$50 for a 13 year old game is pure insanity, no matter how good it is!
It's literally my favorite game of all time, and I still won't be buying this port.
You could get almost 3 months worth of Gamepass for that.
Literally any COD game ever 😂😭
A 13 yr old game which is actually remastered, 60FPS, with better textures *wouldve been* worth $50......
@@CrodleMonfax
Back in 2013, I had bought the GOTY edition of RDR which had the Undead Nightmare included. It cost around $15. To even think that they can charge $50 with this and get away with it is crazy
I bought the Goty for Xbox360 a week before the remaster releases for 15 bucks. Who tf thinks it is okay to charge so much for this?
@@Tom-tg4ibsame.
I still have that version to this day I replayed it last year on my ps3.
Rockstar: inflation prices
Its basically just playstation users being punished bc sony refuses to add any amount of backwards compatability so that they can keep milking their playstation Now and premium services.
Definitely worth putting it in my wishlist and waiting to see it on 50% off
I did that for other Switch ports; it won't go on sale! You will pay $50.00 wether now or in 2026! You get to play RDR while mobile! That alone makes it worth it for me!
@@brendenhassler4613well yeah but that’s switch alone lol it will go down in price in the PlayStation store
$25 is still steep considering it has no visual enhancements or even the multiplayer
Yeah for 20$ I’d buy it
Is there a hard copy?
Or is it digital only
Red dead 1 was just perfect, the feature where you can cheat in poker if you have the elegant suit on is probly one of the coolest features I’ve ever seen in any game ever, and if you get caught cheating it ends in a quick draw dead eye duel outside, so badass
Amazing game, inexcusable price for what you get though.
If this was an actual remaster with better graphics, features and performance then I’d be more inclined to like it but $50 for a pure 2010 game is crazy.
You are technically getting two games in one tho
USD50 is fuck all these days
The worst part is, RDR1 wasn't even this much money when it released. I'm pretty sure in the UK it was like £30 back then. So you're paying twice as much nearly, for a 13 year old game, that actually has less in it than the original 🤦♀️
@@Hellodude-el1spdoesn't matter. Stop making excuses for companies that laugh in your face while taking your money
Brother, games don't decline in value.
I wish we could see an Undead Nightmare 2 for RDR2, that world has some really spooky areas and could really be a awesome DLC
I'm still shocked they never took advantage of the still popular zombie/undead genre.
It was originally planned, because a zombified version of Arthur was found in the game files. I assume they scrapped it to put in into RDO, but since RDO wasn’t the succes they hoped for, they never finished Undead Nightmare II.
I remember hearing a rumor that they were going to do a Cowboys vs Aliens dlc and I always thought that sounded sick
@@kiranaifui think its just a easter egg-in game
Yea going down the well in annesburg
Its an amazing game. I played RDR2 first and spent hrs on it. Now with its release on switch, I got one of my favorite games wherever I go.The only issue I can think of are the shrunken rabbits and hardly visible items on the ground while playing handheld, but playing docked makes up for it.
The ending to RDR is the first video game ending where my jaw dropped because I didn't expect it. I'd love to play through it again on switch, as it's been 12 years since I played it, but $50 is a no go for me. It's inspired me to play 2 again though. Here's hoping there is a price drop around the holidays. At least then 2's story/world building will make 1's playthrough mean so much more.
Did I play this at it's original release? Yes.
Will I be buying this to play again? Absolutely!
Will I be waiting for a good sale because $50 is too much? You bet!
LMAO waiting for a Nintendo port or exclusive to go on sale? Good luck! You will be playing this never! Go look at Breath of the wild price and then maybe you will change your mind. Nintendo games don't go ob sale sir! Are you new to the Switch?
@brendenhassler4613
OH I know Nintendo stuff doesn't go down in price. That's why I'll be playing it on Playstation.
@brendenhassler4613 that's why it's f*ck Nintendo Playstation all day

@@brendenhassler4613I get what you're saying but I got Breath of the Wild for $40 at Target a month or so ago. It does happen.
Some things aren't meant to last forever. Rest in Peace Rockstar
Bro nothing lasts forever
Yeah I get you rock star broke my heart, my achy breaky heart.
You're saying it like they've released a bunch of bad games back to back or something. The last game they released was an instant classic masterpiece. And the next game they release, GTA 6, will also probably be an instant classic. Don't count your chickens and all that, but does anyone actually think Rockstar is gonna drop the ball on GTA 6?
