last week I played this game first time and really shocked with how good the physics and graphics was considering the game realesed in 2010! this game is still masterpiece
I'm on a new playthrough, still a ton of fun and holds up very well. It's my first time playing it because I did undead nightmare first when I bought it awhile back.
@@Tahir-wz9rb I don’t think so. Shout out to all of the smart ones like myself who never tossed their ps3 & game collection simply because it was old. I still own all that shit, Won’t catch me paying full price for a re-release 🤣💪🏽
2024 and I just started playing RDR1 3 days ago and I love it. This is coming from someone who played RDR2 and is one of my top 5 fav games of all time.
What it does better than the second game is that npc won't get offended by you every second just because you're standing a little close to them or because you happen to walk to the same direction they'rr headed to so they think you're following them by mistake. Besides npc will get mad and fight each other by the same thing they get from you. However, in RDR2 everybody only reacts to you and they're super harsh on you as well. The AI in the first game makes the game more immersive for me because I can chill in the world like everybody else in it can.
The poker is so much better too, cheat mechanic when wearing elegant suit & also the conversations are hilarious. I was gutted when rdr2 had super basic poker.
Less animations and chill npcs, less filler. Better atmosphere even if the graphics arent new gen. This game is one game I wish I could play again for the first time. If you havent, enjoy.
My dad and girlfriend are watching me go through both games for the story. Through them I get to experience it new. She was in tears by the end of Arthur's story. John going after Micah they cheered. My dad asked about why John isn't hunting Dutch, just Bill and Javier in 1. We just got to Mexico.
I've often wondered why Rockstar didn't develop a DLC expansion for Red Dead Redemption 2 that seamlessly continued the narrative from Red Dead Redemption 1. It would have been the ideal progression, given that the storyline in RDR2 concludes right where RDR1 begins. The only substantial addition required would be the Mexico region, alongside some minor tweaks to the existing game world.
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 Its cause at the end of read dead 1, its just Jack who is an cowboy in a land that doesn't need them anymore. A sequel instead of a prequal would be too modern. It wouldn't be a good cowboy game anymore.
@@Dutch_Vander_Linde_doesn’t need to be a cowboy game. Change the name and continue on. I’ve had this same thought for a sequel game with Jack. Government finds him and gives him an option. Either be executed for the murder of Edgar Ross or enlist into the U.S. Army. WW1 has been going on a few years at this point by the time the US gets involved Jack would be 21. Have him establish connections, introduce allies and villains, etc. Have him go back home and start a business that’s doing well and then boom. Prohibition starts up a few years after and he’s forced into becoming a bootlegger. He then becomes a mobster with a gunslingers disposition. Instead of going to Mexico and America. It’s the NY area alongside some European locations. Give him a wife and a couple kids. Tell the story of how he lived that life and survived. Have him writing in a journal and becoming a number 1 book seller.
This is my favorite video game of all time. Sure rdr2 is a masterpiece but at the same time there feels like there’s too much realism from upgrading horses to all of the customization having to maintain Arthur, it can get to a point where it’s too much and takes away from the fun. I love the way outfits are unlocked in rdr 1 cause some outfits grant certain abilities and it gives you something to achieve and you feel like you’ve earned it after you unlock them. The stranger missions are better and more weird in rdr 1 and I prefer the story. Not to mention John has one of the most badass and iconic looks in gaming. I hate that they kinda treated him like an idiot in rdr2
I love this comment and agree with almost everything. The whole idea of how they present him in RDR2 is to show him becoming a Man. It all clicks and makes sense. That’s just perfect writing.
0:51 be aware that the Series X does not run RDR1 at 60 FPS. However, due to Xbox Series X‘s great low framerate compensation (LFC) on modern 120Hz TVs, it does feel a lot smoother than the 30 FPS felt on previous systems. Only way to achieve 60 FPS to my knowledge is via emulation on PC.
@@razvan0875Not really not nearly as much as other missions but the beginning is a little slow although a bit less slow than the rdr2 as you need to do some farm wark for a lady that saves you.
When this game released nothing could touch it graphically. I still think it looks as good as some newer games and still love playing it just as much as 2.
Bro you’re not the only one, I met some of my best friends on this game online. Grinding pikes basin before school just to get the prestige’s, then Friday comes and you see double xp weekend 😢
@@tivertonguns0341 same here lad. I met some of the coolest people on that game and had friends I use to play with that passed away. And the multiplayer was and is the only thing that reminds me of them. I don’t even like going to fort Mercer because that’s were we’d all meet up. That was 10 years ago now. Man how time flies.
@@irishshamrock6162 I’m sorry for your loss bro, everything back then seemed like such a simpler time, I’d give anything to go back in time and relive those moments, this truly was the only game that was fun to me and still is to this day and I’m praying they bring it back online for this port. Nostalgia isn’t supposed to hurt this bad but it does. I hope you’re doing well in life these days my friend
One of my all time favourite games. I still play multiplayer at least twice or more a week for a session or two. Nothing beats a Hold your Own fight at Tesoro Azul when it's full teams on both sides. Just a damn blast, man. It never gets old and I will play it until I get old and can't anymore. Or the server just ends. That would be tragic.
I am very very excited to buy this game again, I’ve played the two games back in 2010/11 and haven’t played ever since, and I’m literally counting the seconds for it to release.
