Rockstar announced the partnership with New York-based Barking Irons yesterday, which features a collection of western apparel and accessories that resemble the same nods to authenticity as the realistic elements found within _ Red Dead Redemption 2
Back when Reggie Fils-Amie denied rumors of a Switch port, he emphasized the fact that it hadn’t been shot down due to hardware restrictions —according to him, the Switch is more than capable of running the game. It was more an issue of the game having been under development far before the idea of the Switch was even being tossed around. What’s more, with rumors of Nintendo gearing up to release a VR add-on alongside a new and improved pro version of the console, it doesn’t seem like horsepower would necessarily keep RDR2 off of the sys
"Like we said on stage, we're going to bring four generations of content to Scarlett, including all the games on the Xbox One, we have the 360 and the original Xbox games, and not only do we want those to run, we want them to run and play better than you've ever seen them on Scarlett. All your accessories are compatible moving forward as well. If you go and buy an Elite Wireless Controller or Series Two Controller that will be forward compatible on the Scarle
The kicker here seems to be that, while audiences would no doubt be extremely receptive to a Switch translation of the record-setting game, it might not be all that feasible. While AAA titles like 2016’s Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Collossus have received Switch ports, games as visually detailed and ambitious as RDR2 are few and far between on the system. It may be true that Nintendo managed to cram something as expansive and marvelous as Breath of the Wild onto a Switch cartridge, but the fact remains that, were Rockstar’s game to come to the console, it would likely come with more than a few caveats and restricti
Oddly enough, it doesn't appear that the latest update mentions anything about removing or altering the lighting of the game, let alone a full removal of ambient occlusion. In fact, lighting isn't mentioned at all outside of small changes and texture issues .
In fact, some eagle-eyed users were able to spot the visual discrepancies then. User RolfStarGames on the GTA Forums captured the below images doing a thorough investigation between the original build and captures post Update 1.03. You can check those images in the following gallery:
A physical edition of the catalogue included Nintendo’s console alongside the Playstation 4 and Xbox One on the list of compatible gaming machines, and fans seem to think this may indicate an upcoming announcement on the part of either Nintendo or Rockstar. There may be some credibility to these claims; Walmart Canada infamously let slip that Bethesda’s Rage 2 and Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 3 were forthcoming well in advance of their official announcements, and this could be yet another example of a retailer jumping the
Unfortunately, Target has since corrected their Red Dead Redemption 2 listing on their website to state that it would only be available for the PS4 and Xbox One. This likely means that any mention of the Switch alongside Rockstar’s game was a simple error, though it’s worth noting that other titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V were correctly listed in the magaz
Rumors of an upcoming Switch port of Rockstar’s recently-released Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC|https://reddeadwildland.com/ Dead Redemption 2 were all but put to rest a few months ago when the now-retired Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced in an interview with Hollywood Reporter that the game wouldn’t be making an appearance on the hybrid gaming machine. Though his statements seemed pretty finite at the time, speculation concerning RDR2 on the Switch has once again stirred thanks to an Australian Target shopping catalog
Update: After further digging, it's been deduced that the Red Dead Redemption 2 's reported ambient occlusion visual downgrade is far from new -- in fact, the change has been active since Update 1.03 which rolled out late last year. Even still, it doesn't appear that an explicit downgrade to shadowing via ambient occlusion was noted in the Rockstar patch notes .
However you feel about Nintendo’s plucky little hybrid handheld, you’ve got to admit that the Switch deserves some kudos. Arriving in the wake of the unfortunate Wii U, it sure had its work cut out for it. After a bumpy start, the likes of Super Mario Odyssey helped get that momentum going, and sales have been super solid ever si
Speaking about accessories, one can assume he is referring to Kinect, old Xbox controllers, and possibly peripherals such as headsets. Xbox has experimented with upgrading backwards compatible games externally, as they did by making the original Red Dead Redemption 4K with updated textures. We'll have to wait a tiny bit more for full details on Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, with the console shipping during Holiday 2
