Despite the Unimpressive Reception of Red Dead Redemption Port, Belief Behind GTA VI Remains Unshaken Amongst Fans

Rockstar has truly disappointed fans with a Red Dead Redemption port for Nintendo’s Switch and PlayStation 4. Priced at $50, this new Red Dead Redemption port seemed to dishearten fans as they wanted a remake of this fan-favorite title. Released in 2010, Red Dead Redemption received an immense amount of love from fans. The hype went so high that fans were actually demanding a remastered version of this wild-west RPG. 

However, quite like a bad dream, fans are only going to receive a port for PlayStation 4 and Switch, which will play the DLC version of Read Dead Redemption. Although publishers felt the price tag was commercially accurate, the internet seemed to be divided in terms of opinions. 

Rockstar’s decision about Red Dead port tenses fans

Take Two recently announced a new port for Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 and Switch. However, developers won’t be offering the game’s multiplayer platform in this port. Therefore, the hefty price tag of $50 didn’t seem worthwhile at all for many fans. In fact, fans spoke about a remake of this fan favorite wild-west for that price.

Now that rumors about Grand Theft Auto VI are also brewing, fans are quite tensed about Rockstar’s intentions with this title. In 2022, Rockstar first announced about Grand Theft Auto VI was being developed by the team. It certainly brought many expectations from the fans. 

However, Rockstar’s plan with Red Dead Redemption port, with such an expensive price tag, now left fans in serious tension about the upcoming GTA title. Although there are criticisms, some fans still held onto their love for Rockstar Games.

Recently one Read Dead fan took to his Reddit to speak about his thoughts on this matter- “Even though Rockstar has money-grabbers like GTA Online, Red Dead Redemption 2 was STILL an amazing game!”
