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.

Zerobalance2340d ago (Edited 2340d ago )

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

Bane352340d ago

RDR looks so good in 4k on xbox one x

XxExacutionerxX2340d 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_go2340d ago

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

Chaos-Dad2340d ago (Edited 2340d ago )

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

kevnb2339d ago (Edited 2339d ago )

@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.

nick13b2340d ago

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

anonymousfan2340d 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)

XxExacutionerxX2340d ago (Edited 2340d 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

bluefox7552340d ago (Edited 2340d 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.

Kryptix2340d ago (Edited 2340d ago )

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

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

https://youtu.be/17jjIOU-dj...

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

Chaos-Dad2340d ago (Edited 2340d ago )

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

2340d ago
BioNeo2339d ago

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

VariantAEC2338d ago

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

WilliamSheridan2340d ago

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

-volt-2339d ago

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

2339d ago
matt1392339d 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!

starchild2339d 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

NovusTerminus2340d 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.

nucky642340d ago

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

NovusTerminus2340d 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.

DaDrunkenJester2340d 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.

NovusTerminus2340d 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_Head2340d ago (Edited 2340d 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.

DaDrunkenJester2340d 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.

starchild2339d ago (Edited 2339d 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?

VariantAEC2338d 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.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX2d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX18h ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee1d 17h ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard1d 16h ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga3d ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0073d ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein3d ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

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

badz149107d ago

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

Cacabunga108d ago

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

rudero107d ago

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

Cacabunga107d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g108d ago

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

1Victor107d 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 😱🤯

Profchaos108d 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

darthv72107d 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.

Profchaos107d 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.

Michiel1989107d 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.

darthv72106d 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.

coolbeans107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
