The rumored remaster of Red Dead Redemption could beat Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition just by not being a mobile port. While there’s nothing official, it has been rumored that Rockstar Games will shift its attention to remastering Red Dead Redemption following the release of the GTA Trilogy and GTA V’s current-gen edition next year. However, while news of a fully-fledged Red Dead remaster being in the works should be exciting, there is also cause to be anxious following the poor response to the GTA Trilogy.
The GTA Trilogy remasters were supposed to be a celebration of three of the most beloved open world games of all time, but they were anything but. There are plenty of reasons for the GTA Trilogy remasters’ bad reception, but reviews and players in particular cited issues with graphics, bugs, and framerate issues. Many also took issue with how the graphical update made the characters of the 3D Universe GTA games look weird.
Even though the collection was marketed as a new set of remasters for consoles and PC, it may not be as updated as some fans would have thought. It has been speculated that GTA Trilogy was, essentially, an upscaled version of a heavily criticized mobile port that had already been released several years ago. This may bode well for Red Dead Redemption’s potential remaster, as the original game has never been ported to mobile, and so may stand a better chance of receiving the time and attention required to make a current-gen version of the game worthwhile.
Why A Red Dead Remaster Could Be Better Than The GTA Trilogy
Prior to developing the Definitive Editions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, Grove Street Games ported those very same titles to mobile which were themselves poorly received. In addition to the poor, blocky graphical quality of the ports (which has carried over into the 2021 remasters), the mobile versions implemented frustrating and inefficient touch controls. While not all of the issues in the mobile port made their way into the latest remasters, it still wasn’t a good look for Rockstar, and the games were understandably met with criticism.
Unlike the definitive edition of the GTA Trilogy, however, Red Dead Redemption doesn’t have a remastered port that already exists. Whichever company puts together the Red Dead Redemption remaster, whether it’s Rockstar or another support studio, will need to update the game from its build on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While that might mean the project could take a little longer to develop than the GTA Trilogy, it does mean that, hopefully, a little more care will be put into ensuring a quality experience for fans.
However, it’s important to keep expectations in check, and a remaster of Red Dead Redemption doesn’t necessarily indicate a full-fledged remake could be on the cards. Even without issues carried over from a mobile port, a hypothetical remaster could just see minimal improvements made to visuals and gameplay mechanics. That said, the first Red Dead Redemption is a beloved game, and deserves a great remaster in the future – one that may hopefully learn from the mistakes made by the GTA Trilogy.
