Red Dead Redemption |BC OT| Backwards in the Saddle Again

Okay, I figured it out. I have the Walton Gang Outfit, but when I wear it I turn invisible in the digital version of RDR that I bought from the Xbox Marketplace.

If I insert my disc for RDR GOTY Edition, it downloads a completely different executable and everything works fine.

Since the GOTY version isn't available digitally, I'll have to put in the disc if I want ALL the content.
 
Just started this and can't believe how well it runs. When they first announced backwards compatibility I always imagined that it would be the same glitchy kind we got with the original Xbox on 360, not that it would be almost as good or in some cases maybe even better than the original version.

Visually it holds up better than it has any right to, but the controls are a little clunky, especially on horseback. Not enough to ruin the fun though.

the game looks damn good but the Xbox one does something to the screenshots to make it look even better haha

Outside of changing the RGB range to full I don't think it actually does anything. It might add v-sync like the PS4 does but RDR has v-sync in BC anyways.

Sorry, I can't help it. Are you enjoying the game now or is input lag still bothering you? I can't really pick up on any, but I guess I'm not sensitive to it. I've heard it's heavy in GTAV as well, but can't really detect that either.

I think I've accepted that 360 games had big dead zones that I don't remember + Red Dead has some clunky aiming controls.

I am enjoying the game. First BC game I might actually play to completion
 
I'll probably grab this before the sale ends, and wait for Undead Nightmare sale.

I don't know how or why some people said Undead was free for them.

Glad to hear it. I love this game, but I'm being reminded of how annoying/slow it is to skin animals and loot bodies. It could definitely go a little quicker. Definitely not a big deal, but the little cutscenes seem so unnecessary.

you're emulating a 6 year old 360 game

seriously though the loading seems pretty good to me. I've only played single player though

I'm talking about the multiplayer.

I'm trying to do co op right now and it's been 4 minutes and still nothing. Free roam took 3 minutes then worked.
 
Would love to replay this. One of my favorite games ever. Tempted to toss the disc in.


However, going to hold out against hope for a remaster.


If they did this up the way they did GTAV, it would sell like gangbusters and be absolutely amazing. This game deserves a remaster more than most.

Sry but there wont be a remaster. Just play the BC version and enjoy it again.

They did this for GTA5 because it basicly launched 2 months before the new Consoles came out. It made sense to have a port for them later on.

Red Dead now is very old. And way much more work to remaster it etc. I rather see a new Red Dead game now, build for current Consoles than just another remaster
 
Anyone else having trouble buying the game?

I've been trying for the last 30 minutes and it says "your purchase cannot be completed at this time, please try again later".

I have money on my account, I'm using prepaid cards, but it won't let me buy it. What in the actual fuck is going on?

It's great to take a look at the stats of an old save. Playtime is on par with The Witcher 3.

This game is something special for me. I nearly died a couple of days before it released and when I spent my time at the hospital afterwards all I wanted was to get home and play this.

After loading up this old save all the feelings burst out that I associated with it back then. Fuck.

Remasters and making new games have nothing to do with one another.


A remaster of Red Dead wouldn't mean we wouldn't get a new one. In fact, it would more than likely be used to promote a sequel.


There are those who didn't play it, or would like to play it on a PlayStation platform, or PC.


Also, the point of Remasters aside from getting new fans is pleasing old fans.

Just as new generations watch Jurrassic Park or Jaws on Bluray, fans that saw those movies in theaters get to experience them at the best quality.


That's the whole point of the concept of remastering, which existed Long before this generation of games.
 
Can somebody tell me if I missed something?
I have the GOTY edition. First I installed the Single Player disc (size 7.x Gb), then I wanted to install the second disc (size 7.x Gb) but then the xbox wanted to install something which was 14 Gb big (unfortunatley I wasnt able to see what it was because I was already pressing B to go back from the store..)

Was 14Gb sized file the complete game?

A Remaster costs money and man hours to produce, And from the infos around the net, RDR is a mess code wise.

Playstation people can play it on PS3? Blame Sony for not having BC.

The point of remasters is milking more money, not to please fans.

You really cant compare movies with games.

So yeah a remaster wont happen.
 
As far as free roam goes, multiplayer is fine. Remember to go into a private session and then switch over to public. Some really active lobbies tonight. Getting into competitive modes, co-op missions, DLC missions = a lot of endless loading screens.

Also, Twin Rocks XP glitch still works. I mean, theoretically you can hit 50 in a couple of hours hitting left on your d-pad to replay.
 
I want to play this game so bad but neither have an Xbox nor PS.
I'm at the edge of buying an Xbox one just for this game although I'm not really interested in the other ms exclusive titles. Much rather had a ps4 :/. Also why buy an Xbox one now when there is a better one around the corner (one s) or even a possible rdr remaster.
The struggle is real!! :(

Gaf, tell me what to do.

It's pretty safe to bet that there won't be a RDR remaster.

Xbox killer app =)
 
Sorry if it's been answered already in the thread, but does anyone know if there's a way to disable gold weapons? I'm assuming they came with one of the DLCs, but I bought all these half a decade ago and can't remember how to get rid of them.
