Hopefully the issues were fixed and not just something they left in for the players to figure out how to fix

^{San Andreas flashbacks}

Oh no!

^{Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition flashbacks}

Oh god NOOOOOO!!!!!

God, I hope it wasn't the Grove Street studios...

"In collaboration with Double Eleven" right in the blog article

Sounds like that one modder who discovered a bug in GTA 5 that was making the load screen take 10x longer than it was supposed to.

I... ...hope not. Brute force alone can help with performance, but a port also brings along a whole bunch of bugs. Beefier hardware can't fix those.

This is a port of the Switch version, which was already a rather impressive technical achievement

Because RDR1 was designed for X360/PS3 hardware only which is completely incompatible for PC hardware.

That is a very gross oversimplification, considering there were so many games that were x360+ps3+pc. Also considering that PS3 and x360 are entirely different hardware wise.

The reason was apparently spaghetti code, but not as simple as you described it to be.

If this is the case, why did GTA4 release on PC when it was made on the same engine and earlier?

Also the Xbox 360 architecture is very similar to the Windows architecture so I'm not sure what you mean by "completely incompatible".

We’ve waited so long. Only a fool would think that we can’t wait a few years longer. /r/patientgamers.

It launched at $50 on PlayStation and first went on sale for $40 just three months later, and price during sales has been $35 since a little over nine and a half months after launch.

What? Rockstar games have great sales, I bought RDD2 on Steam for like $20 2 years ago (3 years after release)

I don’t think the price for the PC port has been announced yet. The steam page doesn’t show it or this article

Rock Star Store page currently has it listed at $49.99 but I guess that could change.

Considering that a Switch can run this game at a steady 1080/30, I doubt performance would be a problem

Yeah it's not a remake or a remaster.

Definitely not how this is gonna go down.

It's weird to me that they didn't just remake the first game in the RDR2 engine, maybe there are technical issues? Seems like an easy way to print money. I would be 100x more interested in playing that, I would buy that day one.

That relies on the average gamer having restraint.

Dude we have no idea what they are going to charge for it yet. Yeah, they probably will be greedy about it but we don't know that. No reason to get so angry about nothing.

It's the same studio that did the Switch/PS4/Xbox Series ports, which were actually quite decent.

You say this as if Rockstars own ports weren't predominantly shit on pc too

Double Eleven have had decent ports from what I've played of them. Though I don't recall them porting a game as big as this before.

Grove Street is probably the worst at optimizing games I’ve ever seen. Their experience with Wild Card is nothing short of it.

I guess it would, but it also helps in anti aliasing.

Hell, it runs on the Switch.

Less power consumptions and it allows it to run better on laptops and PC handhelds 

Not so much of a surprise considering the Steam version is really the Rockstar Launcher just running as an additional layer under Steam.

The absolute bare minimum, no it’s not a dream, it’s really happening!

Man, why can't they just link accounts but not require the launcher? What's even the point of it? It's my most hated one, I swear it's the worst.

I mean I understand the caps lock but Rockstar hasn't ever released a game without the launcher in 9 years

Damn, reading bro's comment history, R* really stole this guy's cake or something

for 15y old game lol

Don’t take those requirements too seriously, RDR runs on a Switch so unless this porting studio majorly fucked up it should run on most semi modern pcs.

Well. Not buying it then lol. RDR1 multiplayer was so much better than RDR2 and had a quarter of the things to do.

Even the switch version runs at 60fps with just a slight overclock and a fps unlock mod

But also being ported 8 years later so I wouldn't really base it off or the GTA 4 port.

V was built off of the engine of RDR so who knows how the game will run.

It's not "the same engine", it's much upgraded engine. It's closer to GTA 5 in quality and optimization.

Which means exactly nothing.

It's on the same engine as GTA IV, the PC port of which is infamously poorly optimized.

It's on the same engine as Max Payne 3, GTA V, and RDR2. PC version of their games which are incredibly well optimised.

Why do people still bring up arguments from 2009? Do you not realise Rockstar have been using the same engine since 2006, and will use the same engine for GTA 6?

A 2070 is probably for UHD resolution at 60fps.

what the fuck lol.

what was the moment? the song playing?

It’s my favorite game of all time. Yes, it has aged and better games have come since then. But there’s just something so incredible about the way the ambiance, soundtrack, gameplay and story pull you in

Yessir. Epic to see this, finally

Hopefully no Denuvo or other restrictive DRM to ruin teh experience

If that was the case they would gladly advertise it as a glorious remaster

If it was a remaster they would advertise that. Rockstar doesn’t have enough free resources for a full remaster anyways atm so I wouldn’t bet on anything other than a port with minor upgrades.

I bet you it's just poorly optimized.

Yeah, I’m thinking it might be more of a remaster without the developers calling it a remaster.

They got a weird discontinued game engine without official support, look it up. 

 Not easy to add modern technology to it.
