Out now on PS4 (and PS5 via backwards compatibility, of course), Red Dead Redemption rides again. Rockstar's open world western was a game that helped define the PS3 generation, and 13 years later, it's still held in extremely high regard. It is nice, then, to see such a classic finally be unshackled from last-last-gen hardware — although based on what we've played of it so far, it's certainly not the remaster that Red Dead Redemption deserves.
Before its release, we polled Push Square readers on their opinions of this PS4 port — and the results weren't pretty. The majority of users said that there was simply "no chance" of them buying it — but we want to know if the tables have turned now that the remaster is actually upon us.

No way I'm buying this sorry excuse of a quick buck attempt.
Never played the game, but i heard it was good so I do want to give it a go eventually... but not in this state.
Give me a proper Remake and I'll be there to purchase it day one.
Never in a million years! 😂 Double the framerate and half the price, then we can talk
The worst is not the price, but the lack of respect for the game
Think the physical version releases 13th October. When they're traded in to CeX I'll grab it used in late 24 or early 25 for under a tenna
@Beerheadgamer82 didnt know it was getting a physical. May have to check CEX at Christmas for copies lol
Definitely waiting for price to drop for a straight port its not the cost of a new game
No way until a steep sale price. At $25 I'd start to consider it but until then it's just not happening.
Bought the physical edition of the X360 version at GameStop on the cheap a while back to play on Xbox Series X (might have even been during my Xbox One X days, though).
No need to get this on PlayStation.
I have the Xbox 360 version on disc, which it sounds like the same thing, so no, won't be buying it again.
100%'d long ago and have no need to return. Still a damn shame how little Rockstar is treating their second-best IP.
I was refusing to buy it at that price but I ended up caving in and buying it (as I knew I was likely to do) and after playing it for about an hour I'm....not regretting it one bit. Sure they could have given it a bit more love but it actually looks really nice for what it is and plays good too.
579 swedish kronor = 41,61£ = 53,08$... so NO THANKS!!
They can keep it. This should be 150 swedish kronor at most tbh. (10.78£/13.75$)

Red Dead 1 is one of my favourite games ever...but there's just no way I'm paying that much. Out of principle, if nothing else.
Im still playing red dead redemption 2.which is a prequel to red dead redemption.definetly wait on a sale.but my backlog is huge.i got ro many games to play.word up son
Never.
It is my favorite game by them next to San Andreas however I can't bring myself to support R* anymore.
Who are the 2% saying it’s “a fair price”?!?! 😂
Should be free for anyone that beat Glass Joe on Rockstar Table Tennis on Ultra Violence mode.
I gave in and bought it… come at me!
Love the game, but no
I'll pick it up when it's a tenner.
Only sheep would pay this much for a game thats just a port. Can't be mad though. We need them to keep the gaming industry going. It definitely isn't because of guys like me, lol.
@Skeletor85 I agree with your statement, but they'll probably delete your post soon and mine because it doesn't follow their strict guidelines.
Wrong place to ask really, guessing most of the hardcore PS fans that would be on here wouldn't buy or play the game again. Might be the odd few though.
Didn't know it was out. Won't buy it unless it drops below €20
Such a great game and looks good on ps5.
@SoulChimera Now that's a game i wouldnt mind buying again 👍👍
Yeah I have zero interest in this port. The price point doesn't help either.
Not a chance in hell. It’s a shame to see it doing so well.
Might be tempted if i see it going for a tenner but otherwise i shell stick with the better Xbox version.
Hate the price but yeah I bought cause unlike most people I didn't have some fantasy about a built from the ground up remake in less than a month. Nice to see it top of the ps charts on the ps store tho, when a 13 year old game is higher than cod and Fortnite that's a sign that real games are back lol
I can understand getting the Nintendo Switch version, but the PS4 version is just not worth it, at least at this price.
Not buying it and I think it's a joke. This whole situation makes me happy that I still have an Xbox One X with games like this on it.
@Balie3000 I feel like that would have worked for a PS5 version. Like if they did a proper job of making it 60fps with enhanced 4K visuals for the PS5, at $30, I probably would have bought it. How they're selling this right now however, no way. I am not paying $50 for some lazy and already outdated PS4 port.
I'm really angry at Xbox with that stupid Dashboard and bought this for spite....at least that's what my brain said when I pushed the button. Cuz that'll teach Xbox! In absolutely no way!! Me spending 50$ for a barely upgraded ort!...I need help...
If I get this anywhere it’s going to be on Switch in a sale. Given it’s Rockstar, there won’t ever be a sale.
This was a great game with a stellar story that got even better with its sequel. That said, it’s a PS3 game, direct port with all the game breaking bugs, miscellaneous crashes and that’s not even the DLC.
Won't be getting it until there's a steep price drop.
Nope
I do not buy rehash of old games I already played - on any platform.
Save my cash for new games
For a very basic remaster it’s a lot of moolah! If they are charging that amount it needs to be more than the bare minimum
Keep whining. I play it 4k 60 FPS on PS5
@NinjaNicky if you wait about a year it should be around 20 or 15 or less in CeX. If wait 18 months to 2 years should be around a tenna. Be easy to wait for a huge price drop especially for those that have already finished the game a decade ago. Waiting that long all depends on how much you really like the game I suppose. Personally I don't mind waiting a long time for a chunky price drop given how I've finished with it on PS3 plus it's dlc already done with, plus the never ending backlog these days
@GamingFan4Lyf I did the same thing and on series x it looks amazing! 4K and Hdr and I feel like it’s 60fps but I could be wrong. Only reason to buy the ps4 version is for the trophies and even that I’m like ehhhhh I have em on the ps3 anyway so 🤷♂️
@Ort agreed, this game deserves better.
Waiting for the remake, that hasn't even gone into prepro.
I imagine it will be on ps plus.
No I didn't buy it........... Waiting for it to come to PS+ 😂😂😂😂

