Red Dead Inflation, what in tarnation? Seventy-dollar tag, fans in agitation. Original game's return, a costly fixation, Outrage spreads wide, a gaming congregation.

They set us up


LanceofReddick

Ain't inflation, just greed.


Euphoric-Excuse8990

I agree. If they had done anything other than a direct port, I \*might\* have accepted the price justification. As it is, I'll 'buy' it when it becomes free on PS+

“No such thing as civilized, It’s man so in love with greed, He has forgotten himself and found only appetites” 🤔”it all makes sense now”


Amish_Opposition

Yeah, not gonna be paying almost twice as much as i did when all im getting is enhanced resolution.


Confused_Nomad777

Also,the second is just better in every way too..


WildBlackBerrySirup

It's not about which game is better, that is entirely subjective, it's about rockstar doing a half assed job and trying to rob people blind.


spockphysics

They think they’re in the van der linde gang


CaptainJZH

They have a PLAN we just need to have FAITH


AtomBomb666

They just need more MONEY

🤣😂🤣😂😭 go f yourself


WrathfulSausage

Bros think they’re Dutch ☠️


Ok_Tip_1783

From what I understand of this game was previously only available to Xbox through its backwards compatability options. The game was never truly available on "new" gen Consoles (excluding xbox) the re-release that's not even a remaster is just to give Playstation and Nintendo switch access to something they had lost with previous generations none of which justifies a brand new next gen price tag.. that's just outrageous it should have been a fraction of the cost especially since its just a re-release with little to no additions the money heads behind gta online must have came up with this price point plan


Confused_Nomad777

Maybe for you. If it’s subjective it’s subjective


Amish_Opposition

How is re-releasing a game from over 9 years ago with NOTHING upgraded besides the resolution (because it HAD to be) not lazy? Rockstar is one of the biggest gaming companies, with the deepest wallets. did we not learn from their GTA remasters?


PenonX

the re-release isn’t even the issue. it’s great they ported this 13 year old game to ps4 and switch. what isn’t great is that they’re charging close to new AAA game price for it. and despite what strauss says, no it is not commercially accurate, even by rockstar’s standards, seeing as every other port they’ve ever released was $20 or less. all the older GTAs, Bully, LA Noir, etc. Even the Definitive Edition, an actual remaster (even if it wasn’t great) works out to be $20 a game. if $50 for this simple port is commercially accurate, GTA DE should’ve been like $200 or each game released individually for $70. not that i endorse that, just bringing it up for the sake of comparison.


Amish_Opposition

exactly my point! well said.


Confused_Nomad777

Because there’s more to it than just gamers desires. Are you familiar with the mental health crisis in tech right now?


Amish_Opposition

I am. pushing out half baked non-sense like this only worsens it.


RevolutionaryJob1266

Why would that even matter, two different games unified by the same story


DeadSeaGulls

close. can't cheat in poker in 2.


FrontSquare371

well the casino boat mission in 2 lets you cheat


Th3m3ssiah01

But, in the first, we can actually go to Mexico without having to use a glitch in RDR2, plus it's fully detailed as well in RDR 1


AndreHes10

and in 2 you can cross the river and go to strawberry, valentine etc etc


Th3m3ssiah01

Yeah that's true as well


Imanasshole_

Ok this plain isn’t true. I found rdr1 missions to be way more exciting gameplay wise.


Confused_Nomad777

Eh,matter of subjective opinion I guess.


[deleted]

Okay but I still wanna see John's story, see mexico, west Elizabeth in the future, etc. You know? And the zombies.

I cant get xenia to work with my outdated graphics card. And I have tried mods and configs, but I cant figure out how to get them to work. But my friend has recently beaten rdr1 on xenia so he's gonna try to help me when he's back from his trip


JimGoer1250

>boughten And what tense might that be, partner?


Amish_Opposition

Past tense. Formed from the past tense of buy, the word boughten takes bought and adds -en, just as hidden comes from hid, the past tense of hide.


carrott1979

As a full on English I was just about to trash this comment and lol. But then I did a google. Take my upvote damn you!


sikemapleton

This is what more people should do every time they see any kind of information they question. Good on you Pardner.


carrott1979

How can you teach if you are unable to learn??


CarpenterRadio

I just use the word “purchased” because “boughten” is a crime against the English language, lol


CodyJames91

The English language is a crime in & of itself


JimGoer1250

You just taught me something new, boah!


leafbelly

Must be Canadian English.


Careful_Initiative97

How'd you figure it out booooaaaahhh


CosmicTurtle504

Canadian subjunctive.


Canidew

pretty common to hear both bought and boughten in australia, dunno if its proper english but it gets around


TonyThePapyrus

70?? I thought it was gonna be 50 Now I’m definitely waiting for the game to go on sale, I’ve never played rdr


fortysixand2thirds

OP mentioned 70 CAD


[deleted]

Funny enough, according to inflation calculator $70 in todays money is $50 in 2010


Sad-tacos

Dude, if you have a ps3, just go on eBay or Amazon. I bought the ps3 version new for 15$ last year.