Also, when RDR1 first released in 2010, it definitely was a state of the art and top notch game at the time. Thats probably why it has aged so well over the years. Because it was Masterpiece since the very beginning. YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAWWWWWW
Its better than nothin. It opens up a new opertunity for new people to play the game, because I was born the year this game was made. So I never teally got to play it.
I don't even care that it wasn't redeveloped for newer consoles, I'm still going to buy it. I was obsessed with it back in the day and can't wait to play it again!
This is a game I grew up on, I’m 24 and have played it over 10 times probably played it first when I was 11, this game to me is the greatest game of all time
The first time I played this game was in 2018. I played it all the way through to the end of the story line, but did not pay much attention to all the subquests, nor the various outfits John Marston was able to acquire. What I didn't know was what different modifications each outfit produced for this character within the game. That said, once I gave the game another play in 2023, I totally paid attention to all the sub-quests, and enjoyed the game immensely more than I did last round. Beyond that, what now stands out is how many one-off scenarios are built into this game, and no matter how many times I start it over from the very beginning, it's a different game each time. Greatest replay value of any video game I've experienced in my 56 years on this planet, and I couldn't recommend one single game more than this one, on any platform.
It was remastered.... in 4k and the random encounters were wildly increased. I have so much fun hunting in this game. I dont know about you but this is a wildly fun and exciting game.
At last...a sensible positive review of a beloved game of millions and hopefully more to come when it is re-released. I commend you on not being influenced by the hatred flowing right now. It should be about the game not Rockstar, which is the path you've taken. The old graphics give it a spaghetti western feel for me, can't wait to get back in the saddle again.
There is no reason to have not made it 60fps on ps5 and impreved the render distance a bit on ps4 ps4 pro and ps5 and improve shadow quality. All that will only improve the look of the game without taking away its distinct style also it has no right being $50 even if it had all the improvements i listed
I'm impressed with the 60 fps. I had no idea before how much of a difference it makes. I have the latest Sony 4k TV & the game looks just as good if not the same as rdr2. Sometimes, I forget that I'm playing rdr1, not rdr2. But that's just my opinion
I just purchased RDR on switch, after toying around with the idea for a while. Honestly, very impressed with the game. I love the storyline, and the way the missions build character relationships. The graphics are great, and gameplay make it worth it as well. I’m hyped to make my way through it, and then play the prequel
I like the first one especially because of nostalgia, being the first game I played where it had side adventures such as hunting, gambling, etc.; it's been a while since I've played either, but as charismatic as Dutch is I feel like with most games that makes a sequel/prequel fail to rise out the shadow of the first game and that's exactly how I would describe the main story; Red Dead 2 would've been a better game if it created its own iconic story; the most redeeming quality about the game is the exploring/hunting that surpasses Red Dead 1 and when I play it again soon you can safely bet that's what I'll be focusing on the most. P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the first game I remember you couldn't travel anywhere on the map at will because you're laying low and lawmen will try to arrest you if you go to the Great Plains or Mexico from the start of the game, whereas in 2 you can go anywhere; I personally enjoyed this restriction back in the day because it made traveling to new areas/unlocking new hunting grounds/items etc. feel like a reward and didn't give you everything, which is something I personally don't like about a lot of new games that make you feel like you're just along for the ride.
@@will2037 Been a while since I posted this, but I believe I was referring to you can't go to Mexico until you unlock the area though story progression and the same goes with the last unlockable place, The Great Plains. Both games were fun, merely like the first one better
I played it in 2010 when I was 17, I had a cigarette in my mouth the entire time lol. It was so far ahead of it's time back then, look at any game made around those same years, it's on par or better in detail and a seemingly living feeling world than fallout and Skyrim (in a way). I knew when I was playing it at 17, there wasn't gonna be a game that beat it for many many years for me. I only have a switch so I have been playing it for the past month and a half, it's fucking great, it runs well enough for me on the switch, no crashes, or crazy glitches, or corrupted saves so far. If you only have a switch like me (financial issues, it's my first console since Xbox 360, I didn't make enough to buy myself a new console at any point, and I'm too stubborn to get a loan), this is a game you must add to it's library. *Chefs Kiss🎉 Edit: Don't smoke cigarettes, I've happily quit with vaping (using juice that I know the ingredients of, and a ceramic coil, so no metal is being heated, so inb4 someone says "they're worse for you than cigarettes!" You're wrong, that's propaganda coming from tobacco companies, they also claim they target children with flavors that don't taste like burnt leaves, it's more like we can pick what it tastes like, so why wouldn't we make every flavor of it, ya know? Idk I just think the war that the cigarette companies have on nicotine vapes is completely ridiculous, I can run 4 times longer now without becoming winded, among other health benefits from switching to vape, and I'm not a cringe cloud chaser, I just have a pod system with the highest level of nicotine, because I love nicotine lol.
Love RDR1, and was so close to 100% on it never finished. I got RDR2 but for some reason it never got my attention I berly got past a few missions in the beginning and never returned. Still have hope they bring RDR1 to PC.
For me the toughest thing was after playing RDR2 for so many hours RDR1 just feels so empty and shallow in comparison. It was obviously a fantastic game at the time and the graphics and gameplay still hold up well, but RDR2 just improves on every single aspect of the game.
