Sucks if true

 

[Skifi28]

If they turned out like the demastered trilogy, it's probably for the better.

 

[mansoor1980]

good decision , grovestreetgames would have ruined those 2

 

[Sosokrates]

Well, I would of preferred it over gta online crap

 

[BennyBlanco]

I would pay full price for a RDR1 remake

 

[Umbasaborne]

Man, modern rock star is such a shit fucking company. Gta v really killed an semblance of originality or creativity, or willigness to take risks left in that company huh?

 

[lughnasadh123]

More RDR of any kind is a good thing.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Day 1.
Surely it costs rockstar a fraction of what they earn to make these remasters

 

[Guilty_AI]

*were

 

[MarkyG]

"The poor reception of the Trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision."

Even though it was outsourced to an inept studio, yet still garnered undeserved financial success?

I doubt that's the reason. Also, wasn't the source code to RDR 1 lost or just messed up? Sure I read that somewhere.

 

[March Climber]

This is mainly unfortunate for Playstation owners. For the rest of you, just hold on to the GTA 4 PC version or buy the Xbox enhanced versions of both.

 

[Freeman76]

This is bullshit, guaranteed

 

[Banjo64]

Grove Street Games’ RDR remaster;

 

[Roufianos]

Could we at least get a current-gen RDR2 patch? Lazy ass company.

 

[ACESHIGH]

It sucks... hopefully MS can cut a deal to have RDR available on Xcloud at least. You can play enhanced versions of 360 games that way on PC.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Uhm, GTA Trilogy has sold over 10 million copies and significantly exceeded Take Two expectations. In fact, I'd say the success makes remasters of GTAIV and RDR1 more likely.

 

[nominedomine]

There ain't no PC version of RDR.

 

[baphomet]

Literally the laziest game company out there.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Give it to Bluepoint

 

[Shifty]

Business as usual then. Do shit work > shit work fails at market > shelve and blame on lack of demand.

 

[The_hunter]

This is mainly unfortunate for Playstation owners. For the rest of you, just hold on to the PC versions or buy the Xbox enhanced versions.

are these fps boosted?

 

[Jaybe]

Oh well. At least RDR1 still plays nice with XSX Back compatibility mode and the 4K up-res MS team added.

 

[March Climber]

There ain't no PC version of RDR.

Ah you're right. I just remembered. I'll edit my post.

are these fps boosted?

Yes at 60fps.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

are these fps boosted?

GTAIV is FPS boosted but RDR1 isn't.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

The poor reception of the Trilogy what does this mean? Are we talking about the Definitive GTA Versions released by Crap Street games or what??

As far as I know this definitive Edition was a huge success.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition Surpasses 10 Million Units Sold, GTA 5 at 160 Million

Despite its troubled launch and negative critical reception, GTA: Trilogy - The Definitive Edition sales have

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

There was a hole here once. It's gone now.

 

[SmokedMeat]

The poor reception on the previous remasters is entirely Rockstar’s fault! Give a shit about the franchises that put you on the map instead of not giving a damn.

A Red Dead remake or remaster on current platforms would be big.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Not sure I believe this. The trilogy sold over 10 million copies. It made a ton of money.

 

[DAHGAMING]

I hope not, I want remake/remasters of both of theae classics, they will probably be better games than this soy theft auto shit were about to get in the next couple of years.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

The strange thing is RDR map is mostly in 2, but you can't get to all of it normally. Some of the work for a remaster was done

 

[Knightime_X]

Sad how people confuse REMASTERS with REMAKES.

I'm lost why people didn't like the gta remasters.

 

[01011001]

get a Series X, play GTA4 at 60fps and RDR at native 4K

there's your remasters.
and after that awful Trilogy release you are better off with those versions anyways

 

[Fitzchiv]

Man, modern rock star is such a shit fucking company. Gta v really killed an semblance of originality or creativity, or willigness to take risks left in that company huh?

Not sure remastering old games qualifies as original, creative or risky to be honest.

 

[bitbydeath]

Is the ‘reliable source with clear accuracy’ another way of saying ‘my uncle that works at Nintendo’?

 

[UnsanctionedBuffoonery]

"remasters of GTA IV & RDR1 were on the table a few years ago"
"The poor reception of the Trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision.”

How can the reception of a trilogy that was released late last year, affect something that happened a "few years ago". Dude doesn't even have his timeline in order.

 

[German Hops]

Give it to Bluepoint

 

[Iced Arcade]

Grove street so bad it fucks games it hasn't even touched.

 

[ANDS]

"As per a reliable source with clear accuracy on Rockstar plans - "

What an awkward sentence; sounds like this was run through either a language translator or a "Fake authoritative" text convertor.

. . .also seems pretty bullshit. The DE of GTA was a success for ROCKSTAR and they said as much awhile ago; but why would a recent "negative" response (again, they made money so this was a success) stop them from remastering two of their most popular games that likely don't need the amount of work the original trilogy needed?

 

[kiphalfton]

Basing it off poor reception of DE Trilogy. Oh God. Maybe they should never nake another game based off that then.

 

[TGO]

Yeah that don't make sense

he gets to much credit for simply reading server data (anyone can do) and posting about it...

Probably out of Rockstar Norths hands. 2k will of greenlit it and farmed it out to GSG.

This is the same parent company that farmed out Bioshock remasters to Blind Squirrel and they don't look right either, granted they don't have loads of bugs, same parent company that farmed out the xcom 2 console ports to blind squirrel and they run like arse to this day, even worse with war of the chosen add on installed.

 

[Laptop1991]

If it's true, it just shows how bad Rockstar have become, they still want full price for the GTA def editions even though they still haven't been properly fixed, they are not the company the were before online, and if GTA 6 does eventually come out it will be made for more online anyway, i'm not bothered anymore, it's a shame, a lot of gamers would of enjoyed them remasters.

 

[Jrecard]

I'm glad they have been shelved. A remake of either I would pay for, but half assed remasters outsourced to external studios? Nah we've seen enough of that. Rockstar could work to reinstate some of their lost goodwill by releasing a next gen update for RDR2 without charging a whole new game for it. Plenty of other devs have done it, RDR2 definitely deserves the 60fps treatment.

 

[gametimedecision]

I loved how it’s framed as if players should be blamed for not liking one of the worst “remasters” ever made lol if that was gonna be the care that went into the remasters for rdr1 and gta4 than it’s a positive these don't exist.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Would love if these were released even with just a higher resolution and frame rate.

Rockstar is so shit now. No wonder all the founders bounced.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Do you think it would have been possible to have Red dead Redemption on Nintendo Switch?

I think it's a powerful console for this game.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I'm lost why people didn't like the gta remasters.

They ran like shit, looked ugly, played poorly. Pretty much the worst problems a game can have.

Other than that "How was the play Mrs. Lincoln?"

 

[Putonahappyface]

I would've bought both day one if they were remastered in-house. ☹