Nintendo has done way dumber shit for way longer and people still suck their dick. I for one am still gonna be excited for new Rockstar games until they actually start making garbage.
I mean we can’t really say this is a thing unless gta 6 flops. That’s when you know every single nail is in the coffin
@@axelalvarado7439 ooooookayyyy...😞😞😞
I played rdr2 a few years ago and fell in love with the game. Completed the story like 3 times. And I will wait until sale for this first game as I want to experience Mexico, the ragdoll effects, music and vibe. Can't wait
Driving the chariots over train tracks
Oh man, if you enjoyed the RDR2 story you are in for a treat with this one. It is still a game from 2010, but the story itself holds up so well.
@@andyt9002 yes that's what's with getting the game for. I need to experience it
It won't go on sale🤦🏾
@@brendenhassler4613it will, genius.
Even without updates RDR holds up like a champ in graphics and gameplay. I received RDR (switch) as a present and it’s a solid port which if you know the game’s sordid development makes it pretty impressive. It’s almost impossible to do a true remaster and difficult to port because the original games code was held together with duck tape and bubblegum so it’s impressive this is as solid as it is on the switch. My only gripe is the controls feel more sluggish than I remember especially when it comes to shooting.
Just saw this on the PS5 store and was shocked by the pricing. My PS3 is sitting right next to my PS5, and RDR is on the shelf... that made $50 look even more insane.
The only difference would be shorter loading times.
Thats sad, 2 console generations later.
They have rhe RDR2/RDO world, environmental assets, charachter models, NPC scripting, etc.
It would be like using the same set and actors to do a different play. Almost nothing new to have to create. Could have used the same audio and nobody would care.
Just lazy.
@binglybingler2598yea Xbox is shit though
Not all people have old xbox konsol
@@prolific1518wrong. Xbox has LFG!
@@casdeanwinchester483 So it shouldn't be $50. This re-release is for people who never played the original and people who want to replay it, but don't have the means to do so. Just another example of R* losing their soul and squeezing their players. GTA Definitive 💩 was an omen of things to come.
13 years later, Rockstar really wants us to fork over $50 for this. I'd be willing to pay this much for RDR if it was remastered or remade exclusively for current gen consoles (XSX & PS5). But instead all we get from Rockstar is a slightly enhanced port of the original game on a 10 year old console for $50...
Isn't it also on ps5?
@@notoriouslysky no just ps4
@@notoriouslysky It's available through backwards compatability on ps5
Take out the exclusive part and im behind it too. Exclusives are a cancer in gaming
Bought this at a thrift store for $5 and just bough a Xbox one x. Going to be playing it at 4K very soon
I completely agree with him, they could've given it a bit of a modern look, but not too modern so it still has that feel of it being an old school type game. Maybe freshen up the graphics a bit so it doesn't look as boxy or pixilated as it looked back then. I remember when I first got it, just like GTA 5 on the 360, it looked so realistic and the best graphics I've seen but as years go by, it starts looking outdated, which isn't bad, some people love that style of gaming and all power to them.
I probably will buy it on sale, but I'm really excited to play RDR1 and Undead Nightmare for the first time! RDR2 is my probably favourite game ever, so I'm keen to see how the story continues!
It's so heartbreaking to see Rockstar turning into EA 😑☹️😟
EA just released one of the best remake/remaster of all times with dead space so they are definitely not turning into EA.
My thoughts exactly...quake 2 remastered came out this week...with all the dlc plus quake 64...for $10...guess where im spending my money this week
@@Sirikiller An exception doesnt prove the rule
turning ? rockstar has been a horrible corporation run by businessmen a long time now
Once that gta 6 reveal happens Rockstars algorithm will increase
I bought an Xbox 360 copy for $2 at a thrift store not that long ago. I know that was an incredibly lucky find, but it definitely makes $50 seem utterly insane.
It's insane that you would complain about the price of a game you already own. You guys don't need to buy it again you know? I don't understand why people are upset.
@@liammullen2144 it personally doesn’t bother or affect me as an Xbox user. I’m just expressing something called empathy for those on other platforms instead of spewing typical console war nonsense.

