SPOILERS: Dialogue glitch in Red Dead Redemption II fuels rumors of possible Red Dead Redemption Remaster DLC
- Thread starter Cranster
- Start date
Mexico is already partially in the game, it's accessible via glitches.
You don't see the point of having RDR1 running in RDR2's engine with the entirety of RDR2's map also running on the X over simply having RDR1 in 4K?
K.
I don't think there will be a next gen "port". Next gen will be BC.
You do realise that only a small minority of gamers overall even have an X, right? Even if that wasn't the case, this remake-in-RDR2 plan would have been conceived of LONG before Microsoft patched RDR to work in BC (from what I remember the original devs are not involved with the process).
Much of what they need - engine, gameplay, assets, map, character models, animations, etc. is already in RDR2. Sure, it would be a lot of work, but nowhere close to what building a whole new game - or at least a whole new Rockstar game - would cost. Especially when a lot of the work seems to have been done, like New Austin and Mexico already being built. Not to mention that new content made for the remake DLC could also serve as content for the online mode.
It's not the double dip that's the main incentive, it's the millions of PC players that have bought their games since GTA in 1997 lol
This community severely overstimates how many people buy the same game twice just because a minority of us here do it.
Damn I never knew this
as soon as John died I stopped playing
Man you missed the best damn moments in that game! The moment you kill Ross and walk away and get hit with that late title card was one of the greatest moments of last generation
I insist that the remake is real we just need one more big expansion and we got enough content to leave.
Wasn't this rumored before the RDR2 announcement? I recall there being images released that some assumed were of a remaster, and Rockstar was tampering with their own websites that made some on GAF assume this was coming.
It would make sense that they would do this, seeing as the prior game never had a PC release, and we have reason to believe RDR2 is coming to PC. Sell it as a $20-$30 bonus DLC thing.

A remake of the first game would be great as long as they change up the missions to be more like the second game.
The first game's missions were so damn repetitive.

They didn't had to remake half of the previous map (and significant portion of other half) but they did it.
Exactly.
What people seem to be missing is that the incentive for this is massive amounts of money from the PC crowd and people on console who never played the original.
This would be amazing if true. The mechanics are all in place, and they've already gone to the trouble of re-creating the US portion of the RDR1 map, along with the general landmass of the Mexico section.
Could you imagine if you could seamlessly play through RDR2 into RDR1 without ever changing disks? Surely that's unprecedented at this scale.
The end of the RDR2 epilogue pretty much gets you right up to before RDR1 begins as it is. There wouldn't have to be too much in the way of connective tissue made.
Obviously I know it's a huge technical feat and it's not as easy as sticking things together and drag and dropping the old game in etc, but in this case it seems like they have legitimately done a lot of the work already.
Would be so great to have a Red Dead Redemption Definitive Edition that has the entire story all in one place, and future sequels can be Red Dead Something Else.

Still not coming. Too much of an investment.
You'll only get RDR 2 Multiplayer stuff down the road.
Shit, I'd love a RDR remaster here.
If only for the possibility for a PC version.
PLEASE!
(It's not happening.)
Playing as Jack in a future DLC would be cool though. None of these lines were in RDR.

I really hope it's true and I can see it happening. More than half of the map of the original game is in RDR 2 and they also made parts of Mexico which you can see through a glitch.
I've never played the original and I don't want to play it on PS Now because that service is way too laggy when playing on wi-fi.

They also didn't need to record new lines for adult Jack who doesn't even appear in the game as it stands, yet they did that too. Do you have any other explanation for it that doesn't involve a single player expansion?
I never played as Jack, but the impression I got was that these are newly recorded lines.
The thing is they can also use the content for RDO, putting new missions and exclusive content that can only be accessed in Mexico.
Technically why would it be more difficult to get a PC to emulate the code of the 360 game than it was for the Xbox X? Honest question. Isn't all Xbox back compatibility done in software?
It is weird how much detail Mexico has despite being inaccessible. El Presidio is surprisingly complete.
I find it more likely that at some point Mexico was simply going to be part of the story and ended up getting cut out from it.
It's clear that New Austin is mostly the focus of the Prologue and the Online section (though you have missions ALL across the map there). Given that the current iteration of Mexico is just "wasteland" per say, I doubt much (or anything) will come out of it. Perhaps in the Online portion, perhaps, but nothing more really.

Could be a lot of things, placeholder lines, Adult Jack was maybe in the game at one point (possible flash forward where you play as Adult Jack post RDR1) or more likely Adult Jack in RDRO.
I really doubt Rockstar is going to make a remaster for RDR1, at best if we get any SP DLC, it's going to be something much smaller.

It's probably just a multiplayer thingz or leftover from a story segment that didn't make it into the game. You find unused things in games all the time
Microsoft isn't going to let their emulation software be out on PC. It'd make the Xbox a lot less attractive option if PC was able to emulate too. This is why Xenia is the only Xbox emulator we have on PC as of now.
Given tumbleweed and the other locations in there, they probs wanted to start the story *much* earlier, as early as Arthur meeting his ex for the first time and joining dutch's gang, and include the blackwater robbery. Then the game would be a continuous move from west to east.
