The first thought that came to mind when starting Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 5 is how well the 13-year old game holds up visually. The second one was that there was still no way in hell I could recommend it to anyone for a “next-gen” price tag of $50. The graphics are clean and crisp, but otherwise it’s the same game that’s been available for years on Xbox One without the Undead Nightmare DLC for almost half that price.
Look out across sprawling prairies or cactus-filled desserts and you’ll immediately remember this is a PS3/Xbox 360-era world.
Will I still get the random encounters if I don't do any of the story.
I'd like to get the fishing rod and go mess around. I know the side missions are mostly tied to game progress but would all the random encounters still be active?
The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea published a new rating for Red Dead Redemption on June 15.
Remastered version on the way?
Why do you continue to play or keep up with Red Dead Redemption?
Just a general discussion to dust off the sub
The game is nearing 5 years now, and 13 years for it's predecessor RDR1. Yet the community is one of the largest and thriving and continues to grow everyday. It has been a consistent top seller in Steam since the start of this year. Despite the fact that Rockstar games has mostly abandoned it.
There's something about Red Dead Redemption which keeps the fanbase continuously interested and talking about this game.
So considering all of this, what is it about this series that keeps you playing? And if you're to the series, what are you enjoying/not enjoying about it so far?
This cutscene reveals how Arthur Morgan is a Rockstar's modern adaptation of the Knight Percival...

This cutscene is the only time RDR 2 had one of these enigmatic Strange Man encounters like in the first game. There's a lot to unpack here, and I've already drafted an absurd amount of detail linking the Arthurian Mythos with Red Dead Redemption. It seems very apparent that the writers intentionally based Arthur Morgan on the Knight Percival and how this revelation links to the Van der Linde gang.
And as I work to put all these pieces together I'm going to write it up. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this and how it elucidates the broader narrative of Red Dead Redemption