@@liammullen2144 whoops you caught me, have a nice day Liam, congrats on the victory
@@liammullen2144console wars? No, dude the xbox version is cheaper and has more features and content on xbox, it has been for over half a decade. If the PS4 and switch versions where also $30 and had multiplayer like xbox version then it be totally fine.
But PS and nintendo fans are literally paying more for less with this port.
Love your before you buy vids! Could you please make one for Armored Core as well? Pretty please? Thank you so much!
Edit: Just realized you have done so 12 hours ago! Thank you! It was much needed. Your vids are the most unbiased and reliable game reviews imo. Thank you so much!
The horse mount glitch is in the original game I had on Xbox X this week, during backwards compatibility, when doing a Bonny Mission.
Quite a shame that they didn't give it a little bit of a modern day shine. (HD textures, 60fps etc.) But this game is an absolute classic if you haven't played it. The $50 is quite steep, but I'd be a different person if I never got to play this game. Dramatic I know but back in 2010 it was an amazing game.
it's a shame they didn't do a full remaster on rdr2 engine. They already had the map for it - just some minor adjustments, the models etc, even the audio was already recorded. They could rerecord some more dialogue, maybe add a little bit more content and would make a great remake. But they managed somehow with these good pointers to still make a crap decision.
@@DeczkinNo dude. They have nothing except a part of the map. It would take much more effort than this doing this port. For characters alone, they will have to do new mocap and voice recording.
They couldn't even cap the FPS to 60? What a shit port
@@Deczkindoing it on the RD2 engine would be a remake, not a remaster, which ofc would be amazing but would also take a couple years probably.
Paying for nostalgia
Its shocking how a AAA company cant even release the physical copy the same day
Not that they can't, they just don't want to. Double release equals double the money.

@arshkhanlm3086 your nuts if you think disc are a waste. Digital is a waste when it comes to your wallet.
@@Bran.man24Yep if they really cared the digital version would be cheaper. Whereas here in the UK it is possible to preorder the physical version cheaper than the digital version - no idea how that is reasonable.
don’t gotta apologize for your thumbs i didnt even notice till you said it it’s all good also glad you made this because i wanted to see if it’s even good at all no crazy glitches or anything i wanna get it as long as it’s good
I would feel better getting it if it were $30 or $20 for red dead $10 for undead nightmare. I hope there is a holiday sale this Xmas season making it $29.99 and I'll be getting it for sure. Also they should eventually list it as a greatest hits with both games for $20 hopefully by 2024 .I wish 🤞
I don't know why they priced it at 50 when it's only 25 for the game and all dlc on xbox
Even $30 seems high for a 13 year old game.
I’m getting an Xbox just to play it 😂
It is 35 on switch rn
It’s 39.99 on PlayStation
Love this game, and the soundtrack is freaking amazing. I revisited the game again on my xbox back in June, and I had an amazing time. Wish it would've received more love instead of just porting the game. R* lost their touch
Most of their resources are probably going to making GTA6. Be happy for what you got😋😛
I don't think Rockstar touched this one. I'm pretty sure Take-Two hired a seprate team to port it. But I'm in no way disagreeing with the idea that Rockstar is losing what made those studios so special.
@@kzfiveI guess if Rockstar gave you a sack of shit, would you still say "be happy with what you get?" Also GTA6 is gonna be riddled up the ass with microtransactions, but if getting scammed is your thing I won't stop ya lol.
@@HOLLOWFENiXThink the micro transactions gets brought up way too much with GTA Online. If they’re releasing very substantial updates for it at no cost, of course they gotta have a way of making money, that doesn’t get brought up. That method makes it so the player base isn’t broken up like with GTA 4’s payed dlc.
@@reidmcilwain4658Their track record on main titles is pretty spotless so I don’t get that comment on them losing what made them special. There’s way too much talk on these side releases which they don’t even seem to be the ones planning.
I’m definitely not spending $50 for this but thanks for putting in the effort for us Gameranx crew!
I did! LOL amd I get to play it on long car trips which is worth the price for me. To each their own though.
@@brendenhassler4613 Going from every comment justifying your purchase to people who don't give a fuck is hilarious. You are the defintion of what is wrong with the gaming industry. Choosing to buy it full price especially when the price doesn't justify the game you are getting is exactly how they keep getting away with this shit. Nothing is going to change as long as people like you exist ngl.
