Colin Moriarty says he has seen proof of its authenticity and thinks it could be announced in August; several clues in recent days point to its existence.

    God. Can you imagine if it’s like the San Andreas remaster? People will riot

      I’m still amazed that they abandoned the remasters of their flagship series and just left them broken. I think I’ll hold off on any Rockstar remasters for the foreseeable future, hopefully it’s not a bad sign for GTA6.

    We are truly living in the era of remasters and remakes. More an observation than judgement. There are many games I never played that this will allow me to play for the first time.

      I think for RDR1 we should take into account that a remake/remaster means the game being available on more platforms than just PS3/360, which is always a good thing.

      The one area I will concede on remakes/remasters being a good thing is if A) no support for backwards compatibility for current gen platforms and can’t be easily emulated B) the game runs like ass on its original platform.

      Red dead redemption fulfills these criteria at least on PlayStation

        Most of it is, actually. We used to glitch out of bounds in RDO and wander Guarma and Mexico. Mexico is literally the RDR1 models for everything. It even had the ambient noise tracks for wild animals. It’ll take a good amount of work if they intend to get it to rdr2 quality, but it’s there nonetheless.

        Can any of us really say for sure if Mexico is real?

        (Thanks. I stand corrected… I never made it that far in the map during the post-game.)

            I mean “Baja California”? That is clearly a made up name. Someone heard of California and thought they’d add a musical instrument or something in front! /s

    I’d be real happy if the old Red Dead online and Undead Nightmare were part of the remaster.

    Probably much needed. I started with RDR2 and loved it so much I got a PS3 to play the first game. But it wasn’t nearly as good and felt a lot more dated after being spoiled by RDR2.

      I played RDR first, but still very late - after RDR2 had come and gone as a phenomenon. It’s dated, mostly in how empty the world feels. It’s a little disturbing in a liminal way, and yet nostalgic because I can remember other games from that era having similar limitations.

    This has been rumored for so long. I’ll believe it when it’s for sale a d released.

    Who keeps asking for old games to be remade every couple of years? I’d like new IP and games, not be sold repolished games that were once good but after a decade, lose their replayability.

      Well with RDR1 it picks up where RDR2 ended. I can’t remember most of the story but theres a lot in RDR2 that should make things clearer in RDR1. Plus, 1 wasn’t done for computer and I don’t have an Xbox.

      I’d love to continure the story chronologically with RDR2 graphics and gameplay.

      It’s not like another damn GTAV.

      What I don’t get is why people complain so much about remasters and remakes. Most of the time it’s being done by outside studios.

      I don’t understand it either. Once and done for me. I’ll never play it again after finishing it.

    If it’s really true, I wonder if PC is in the cards. I’ve always heard stories about how hard it would be to port to PC or something, not sure if it was all bull or not, but it’s high time for a port.

    I had such a heartfelt connection with John Marston, I sat the character to rest in his home with his family as an act of thanks and goodbye. Now, if this remaster rolls around, I guess it’s time for me and John to get together once more.