Crystal Dynamics and Aspire Remaster THREE games. Tomb Raider 1,2 and 3 from the PS1 and includes ALL Gold bonus content and makes it run at 60fps and only charges 25USD for the ENTIRE Trilogy. Rockstar Games does a BASIC PS3 port and CUTS content (online) adds NOTHING new to it and wants 50USD for a old PS3 game. Anyone else see a problem here LMAO
if rockstar north and san diego made this game back in 2010 it would be GOLD rockstar north with the graphics and the overload of action, environment, ambience, lighting and atmosphere rockstar san diego refining and defining everything down to the last bit and making the world building amazing
I missed out on this game I’m happy they’re bringing it back imma get it for my switch so I can play on the go, I would love for them to bring back GTA 4
Just started playing this game for the first time, so far it’s a great game graphics’s can be overlooked and I’ll agree with you the horses do have a mind of their own sometimes
I remember when this game came out played it for days as a kid i think i was 14 15 maby had also such a great time with friends we only talked about this game we played together in the online mode later the dlc undead nightmare also a awsome dlc im really intrestend to see how well this game will run on the nitendo switch. Its still crazy for me to think you can play this game now on the go without a internet connection. Im also gonna rebuy it on the switch because thats my main console now. I also own a xbox series x but latley i like the more cozy games from nitendo more guess its age 😜
I don’t know why I didn’t enjoy the game properly, I loved Rdr2 but rdr1 and even John didn’t click with me, I feel like i was getting pretty bored with all the random missions that were in the game, I thought I was gonna love this game but it slightly disappointed me, I’ll try to replay it in the future but perhaps my expectation were too high
Yes this worth playing on PS5 especially since they updated to 60 FPS. 0:51 if you say you played on Xbox series X you didn’t play it at 60 fps. 60 fps not on Xbox unless your playing on jailbroken Xbox with modded game.
I just played and finished RDR1 for the first time ever a few days ago. As someone who had never played either 1 or 2 I was really impressed with the game and felt like with better graphics it could be released today and people would still love it like they did and do today. My expectations for RDR2 are immense. What a masterpiece
I played this when it came out in 2010 on a PS3. I enjoyed it and when RDR2 came out I immediately had to get that one as well. Now I have a PS5 and seeing this coming out again for PS4 means that I will be able to enjoy it once again. I'm finishing up on another play-thru of RDR2 right now, but as soon as I finish, I'll be starting this classic again. My only problem with it is that it's being sold for $50! That said, I'll fork over the money for "old-time sake." Had I never played it before, I wouldn't have the fond memories needed to steer me toward spending that kind of money for a 14 year old game.
Long story short, most definitely worth purchasing and playing no matter graphics and whatever. The vibe is incredible. When I first played this game 10+ years ago it gave me the chills. The music playing when you ride off alone into the wild it really made me feel alone and vulnerable, incredible if a videogame can make you feel like that.
I’d love a PC release. Since my introduction to Red Dead Redemption was RDR2 and I don’t have a switch or any other console. So I’d love to try out RDR1.
I loved how you explained how the NPC's feel alive and how yoh said it was so hilarious and perfect. Very good worke mate !! Hahaha im laughing all the way across the pond in Merica
Thanks for this video. Just now getting into the Red Dead games and this confirmed what I'd already suspected. Really looking forward to getting immersed in this game!
I just started playing it after I beat RDR2 a couple times. RDR2 is so much better, but its still good and pretty addictive. Seeing everything they added to the newer 1 is pretty mind blowing in comparison. It will make you appreciate the work put into the new 1.
I think more credit should be given to the sound design of both red dead 1 and 2. It sounds incredible, so detailed and alive and goes a long way in creating the atmosphere and realism of the game world. Also the graphics are stunning, particularly in 2. Red Dead pushed the boundaries when it was released so it’s not surprising that it still holds up today. Great game.
This game was way ahead of its time. Also, GTA 5 is now over 10 years old and still feels good to play through. Rockstar is what blizzard use to be. Aside from Rockstar, Fromsoft is the only developer that can hold a flame to them. More developers/publishers should look at these two companies as a business model. Consumers are just as much to blame though. They give the suits in board meetings ammo by buying games like COD, Madden, NBA 2k, etc. over and over again. I wish the industry was more competitive and always trying to one up the next game. I grew up in the 90’s though, the jumps we saw from Atari to NES to SNES and SAGA to N64 and PlayStation to PS2/XBox/GameCube just aren’t going to happen again. It seems they’re going to be much more subtle.
Bro I couldn’t agree more. RDR2 was good for one play through and that’s it. I wanted to pull my hair out trying to play through it again. The atrocious movement, the tedious looting system, the horse that couldn’t navigate through trees without slamming into one even though you were pulling the stick away from the tree they slammed into. Don’t even get me started on having to press the trigger twice to fire one bullet… like for real, who thought of that? What’s next, having to load each individual bullet? It’s not even consistent as he pumps the shotgun automatically but doesn’t pull back the hammer on the single actions automatically? Overrated game 100%. Even the first person control are a one to one copy paste from GTA V, a game from 2013. It’s the exact same. Awful.
