If you are a fan of Westerns or a fan of RDR 2, you need to play Read Dead Redemption. It came out before RDR2 a long time ago, so the graphics arent as crisp as the newer one. But for the time RDR was one of the best looking games and it still kinda holds up. If you finished RDR2 and want to find out what happens after, this is a must for you. I really hope Rockstar makes RDR3 and fully takes advatage of the power of the new consoles. Im sure GTA6 is going to be amazing! Cant wait and hoping for a RDR3!

If you haven't played this game in a long time this is the way to do it. 60 fps and 4k on PS5 makes it feel like a new game. I'm having fun with it and it feels like a new experience. I got it on sale for $30 but I feel the launch price should of been $40 not $50 and I would of gotten it on release date that's how good it looks and plays.

I never played this back on PS3, so I'm happy to finally have it playable on a current gen Playstation. Looks and plays great. Get it on sale though, full price is too much for a game that wasn't remade or fully remastered.

Awesome port, I was hoping Rockstar did a full remastered of the game but I guess a port to the ps4 is still a great option, the game plays just as well as it did on the ps3 but I can definitely trll thaf they did some improvements to the game and that is very much welcome.

Just a straightforward port of an all time classic. 60fps has been added, at least when playing on PS5. It's the original red dead and dlc, that's really all you need to know.

"Red Dead Redemption" for PS4 is a stunning open-world masterpiece, offering a compelling blend of deep storytelling and engaging gameplay. Set in the American frontier, it features an intricate world rich in detail and a morally complex protagonist. The game excels in combining exploration, combat, and interaction with diverse characters, all within a beautifully rendered environment. Its fine-tuned mechanics and attention to detail, from weather to wildlife, make it a benchmark in gaming, providing an unforgettable and immersive experience.

Although I agree that RDR2 is the superior game, the first Red Dead Redemption still holds a special place in my heart all these years later. 100% worth a play if you never have. The story and gameplay still hold up !

For the price $50 the price it too much but if you catch it on sale I highly reccommend on you getting and playing it. As a person who diddin’t play the original release the game still is phenomenal. Obviously it wouldn’t be as groundbreaking visually as rdr2 but the story of John still holds up. (Note: rdr2 is a prequel to rdr1 so this game is the aftermath of what happend in rdr2)
