RDR is an HD Remaster PC debut, not a "straight port"

[Celes Raev]

Featuring the complete single-player experiences of both games, including bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. Red Dead Redemption does not feature multiplayer content.

Experience the story of former outlaw John Marston as he tracks down the last remaining members of the notorious Van der Linde Gang in the PC debut of the critically acclaimed predecessor to Red Dead Redemption 2.


Red Dead Redemption and its iconic zombie-horror companion story, Undead Nightmare, can now be enjoyed on PC in stunning detail together in one stellar package. Red Dead Redemption includes new features to bring the game to life on PC, with HDR lighting, native 4K resolution at up to 144hz on supported hardware, monitor support for Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9), adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and more.

if every game that got enhanced on PC is a remaster, i would say 100 % of the PC games coming from consoles are also remaster...

*Sighes and rubs bridge of nose.* Do you (or anyone for that matter) KNOW what constitutes an HD Remaster? An HD Remaster is when a game is taken and made able to play in higher resolutions with higher performance in frames than the original did. Please, please enlighten me mr expert. When the original RDR released 14 years ago on PS3 did it run in 4k native at 144hz with HDR lighting? HMMMMM? I didn't think so.

Anyone else need a lesson on what HD Remasters are and why RDR is one?

every multiplateform games on PC are remasters, thanks for the clarification

Wow. People are so incapable of understanding things, I swear. You obviously know nothing about technology and how it works.

That's not even close to anything I was saying. Typical non-sensical jargon from someone who lost a debate and their ego is the size of the Earth that they can't just admit that they were wrong.

i know nothing, can you explain me now if cyberpunk 2077 and death stranding are remaster, since they run with enhanced graphics settings, better textures, unlocked framerate and higher resolution ?

[Celes Raev]

You're just being a moron. Cyberpunk 2077 and Death Stranding are games that were made in the era to natively run at 4k 144fps. RDR is a 2010 PS3 and Xbox 360 game that had it's graphics re-rendered to run at 4k 144fps with HDR lighting. Again, answer this question straight up without dodging or non-sensical "I'm losing the debate" jargon: If you hooked up a PS3 to a TV in 2010 and played RDR when it released, would it run in 4k 144fps with HDR lighting?

Considering the first PS console to run at 4k was PS4 Pro, that's a pretty obvious answer. Therein lies why RDR is an HD Remaster. This port is programmed to be re-rendered and perform at higher resolutions and performance increases than the original 2010 release. On top of that it even has graphical enhancements from RDRII.

If you don't get that, then at this point I think you're just trolling.

so you are saying that's a game with better graphics setting isn't enought to being a remaster ? so what do precisely make RDR1 a remaster ?

Please see above post. This port running at a HIGHER RESOLUTION AND FRAMERATE THAN THE ORIGINAL 2010 PS3 VERSION is what makes it an HD Remaster. You know it doesn't have to say HD Remaster in the title to be an HD Remaster, right? ;)

Generally speaking, yes, I would agree it's a remaster by the old definition of the word. It is, however, not an "HD Remaster" in terms of modern remaster standards, which tend to do more than simply up the resolution and FPS. Take the upcoming "The Thing Remastered", which while it retains the old and dated art style of the original, has updated textures, character models, and particle effects.