@@Ward413yeah i hear you… its such a love/hate thing with rdr2. Absolutely beautiful outdoor western simulator… but not very fun as a GAME most of the time. Rdr1 was a better GAME. But they are honestly two completely different experiences
Couldn't agree more, rdr2 focused a lot more on realism than the actual gameplay experience, chapter 5 of Guarma was an unexpected surprise but it felt out of place and funnily rushed, and the epilogue just felt slow paced and weirdly broke John's character model to look more like Arthur lol Another is just rdr1 and rdr2 world's, rdr2 has slot of detail but most of the map isnt impacted or used in the story, while rdr1 limits itself to 3 different regions and unlocks everytime you progress through the story, it just gives alot of development for those areas as well as John himself and how he impacts it, new Austin gets less crime ridden, people win the revolution in Mexico and great plains ends up being his downfall because of modern society, it just kinda works well
@@Dct_Alonzeapparently Rockstar is adding more Realism in GTA 6. If I get a star for going over the speed limit or crossing a red light, that would be stupid to be in the game. Also I hope they don’t add a gas limit in the game.
I played and beat this game for the first time this past week. I'm super excited to play RD2 for the first time. Yes I know I'm late but if part 2 is anywhere near as good as part 1 was than it'll be worth the wait
i remember how beautiful this game was back in 2010 when i bought it. I can not wait till they make a new western game worth buying. These are my top games that need to have a part two. GUN RED HARLOW CALL OF JURAEZ RDR3 PREQUALE
Rdr1's main advantage over 2 is the dueling. It actually has skill and you can do it all the time, meanwhile rdr2 its just in specific missions and really has no skill beyond spam R2 button. And rdr1 just has way cooler pre-made outfits.
@@Mr-HostAnd it's about informing people who don't know the game whether it's worth playing. If you make a video like that, you shouldn't go out of your way to ruin it for them
@@nightvision999 no, thats not what the video was about. It was specifically about whether or not it is still worth giving the game a playthough. This would include all the players. Owners of the game or people who havent played it at all..
Im loving this game on ps4. Im probably in the minority, cos I havent played it before as I mostly missed out the ps3/xbox 360 era. With rdr2 being one of my favourite all time games, I was excited for this coming to ps4. I did have some doubts when I found that it wasnt a remaster, but I find it holds up really well compared to a lot of modern games.
I’ve never played it before. I recently got the second one though and it’s without a doubt one of the best games I’ve ever played. I remember when the first game came out, but I never played it at the time. Im really tempted to get it now but I’m not sure if I should.
Im with you on that mate. RDR2 is easily top 5 games i ever played, I've never played the 1st one so I'm scared it wont match up at all or it might just dilute the experience.
I played the game and already finished it! I think it is worth to play in 2023. Graphics , physics and open world truly alive than other modern games in these days . Developers really worked with passion for this game! One disadvantage of the game for me is that John's Death in the end ! If Rockstar have plan for the Remake IF! They should do another alternative way that John could stay alive !
Still playing RDR1. I call these games forever games. I would like to be able to switch weapons more quickly as I learned that trying to hogtie someone who is shooting at you is problematic mainly being dead before you can switch weapons. Cougars are pesky animals that tend to kill you before you can get a proper weapon.
I got it on Switch, and it has the Undead Nightmare DLC. Looks and runs great. Already put 10 hours into it. 30% finished. Ya, it would be nice if it was remastered, but I'm happy to play it again. It's been about 8 years for me. Hooked all over again.
That’s great to see. I did the same pretty much. Ended up getting hooked and completing it and doing all side quests. It does look good on Xbox Series X with the upscaled textures and 50fps.
Played back in 2010, from beginning to end. Played the remaster recently, it's definitely worth it. Hunting is so much easier - and profitable - without weight limit. Overall, making money is much less of a problem than RDR2, and even if still incomparable in graphics and immersion, I think Rockstar nailed it with this remaster, making minor improvements, neither more nore less.

I still remember opening red dead 1 in 2010 brand new. Truly an amazing game so many hours played
Haha! That brings back so many memories. The brand new smell and the texture. It was really ahead of 2010s and certain games today!

I’ve had this same thought for a sequel game with Jack.

WW1 has been going on a few years at this point by the time the US gets involved Jack would be 21. Have him establish connections, introduce allies and villains, etc.

He then becomes a mobster with a gunslingers disposition. Instead of going to Mexico and America. It’s the NY area alongside some European locations.
Give him a wife and a couple kids.
Tell the story of how he lived that life and survived. Have him writing in a journal and becoming a number 1 book seller.
I hope they'll do that when they release rdr3, so all 3 games are updated and playable as one long story 👍
This is my favorite video game of all time. Sure rdr2 is a masterpiece but at the same time there feels like there’s too much realism from upgrading horses to all of the customization having to maintain Arthur, it can get to a point where it’s too much and takes away from the fun.

Totally agree. Perfectly simplistic gameplay and story. For me favorite all time games it’s RDR1 and Fallout 3/NV.
I loved rdr 1. One of my favorite all times. I don't like rdr 2. Probably the most disappointing release ever for me.
0:51 be aware that the Series X does not run RDR1 at 60 FPS. However, due to Xbox Series X‘s great low framerate compensation (LFC) on modern 120Hz TVs, it does feel a lot smoother than the 30 FPS felt on previous systems.
Only way to achieve 60 FPS to my knowledge is via emulation on PC.
