In spite of only having a single cinematic trailer and a short paragraph’s worth of vague description, Red Dead Redemption 2 has amassed a kind of following that most games can only wish for, even if they pump out a dozen trailers. Arguably the most hyped game of 2017 has people guessing as to what to expect, since Rockstar’s lips are sealed tight and no new info is being let slip.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games’ latest heavyweight, with nearly 40K concurrent players even five years after the (staggered) PC launch. Despite that, it can be a challenge to run the game on midrange and low-end PCs. RDR2 has gotten NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR 2 support following poor reception from Steam gamers.
"Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same."
Not if you use AMD Ryzen CPU's. That needs to be set to balanced. "Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark." Actually it would be better to undervolt and increase the clock speed and see how stable it is in game.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, and Grand Theft Auto V has passed a big sales milestone.
GTA V had a budget of 265 million, while RDR 2’s budget was between 370-500 million. Rockstar Games is one of the few studios that can invest so extensively in projects without fearing a lack of return.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I bought GTA5 on launch day (ps3) and to this day have yet to beat it. The game just kinda bored me. A lot of time has passed though, I wonder how much my opinion would change if I played it now. I'll give it another go, one day...
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
I enjoyed Red Dead Redemption's online modes more than GTA Online.
Who said it would be? They are very different kinds of games.
I'd love if the Online continued evolving as it is. RDR was pure brilliance riding around the open world with your friend's settings into the silly knife and dynamite fights and Mexican standoffs.
Why would it be? No way Rockstar/Take Two would just randomly axe GTAO, which is a huge revenue stream for them. They've been making mad bank off the Shark Cards for years now.
If they don't have the announcer before each match saying "The Mexicans vs. The Outlaws" and then the shootout before hand.....well, that would be a mistake.
