Red Dead Redemption finally getting a proper remaster

Rockstar Games recently surprised fans with the news that Red Dead Redemption will be getting ported to PC, and it’ll include visual enhancements.

While it would have been nice to see a full-on remake usingRed Dead Redemption 2’sengine,a remasteris more than enough for the time being, especially considering it looks so much better than the original.

Don’t be mistaken though, while the newPCversion will feature enhanced visuals they’re more so touch-ups and fully-fledged changes, the image has been cleared up but the textures remain the same.

It is certainly the superior version in terms of visuals, but whether you think that’s worth the full-price is up to you.

The port also includes all DLC content at no additional cost, includingUndead Nightmarewhich is up there as one of thebest DLC expansionswe’ve ever had in a game.

I suppose the real reason you’d wantRed Dead Redemptionon PC though is the mods, asRed Dead Redemption 2modders have completely changed the game with new content, including entirely new maps to explore.

With that in mind it’s only a matter of time before we get entirely new expansions forRed Dead Redemption, potentially exploring out-of-bounds areas we couldn’t get to before.

Again if you think that’s worth getting the game at full-price, that’s up to you, but since there’s no sign of a full-on remake on the way this remaster is likely the best we’re going to get.

TheRed Dead RedemptionPC port will release on 29 October later this month, and will be a big day for fans who’ve waited for this for ages.
