Take-Two Shut Down Red Dead Enhancement Project

All good things must come to an end. In some cases, the death knell tolls before they’re out of the stalls. Such is the case for the much anticipated Red Dead Redemption Enhancement Project, in which Johnathan Wyckoff hoped to bring the much loved classic to PC. Wyckoff, aka “DemandDev” announced his ambitious plans for the fan-made remaster last August, the “Dammed Enhancement Project”. Sadly, Take-Two were having none of it.

Hopefully it was shut down due to them already having an enhancement of their own in development.

Teflon022069d ago

Likely, Take Two never would stop this kinda thing for no reason. Everyone plays Rockstar titles with graphics mods and they'd never care so this has to be a rerelease coming

CantThinkOfAUsername2069d ago (Edited 2069d ago )

This is not a Graphics mod. It's a fan-made remaster porting the Xbox360/PS3 version to PC with visual enhancements (emulator-based mod). Take-Two is legally in the right here.

anubusgold2069d ago

NO they have been suing GTA mod makers because they were too good and far better than their own DLC.

autobotdan2069d ago

Well there already was a enhancement on xbox one x for Red Dead Red

autobotdan2069d ago

Not just BC. ENHANCED 4K on Xbox One X

Olly_S2069d ago

I certainly hope so. One of the clauses the dev was arguing is that Take-Two say they will never pursue modding on single player games that are not of commercial interest, to paraphrase. Considering there are a host of RDR2 mods happily existing out there, it is a strange move indeed if they weren't planning something. We live in hope.

Nah. This is Just standard business practice for ownership of ip. You have to show that You are willimg to protect your ip, or your right to protection in the future can be compromised.

chicken_in_the_corn2069d ago

Exactly. Take Two have done this more than once without a remaster or remake following

All resources are going to the next gen GTA online -___-

moongrim2069d ago

When was the last time Take-Two released a game, like 5 years ago?

CantThinkOfAUsername2069d ago (Edited 2069d ago )

NBA 2K21 released 11 days ago.

Charlieboy3332069d ago

Fuck Take Two then. Someone is willing to take their fossil of a game and improve it in ways they never even bothered with....no one gives a shit about the original Red Dead anymore and sure as hell no one is buying it at this point in time unless a rock is their address and they are living under it. If anything this would create a renewed interest in that has-been game. Fan appreciation is a thing. As long as they are not selling it for monetary gain what damage is the mighty Take Two experiencing? Maybe they would prefer it if no one gives a toss about their games at purchase time as well as 10 years later.

Charlieboy3332069d ago

Ah, a disagree....thanks man! I LOVE disagrees....in fact, I collect them! Would be nice if you told me why though....or actually....I. don't. care.

ZwVw2069d ago

Yeah. The NERVE of them protecting their intellectual properties. Wtf do they think they are?!

Charlieboy3332069d ago

Anyone who likes Take Two and their games look at goats in a "special" way. Cmoooonn guys..... I neeeeed those disagrees.....only 4 right now.

autobotdan2069d ago

Someone(Microsoft) is willing to take their fossil of a game and improve it in ways they never even bothered with.. yeah Microsoft did great work enhancing RDR to 4k

I just don't get why people broadly advertise these types of projects. They consistently get taken down by the publisher before they're finished. They may as well just paint a big red target on them for getting cease and desist orders. They should have just finished the project and immediately release it so there's no stopping it or at least the earliest form of it but at least it'd be finished for the most part.

calactyte2069d ago (Edited 2069d ago )

As the creator of the Mortal Kombat HD project which also received a cease and desist I can tell you we do it to attract talent to help finish the mod/remake etc. If no one knows about it, no one can help make it.

Lionsguard2069d ago

You could try to be more underground about it through various other forms of advertisement. To date, I don't think any of these "HD Projects" have ever come to fruition.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio16d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg19d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k419d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS19d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
