Red Dead Redemption Remaster: The Biggest Concern Shaking Up Gamers
Gamers express their major apprehension surrounding a potential Red Dead Redemption remaster, discussing the significant issue that could arise if the beloved original game receives a modern update
Online gamers have expressed concerns about a potential Red Dead Redemption remaster. Recently, there has been more evidence surfacing regarding the remaster, which has generated excitement among fans. However, some gamers remain cautious about the release. The original Red Dead Redemption, released in 2010, introduced the iconic gunslinger John Marston and garnered a dedicated following. Rockstar Games later introduced another beloved protagonist in Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. Despite the success of both games, it is undeniable that the original has aged, leading to a strong demand from the gaming community for a remaster.
Redditor Plus-Inspection-688 shared why some Red Dead Redemption fans would approach a potential remaster with caution, citing the disappointment of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. This remaster of Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas was widely criticized upon release, with some even comparing its launch to the highly problematic Cyberpunk 2077. A Reddit screenshot highlighted the terrifying differences in character design between Denise Robertson in GTA: San Andreas and its remastered version. Given these concerns, it's understandable that fans of Red Dead Redemption might be hesitant about the existence of a remastered GTA trilogy.
However, it's important to note one significant difference. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition was developed by Grove Street Games, whereas any potential Red Dead Redemption remake would likely be handled by Rockstar itself. If Rockstar were to announce and develop a remake, there would be reason for alarm. However, until then, it should be assumed that Rockstar is in control of the situation.
While some gamers would appreciate Rockstar revisiting its earlier titles for the next game, others believe that the studio should prioritize Red Dead Redemption 3. Despite the absence of GTA 6, the community continues to speculate on the possibility of a sequel, with some expressing concerns about featuring a new gang. However, it is expected that the game is still in early development, and any decisions regarding its storyline are yet to be finalized.
Currently, Red Dead Redemption can be played on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
