Red Dead Redemption 2 Needs 60FPS Update Before GTA 6 Arrives

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."

[ocelot07]

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.

[Cacabunga]

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

[ocelot07]

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.

[Amplitude]

They could. There are 60fps mods for hacked PS5s. They're just waiting for the same reason they're waiting to release Red Dead 1 on PC - staggered hype

[isarai]

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.

[sagapo]

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

[isarai]

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

[anast]

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

[isarai]

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

[anast]

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.

[isarai]

@anast

Learn to read, you're talking in circles.

[anast]

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.

[isarai]

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.

[sagapo]

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.

[ocelot07]

Sorry but compared to pc even at 1080p on pc it looks like someone has rubbed vaseline on the console versions. Only time only time it looks really good on consoles is during cut scenes.

[anast]

I suppose you are doubling down. Good on you. The echoes got to sound good from your angle.

[anast]

I'm not talking about HDR. This is what I am addressing. "fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p." You all keep changing the goal posts so you can be right. The game looks great on my end.

[Rutaprkl]

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

[Profchaos]

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

[PhillyDonJawn]

Heck ya Game of the generation

[RaiderNation]

Still haven't played this game because of this very reason. I missed the boat on RDR2 originally and now that I am so accustomed to playing games at 60fps + I cannot go back to 30. I hope Rockstar patches this game sometime in the future or releases a Remastered version.

[purple101]

I’m with you
Brother owned it on Xbox one

I’ve never played it.

Hoping for that sweet sweet ps5pro patch. Same with cyberpunk. Although they already stated they stopped working on cyber. So don’t know about that one

[RaiderNation]

Cyberpunk already performs great on PS5. I'm not looking to revisit that one on Pro just for some improved ray tracing. RDR2 is another story though!

[Storm23]

You aren't missing much in my opinion. Yes, the world is beautiful and the story is good once you eventually get it all, but my god was most of it pretty damn boring to me. But most liked it so you might be the same.

[Cacabunga]

looks more mind-blowing than most "next gen" games.. I platinumed it under a month ago and I am not playing FF16.. well it feels/plays like a PS2 game in comparison of the incredibly detailed RDR2.

[MeatyUrologist]

Not gonna happen. If it hasn't happened already, they won't do it now unless they can charge 60-70 bucks for it. It's sad but for a company that rakes in billions to be too greedy to reward their loyal customers by paying a few programmers a few grand to unlock framerates for new consoles is unacceptable. Everyone has been begging for this for years and we get nothing but a big F U from Rockstar. Other companies have done far more than this for free, but Rockstar knows people will throw money at them regardless, so they have no need for "good will".

[Psychonaut85]

At this point, won’t happen. They won’t do it until enough time has passed for them to get away with charging for it. I genuinely hope I’m wrong. But this is Rockstar we’re talking about. Won’t be surprised if they do like the first game, they’ll release a remaster for PS6 and try to charge $60 for it. And act like it’s a deal.

[1nsomniac]

Why do people still waste their time with Rockstar!?

They’re not the team they used to be. They’re clowns and they’re mugging you lot right off!

A single basement dweller modder achieved it ages ago. Rockstar haven’t done it because they don’t want you to have it. It’s not worth their time because it’s not big business. They couldn’t care less they’ve relentlessly proved this over and over again over the last few years and you people seem to be oblivious to it.

[aaronlif10]

I'd really like to see a full next gen update. Improved HDR, lighting and textures, and some other next gen bells and whistles. The game is incredible and absolutely deserves the upgrade.

[Demetrius]

By time we get that update gta 6 will be bloated with online dlc

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Rockstar don't give a damn about anything that ain't GTA Online.

[sweatyrich]

The reality is, it's not worth Rockstar's time and/or effort as for THEM, there's very little $ to be made.
R* are ALL about the money, so they'll invest everything into GTA 6, then work on milking that online cow, then dangle a RDR3 bone in 3 or 4 years time.

[DivineHand125]

Rockstar is still trying to figure out how to monetize the patch.
