Xbox one x and ps4 pro upgrades

[TheBaconator]

I know there is no real information out there to answer this question, so this is purely speculation, but what type of upgrades should we expect to come with the new console upgrades to RDR2. There are obvious ones like texture upgrades and improved draw distances, but I am talking about more major upgrades from the older (new) consoles. With the Xbox one x having a 6 teraflop gpu (and other technical terms I don’t fully understand) enabling the most lifelike environments for a console yet, should we expect rockstar to put out a game that is top tier graphics wise?

I do expect we'll see something special. I think the X and Pro will obviously run at higher resolutions but also with better frame rates (even for those poor shmucks like myself who don't own 4k displays).

Either way I think RDR2 is going to be a blessing when compared to the PS3 version of the game. I've been trying to replay it recently after playing a lot of GTA V on my PC and while it still looks awesome (the scenery and environments in many areas were just spot on) the low resolution and horrible frame rates sort of killed it a bit for me.

I agree, it will be almost impossible for RDR2 to not outshine the original game. I sincerely hope that the frame rate is able to stick closer to 30fps if not more because the one thing I do not like about gta 5 is the stutter affect that often happens during online and story mode. If nothing else let’s hope they fix those terrible ground textures at the beginning of the 2nd trailer. Also, if you are looking for a somewhat affordable 4K display, I would recommend a Hisense tv. I recently purchased one, and not only is the picture great, but the sound is to die for. Here is the link to both the 4K and 4K hdr models if you are on the market for one:

Awesome, thanks for the links! Will probably look at getting something only around Christmas time this year though but will definitely look into the Hisense.

I think that this will be the best game they have done graphics wise yet and that is not because of the break years of production. This game will get awards based on how it looks alone, I guarantee it.

I agree with you on the award aspect of what you said. It reminds me of what comes with long development periods for games, like you said it has had. The longer a game is in development for, the higher the expectations are, at least usually. An exception would be Crackdown 3, in my humble opinion. Going by this reasoning, I don’t think Rockstar would want to have RDR2 delayed again. It’s already been delayed once, which means they will have had more time to perfect it. The negative to repeatedly delaying a game is it allow fans of the future game like myself, to let our imaginations run wild. Which is fine and dandy until at least to us they under deliver, because we assumed they would be doing more than just minor bug fixes in those extra months spent on it. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think that RDR2 will be delayed again.

There is a rumor already about a possible delay [8th of June] although not a long one and possibly not even one we might want to take as a real delay depending on what your expected window for the release is/was:

As long as it's still by the end of June...
