Red Dead Redemption finally gets new-gen remake mod we’ve been begging for

Rockstar Games is currently dedicated toGrand Theft Auto VIandGrand Theft Auto VIonly, so it’s unlikely we’re going to hear about the future of the Red Dead franchise anytime soon.

Luckily for us, the series boasts an exceptionally talented modding community so even without any official news, we’re hardly starved of content.

It’s with this in mind that I want to draw your attention to ‘Reality Redemption’, an incredible mod that essentially provides the originalRed Dead Redemptionwith a new-gen overhaul.

We did receiveRockstar’s official remaster ofRed Dead Redemptionlast year, but it was hardly the remake many of us were expecting.

‘Reality Redemption’ provides results that are perhaps more in line with those expectations.

It’s essentially a remaster of Rockstar’s remaster that seeks to improve the game’s visual fidelity.

“Red Dead Redemptionis amongst one of the best Western titles ever created, next to its successor and sequel. However due to this game’s age, various gameplay and visual elements feel outdated and not up to today’s gaming standards,” they wrote.

“Reality Redemption aims to improve the visual fidelity of this game with better textures, models, and weather cycles, fixing continuity errors, as well as improving its gameplay elements for a more fluid and realistic experience.”

The current iteration of the mod improves general performance, reflection quality, the draw distance of vegetation, debris variation and count, and textures, whilst adding additional random spawn events, fixing weather events, and making the camera more in line withRed Dead Redemption 2’s.

The creators are far from being finished with the project.

They plan to further improve secondary character textures, building textures, vegetation and tree textures, as well as altering shadow cycles and cloud shadows.

If this sounds of interest to you, you can download the mod for free, but you do need to be playingRed Dead Redemptionon PC - although I should hope that was obvious.

It’s well worth checking out.
