Rockstar is causing a scandal with its remaster of Red Dead Redemption and things have just flared up with a new discovery that is not going down at all.
This is the controversial game of the moment, the remaster of Red Dead Redemption is currently the target of extremely acid reviews. The community, fans or not, has been very upset with Rockstar since the game was announced, and even more since the first feedback fell. While everyone was already expecting a sequel, a remake or at least a remaster worthy of the name, disappointment finally struck.
Red Dead Redemption causes a scandal and it does not get better
Disappointed yes, and that’s an understatement. In reality, social networks are flooded with criticism and mockery, even if some players have never had the opportunity to play the game. The reason? A version of Rockstar’s cult game that neither lives up to the title nor lives up to the studio’s reputation. It must be said that a remaster that cannot go beyond 30 fps on the most recent home consoles is frustrating, especially when it is sold at a high price. Since yes, this is also one of the reasons for the anger of the players, the price.
Whether on Nintendo Switch, Xbox or PS4, this release of Red Dead Redemption costs €50. A justified price according to the CEO of Take-Two, but which remains across the throat of the players. Worse still, a new €100 bundle has just appeared online on the PS Store (on sale at €67 for PS Plus subscribers) and the Microsoft Store. Suffice to say that the scandal resumed even more following this discovery. This pack includes the remaster of Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2. For your information, the Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption is still sold at 30€ on the Microsoft Store. Yes, it still stings, we’re not going to lie to each other.
A remaster that does not pass at all
This new discovery, ultimately unsurprising, caused the scandal to explode on social networks. We will spare you the salty comments, but for many, the prices charged are shameful and ridiculous. The remaster of Red Dead redemption is clearly not unanimous. With this new version of osn cult game, Rockstar has badly tripped over the carpet while all the spotlight has been on him since the announcement of GTA 6. If the debacle is currently assumed by the parent company, the studio , meanwhile, has remained silent for the time being.
However, not everything is to be thrown away at first sight since on Nintendo Switch in particular, the game is doing wonderfully and is even very pleasant to play. But is it enough to justify the price and the absence of multiplayer, for example? It would seem that for gamers, that’s a big no.
