but I don't remember it looking this good.'
The Series X version of the original Red Dead Redemption is praised for its graphical quality, but criticism is directed at the lack of a 60fps update for PS5 and Series X.
Speculation arises about the remaster's development being halted to focus on another title. Some fans express hope for a PC release this time.
'Personally, I would take a nice 60fps 60mb remaster of Redemption 1 any day over RDR2,' one user comments. 'It's the better game anyway.' Another user agrees, saying, 'Red Dead Redemption 1 is so much better than RDR2. I even prefer the graphics in Redemption 1.'
'They may have to wait until they finish the Red Dead Online 2 servers,' one user replies. 'They can't do a remaster until they do.' Another user disagrees, stating, 'I don't think they'll wait that long. They'll just do a remaster with an online version of the Undead Nightmare.'
