[Joy-Boy]

Red out of the blue

 

[ILikeFeet]

should do quite well on switch, I expect

 

[Dark Cloud]

YES!!! And next is RDR2 for Switch 2!

 

[Bonejack]

Physical October 13th.

 

[Adulfzen]

October getting crazier and crazier

 

[JorgenRaft]

Damn, so not a big next gen remaster.

Still cool, though. One of the best games out there.

 

[Earthbounder]

What the hell! I'm not complaining. And it's out in 10 days. That's wild!

 

[Mirev]

And next year we will probably be playing RDR2 on NS2

 

[Maxrunner]

dlc switch 2 being prepared as we speak.

 

[Foltzie]

Weird to not include this trailer in the last direct. . .

 

[Dcubed]

Xbox and PC get bumped? Why?

 

[Shadow14]

Out of fucking nowhere, and releasing in a week?
I do love some surprises but damn.

 

[Bonejack]

Xbox and PC get bumped? Why?

Xbox has it playable since ... always ... due to BC.

E: This is no remaster or remake, it's just a port with all DLC.

 

[ethanswift]

I wish a 60fps on PS5, otherwise Switch is the goat.

 

[Neves]

Xbox and PC get bumped? Why?

The game is backwards compatible on Xbox running at 4K and everything, so it makes sense, but no idea why they would skip PC.

 

[Dcubed]

Xbox has it playable since ... always ... due to BC.

E: This is no remaster or remake, it's just a port with all DLC.

I know, but that hasn't stopped native ports from happening before, like with Bayonetta & Vanquish.

Also no PC or PS5 versions either. It just seems weird.

Wonder if Nintendo commissioned the port?

Ahh well. Either way, it's nice to see Dan Houser's stranglehold over platform choices and his Nintendo hatred get consigned to history

 

[Hailinel]

Red out of the blue

Which should be suspicious given the state of the GTA trilogy.

 

[ILikeFeet]

wonder if physical will be on a 32GB card

 

[Red Monster]

…PS4 though?

 

[EvilChameleon]

The Switch games library just got that much better.

 

[Lugia667]

thought this was 2 for a second and freaked out lol

 

[HockeyBird]

…PS4 though?

It's just a straight port. To me, it sounds like they wanted to port the game to Switch and then decided to just port it to PS4 as well while they were at it.

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

finally the red dead that's actually fun to play

 

[Adulfzen]

also just realized this will be yet another way to play Red Dead Redemption on PC alongside the ps3 and xbox emulation (with the xbox emulation being the better option for the time being)

 

[Jarmusch]

Weird to not include this trailer in the last direct. . .

rockstar usually do their own announcements.

 

[ITSMILNER]

Day one but jaysus the releases coming in October on Switch are insane!

 

[mazi]

neat, hopefully we get 2 on switch 2

 

[Foltzie]

Which should be suspicious given the state of the GTA trilogy.

Ehh, its on RAGE instead of Renderware. Rockstar was in a position to port the engine, instead of having to port the game like with GTA Trilogy.

 

[Dark Cloud]

It’s only a port I see…………not even remastered…….

 

[LiamRobertson]

Red Dead Redemption is awesome. It doesn't really need remastering. I hope the physical version has everything on it.

 

[Shadow]

Out of nowhere and I'm utterly confused...

 

[mazi]

just realized switch emulation will probably be the best way for pc gamers to play this now, lol

 

[BlackthornOrion]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I'd take a straight port over a remake, since the latter carries the risk that they try to "Red Dead 2"-ify the gameplay. I absolutely loved RDR1, and low-key hated how RDR2 played.

My real complaint is that this still isn't on PC; I'm guessing it's coming eventually since Rockstar loves staggered releases, but I feel like a simple port probably could have just been put on everything day 1.

 

[MarcelRguez]

lmao at the $50 price tag

i never want to hear shit about wii u ports ever again

 

[Maxrunner]

Ahh well. Either way, it's nice to see Dan Houser's stranglehold over platform choices and his Nintendo hatred get consigned to history

who's this?

 

[Cucufate]

HELL YEAH!


... now port Bully too. Please?

 

[Mobius]

who's this?

One of the founder of Rockstar Games, but I don't think I heard anything about him hating Nintendo

wonder if physical will be on a 32GB card

If it's just a port with no extra improvements it should be around 10GB.

 

[Obsonet]

HELL YEAH!


... now port Bully too. Please?

And Max Payne 3

 

[carlosfilho]

Why do they keep announcing games i want to play when i can't afford them T_T

 

[Dekuman]

Switch not being the lone late port is interesting. I really do think Nintendo would prefer their partners do multiplat re-releases like this, even if it's not a remaster, than giving something to Switch only late.

 

[LiamRobertson]

Ahh well. Either way, it's nice to see Dan Houser's stranglehold over platform choices and his Nintendo hatred get consigned to history

What evidence is there to suggest that he hates Nintendo? Seems very much like he looks up to them from what I can see in this interview:

"Q. Are there games you play in which you think, “Oh, I’m going to steal that,” or, “I’m going to do that but do it better, do it right”?

A. Anyone who makes 3-D games who says they’ve not borrowed something from Mario or Zelda is lying — from the games on Nintendo 64, not necessarily the ones from today. But I would argue in that regard we’ve certainly been more sinned against than sinning."

 

[YolkFolk]

Never played RDR1 or 2.

How is the first game?

Might get before playing RDR2 on my Switch 2 next year.

 

[fantomena]

No PC, no PS5/SXS.

 

[Jahranimo]

And there it is.

I guess we'll find out soonish (like from Wario64 on Twitter) if the physical is all on cart or not.

 

[BlackthornOrion]

Never played RDR1 or 2.

How is the first game?

Might get before playing RDR2 on my Switch 2 next year.

RDR1 is like a top 20 all-time game for me. The gameplay is fantastic (really does feel like GTA's sandbox-y antics but just translated to the old west), and imo is sorta in that sweet spot where open worlds felt big without necessarily feeling bloated or "big just for the sake of being big".

 

[Imitatio]

Lmao at that platform choice. Some people on the Internet will be furious, and I'm here for it. >:-)

 

[hologram]

I'm curious to play Undead Nightmare, I never managed to play that.

Otherwise... I dunno. I'm happy for people who never got a chance to play this, it's worth playing, but the sequel surpasses it in just about every way

 

[ITSMILNER]

October on Switch is stacked

Super Mario Wonder
Red Dead Redemption (Physical)
Metal Gear Solid Collection
Batman Arkham Trilogy

That’s a great line up of classic titles

 

[meatbag]

the sequel surpasses it in just about every way

Yeah I’m honestly more excited at the prospect of RDR2 on Switch 2.

That said this is still a great get though.
