Catering to Third Parties is Ultimately Bad for First Parties

GenGAME writes: "The last few generations, we’ve heard it like a clashing refrain: console companies need to cater to third-party publishers. There’s some value to that statement, of course. After all, the vast majority of titles released for any given console come from outside teams and developers.

"But the fact of the matter is that console makers are running their own businesses, too, and those businesses revolve just as much around their own software development as those of other content creators for their platforms. We may look at “console sales” as a metric for success, but there’s a lot more to it than that – we have to look at what’s been healthy for profitability, for sales of first-party software, and for the overall health of the consoles’ brands, too."

Note: Not saying third-party titles are bad. Just giving third-parties total control over your console is bad.

Bawal from Tech4Gamers writes "Red Dead Redemption 2 is still incredibly popular today, and it's a shame it hasn't received a 60FPS upgrade for consoles yet."

Kind of wonder why they can't release a patch for 60fps. I don't expect a native ps5 just a patch to allow the original PS4 version run at 60 on ps5. They did it for the red dead redemption remaster.

I just got the platinum a few weeks ago.. I would replay the whole main story in 60FPS if this happens.

ocelot078h ago

I tried forcing my self to play it on ps5 recently and the 30fps killed it for me I just can't do it.

Played the pc online version and it was just a joy playing it at 1440p 80+ FPS.

isarai16h ago

It needs far more than 60fps, better resolution, fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p, fix the input lag, and fix the wack HDR implementation.

sagapo16h ago

Yeah, the HDR is terrible, made me wonder why the dev’s even bothered.

isarai12h ago

The fact that they've been called out on it by several sources and still haven't done a thing. It's just ridiculous

anast15h ago

The game looks great on my PS5 and PC monitor. You might need to update your gear.

isarai12h ago

Everything i said is proven, documented and demonstrated by several sources including Digital Foundry. I have a $3k 4k lg OLED, and ive been professionally calibrating displays for over a decade. It aint me or my equipment

anast12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

It's too far away from trash. It looks great on my setup. It has to be your equipment or your perception or you enjoy being hyperbolic.

@anast

Learn to read, you're talking in circles.

anast12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

This is a common trend with you. You seem to not understand the words you are typing. But unlike you, I am not gifted enough to make judgments on the level of your literacy.

"Fix the trash" is being hyperbolic. At least, now we know what the problem is. It's not your equipment or Digital Foundry skewing your perception.

isarai12h ago

You seem to not understand how to read an entire sentence which seems to be the common trend with you. How about you quote the entire statement. "Fix the treash checkerboard rendering" which, yeah if it makes 1440p look worse than 1080p it's somehow not just failing to do it's only job, but actually making things worse. It would be better off thrown out....like trash. Hell even Digital Foundry reccomends forcing a 1080p output over 1440p for a clearer image, and even just made a new video like a week ago bringing up that problematic soft checkerboard rendering again.

All of which you can gather by my very first response to you, that you somehow respond to, but don't actually comprehend. It's like if i told you "hey here's $5 for you a coffee" you would respond "ok but i need a coffee and don't have any money" you ask the question to the answers you're currently replying to, can you not read? Do you not know how to fact check? Do search bars, google, and YouTube not exist for you? Figure it out, you're a whole ass human im not going to walk you through how to use your own damn brain.

Anast, I’ve played Red Dead on my LG oled, it looked better with HDR turned off. The fact however that Gran Turismo in HDR looks superb on the same screen pretty much says it all. HDR in Red Dead is broken.

Rockstar's gonna do jack s*** about it

Profchaos14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I've been waiting for this since getting my ps5 I don't think it's a big ask the game sold 32 million copies plus.

There's already homebrew out there to achieve this on modded consoles.

Knowing Rockstar they probably want to release a native version but will delay it over and over like GTA v which didn't need a native port tbh a 60fps patch would of been fine.

I predict however were more likely to get GTA IV remastering ported to PS4/5/switch same as rdr

Heck ya Game of the generation