Unlocking Mexico for the first time back in the day in this game was EASILY one of the most touching, remembered times i have ever experienced in a video game! lol I will never forget that day riding my horse listening to that song on my way to Mexico!
I did the backwards compatibility on the ps5 had no issues the whole way thru and if you had told me I was playing on the ps3 and it was 2010 again I would've believed it, I think if it drops in price its a solid pickup even if it is the exact same thing over a decade later its just a good game to go thru again.
After an amazing experience with RDR2 on PS4 a couple years ago, I made peace with the fact that couldn't continue the journey into RDR1 since I owned no other platform. So this is really good news even if it's just the OG game. Not paying that price though. I'm quite happy to wait it out and get on with other games.
This game is just so good it’s hard to hate on a classic but to hate the way they’re doing it is another story
I had the exact same standing on horse glitch on Switch in the first mission, and it's the only glitch I've encountered at about 10 hours in.
I got RDR 2 on my PS4. I'm thinking of getting this on Switch for the portability aspect. Thanks for the review.
I bought it on PS3 back in the day (the complete edition with the zombies), for 20€. So the price is a bit baffling, especially since they didn't update it.
I would've wanted them implementing a VR mode, because the atmosphere in itself was already so great, I really want to experience 'in there'.
I still remember how it felt setting your first steps outside the first house and riding into the prairie. That 'void' felt so special, with how our society is so crowded nowadays.
Red Dead Redemption was one of those games I couldn't put down without finishing it. Completely. Got all the herbs, animal hunting and such. Even liked playing the multiplayer, which I generally don't like.
Great game, but not at the price they're asking. Rockstar is losing it with their prices.
couldn't agree more. The price absolutely crazy when I see no something fresh added
Undead nightmare is my number one favorite dlc. Everything about it is what I want in a zombie game. Saving towns, random encounters, mythical creatures, it's amazing

I loved playing undead night mare when it came out was really disappointing to not see rd/2 do the same so much potential wasted
Got this at midnight launch back in the day and absolutely adored this, then adored UN & RDR2. The price pissed me off, really want it for the Switch but the price is putting me off. I’ll pick it up eventually but yeah R* never been the same now since Jim left. Shocking move from them imo. You should deffo playthrough Undead Nightmare, was solid.
I still remember that first scene with bill when I played the game at release, I was like wtf is going on... but after playing the 2, returning to this again, seeing the scene, I was in awe.
It’s so disappointing but I still love this game
yup -at least the game isn't broken
Disappointing, yes
Not "so" disappointing
Me too people hoped for a remake man that would have been so awesome but i knew that would not happen but i hoped at least at a remaster but no not that either but still i love the game

even before rdr2 you would feel like marston really did love them, except dutch. after rdr2 i see why
@@elivaldez4354 yeah, I don't have much context for anything. I'm just now getting into the series. All I know is how the first game ends
Always loved the spaghetti western style this game went for, especially the sounds of the guns. I’m tempted to buy it but no way am I paying $50 for a port. I’ll wait for a sale
I was so excited to play until I saw it was just a port. I really thought it was going to be a remake. I should’ve known better with R* and Take-Two.
Just play it on an emulator. $50 for ths game is bot worth it
Wait for the sale. Dont cave in to Rockstars plan. Have some g*d damn faith! They dont need no more moneh.
@@FromsoftgoatKaj Yeah, gonna have to bring out my old eye patch and peg leg to sail the 7 seas once more. I refuse to pay that ridiculous price.
Rdr was one of those iconic games back in the day i didnt get a chance to try. I was lucky enough to own rdr undead nightmare bc i found a standalone copy. Most recently i platinumed RDR2 and loved the story. But $50 for a port, for a game I could find the xbox 360 version of at my local gamestop for $20 at most, is predatory
bought it for ps4 and loving it, even the old get to blackwater early glitch still works, i am very very happy 💯
Appreciate the review! I've been waiting for it to go on sale. I'd pay full price if the game designers and all got more money, but I'm guessing that's not the case?
Years ago I got all this on the Xbone for $9.89. Still runs great on the Series X. It's wild to me that they want $50 for it now.
