We didn't have to wait 14 years for the PC port of Red Dead Redemption to receive very useful improvements beyond the experience.
Although we didn't think this day would come, Red Dead Redemption finally released on PC last October. Who says that the PC version necessarily means the possibility of drastically changing the gaming experience thanks to mods. Whether it's improving the visual quality of the venerable title, improving the gameplay, or even adding new features, modders have already gotten to work in earnest. Here are some examples that could clearly be worth a detour to beat Rockstar's iconic game in its PC version.
Red Dead Redemption PC modders are faster than their shadows
As a PC port and not a remaster, Red Dead Redemption is clearly showing its age. This is particularly evident at the level of textures, which are obviously not fresh despite the support of modern resolutions such as 4K. This is where trashman42069 comes into play with the mod “ Everything upscale “. This initially drastically improves the resolution of many objects and other elements such as bullet holes or blood stains. However, the modder intends to eventually rework all of the game's textures. However, this may take a lot of time (and preferably not 14 years).
If you want to make Red Dead Redemption more historically realistic, this is “ Historical reworking of the weapons of the Old West » by ibr974 might interest you. This allows you to rename the weapons in the game according to their real period name. For example: The initial Cattleman revolver becomes the Colt Single Action Army. There are also mods aimed at changing the behavior of weapons to make them more in line with early 20th century weaponry.
Finally, if you're looking for a better immersion in a Red Dead Redemption that was already very solid at this point, a mod adds a very welcome new feature to its PC version: a first-person perspective. Rightly called “ First person salvation “, this mod from HanaShirokuma literally allows you to play as John Marston. You can find other equally interesting mods by shopping on the Nexus Mods page dedicated to the game, indicated in the source listed below.
