Performance issues notwithstanding, this is the best way to experience one of the best games of this generation.
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.

Lmao 😂 are we really doing this? It makes more since to use the best console version for the comparison Xbox one X Native 4K 30 vs PC Uber 4k 60 bells and whistles
Seems odd to use the PS4 Pro as the console representation here when the One X is the best consoles has to offer. Thus all you're doing is comparing the best of the best with the most adequate of the best...
Im playing RDR2 since Friday. No issues At all ,maybe one time game crashed , but a part of that all is good. Btw... it’s amazing game!! So many small bits that’s make you feel R* is one of the best game maker. For example I pick body and my T-shirt was all in blood 😁
Maybe I'm wrong, but the difference between PS4 Pro and the X is in the resolution, and a few dips in the main town. Maybe even that is ironed out since HDR patch. Game having a softer look doe to all volumetric light, I really can't see differences at all, witch is impressive for a weaker hardware.
Now PC has some crazy settings, but overall main difference is in its draw distance, better lighting and color representation, and higher frame rate. ( there a lot more but that is just what I see, not what I read that is changed).
I really like water effects in games so water on pc also stands out for me.
I would compare this PC vs Console thing to Witcher 3 transition going from main game to Blood and Wine DLC where developers themselves made graphical upgrades to have a better experience.
I don't have either console but clearly the One X is more powerful than PS4 Pro. Why not use the One X vs PC. Plus the PS4 Pro is a bit blurry.