Thanks, Great Job as always Jake.
thank you
Great review never stop
Amazing game, and I think it still holds up well. It is really cool to see it playing on a Nintendo Switch. Having said that, I will pick this up... when that price comes down. 😅
The disappointment I felt when it was announced to not be for PC still was immeasurable. I really wanted to finally play all the way through this and was hoping to do so on the ROG Ally
LOL someone would have actually had to do a miniscule amount of work to make a PC port that was decent. PC players aren't gonna put up with a framerate capped at 30 and 1080p.. but then if they put in the work to raise the resolution and unlock the frame rate the people would ask why they couldn't do the same for the PS4/5 version
use xenia
@@jus_ice_4433I feel like if they increase frame rate the game surely gonna break.Because old games werent supposed to be played at too high fps.
Not really, you can use emulation to play the game at 4k 60fps if you want for a while now. Rockstar is just being lazy and greedy here.
Emulate it on Xenia or RPCS3. Not posting any links here but there are plenty of places where you can download a rom, don't give R* your money.
This games ending really got me in the feels. It was like... wow! Holy shit! Then you get that post main game mini story which was a satisfying end.
Amazing soundtrack, graphics that still hold up today... but $50 for a 13 year old game? Nah.
I agree 100%
literally this is $50 for an outdated engine and no multiplayer or pc port like wtf are they smoking
Our homie ALWAYS coming through
Really enjoying this, I only played a tiny bit in 2010 when my pal had a copy. This is a great great game
I bought a PS3 back in 2017 just to play RDR and others exclusive games. Paid like $10 dollars for a physical copy. Totally worth it.
smart move
Same, I still break out the PS3 from time to time
I would still recommend that option instead of paying for this
Just busted out the original modern warfare trilogy. Either this or GTA IV next.
Ah yes, Red Dead Redemption for PS4! I was hoping for this.
.... is what I would have said if this had released nine years ago
I'm not a English speaker native. And I played this game when I was 13 . Didn't understand anything of the story at that time. But after rdr2 that to me is the best game ever so far (let's see gta6) I want so bad to play it again... but I cant ,only play on pc 😢
I will probably pick up a physical copy when they drop in October (I think that's when it is) as I never got to experience it back in 2010!
Love the idea of more players having more opportunity to play a great game. I agree with the price criticism but im assuming most people buying this version will be buying it on sale in a few months. Just sucks they had to ruin the launch with that price. rockstar said it was the same price as the xbox version and I guess thats true at full price but I am almost never buying a backwards compatible game on xbox unless its part of a sale
Ikr people are complaining that they did no work on the port when they did, it's literally more work than they did on defective editon at launch
$50 bucks 😂 I basically paid that when the game first released I'm a fan but $50 ??? It's going to stay where it's at $50 bucks is cool if it was Red Dead redemption 2 but it's not even if you never played this game do not I repeat do not give these people $50 for a game that's over 10 years old. Unless like Jake said your wallet is winning I wouldn't recommend average Joe's to purchase this
@@deiongriffin3223fr, I can't believe this other dude is still trying to defend them. We know on the switch it will stay at $50. And idk what he's talking about the Xbox version being the same price, you could literally get the Xbox game from GameStop for $7.99 and just pop it in your series X and there you go. I hope no one wastes there hard earned money on this scummy company.
@@Hellodude-el1spand we are supposed to applaud them for the bare minimum. How does that boot taste?

One of my favorite games on when I had it on Xbox 360. Given the age and considering its not a remaster, the price is a big ask.
This is a great series.. i really need to put more time into it.. I had the first one since round the time it originally came out.. I was playing earlier today wondering why I neglected it for so long
jeez I remember this like yesterday - very cool
I LOVE Red Dead, more so than the world of GTA, so I plan to get the Switch version, WHEN they drop that price. They're absolutely buggin' asking for $50.
Grand Theft Horse
I’m going to get this eventually when it gets cheaper or goes to Extra. I’m a trophy hunter and I’m very happy there’s no longer any online trophies. Love this game, would love to play it again, wouldn’t pay more than $20 tho
I'm a trophy 🏆 collector to. I already have this game 100% Platinum on the PS3 version. MyPSN
PlatinumChaser
But yea since l already have it 100% Platinum, and they did a BASIC port with the EXACT same trophies minus the online trophies, I will wait for a sale. I WONT support Rock$tars cash grab of $70 here in Australia 🇦🇺
If they did a Remake l would of GLADLY given them the full retail price for it. But because Rock$tar only care about money and didn't want to do any real work or put anything into it and ask FULL price for a 13 year old PS3 game, I won't support that and l will wait until it's second hand for like $20
It is very good thanks I subscribed and liked your video thank you for everything
This video comes up at a great time. I'm a huge fan of Red Dead Redemption II, and have never played the first game. I'm a PC gamer and do not have a console lying around. Playing RDR legally, the only option would be to get a Nintendo Switch again (given I sold the one I had years ago because I didn't use it that much), and buying the game. It's a huge sum of money in order to play RDR (and of course other games on the Switch), but I'm really bothered by the question whether it is worth it.
