"Sony has gotten a lot of flack thrown its way due to the company announcing games way ahead of release. Example: Sony announced The Last of Us Part II and Death Stranding way ahead of launch; Sony stated that the two titles were still in early development. Is this good or bad? I think it’s great for the consumer, as it is futureproofing the consumer’s purchase." -- Gaming Enthusiast
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.

Start buying those misty and Jessie Pokemon cards, they going to jump in value. Good thing I have three of Misty's top cards. Japanese Misty tears, Misty's favor full art, and Misty & Lorelei SR 191/173. Going to see if I can buy some misty cards that are decently valued.
I also have some Jessie cards. Jessie & James full art.
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.
I bought GTA5 but never really got into it. I just get bored of GTA somehow after a few hours.
RDR2 on the other hand is the best game I have ever played.. so mesmerizing from beginning to that platinum trophy pop and beyond.. a glorious masterpiece that redefined open world after GTA5.
Reverse for me, red dead undoubtedly pretty and attention to detail second to none but I haven't felt the need to play it more than once. At times it was a bit slow. Where as I've platinumed GTA 5 3 times.
I think it'll set records. I think there's gonna be major hype. Mayne they can do a midnight release in my area. Last one I remember was gta 5 back on ps3,valentines day night.
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.
There is always a fear. I don't believe Take Two tests on the laurels of their last game. They seem like they keep progressing forward.
GTAV was between some numbers too. I could say GTAV was between 100mil and 1billion... Read Dead numbers range from 130 mil. to 600 mil. this isn't a statement that will get anywhere. The estimated development budget for RDR2 was reported to be around 200 mil. That 265 number is for developing and publishing. The price of marketing has skyrocketed. That 265 million is 427 million today.
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...
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I've probably only played through half the story.
Why would it be a problem when your platform consistently gets games released for it on a monthly basis?
Indeed it's not. I would rather know a game is announced and being worked on then to never hear about a game. How can I trust a company to deliver games when no games are announced? Having a game shown off and then released is cool and all, but it doesn't build up any hype or give you time to prepare for it.
Its 50/50 honestly.
Some games were announced within a year of launch and I thought they were boring. Dead Rising 4 for one.
'I think it’s great for the consumer'
Exactly.I agree. From a responsible grown up consumers point of view it's best to be informed. Some people act like kids you have to hide surprises because they can't cope with knowing. The important thing is that they should be honest and not pretend a cg trailer means it will release soon.
I think Hellblade is a nice example of how they can treat gamers as responsible consumers in giving an honest account of how the development is doing.
To me, only nintendo can do this. They need to let their fans know that beloved series' arent dead with a teaser shot or something.. Also that 3rd party games will be coming.. Whenever done with other platforms, i just ignore it. Could be cancelled or not even release the same generation..
