Gamerheadquarters; "While resolution rarely factors into how enjoyable a game can be there, there is a sense of realism that's presented through a higher resolution."
Red Dead Redemption 2 mod turns the game into Elden Ring, adding spells, boss fights, and Uncle as the final boss.
Take-Two announced its financial results for Q2 of fiscal year 2026, and shared an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?
I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.
Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.
Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.
I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.
My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.
Dan Houser opens up about Red Dead Redemption 2’s rocky development, calling it behind schedule, massively over budget, and full of pressure to prove doubters wrong.
The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.
The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.
Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.
It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism
GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.
I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.
I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.

To the people who want to feel good about their Xboxone X purchase yeah I'd say it does, to the rest of us as in 99% of all xbox/ps4 onwers I'd say no, it doesn't matter to the slightest since we end up playing the exact same game.
first you have to define "matter". does it matter in the end enjoyment of the story? No. But it does give players more feast for the eyes, its like watching a standard blu ray vs watching an UHD blu ray except they both cost the same price as long as you have a device to play it on. So if you have the choice, its a no brainer to get the xbox one x version.
It's not a game changer or deal breaker either way. It's definitely a nice bonus to have on a great game but nobody should be upset about not having it.
Of course that matters. Game looks phenomenal on the X. Too bad Rockstar kinda fucked up with the Pro version. Because that's the version i'm playing. Lot's of people have issues with how it looks on their pro. In my case i think it looks fine. Just a bit soft.
Looks great on my PS4 Pro. If I didn't know already and someone lied to me and said it was native 4K, I would have believed them.
