So I was curious about how red dead redemption would run on my hacked switch, because you can unlock the framerate and also overclock the console. So yeah... I tested it.




This is on portable mode with the gpu at 690mhz and the cpu at 1428mhz and it runs at stable 60 fps with some framedrops at mid 50 in armadillo. Also the game runs great, without any noticiable bug on videos or gameplay (THB I only play for about 10 minutes). This raises the question... Why is not this game 60 fps on ps4? let alone ps4 pro or ps5...

UPDATE: after a couple of hours of gameplay and a handful of completed missions, the game hasn't given me any bugs and everything works perfectly. Which makes rockstar even more questionable.

And the fuckers lock it to 30 and forgo the PC and next gen versions to boot. Take2, go fuck yourself.

Unless you are working on proper remake.

In which case, go fuck yourself even harder for not announcing it and instead fleecing people out of 50 bucks for 13 year old game.

 

[mitch1971]

Just give the customer the bare minimum experience. That's how companies like to do it these days.

 

[violence]

At what cost? I’m sure there’s bugs.

 

[Kilau]

Why

 

[skit_data]

Does anything else get affected? Some have speculated other parts of the games systems are tied to the framerate and start behaving wierd or breaking

I'm going to play it like this for testing, but the xbox version emulated on pc runs at 60 fps without problems (or at least with not game-breaking problems). So I don't see why this would be different.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Trash company now.

 

[M.W.]

And GTA6 will be 30fps too

Afaik, running it at high framerates in Xenia doesn't do anything gamebreaking?

 

[AtomicStarving]

Take Two just... forget it ... Zelnick sucks duchbag

 

[mrcroket]

I have complete a few missions and the game works great, the shooting part is waay more enjoyable at 60fps because it feels more responsive.

It's a shame that it can't be enjoyed like this on modern consoles at 4k. Maybe if they get enough noise they deign to make a F patch to have 60 fps.... heck they could even make it 120...

 

[KuraiShidosha]

People will pay $50 for this lol you get what you deserve.

Is there a 100 dollar version I could pre order? Gotta help struggling indy devs out

 

[GigaBowser]

have launch Switch but the screen is not goord and has damaged pixels because it fells in beer

Getting on OLED

 

[Deerock71]

They're just waiting to jack up the price when it'll be 1080p/60 handheld and DLSS 4K/60 docked on the Switch 2. R*'s maneuvering to not be left behind on Nintendo's next console.

Wow. Unacceptable.

My man I think you may have fells in some beers lol.

 

[Melon Husk]

Oh, so they can rerelease a 60fps port for Switch 2 in like a year, makes perfect sense. Sell the same port twice.

 

[GigaBowser]

My man I think you may have fells in some beers lol.

 

[LordCBH]

Christ on a cracker the PS4 release is lazy dogshit then.

 

[Filben]

My man I think you may have fells in some beers lol.

this made me literally burst out laughing

Ofc they working on proper remake, its classic ff7 situation, remember we got ff7(non remake) annoucment/trailer and not long after proper remake too

 

[Sleepwalker]

Time to dig out my hacked switch then and test this.

 

[Dr.D00p]

They'll launch a 60fps Redux version at some point for $100.

Double the framerate? Double the price

That's how these corporate gaming cunts think in 2023.

 

[IC3M@N FX]

I don't know why Rockstar has not added 60 fps mode for PS4/Pro & PS5.
50 bucks for a Game without see able improvements that's ridiculous and arrogant.
Whoever buys this for 50 Bucks supports companies that don't give a shit about customers and are only out to maximize profits with as little effort as possible.

 

[Robb]

Not surprised it runs flawlessly at 60fps. It’s a PS3/360 game that has barely been upgraded.

Should’ve been 60fps on Switch and it should’ve been 60fps baseline on Ps4/Ps4 Pro with the option to go even higher.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

This is amazing and also sad that they cannot do a tiny little bit of work to give millions a SIGNIFICANTLY better experience!

Rockstar doesn't want it to run better than the backwards compatible Xbox version.

As much as I consider it lazy that they didn't aim for a 60fps mode These aren't standard clocks. They couldn't have offered these framerates with standard, especially undocked, clocks on a standard non-hacked switch.

Ok, fair enough, forget about the Switch. The PS4 launch could have easily utilized the more powerful GPU/CPU to unlock the framerate, but no, they'll nickel and dime it down the line

Can you not buy this on steam then to work on a steam deck? I think I will bite when Steam Deck Gen 2 or more than likely a Switch 2 when it is announced to get myself back in the handheld game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Maybe it's a parity thing. To avoid debates and stuff.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

ANY game can run 60FPS on OC'ed Switch with higher resolution. No exceptions.

 

[Fbh]

Rockstar doesn't want it to run better than the backwards compatible Xbox version.

Why not? What's the benefit of not having the new $50 release run better than the cheaper backwards compatible version?

 

[VulcanRaven]

Giving the same experience to everyone is the easiest route. They didn't think Xbox players would buy this for 50 dollars and they don't want to update the old one.

 

[mrcroket]

But that is not the point but the performance on ps4 and the more powerful consoles. Even with overclock the ps4 is much more powerful than the switch, so there is no reason to have a 30 fps cap, especially when it doesn't require any extra effort for the developers, moreover costing $50.

Ah, I see. Probably game is not meant to be 60fps or animations looks weirder in 60. Or just lazy, greedy port

 

[Sushi_Combo]

I have no confidence in them anymore. Don't even care about GTA6.

 

[mrcroket]

I've been playing the game for several hours and I haven't found any bugs or odd things at 60fps.

 

[TitanNut88]

The problem is that people will still buy the game. Not buying it would be the correct message to them…

 

[RoboCain]

Because they'll release a Next-Gen version later. Is not a coincidence that it didn't hit PC.

Buy a Switch copy or X360 disc and play your backup on your emulator of choice!

MVG has upload a video about this.

[Destruction-1002]

Folks must been ignorant to think 60fps as a standard is something new

The PS2 from 2000 ran games at 60fps as standard like Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil Man Cry 3, Burnout.

While GTAs, Metal Gear Solid 3, Red Factions ran poorly but those were exceptions
