Remaster has been announced, for the Switch and The PS4... It's not even a remaster. It's just a port.  |

What in the name of Bonnie MacFarlane is the point of a re-release if it's not also a remaster?

lOn the one hand, I get it. On the other, as a person who doesn’t have a PS5 yet, I’ll take it. Yeah, if I were exclusively a Switch or PS4/5 owner, I'd not complain. It's still a fantastic game that has, bizarrely, seen very few releases on modern platforms (I guess not everything can have a Skyrim-style release history). Equally, we know Rockstar have all hands on deck for GTA6, so chances of a proper RDR remaster for the next few years are slim. Still, it's probably going to be on a lot of people's wish lists for a long time to come. |

Even with the Switch tax I can sort of see the value of playing RDR on the go, but this just feels like a middle finger to PS4/PS5 owners.

This is my issue as well. If it was like $20, I’d be fine with it. |

Did Nigel Dickens come up with that price? |

$50 is a pretty damn big asking price for a game I already have on Xbox. Maaaaybe I'll wait for a sale but I do still most definitely want it on Switch. We'll see.

Rockstar doing Rockstar-like things because they don't need to care anymore.

Jesus, $50 is ridiculous. I think I paid $10 for my XBox copy EDIT: Son of a bitch! My XBox copy is missing! |

I wouldn't pay $50 even if it included Abigail coming by my house to gave me a reacharound.

I wound up deciding to spring for the Switch version since I kind of just kept wanting it leading up to it. Seems like a pretty good port, can see some janky spots - water looks odd judging by the opening - but it runs well.

I don't need a remastered Jack Marston, or any Jack Marston.

So having reached Mexico and stopped for now feel it's safe to say this game just feels right on the Switch. It fits the handheld format really well and is just a really satisfying way to revisit it (even though I just played the game last year so it's not been long), it really didn't lose anything at all in the transition.
Is making me really hope the GTA4 rumors end up panning out since I'll totally spring for that one as well.
