Can we please stop with this "low frame-rates make it more cinematic" BS? It's to the point of sounding just as dumb as the "we only use 10% of our brains" crap people like to quote all the time.
Lower frame-rates in games are objectively worse. That is a fact.
I'm not going to get into the technical details and reasons why a game is not a film and they shouldn't be compared in this context, or why a film is perfectly fine at 24 FPS and a game is not as it has been explained 1000 times over in many different places.
Subjectively, you may not personally be bothered by it and that is perfectly fine. If it does not bother you, then that's great and I'm glad you were able to enjoy the game on the PS4 Pro.
Games are not films.
I'd like to run it at 4K (it's so crispy), but yeah some 'ultra' settings aren't a huge leap over very high so I'll have to check each one.
I really really want that 4k Predator so badly lol. Just can't find the cash for it lol. Can't wait for you to post impressions on how this game looks on it.
This game is mind blowing on the X already, I cannot wait for the PC version. Those soft shadows without dithering look amazing. And the best draw distances in a game just got better from what I can tell.
You can actually play it however you want and I wouldn't follow some "Best of" recommendation IMO.
When I Said "slog through the first 2-3 hours," A lot of the early parts of the game are tight and controlled. The early missions are slow, the region you're in is a claustrophobic region, and you're not "Doing cool shit" in those first couple hours. Coupled with the tanky controls and unresponsiveness on consoles, I think it set a bad taste in people's mouths who aren't really totally into the Rockstar games recipe, so they'd give up on it. Make no doubt, you can go and explore right after the first mission, but the game really discourages you from doing that mostly in how the world is designed and where they first drop you. In some ways it's kinda too bad that the game puts you in this extended tutorial at the beginning and you want to say, like "Can't rockstar design a better start to their games??" but honestly, the first area, how oppressive it is, and the general theme of that experience sets the stage for the rest of the game and I think think once you play through the game you can kinda appreciate that more.
A lot of people have decided if you want to do a lot of the ambient side-stuff the best time to do that is ~Chapter 3, but honestly, I think there's something special to discovering each region along with the story when it brings you there. While there's perks to doing the exploration, hunting, collecting, trading, etc., you can also play through the game without doing any of that stuff and it's it might be nominally "easier" or give you mroe abilities if you have specific perks or something, but you don't need them to complete missions in a satisfactory way.
Overall, though, I think there's a lot of guides/tips of "This is the best way to play Red Dead Redemption!!" and I think you should ignore or throw out all of them, and "just play it." In open world games there's that anxiety about " I don't want to miss something! I want to be a competionists!" or "I want to level up by guy with the best abilities before Mission X so I'm prepared!" but honestly, I think it's best to just wing it and do what you want, don't play to a guide. If you want to be a completionists and 100% the game, then sure that's probably the only way to do that efectively, but honestly, I think if you're focused on that percentage counter it ends up kinda spoiling the point of the game.
It is pretty much the same as GTAV accomplished last gen. Polished up it look very respectable on PS4. However I reckon geometric detail on terrain / topography can be increased quite substantially. Death Stranding already has better terrain geometry. A lot of the geology in RDR2 still comes across as fairly blocky, particularly cliffs. However, I think the density of stuff on top of the terrain, trees, etc. helps mitigate this. the LoD is a massive achievement in this game, and great LoD seems to be more and more common in open world games now, which is aweosme.
Tutorials basically go all the way through the end of Chapter 2. I'd bulldoze through all of that as quickly as possible
That's not too bad. Anthem recommended 12GB.
Heck Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order recommends 16GB now.
The game opens up at Chapter 2, and I'd say that's where it's at its best, but you only really start getting money midway through Chapter 3, so you might be a bit limited in what you can do/buy.
I defintely wouldn't rush Chapter 2 to get to Chapter 3 though.
First one I'm gonna grab is the input latency fix like they did with GTA V PC.
4K + 60 fps + k/m aiming + 0 input lag is gonna be glorious.
Yes. I played last night on ps4 pro and it seems to be a big difference in single player. I didn't check the online part.
Thats usually down to YT's compression, but it looked fine 4k60fps to me
Something i'm really wondering about is the mouse controls. Like take the way you can pull out the revolver by gradually pushing down the right trigger slowly. How are they going to emulate that on pc? Otherwise i'm also super hyped about it. RDR2 gunplay but actually playable free aim? hell yeah
It practically prints money for them. It would be idiotic to skip a next gen version.
My favorite gaming experience of this year is going to be my favorite gaming experience of last year.
This is going to be new new benchmark, the same way GTA V has been a constant benchmark for hardware reviewers. I plan to play it at 1080p 144hz this fall, but I will re-visit it when I finally get a 4k monitor in a year or two.
Still won't beat Metro Exodus without RTX, still an insane achievement tho
Won't double dip due to how stupid the story and the AI is, that being said enjoy first timers on PC, the game world in this is something else. Most satisfying one to explore since Skyrim, easily

I played the xbox one x version over the summer. What a mistake. My PC will crush this game to pieces otherwise.
I would probably double dip if I could carry over my save from the PS4 version as I still haven't finished it. Is this something Rockstar have done in the past or am I out of luck?
