Rockstar has just announced that Red Dead Redemption, the critically acclaimed Western game from 2010, is coming to Sony PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on August 17. This might sound like good news for fans who have been waiting for a chance to play this classic on modern consoles, but some major drawbacks make these ports disappointing and overpriced.
First of all, these are not remakes or remasters, but simple ports with minimal changes. The graphics, framerate, and gameplay are the same as 13 years ago. The only new feature is the addition of some new languages. This means that PS4 and PS5 owners will not get to enjoy the game in 60fps or with enhanced visuals, and Switch owners will have to settle for a lower resolution and performance.
