HI WWW

First some music:

 

 

I was going to write about MR-VR headsets.. but this thought about RDR has been rattling around in my head for a long time partner.

 

Some Background

The fanbase cried out, like wolves far from the night campfire.. for RDR1 on PC, but near going on ten years.. R* were pretty silent on the subject until one R* Dev broke the silence and revealed that the RAGE Engine version that R* San Diego used, was in-between versions and was custom to the studio at that time and could not be ported, as they no longer had access to that highly customized version.

 

Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for PC in November 2019.

 

Myself and my nephew are just getting round to completing this together.. we're about half way through.

 

GTA Trilogy Woes

I did indeed buy the GTA trilogy, pre-ordered from the R* client.. those games were a huge disappointment.. but also they were janky ports.

 

There are many reasons why to NOT port RDR.. and I agree with them all.. no, RDR1 should be rebuilt inside RDR2 using all those assets.. all that is needed is mission scripting and cutscenes.

 

Do it 'In-House' or Don't Bother..

R* have everything they need sitting there.. no need for new textures or mechanics.. it's all there already.. Like FREE MONEY... ready to continue the story of RDR.

 

Grove Street's effects were a joke that no one who paid for the game laughed at.. but if done in house at R*..one of their many many studios.. probably R* San Diego.

Look at the AWESOME SAUCE FFVII remake on PC!

Yes it CAN be done right if done with love.

 

Red Dead: The Complete Collection

All rebuilt inside RDR2 engine with those assets.

In Order of play:

 

Red Dead Revolver: 1860*

Red Dead Redemption: 1899

Red Dead Redemption: 1911

Red Dead Nightmare : 1914

 

I hope this interested you.. as it has been a quiet story I have been telling myself around this lonely campfire as I listen to those howls in my heart getting closer..

Red Dead Revolver: 1860 

 

The Van der Linde gang gather around the campfire the night before the Blackwater robbery.. to tell stories of the Old West.

At one point half way through the telling of these stories..Uncle and John Marston lock eyes.. letting us the player know, Red Harlow is a mix of Uncle's and John's life.

Uncle tries to correct the storyteller.. but John waves his hand to shush Uncle. It seems John and Uncle have a pact never to talk about Red Harlow. John was called 'Red' as a child due to 'Mars'-ton.. and Uncle's last name is Hardlaw.