Glad to see it runs smoothly on the switch.
I don't know if they fixed it but I encountered a pesky glitch on 360 with undead nightmare where after a couple hours in the game zombie heads would turn invisible. It's funny to see a bunch of zombies running round without visible heads but the novelty wore off quickly
already beat it, playing it on the ps5. took me back to the ps3 days. loved it
My first actual playthrough. Never got far ever and never got past the beginning in red dead 2. Very happy my first playthrough is on a handheld.
Played this during the pandemic twice and then part 2 right after. These two games got me through quarantine.
Man that sounds like an awesome time especially going straight to 2 afterwards
Everybody played different games during quarantine and it’s crazy that those games will forever Remind us of that time.
I actually ran into a lot of random travel and quest glitches. But it may be things i do not remember happening. Traveling from the campfires does not work well for me and many quests will have to be started again completely because a character will be stuck.
I only tried the switch version. I will try the ps5 version if it keeps happening
I just got mines on sale. Boy I can’t wait till it’s done downloading. I’ve played both red dead 1 and 2 and the undead add on, but vaguely remember red dead 1 and the downloadable content. So this will be a good way for me to reacquaint myself with them both.
I think red dead coming to the switch is awesome. Rdr is one of the all time greats and having it on the go along with undead nightmare is something I’m looking forward to.
The game released at $60 without and additional content. Undead nightmare is a huge expansion. If the game was priced at $40 would the internet still be up in arms? Any lower than that is absurd to expect from a high profile release. I think 40 dollars would be a more consumer friendly price but I’m not going to lose my shit over an additional $10
W take
I've wished for a next-gen Undead Nightmare for years now and I loved it back in the day. Guess I'll keep it as a fond memory and wait for a price drop.
Anothet good episode of before you buy!
Its really tough for me. Just finished my run of RD2, really want to play 1, but that price tag is brutal
I'd been wanting to replay this game for a long time. Might wait on more news, a PS5 upgrade, or a sale.
Remember, Rdr2 has a limited number of bounties you can do in the story mode. Rdr1 has an infinite number of bounties. Definitely fun to do after you're all done with both games.
That still doesn’t make it worth $50
@@Sushie55u got a point
That was my biggest disappointment with RDR2. I'm no programmer, but I can't imagine it would have been hard to add. I do go back and just spend time in the world, but having radiant bounties would have made that much easier /more frequent.
Same with dueling. 2 had a few scripted duels but 1 had unlimited with strangers challenging you or through poker
@@LanceUppercut it's not hard at all, there are mods that add plenty of bounties to the game.
"this one may not be super exciting to people" is one of the most accurate sentences said in history
Hi I'm Nobody. Nice to meet cha!
absolutely waiting for a sale before buying this. absolutely love red dead and it was the first game that really got me into singleplayer story games and gaming in general, but no way am i paying $70NZD for this if it isn't even 60fps with updated textures
I played the PS3 version of RDR back in 2012 when it was available for free for PS+ users and never suspected it was gonna be this good. I do have RDR2 digitally though and yes i like that one too.
Though I prefer RDR2 now, I still go back to the original from time to time on my PS3 to replay some of my favorite missions. Every game should have chapter and mission replay ability.
This game deserved so much better😢
John stood up on my horse in the beginning to 🤣😂
RDR is one of my favorite games of all time and I've not played it since the original release. Greatest ending ever.
Picked up the physical copy today and started playing. I never got to play it back in 2010 so I'm really looking forward to it
I never played the original RDR, but always wanted to - even more after playing RDR2.
This will be a great opportunity for me, but I think I might just wait if there's gonna be a PC version of this or until I get a discount on it.
