Earlier than you get overly excited, I need you rigorously observe that we’re speaking about Crimson Lifeless Redemption and never Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2. Sadly, there’s nonetheless no phrase of RDR2 coming to trendy consoles, regardless of the neverending rumours.
However that brings us to Crimson Lifeless Redemption. A brand new ESRB score for the sport has popped up that lists each PS5 and the Change 2.
This is likely to be barely complicated at first look, as a result of just a few years in the past there was an precise Crimson Lifeless Redemption port launched for PS4 and the Change, which induced a little bit of a stir as a result of it was priced at $50 regardless of not being a remaster or providing a lot of something new. It was technically higher than the unique recreation, however not sufficient to justify the cost to many individuals.
Some time later, Rockstar quietly up to date the PS4 model to incorporate a 60FPS toggle for PS5 customers. The truth that this was not included from the very begin was baffling.
So what the hell is that this new model that has popped up? Properly, it might merely be native PS5 and Change 2 variations of the present ports. However I believe it is likely to be slightly greater than that….
First, this new model particularly lists an Xbox Sequence model. That is essential as a result of the port from just a few years in the past didn’t get an Xbox launch as a result of the unique Xbox 360 model remains to be available on the Xbox retailer.
My considering is that this would possibly really be a real remaster of some kind. Understanding Rockstar it most likely received’t be an enormous improve, but it surely may need some improved textures, 60fps as commonplace and so forth.
Presumably this is likely to be supplied as -dare I say it – a free improve to present homeowners? And a standalone launch in any other case that basically replaces the earlier port and the Xbox 360 model that’s nonetheless on the market. That might, I consider, be sufficient to warrant the ESRB having to price it yet again.
Then once more, that is Rockstar and Take-Two, so who actually is aware of.