There must be something with the Series X version because it does manage to feel like more than 30fps when playing it
120hz 30fps is smooth compared to 50hz 30fps
@@Lil_Valorits locked 30 fps

Rockstar wont put this fucking game on PC for some reason
Red Dead Redemption is a classic. Undead Nightmare was fun too.
Lol I was too scared to play it as a kid but now that I’m grown, im gonna play it
I have a question there are many race misions in red dead redemption becaus i hate yhem??
@@razvan0875Not really not nearly as much as other missions but the beginning is a little slow although a bit less slow than the rdr2 as you need to do some farm wark for a lady that saves you.

@@razvan0875 From what I remember 2 but maybe 3, maybe.
I'll save you the 8 minutes... The answer is yes... Obviously...

rdr will always be worth playing, classic games forever have replay value
When this game released nothing could touch it graphically. I still think it looks as good as some newer games and still love playing it just as much as 2.
100%
Something so peaceful going back to the more arcadey and fast paced gun play
I have a question there are many race misions because i hate them??
I definitely miss the simplicity games had
@@razvan0875I’ve made it about halfway through the story but only two races so far
I recently got this game and finished it on my 360, I loved the story, combat, mechanics it's literally perfect western game like RDR 2
I’m 2013 we called it Wild West gta and had sooo much fun online fucking around
What do you do onlne in rdr1
The thing I’m most bummed about is the lack of multiplayer. I was really looking forward to playing it with my friends like the old days.
Having the zebra as a horse was dope
@@davidstockman1456bro I miss riding the albino buffalo that shit was so fucking dope
Bro you’re not the only one, I met some of my best friends on this game online. Grinding pikes basin before school just to get the prestige’s, then Friday comes and you see double xp weekend 😢
@@tivertonguns0341 same here lad. I met some of the coolest people on that game and had friends I use to play with that passed away. And the multiplayer was and is the only thing that reminds me of them. I don’t even like going to fort Mercer because that’s were we’d all meet up. That was 10 years ago now. Man how time flies.
@@irishshamrock6162 I’m sorry for your loss bro, everything back then seemed like such a simpler time, I’d give anything to go back in time and relive those moments, this truly was the only game that was fun to me and still is to this day and I’m praying they bring it back online for this port. Nostalgia isn’t supposed to hurt this bad but it does. I hope you’re doing well in life these days my friend
One of my all time favourite games. I still play multiplayer at least twice or more a week for a session or two. Nothing beats a Hold your Own fight at Tesoro Azul when it's full teams on both sides. Just a damn blast, man. It never gets old and I will play it until I get old and can't anymore. Or the server just ends. That would be tragic.
I am very very excited to buy this game again, I’ve played the two games back in 2010/11 and haven’t played ever since, and I’m literally counting the seconds for it to release.
Same!
Same here brother
Same! I haven’t played in a long time
Counting at this very moment
@@Thatsme1ogan great I think it releases in a few hours
Also, when RDR1 first released in 2010, it definitely was a state of the art and top notch game at the time. Thats probably why it has aged so well over the years. Because it was Masterpiece since the very beginning. YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAWWWWWW
Its better than nothin. It opens up a new opertunity for new people to play the game, because I was born the year this game was made. So I never teally got to play it.
I don't even care that it wasn't redeveloped for newer consoles, I'm still going to buy it. I was obsessed with it back in the day and can't wait to play it again!
Lmao same thought I had, I bought it. Rockstar can have my money as long as they use it to make a new red dead soon.
We gonna have online?
Loved this game back in the day! The multiplayer was everything

Thanks for the warning
Thanks for the warning!
Cope
This is a game I grew up on, I’m 24 and have played it over 10 times probably played it first when I was 11, this game to me is the greatest game of all time
How is it possible that the title of the video is RDR 1 Worth playing in 2023 and then throw a massive spoiler at 6:21 ...wtf dude
I love it! Sure it was $50 but once you get over that it’s an amazing game that brings me back to when I was 17 and I forgot how good it was
The first time I played this game was in 2018. I played it all the way through to the end of the story line, but did not pay much attention to all the subquests, nor the various outfits John Marston was able to acquire. What I didn't know was what different modifications each outfit produced for this character within the game. That said, once I gave the game another play in 2023, I totally paid attention to all the sub-quests, and enjoyed the game immensely more than I did last round. Beyond that, what now stands out is how many one-off scenarios are built into this game, and no matter how many times I start it over from the very beginning, it's a different game each time. Greatest replay value of any video game I've experienced in my 56 years on this planet, and I couldn't recommend one single game more than this one, on any platform.
I prefer rd1 multiplayer then red dead online so fresh
Same here
@@mehmetozguraydin8987 that’s why uninstalled it
Is the online in red dead 1 still active?
@@ryanfork8247yea I think so
This will be my first time playing ever because I grew up poor lol. I got it for the switch and this video single handedly convinced me thanks!
It was remastered.... in 4k and the random encounters were wildly increased. I have so much fun hunting in this game. I dont know about you but this is a wildly fun and exciting game.
At last...a sensible positive review of a beloved game of millions and hopefully more to come when it is re-released. I commend you on not being influenced by the hatred flowing right now. It should be about the game not Rockstar, which is the path you've taken.
The old graphics give it a spaghetti western feel for me, can't wait to get back in the saddle again.
