Red Dead Redemption already runs faster on Xenia than on Xbox 360 with almost perfect graphics

DSOGaming writes: "Last week, we informed you about Xenia, the best emulator for Xbox 360, running Red Dead Redemption. While that version of the X360 emulator was able to run the game, it was filled with some awful vegetation glitches. Fast forward a week though and here we are with a newer version that can run the game better and has those vegetation issues fixed."

Rockstar could have gotten money for this being on pc, I will never understand gaming companies. Good job to the people who did this, beats the Xbox One X verison.

Zerobalance2313d ago (Edited 2313d ago )

Does it? How so? RDR runs at 4K 30 on the 1X. Plus it is free if you already own the disc.

Bane352313d ago

RDR looks so good in 4k on xbox one x

XxExacutionerxX2313d ago

First it Runs at 4K 60 FPS, Second, it’s not free if you bought the disk to begin with to play it on Xbox One X. Third, you miss the point completely, because people can simply download the game online and play it on pc now, FOR FREE
Meaning Rockstar doesn’t.....make.....money

letsa_go2312d ago

It's free, you just gotta pay for it first!

Chaos-Dad2312d ago (Edited 2312d ago )

PC -> 60 FPS
XOne X -> 30 FPS....
so... whats your problem @Zero? the PC Version here is better than the X Version.

@shaggy2303 why assume everyone is pirating it on pc? Millions had a 360 last gen and went ps4 this gen, and many of these people would like to revisit this game (which they own) with nicer graphics and a better frame rate.

exacutioner is a misinformed fool. clearly owns a ps 4 that cant even do 4k haha what a bitch

anonymousfan2313d ago

he is speaking bullshit about Xenia beating the XOX but he has a point about Rockstar being a little funny about this I mean... why not release it on PC? (I have the game on X360 I just feel my PC gamer friends missed out)

XxExacutionerxX2313d ago (Edited 2312d ago )

You’ve missed the point as well. Please pray that Crackdown 3 is a good game these year, otherwise your Xbox One X is going to get really dusty this year as well as last year....and the year before....wait when did halo 5 come out? Oh i forgot about it, just like every other forgettable Xbox One exclusive past present and future. Enjoy your quote “very old games that get you through the year when Microsoft doesn’t make any exclusives” in 4K feature on Xbox One X

bluefox7552312d ago (Edited 2312d ago )

Except he's right and you're wrong. It's a last gen game, and X can only do 30fps? Let me simplify it for you: 60fps is better than 30fps. You're also wrong about pro, it can do 4k. It doesn't do it every time, but neither does the X. Imagine bragging about running last gen games in 4k at 30fps, lol.

According to the latest video, it now hits 60fps.

Disagree all you want, but technically, it does beat the Xbox One X version.

Want to give this a try, hope to see texture packs.

Chaos-Dad2312d ago (Edited 2312d ago )

Xbox Fanboys... they dont see 60FPS ^^

2312d ago
BioNeo2312d ago

It jumps from 15fps to 60fps. Please watch the entire video before providing false information.

VariantAEC2311d ago

If a near constant 32FPS with random spikes to 45 or 50FPS is what the kids call 60FPS these days.

WilliamSheridan2312d ago

Yeah, and the PC you run it on only costs 3 times an Xbox X! Great bargain!

-volt-2312d ago

How's that paying to play online working out for you.

2312d ago
matt1392312d ago

60fps with massive dips, it's very unstable. Of course a stable 4k30 is better than this stuttering mess. You must be trolling at this point. If they can eventually make it to run at a locked 60 with few dips, then it will be very good!

starchild2312d ago

Yeah but you can always cap it at a stable 30fps if consistency is more important to you. The emulator will also continue to improve and a stable 60fps will be attainable soon enough.

"Red Dead Redemption already runs faster on Xenia than on Xbox 360 with almost perfect graphics"

What do you mean "Already"... the game has been out since freakin 2010. Also the 1X version upgrades it to 4k anyway. The headline should read "Red Dead Redemption runs faster on Xenia than on Xbox 360 with almost perfect graphics on a computer 9 years later".

Wooooow what an achievement lol

NovusTerminus2313d ago

Two things, you are heavily undercutting the level of work that goes in to emulation. Yeah, companies with full unhindered access to the source code of a game can port it faster, emulation developers have to crack the encryption and then start with no tools to make everything work.

Second they are saying the Xenia emulator is already running faster then RPCS3 which is a PS3 emulator that has been in the works for a while, so it is impressive that Xenia has already caught up to and passed it.

nucky642313d ago

wouldn't it have been simpler to just play the game 10 years ago?

NovusTerminus2313d ago

I mean, that's what I did... But not everyone had the option, or just couldn't justify spending the money on a console for a single game.

But I still understand why they are doing it, and admire the work they put in to making this work.

DaDrunkenJester2313d ago

I'd assume you'd just buy a 360/ps3 at that point. Why spend 10 years of your life emulating a game when you could have bought a damn console and played it.

NovusTerminus2313d ago

A emulator is about more then that, firstly I'm sure this guy has not spent 10 years working on it.

Mostly a working emulator can help play rare games, like Tenchu Z for example. Limited physical release and no digital release so as time goes by it will be harder to find the game, things like that are what emulation are most useful for, they tend to start with hard to run games to better optimize the emulator in question.

Giblet_Head2313d ago (Edited 2313d ago )

nucky64

Of course. For example I bought and played it on my PS3 at release. Would I play it again on my PS3 at it's lower resolution when I now have the option to play it at a higher one with improved framerate? Lol. No.

DaDrunkenJester2313d ago

Novus, who would want to play Tenchu Z ever again? Or in general? Man that game was garbage and a slap to what Tenchu is or was.

starchild2312d ago (Edited 2312d ago )

@NovusTerminus

It's interesting you bring up Tenchu Z since that's one of the main games I want to play again. I loved that game and sunk countless hours into it.

@DaDrunkenJester

Tenchu Z was surprisingly fun once I got over how different it was. Obviously, it didn't have Rikimaru, Ayame, Tatsumaru or other characters from the previous games, and it didn't have as structured a narrative, but mechanically and gameplay-wise it was a big improvement over the previous games in the series. The customization of your character was a lot of fun too.

To each their own. But Tenchu Z and Red Dead Redemption 2 are two of the 360 games I want to return to.

@nucky64

Well, a lot of people have already played these games, but that doesn't mean that we wouldn't like to return to them with better graphics and framerates than the original. Plus, in many cases the original hardware we owned is broken and this is a way for these games to live on. What's wrong with that? Isn't that what backwards compatibility is for? I mean, are you going to take the same stance if the next PlayStation and Xbox have backwards compatibility?

VariantAEC2311d ago

RPCS3 is older but PS3 hardware is harder to emulate. The PS3 works the opposite way most games are generally developed with many more GPU related functions occurring on the CPU rather than the GPU.
The developers of this PC emulator need to circumvent these odd PS3 processing characteristics and that takes more time.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz14980d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga80d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero80d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga79d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g80d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor80d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos80d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv7280d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos80d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel198980d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv7279d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
