In recent months, there have been strong rumors pointing to the release of a remaster of red dead redemption. And this Monday, Rockstar Games has announced that his acclaimed game will finally make the leap to the PlayStation 4 – and can also be played on the PS5 – and to the Nintendo Switch.
However, the publisher has avoided talking about “remastering” or “remake“. And for a simple reason: It’s not about either of those two things.. In the official communiqué it is mentioned that the versions of red dead redemption for PS4 and Nintendo Switch are a “new conversion” by Double Eleven Studios. It’s a portafter all.
An interesting point to mention is that the premiere of red dead redemption on Nintendo and Sony consoles it comes accompanied by the DLC Undead Nightmare. The latter gives a twist to the story of John Marston, mixing the western genre with a zombie apocalypse. Those looking to get their hands on this release shouldn’t wait too long. The game will be available on both platforms starting next 17 of August.
“The Switch and PS4 versions bring the two classic experiences back together for new players and original fans alike to enjoy on modern consoles,” Rockstar Games states. Remember that, in the case of Xbox, players could already access the original version of red dead redemption —from Xbox 360— on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
red dead redemption Coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4
The announcement of red dead redemption on PS4 and Nintendo Switch leaves a bitter taste. Not only because it is not a remastering or remake, but also for its price. The game will be sold in exchange for $49.99both through Nintendo eShop as of the PS Store.
It is true that, as we said, the title comes accompanied by a DLC, which allows you to enjoy more content, in addition to the original proposal. However, does not stop being him port from a game just over 13 years old. Is it worth paying $50 for an experience that won’t bring any graphical or gameplay enhancements? It’s a strange release, to be sure.
The only addition that will bring red dead redemption for PS4 and Nintendo Switch is that for the first time it will offer support for more languages. Among them, Latin Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
In addition to the premiere in digital format that will take place on August 17, there will be versions of red dead redemption in physical for both platforms. However, those interested will have to wait a little longer, since they will be made available from the October 13. In this sense, Rockstar Games has not clarified if they will be sold at the same price, or if they will be more expensive.
As we already said, this release of red dead redemption It’s disappointing. Let’s hope that at least the port offer a quality experience and not be a fiasco like the remastered trilogy of gta.
