That's not what I wanted, I wanted RDR on PC ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Anyway, it's extremely weird that they chose to release it on PS4 with backward compatibility to PS5 ๐Ÿค” (according to Rockstar)

This gives me a little hope that we can at least emulate the PS4 version (~~using pcsx4~~). This can be done already with the PS3 version but the requirements are hefty and it's pretty clunky.

Edit: nm, pcsx4 is scammy and bad news.

I wanted RDR on PC ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

RDR on the XBOX emulator is awesome!

PS4 and Switch? What year is this?!

[โ€“] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My guess is that they wanted to target the widest audience possible and with the PS5's backward compatibility they got to release it on the PS5 for "free".

(yes, they are missing the Xbox audience, but technically you could play the Xbox 360 version on Xbox One and Series)

They're also missing the huge PC market. I'd honestly be 100% happy if they just released it with an emulator packaged with it, just give me a convenient way to play on PC.

The last time they re-released something it went so well..

Yeah, it's like they're speed-running ticking everyone off.

Lmao no PC, too bad I don't really want to play such a game on Switch.

Indeed, idk anything about the graphical capabilities of the PS3/X360 emulators tbh, so idk if the Switch can be similar to native PS3 ๐Ÿคท

[โ€“] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

We'll have to see. Other PS3/360 games have been ported to the Switch with some success. If you can get PS3 or X360 emulators to run well on your system then that may be the best option. If not, Switch emulation is surprisingly good so hopefully this'll add one more viable way of emulating.

Can't we have a new game instead please?

All I wanted was a mission pack for RDR2, or even a direct port of the original to PC with the frame rate cap removed.

This is almost worse than releasing nothing imo.
