    Yeah. I actually like the “cheap” ports to get games onto modern platforms.

    I know people wanted RDR1 in the RDR2 engine. And that would be great. But this is closer to a GoG release where it is just “oh, cool. Always wanted to play that”

      I prefer RDR1’s more painterly look to RDR2’s more realistic direction anyhow, so as long as the game itself is in a high resolution and runs well then I think itll hold up just fine

        Honestly? Same. Outside of stuff like the snowstorm (that was arguably the death of Stadia…), I genuinely think RDR1 running under backwards compatibility on an xbox looks better than RDR2. Fewer polygons and material shaders but the art style is just so much more conducive to breathtaking set pieces.
