    Wow.

    Almost three years into a new console generation, but let’s port it to a 10 year-old console instead.

      Well, it does make sense. Xbox consoles already have it through backwards compatibility, porting it to PS4 means PS5 users can also play it. It seems like a straight port, not a remaster.

        Which means nothing in terms of graphics or performance improvements.

        And no doubt Rockstar/Take Two will ask a premium price for it.

          How much improvements in graphics are you asking for on a port to the Switch?

          People bitch and moan about games not being available. And then they always criticize games when they’re available. What happened to just enjoying a good game for what it is?

        This could be one step towards that. A PS4 release means it’s been ported to x86 hardware (the 360 did not have x86 hardware and the X1/XSX version is basically emulation with enhancements)

    this is just embarrassing. Simple cash grab. I can’t imagine it will be better than running on Xenia or RPCS3

      Okay, but those don’t run on ps4/5 or switch and they aren’t selling it on PC so what’s the problem?

      It’s okay for developers to re release old games on modern consoles. It’s okay.

        without even a FPS boost to 60fps? For £50

        nah, thats not ok. by any stretch.

        Especially when the PS3 version was (as far as I recall) available streamed on PS+ Premium tier/PS Now

    Curious to see what consessions need to be made for Switch. Just get the coders from the Doom port and we’re good👌

        Yeah, the hardware when handheld is about what the PS3/Xbox 360 gen could do, just with a bit more RAM.

        I wouldn’t expect 60 fps, but it should be about what the original was, even if it’s the usual Rockstar “can’t be arsed” unoptimised mess.

        Awesome! Have played it a bit on PS3 and I am interested in finishing that on my Switch.

    Switch Users - This is amazing, will be able to play Red Dead Redemption on the go

    PS5 Users - a 10 year old game, with no fps boost, no graphics boost, for £50? **** Off R*