Thanks man! This was just my honest view without all the BS. Really enjoyed making it
There is no reason to have not made it 60fps on ps5 and impreved the render distance a bit on ps4 ps4 pro and ps5 and improve shadow quality. All that will only improve the look of the game without taking away its distinct style also it has no right being $50 even if it had all the improvements i listed
I'm impressed with the 60 fps. I had no idea before how much of a difference it makes. I have the latest Sony 4k TV & the game looks just as good if not the same as rdr2. Sometimes, I forget that I'm playing rdr1, not rdr2. But that's just my opinion
I just purchased RDR on switch, after toying around with the idea for a while. Honestly, very impressed with the game. I love the storyline, and the way the missions build character relationships. The graphics are great, and gameplay make it worth it as well. I’m hyped to make my way through it, and then play the prequel
It’s just super short.
I like the first one especially because of nostalgia, being the first game I played where it had side adventures such as hunting, gambling, etc.; it's been a while since I've played either, but as charismatic as Dutch is I feel like with most games that makes a sequel/prequel fail to rise out the shadow of the first game and that's exactly how I would describe the main story; Red Dead 2 would've been a better game if it created its own iconic story; the most redeeming quality about the game is the exploring/hunting that surpasses Red Dead 1 and when I play it again soon you can safely bet that's what I'll be focusing on the most.
P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the first game I remember you couldn't travel anywhere on the map at will because you're laying low and lawmen will try to arrest you if you go to the Great Plains or Mexico from the start of the game, whereas in 2 you can go anywhere; I personally enjoyed this restriction back in the day because it made traveling to new areas/unlocking new hunting grounds/items etc. feel like a reward and didn't give you everything, which is something I personally don't like about a lot of new games that make you feel like you're just along for the ride.
bro in rdr1 you could literally set a waypoint and fast travel wherever you wanted
@@will2037 Been a while since I posted this, but I believe I was referring to you can't go to Mexico until you unlock the area though story progression and the same goes with the last unlockable place, The Great Plains. Both games were fun, merely like the first one better
I played it in 2010 when I was 17, I had a cigarette in my mouth the entire time lol. It was so far ahead of it's time back then, look at any game made around those same years, it's on par or better in detail and a seemingly living feeling world than fallout and Skyrim (in a way). I knew when I was playing it at 17, there wasn't gonna be a game that beat it for many many years for me. I only have a switch so I have been playing it for the past month and a half, it's fucking great, it runs well enough for me on the switch, no crashes, or crazy glitches, or corrupted saves so far. If you only have a switch like me (financial issues, it's my first console since Xbox 360, I didn't make enough to buy myself a new console at any point, and I'm too stubborn to get a loan), this is a game you must add to it's library. *Chefs Kiss🎉
Edit: Don't smoke cigarettes, I've happily quit with vaping (using juice that I know the ingredients of, and a ceramic coil, so no metal is being heated, so inb4 someone says "they're worse for you than cigarettes!" You're wrong, that's propaganda coming from tobacco companies, they also claim they target children with flavors that don't taste like burnt leaves, it's more like we can pick what it tastes like, so why wouldn't we make every flavor of it, ya know? Idk I just think the war that the cigarette companies have on nicotine vapes is completely ridiculous, I can run 4 times longer now without becoming winded, among other health benefits from switching to vape, and I'm not a cringe cloud chaser, I just have a pod system with the highest level of nicotine, because I love nicotine lol.
Love RDR1, and was so close to 100% on it never finished. I got RDR2 but for some reason it never got my attention I berly got past a few missions in the beginning and never returned. Still have hope they bring RDR1 to PC.
For me the toughest thing was after playing RDR2 for so many hours RDR1 just feels so empty and shallow in comparison. It was obviously a fantastic game at the time and the graphics and gameplay still hold up well, but RDR2 just improves on every single aspect of the game.
I agree to disagree, but that’s just my opinion of course
Except for the story. Rdr2s story is weak compared to rdr1
Crystal Dynamics and Aspire Remaster THREE games. Tomb Raider 1,2 and 3 from the PS1 and includes ALL Gold bonus content and makes it run at 60fps and only charges 25USD for the ENTIRE Trilogy.
Rockstar Games does a BASIC PS3 port and CUTS content (online) adds NOTHING new to it and wants 50USD for a old PS3 game.
Anyone else see a problem here LMAO
if rockstar north and san diego made this game back in 2010 it would be GOLD
rockstar north with the graphics and the overload of action, environment, ambience, lighting and atmosphere
rockstar san diego refining and defining everything down to the last bit and making the world building amazing
I missed out on this game I’m happy they’re bringing it back imma get it for my switch so I can play on the go, I would love for them to bring back GTA 4
Oh god, the horse carriage race at 3:09 brings back ragey memories hahah.
I love this game and will be picking it up.
I uave a question there are many horse races because i hate them
@@razvan0875 get good bitch
me remebering the amazing nostalgia playing rdr1 after 13 years such great memories D:
Just started playing this game for the first time, so far it’s a great game graphics’s can be overlooked and I’ll agree with you the horses do have a mind of their own sometimes
Fun fact: if you get GTA +, you can get GTA liberty city, vice city, and San Andreas, along with red dead 1 and L.A Noir for absolutely free
I feel so lucky now because my birthday is the next day and no one wanted to celebrate my birthday with me so I can just play this all day :)
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wish we had Undead Nightmare for RDR2.
Same man!
