Here's our performance and technical breakdown of Rockstar GamesRed Dead Redemption on Nintendo Switch.

00:00 - Start
01:09 - Comparing to the OG release
02:09 - Framerate analysis
02:54 - Still a stunner
04:46 - Handheld
04:57 - Sound Quality
05:30 - The elephant in the room
06:17 - My only real issue

- 30fps at 1080P while docked
- 30fps at 720P in portable mode (battery lasts around 4h on the OLED model)
- "Red Dead more than holds its own on Switch. Not looking too bad at all for something that's over a decade old. It's not bad but there's a few jaggy edges"
- Texture quality surprisingly good but no improved textures
- Lighting is impressive due to the illumination techniques
- Has a full day night sequel, weather system but the physics and animations are shockingly good
- Vegetation, foliage look dated but reflective surfaces redeem this
- Handheld is great due to the shrinking down on the screen (looks great on OLED Switch)
- Sounds are as good as you remember
- There's no Gyro support
- It has HD Rumble support
- Doesn't have multiplayer

So this was the OG RDR this whole time? I was thinking it was RDR2. *smh*

Yeah, this whole shitshow was about the OG RDR lol and it doesn't even come with the multiplayer part of the game. Still nothing concrete about RDR2 getting a remaster for PS5/XBS or at least a 60fps patch...

This use FSR 2.0 as well? Or no AA like others NS games?

It's very dissapointing. I was thinking they would rebuild the first game as an expansion for RDR2 considering they had like 90% of the map built and nothing to do in it.

 

[Ceadeus]

full price no online deal breaker

No AA being used according to SwitchUp.

Took long enough, but portable RDR is finally here!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

To be honest, I'm fine with the Switch port (it runs and it looks good) if at least it was priced accordingly -- €30 in my opinion would have been the perfect price. Even so, I'll probably grab the physical version once it gets around €20-€25.

Well, thats a shame. FSR 2.0 make a huge boost on base PS4.

IDK if Switch do support FSR 2.0, but they have been using FSR 1.0 with a mix bag results.

Yeah, I saw the DF video as well. FSR 2 looks great on the Pro and PS5, way better than that shitty FXAA. I'm not even sure why they even added the option in there lol.

I wonder how well this could run in yuzu with mods.

Does that mean the Switch is overclocked?

Steam Deck users running Yuzu rejoice!

"Global illumination system" ??

Hell is he talking about. Dude sounds technically clueless.

RDR2 was the first Rockstar game that introduced GI in semi realtime fashion. RDR1 is based on shadow maps and deferred rendering for more dynamic lights and point-shadows in one frame. That alone was ahead of it's time in 2010 (when it came to consoles releases anyway)

Anyway you want it, that's the way you need it.

Lmao. What a trash company they've become.

Portable RDR goord port

Means the system has been hacked to exceed the factory clocks , the v1 switch only runs at 80% gpu speed and 60%cpu speed docked and the v2 and oled only run at about 60% of the max gpu speed,

The bold is TERRIBLE. Wow!

The bold is TERRIBLE. Wow!

Nintendo could make some vocal fans very happy with an at your own risk unlock , but that's unfortunately how they roll, especially since the .5tf hacks seems to have no negative effects in docked mode

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Couldn't find a better thread so this should do.

I think my phone could run it better than this
