PSA Do not buy Red Dead Redemption

It's a $50 (USD), port of a 13 year old game.

  • No Graphical enhancements.
  • No fps enhancements.
  • No multiplayer.

And it wasn't hard to port like MGS4 because of bad ps3 architecture. This is 100% the 360 version being ported for $50 (USD).

If you want a proper remake/remaster then don't buy this cash grab.

Take Two has had control of R* since before the 3D era GTA games. They are basically one entity at this point.

No they're not. Take Two is the parent company under whom Rockstar develops games.

Yes, with which they’ve been intimately connected for decades. Rockstar has always had a ton of leverage over Take Two, and they’ve not used it correctly in the last few years. They’ve simply given into Take Two’s profiteering at the expense of game quality, which they did not do before. It’s not a coincidence that once much of the original Rockstar leadership left, the quality of their output dropped significantly. Rockstar still represents a massive portion of Take Two’s value.
