For a good while now, there have been rumors of at least a remaster and possibly a full remake of 2010’s celebrated video game “Red Dead Redemption”.
Then the other week came the announcement from Rockstar Games, who officially confirmed a port of the original game was coming for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
Released on Friday, the port appears to work quite smoothly (unlike the infamous “Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Edition release) and offers a very slight improvement of the one available version (the Xbox 360 version) thanks to the inclusion of AMD’s FSR.
Now, Twitter user National Pepper has gone into the files for the game on Nintendo Switch and made a small discovery – Double Eleven Studios’ executable file for the fame is titled “rdrremaster”.
This quickly led to speculation the project was initially a full remaster, but Take-Two may have ditched the idea after the GTA Trilogy’s failure and universal backlash.
On the other hand, the definition of a remaster can vary considerably in terms of how much effort is put in – meaning Take-Two could technically consider this a remaster.
Despite a backlash over its $50 price point, the game is going well on sales charts over a decade after its initial release. In the U.K., the game is the best-selling PS4 game on the PlayStation store. In the U.S. it’s the fourth best-selling PS4 game and the sixth best-selling Switch game.
