Just hearing about this has me excited! updated mechanics and gameplay is some of the biggest factors, the question is will they add new material with the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2? it would be nice if these remasters included new content that wasn't added in the original since so much has changed since the original release/game.

Who is excited for a remaster of one of the most iconic video games of all time?

After seeing the GTA "Definitive" Edition, not really.

I was waiting for PC release back then, also i lost all my trust for rockstar when GTA 4 came and they said some bullshit like you need a PC from the future to run it, i have a pc now that it would considered to be the future back then and runs like shit

I just seen the Definitive edition.

Brah, don't make me laugh, lol.
Do you even know why RDR 1 never made it out of the PS3 and Xbox 360?
It's because of the game's very code, it's this sort of Frankenstein's monter based of the GTA IV version of the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) and Euphoria physics engine with plenty of stuff from Max Payne 3 and even a few things that ended up in GTA V, like animals. That game's code was so messed up that they say it's a miracle that they even ran on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Honestly the only ways we could see RDR 1 on modern consoles and PC outside of emulation and backwards compatability is if they re-did the whole game from scratch on a more stable version of the engine or if they take the easiest route which is to just take all the models, voice lines and scripts from RDR 1 and add them as a singleplayer expansion for RDR 2, and even that sounds too far fetched considering modern R*

After the GTA Definitive Edition, I'd hate to see what a remastered RDR would look like.

I thought some would be happy for a remaster, RDR is one of my all time favorite video games.

tbh I would like to see a port or remaster of the original red dead to like pc or other consoles. I remember being pretty fun when I played it back in my xbox 360 days.

I think some people are just simply tired of remasters and remakes, i know i am. I'd be happy if they would just release it so that it actually works on machines we have today. No updated graphics, no deleted or censored content, just the way it used to look and play but it's usually never the case, no. People gotta have the newest and most realistic graphics and "offensive" content must be removed.

This constant hype around these games we get constantly has also gotten pretty damn tired. Would think that people already learned the lesson with Fallout 76, Evolve, GTA Trilogy edition, Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky and a lot of others and would stop pre-ordering them but no.

"Oh i'm never pre-ordering anything after this game."
next "epic" looking game trailer or remaster/remake comes out
"Oh my god i have to preorder this right fucking now, looks so good, literally best looking game ever"
game finally releases and it's a disaster

Repeat.

Unless Rockstar bothers to put in actual effort and not shove this off to a third-party that doesn't have enough experience or good titles to show for it, yeah there is not much reason to get excited for it.

Im ready for cowboys with 2 foot long trigger fingers!

Rockstar already dropped the ball with their “remaster” of the PS2 trilogy excluding vice city stories. If they somehow attempt to make a “remaster” of Red Dead Redepmtion, the game is actually gonna need to be a remaster instead of a shitty port of an already shitty phone port.

And now that you mention it, They are probably going to use Grove Street Games (the idiots behind the disastrous mobile port of San Andreas and the Not so Definitive Editions however, since RDR 1 never escaped the 360 and PS3 they will be forced to do the game over, just coping and pasting the original code from the 360/PS3 releases is just not possible as that code (as I already mentioned) is unusable….
The again, it's GSG we are talking about here, they'll probably find a way to port the code and everything from the seventh gen versions of the game but not change anything or make some things even worse leading to the game running and looking like shit, not to mention more unstable than a bridge that works with a single cable.