In the end it is just as you said: it's just a port from a 10 year old game with a price tag of 50 bucks. Might be great for people like me who never played it before, but there's so much other stuff to play that I don't might waiting for a discount at all.
just emulate it
Gotta love Jake’s high level of optimism about the game
ofc hes paid for it, he's a devil in sheeps clothing
I love him but it’s kinda unprofessional, like he scared of rockstar or something
@@MrIgorlubenskior because crying for 10 minutes like you want him to is pathetic
@@MrIgorlubenski Yeah, I think he really downplayed the outrageous price aspect on this one. After, it is supposed to be a review of this particular version of the game, not the game as a whole which we all agree is brilliant. I think the shady pricing aspect was not emphasized enough.
@MrIgorlubenski Nah, he is being professional by not jumping into the mob mentality. He is being objective when he says "the game is great, but the price is a joke." That isnt him being scared of rockstar lol
Did everyone get the War Horse with the game? Or is it the only thing that carried over from my PS3 edition? (It was a pre order bonus).
I got the goty edition for a 360, because I had a 360, but also backwards compatiblity. I ordered it on Amazon a few weeks before they announce this, and it was only like 15 bucks. Some Rockstar employee mispronounces 15 and it came out as 50 for you guys.
I already bought it like 13 years ago 😂
Thanks for the overview, I never did get a chance to play the 1st game and would enjoy checking it out. I just can't justify paying that much for a game that old. If it goes on sale later for $15 or less I may buy it but that's just how I feel about it rn. I'm really just stuck thinking "why $50?" Lol
I also have only played RDR2. I hate the idea of paying this much for an old game, but if I look at it by how many hours of enjoyment I’ll get from it, it seems slightly more justifiable. (Just will be annoying if they do put it on sale after a few weeks lol.)
Never touched the 2nd but I have to replay this! I do not have a ps3 or 360 to play
@@Leny1777 That’s really disappointing. Hope you still enjoy it. A great game all these years later
@@everybodylovesrayman467 I refuse to get it because I wanted to replay this!
4:18 red dead revolver was the first one. I think many forgot about it😂
Is there going to be a physical copy ?
I was waiting for this port for soo long. My heart sunk when I saw the price.
was waiting eagerly too but mine also sunk like yours 😂😂
Me too will wait for a sale on the physical copy
Rockstar keep failing us, I’d happily pay 50 with improvements
They really need a 60fps patch
It’s sad but honestly all I’m asking for rn is just a 60fps patch which is just disappointing when it comes to rockstar it’s the least they could’ve done
I am super excited to play this, my pc took a shit, so I just bought a PlayStation 5, Red dead redemption 2 was one of my favorite games so having the opportunity to play the first one no matter the performance is super intriguing. I want to see the continuation of John Marston's story.
I'll buy it on switch. I played it on 360 back in the day, and would've loved to hop back into online. Being able to play it on the go is gonna be great tho. (PS: I appreciated the clean game review, not falling into the discourse and pulling us along with you. True professionalism)
I think the price outrage is justifed but at the same time I don’t think anyone should be shamed for picking this up. No matter the price at the end of the day for 50 dollars it’s an infinitely better game than 95% of $70 games today and I’ve been enjoying tf out of playing it for the first time
PS4/Switch Red Dead Redemption 1 port doesn't have multiplayer. The Xbox version of Red Dead Redemption 1 is better because it's cheaper, 4K on Xbox Series X and Xbox One X, and multiplayer is still up.
I have only owned Nintendo consoles and this will be the first time I will own this game and I'm really looking forward to play it and on the road ahead maybe on the switch or the next consoles to eventually play all those amazing third party porta that I have missed over the years
You are in for a real treat my friend. An amazing game and one of the best DLCs ever. Seems to run quite well on the switch.
You will enjoy it. It has many little dark stories within the world if you step outside of the main storyline for a bit. It is darker, more grittier world than in RDR2. 🤔 Think of it like the a 70s -80s Spaghetti Western vs today's Epic Westerns. ❤
At least in my humble opinion. But I would love to hear what you think after playing it - it's amazing how fresh eyes aren't influenced by nostalgia. 😅
Should have been $20… Great video Jake
The cleaned up fidelity and higher resolution makes it worth it to me. It looks great on modern 4k televisions.
Seems like I finally get to play this on my steam deck. Hopefully runs better on Yuzu than on RPCS3 and Xenia.
