Digital Foundry just released their analysis and showed below LOW settings on pc is what the x1x version is running so beautiful at.

It’s basically pc gamer culture that says settings must be on high, but in this case lower than low beats the console. And that’s at 60fps not console 22-30.

beanplant2377d ago

I've seen the game on pc low and the texture look bad compared to console, what are you on about?

traumadisaster2377d ago

Read the df article. Ur right textures are high on console but to get that some settings are equal to below low on pc.

FlyingFoxy2377d ago

They said the game is running very few settings at high, some medium and others low or lower than low (like shadows) so X1X is actually doing decently, you need a 2080Ti to pull 60fps at 4k.. Tho if you played at 1440p that means you could run at 100+fps @ X1X settings, pretty nice!

I'm staying at 1440p with my high refresh screen, will pick up a high end 3000 series Nvidia card when they launch. The game should love the new cards.

Any chance to have it running on Microsoft Surface with 6600u and GeForce 940M?

Shane Kim2377d ago

Would be nice if the game ran at all. Mine is just stuck on the black & white loading screen.

Giblet_Head2377d ago

I think Rockstar is hanicapping ultra settings. Between high and ultra I'm noticing next to no difference, but the fps cost is apparent.

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg187d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW187d ago

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.

ZeekQuattro187d ago

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.

jznrpg187d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

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.

victorMaje187d ago

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.

FIELDMARSHALL_P187d ago

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.

RedDevils187d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake187d ago

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.

neutralgamer1992191d ago

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

YodaCracker191d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23190d ago

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.