Besides this game, The Batman Arkham Series, God of War and Uncharted are in my opinion, some of the best games of all time
Red dead 1 was / is the best game ever .
I saw a dog piss on a drunk in Thieves landing.
I remember when this game came out played it for days as a kid i think i was 14 15 maby had also such a great time with friends we only talked about this game we played together in the online mode later the dlc undead nightmare also a awsome dlc im really intrestend to see how well this game will run on the nitendo switch. Its still crazy for me to think you can play this game now on the go without a internet connection. Im also gonna rebuy it on the switch because thats my main console now. I also own a xbox series x but latley i like the more cozy games from nitendo more guess its age 😜
I don’t know why I didn’t enjoy the game properly, I loved Rdr2 but rdr1 and even John didn’t click with me, I feel like i was getting pretty bored with all the random missions that were in the game, I thought I was gonna love this game but it slightly disappointed me, I’ll try to replay it in the future but perhaps my expectation were too high
Yes this worth playing on PS5 especially since they updated to 60 FPS. 0:51 if you say you played on Xbox series X you didn’t play it at 60 fps. 60 fps not on Xbox unless your playing on jailbroken Xbox with modded game.
When I got to the south part of the border I felt like a real Cowboy on a mission. On top of that The mariachi Jazz was a Chef's Kiss.
Hey I have Red Dead Redemption 1 in 2024 and it is very Awesome
Great feedback. Looks awesome. Definitely worth possibly buying for the Switch. Never played any of the Dead Red Redemption games.
I just played and finished RDR1 for the first time ever a few days ago. As someone who had never played either 1 or 2 I was really impressed with the game and felt like with better graphics it could be released today and people would still love it like they did and do today. My expectations for RDR2 are immense. What a masterpiece
I played this when it came out in 2010 on a PS3. I enjoyed it and when RDR2 came out I immediately had to get that one as well. Now I have a PS5 and seeing this coming out again for PS4 means that I will be able to enjoy it once again. I'm finishing up on another play-thru of RDR2 right now, but as soon as I finish, I'll be starting this classic again. My only problem with it is that it's being sold for $50! That said, I'll fork over the money for "old-time sake." Had I never played it before, I wouldn't have the fond memories needed to steer me toward spending that kind of money for a 14 year old game.
This game was unreal!
There are many race mision because i hate them

@@L321 Np
RD1 looks better than most games now lol, in some ways it looks better than RD2
Long story short, most definitely worth purchasing and playing no matter graphics and whatever. The vibe is incredible. When I first played this game 10+ years ago it gave me the chills. The music playing when you ride off alone into the wild it really made me feel alone and vulnerable, incredible if a videogame can make you feel like that.
I’d love a PC release. Since my introduction to Red Dead Redemption was RDR2 and I don’t have a switch or any other console. So I’d love to try out RDR1.
Just started playing this game on PC for the first time today. I've been looking forward to it since RDR2.
I loved how you explained how the NPC's feel alive and how yoh said it was so hilarious and perfect. Very good worke mate !! Hahaha im laughing all the way across the pond in Merica
Thanks for this video. Just now getting into the Red Dead games and this confirmed what I'd already suspected. Really looking forward to getting immersed in this game!
To answer your question in short, absolutely.
It’s a timeless classic. 🤠
*Like the video if you played RDR1 back in the day!*
You should do a rdr1 mod vid.
It's 30fps on xbox
Red dead redemption on series x is 4K 30 not 60
Don't you like the video of you liked the video?
You should do mafia def
My biggest issue has been horse riding as well. Playing it at 60 FPS on PS5 it looks awesome. Having a blast again like I did back in the day on PS3.
I just started playing it after I beat RDR2 a couple times. RDR2 is so much better, but its still good and pretty addictive. Seeing everything they added to the newer 1 is pretty mind blowing in comparison. It will make you appreciate the work put into the new 1.
I think more credit should be given to the sound design of both red dead 1 and 2. It sounds incredible, so detailed and alive and goes a long way in creating the atmosphere and realism of the game world. Also the graphics are stunning, particularly in 2.
Red Dead pushed the boundaries when it was released so it’s not surprising that it still holds up today. Great game.
This game was way ahead of its time. Also, GTA 5 is now over 10 years old and still feels good to play through. Rockstar is what blizzard use to be. Aside from Rockstar, Fromsoft is the only developer that can hold a flame to them. More developers/publishers should look at these two companies as a business model. Consumers are just as much to blame though. They give the suits in board meetings ammo by buying games like COD, Madden, NBA 2k, etc. over and over again. I wish the industry was more competitive and always trying to one up the next game. I grew up in the 90’s though, the jumps we saw from Atari to NES to SNES and SAGA to N64 and PlayStation to PS2/XBox/GameCube just aren’t going to happen again. It seems they’re going to be much more subtle.