Not interested, the only way I'll play it is if I somehow get it for free or someone lends it to me. As for the price, it really is a joke!
Wow, apparently 2% of the people here work for Rockstar.
I don’t know about other regions, but in Japan at least you can get a bundle with the second game for ¥8696 on sale right now. If I didn’t already own RDR2 I’d be tempted by that. Edit: that’s about $60 US 😮
The price is ok for first time players. For veterans, some still with their PS3 and a disc copy, a wait for a price drop is what most may do.
Hit.co.uk (base.com) or Gamecollection it is then. No way am I paying £40 for a digital game that is 13 years old when I could get it for £20 at a later date Physical.
@Kevw2006 Good that you like but I refuse to get it at this insane price point it's a a rippoff.
Rockstar are dead to me. Lazy greedy money grabbers. We should have been on GTA8 by now. There are plenty of amazing experiences elsewhere. At the time I thought GTA3 was the greatest, funniest game I'd ever played.
I wouldnt buy it for a fiver
No I didn’t. But bought it for the switch. RDR on the go. Hell yes. 😎
Right now it appears as the best-selling game in the store, or people are very hypocritical or those of sony fool us as they want.
I have it on Xbox, which by the way doesn't have any graphical glitches, so this not-so-perfect PS4 port is a no-go for me.
Have it on Xbox for £10 with better performance & Multiplayer.
Playstation users being bent over and shafted with this and based on the sales, willingly taking it.
Nope, never played it, never intend to... zero interest in this or anything to do with cowboys.
I'm firmly in the waiting-for-a-sale camp. I'm actually fine with the visuals just getting a boost to resolution and anti-aliasing, but it really should have a significant performance boost if they are going to leave the assets as is. If it gets a 60fps mode down the line then it might be worth it at $40, but otherwise it's gotta get down to $20 before I'll consider it
i bought it on xbox, it's on sale all the time
If they were going to charge this much they should have added high res assets and a 60fps or 120fps option. This is a dumb, dumb joke
I understand that someone has had to put the work in to get this game “up to scratch” - but I still think it should not have been full price.
I have this game on the xbox. The 360 version is upscaled on the Series X, and looks much better than this.
Both this game, and RDR 2 are automatically upscaled to Xbox One X standard, but not Series X versions.
Have to get around to playing it again sometime, anyway.
At $50/£40, nope. But when it inevitably drops to £10 - £20, I'd say it would be worth that (especially on Switch).
My thoughts on ports vs remakes/remasters is this, would it have been great if RDR got a remake similar to Bluepoints 'Shadow of the Colossus' or 'Demons Souls', yes. But to take those two as an example, I'd also like to see the original versions of those games ported to modern hardware too. I think the original work is as deserving of a port to modern systems, as a remake that is building on the original game's success.
One of my favorite games on 360, if I find a a physical copy new (is the map still present?) for 20€ I'll buy it.
Removed - inappropriate language
Lazy cash grab. Even a tenner is too much, this thing deserves a fiver at most.
I love the game but not at that price. I have it on Xbox so that's great but I will buy it in a year when it's a fiver in CeX as Take Two don't deserve my money for being cheeky @#£&'s.
They could have given a few modders a couple of grand to do a good job of this and we'd have been happier than the zero effort cash grab rockstar are now doing.
No I wouldn't buy it for PS4, I'd play the blurrier but still fun PS3 version.
However having said that, I did have the Switch version bought for me as a birthday present because I've wanted it on there as long as I can remember, and am still mystified they didn't combine the release of RDR2 with RDR1 on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. Weird. Because if the minimal effort shown here was all it took it could have been done years ago, 2018 if you like.
