8 Video Games In Desperate Need Of A Remaster

8. Red Dead Redemption

Considering the fact that New Austin is accessible in Red Dead Redemption II but is almost completely devoid of things to do (not to mention that a fully modelled Mexico can be accessed via glitches), fans have been speculating that a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption is in the works from just about day one.

he original Red Dead Redemption felt huge at the time, and had a reactive and immersive world like no other. No one can forget the first act's eccentric infiltration and assault on Fort Mercer, or riding into Mexico for the first time to the haunting sound of Jose Gonzalez's Far Away.

Red Dead Redemption II has since built upon the first and trounced it in every way - with its tighter mechanics, stunningly updated graphics and even more exciting and immersive sandbox making the original a little difficult to return to. Sure, it's where Red Dead II was forged, but it now feels a little like a beta - a similar experience with a lot of features missing. To be able to return to the setting of the first game with all of its sequel's improvements would be an absolute joy both for gamers wanting to revisit John Marston's quest and for newcomers who missed out on the first title but might find it a little clunky after Red Dead II.

All that said, it's perfectly plausible and even likely that we will see Red Dead Redemption I make a return in the next year or two. Who's excited to see how Seth Briars looks in glorious next-gen?