Xbox series x does not play this game in 60 fps. This is a major point for a lot of people, so I would appreciate if you could correct that
I actually have this game on switch. Despite being used to a gaming PC, if you play on a monitor, the switch port isnt too bad
just ordered a physical copy off eBay, I didn't play the original. Recently played RDR2 and it was amazing, hopefully this is great too :D
Unpopular opinion I prefer rdr1 over rdr2 I found the story and realism in 2 boring
Bro I couldn’t agree more. RDR2 was good for one play through and that’s it. I wanted to pull my hair out trying to play through it again. The atrocious movement, the tedious looting system, the horse that couldn’t navigate through trees without slamming into one even though you were pulling the stick away from the tree they slammed into. Don’t even get me started on having to press the trigger twice to fire one bullet… like for real, who thought of that? What’s next, having to load each individual bullet? It’s not even consistent as he pumps the shotgun automatically but doesn’t pull back the hammer on the single actions automatically? Overrated game 100%. Even the first person control are a one to one copy paste from GTA V, a game from 2013. It’s the exact same. Awful.
@@Ward413yeah i hear you… its such a love/hate thing with rdr2. Absolutely beautiful outdoor western simulator… but not very fun as a GAME most of the time. Rdr1 was a better GAME. But they are honestly two completely different experiences
Couldn't agree more, rdr2 focused a lot more on realism than the actual gameplay experience, chapter 5 of Guarma was an unexpected surprise but it felt out of place and funnily rushed, and the epilogue just felt slow paced and weirdly broke John's character model to look more like Arthur lol
Another is just rdr1 and rdr2 world's, rdr2 has slot of detail but most of the map isnt impacted or used in the story, while rdr1 limits itself to 3 different regions and unlocks everytime you progress through the story, it just gives alot of development for those areas as well as John himself and how he impacts it, new Austin gets less crime ridden, people win the revolution in Mexico and great plains ends up being his downfall because of modern society, it just kinda works well
Rdr1 is the best red dead
@@Dct_Alonzeapparently Rockstar is adding more Realism in GTA 6.
If I get a star for going over the speed limit or crossing a red light, that would be stupid to be in the game. Also I hope they don’t add a gas limit in the game.
Great review bro please make more of these
Oh yes it is. Got it on sale, now replaying it after so many years. I still have my OG disk on PS3. Unfortunately, my PS3’s already dead.
I played and beat this game for the first time this past week.
I'm super excited to play RD2 for the first time.
Yes I know I'm late but if part 2 is anywhere near as good as part 1 was than it'll be worth the wait
Part 2 is the best story game we will ever see
little did you know when writing this what a masterpiece rdr2 is

Rdr1's main advantage over 2 is the dueling. It actually has skill and you can do it all the time, meanwhile rdr2 its just in specific missions and really has no skill beyond spam R2 button. And rdr1 just has way cooler pre-made outfits.
Its not the age of the game its the graphics what put me off, they need to remaster it not just upgrade the resolution.
Maybe give a spoiler wArning before you just tell us how it ends
Its a 14 year old game what are you on about
@@Mr-HostAnd it's about informing people who don't know the game whether it's worth playing. If you make a video like that, you shouldn't go out of your way to ruin it for them
@@nightvision999 no, thats not what the video was about. It was specifically about whether or not it is still worth giving the game a playthough. This would include all the players. Owners of the game or people who havent played it at all..
Im loving this game on ps4. Im probably in the minority, cos I havent played it before as I mostly missed out the ps3/xbox 360 era. With rdr2 being one of my favourite all time games, I was excited for this coming to ps4. I did have some doubts when I found that it wasnt a remaster, but I find it holds up really well compared to a lot of modern games.
I’ve never played it before. I recently got the second one though and it’s without a doubt one of the best games I’ve ever played. I remember when the first game came out, but I never played it at the time. Im really tempted to get it now but I’m not sure if I should.
Im with you on that mate. RDR2 is easily top 5 games i ever played, I've never played the 1st one so I'm scared it wont match up at all or it might just dilute the experience.
Yeah it would’ve been better if you played rdr1 first and then the second one, the first game feels way more small in comparison to the sequel
why would you spoil the ending of the game without any warning? damn that sucks
he is just so stupid.
I genually don't care about GTA 6, I don't think I'll even buy it.
I'm only into Red Dead Franchise.
I like the online better than rdr2 undead overrun is so damn fun
I played the game and already finished it! I think it is worth to play in 2023. Graphics , physics and open world truly alive than other modern games in these days . Developers really worked with passion for this game! One disadvantage of the game for me is that John's Death in the end ! If Rockstar have plan for the Remake IF! They should do another alternative way that John could stay alive !
Nah the story is the story
That ending is what gives it that impact
Red dead 1 is so og bro
Still playing RDR1. I call these games forever games. I would like to be able to switch weapons more quickly as I learned that trying to hogtie someone who is shooting at you is problematic mainly being dead before you can switch weapons. Cougars are pesky animals that tend to kill you before you can get a proper weapon.
I got it on Switch, and it has the Undead Nightmare DLC.
Looks and runs great.
Already put 10 hours into it. 30% finished.
Ya, it would be nice if it was remastered, but I'm happy to play it again.
It's been about 8 years for me. Hooked all over again.
That’s great to see. I did the same pretty much. Ended up getting hooked and completing it and doing all side quests. It does look good on Xbox Series X with the upscaled textures and 50fps.
@@L321 - Even looks great on Switch upscaled to 1080p. Surprisingly crisp
Played back in 2010, from beginning to end. Played the remaster recently, it's definitely worth it. Hunting is so much easier - and profitable - without weight limit. Overall, making money is much less of a problem than RDR2, and even if still incomparable in graphics and immersion, I think Rockstar nailed it with this remaster, making minor improvements, neither more nore less.