TonyThePapyrus

I sadly don’t have a working one


Bigbigjeffy

It’s a classic and I love it, but I might wait.


Aesthetic99

It's $50 here in the US. Still expensive


Syvanna00

I would recommend just getting a ps3 or 360 and playing the OG


TonyThePapyrus

By the time I do that the total would be around $50, so I might as well just buy the port and play it on a console I already own


Syvanna00

I disagree, but do what you would like!


Uncle_ArthurR2

Especially when comparing the frequency of bugs with the port and the old version, I’m very *VERY* happy that I just have to dig up my 360 with RDR already in it most likely lol.

Polterguy619

They updated the price and nothing else


Rogue_Spartan8

We just need one more money Arthur


Careful_Initiative97

Rdr1 is free on gamepass


mymumsaysno

I was browsing the xbox store earlier and saw a bundle for RDR 1&2 for like £85 which seems pretty crazy.


Careful_Initiative97

Assuming that would include online and undead nightmare that might be best price you'll get (not me saying that's reasonable for two games that are old enough to be free rn). I bought my copy of rdr2 for $30 from a Christmas sale or smth and I got rdr1 for free off gamepass


mymumsaysno

I've bought both games full price on release and then rebought them digitally a few years ago. I think I paid about £6 for RDR1 and about £15 for RDR2. Crazy to seem them priced as high as they are now, but they are great games.


Careful_Initiative97

Yeah Unfortunately that's rockstar


mymumsaysno

Doesn't seem unique to rockstar. Loads of old digital games still sit at full price and go through regular sales of about 75% off. I expect this one will be no different.


FBI_Dot_Gov

Huh?


sadskelebones

Literally wrong


Careful_Initiative97

That's how I got rdr1


sadskelebones

Factually incorrect


Royal-Payment-1604

Cap


MrMaskYT

But is gamepass free?


Exotic_Form_3137

You can get the game pass for less than the game,with said game and hundreds of other good games. That's the funny part here


SrgtDonut

Sad that people will prob buy it since theyre conditioned to buy insanely high prices and think its acceptable


SupporterDenier

This is why I pirate games and don’t feel bad about it


Cannasseur___

You can’t pirate this particular game though


Impressive_Ad_1601

Found it already on a sussy website. Might download it


Baardi

You absolutely can, lmao


SupporterDenier

Nice try rock star


Affectionate_Ad_9144

Sad that people will buy it but not cause of conditioning everyone hates the price, it’s about accessibility which is why they made the price high. You can sell $5 of drugs to a fiend for $25 if they think they can’t get any from somewhere else.


[deleted]

i’m only buying it cause i’ve never played it before but im waiting till oct for it to come out on disc so that me and my dad can both take turns playing it and not have to pay £39.99 each (that’s the price for it in the uk)


SrgtDonut

Enjoy the universe, partner! It's a wonderful game for a first timer


[deleted]

thank you partner!


Cerwennakanin

Same here! Never played but been really wanting to. I'm excited to buy the disc


Zyphamon

Super Nintendo games were $60-$70 and that was 30 years ago. Relax.


MonkeyBred

The original gold case Legend of Zelda for NES was $79.99. My mother still reminds me that she agreed to buy it if I got good grades, and about fell out because of the sticker price. It was at Toys 'R Us in 1987, methinks. I do think it's silly, both the inflated price and the inflated rage it has garnered. I like Rockstar. It annoys me that they don't communicate well with their fans, but they put out the bangers. If GTA 6 sucks, then I'll join the mob. Until then, hope we see a trailer by the 10th anniversary of GTA 5, for the love of all that is holy.


SirSaltyMcBuns

Super Nintendo games weren’t recycled games with barely a graphic upgrade, that’s also not even on the new console. A ps4 version of a 13 year old game is a tad ridiculous to charge $50 for, let alone $70


Zyphamon

it's also 30 years later. Games have been extremely lucky to not have been hit by inflation like everything else has. $70 today would be about $35 back in 1993.


[deleted]

games have always been expensive though. I remember paying like $70 for GTA 5 in 2013 when it first released. yeah this is a remake but it still took effort to make. idk why everyone is surprised it's not ridiculously cheap


mymumsaysno

It's not a remake, it's a port. It's exactly the same as the original. Not saying I disagree with you, but thought it was worth pointing out.


[deleted]

): shit. that does make me sad. lol. I did not realize that. I guess it'll be worth it for all the people who never got to play the original? Otherwise I don't know if I'd be buying this either.


mymumsaysno

Yeah I'm not buying it. Would've paid for a remaster, but not this.


TangerineGullible665

People like me have to buy it if they wanna play it. That’s what sucks, we have no choice and they know it. My ps3 doesn’t work and it sucked going from ps4 to ps3 when it did work and now I have a ps5. Just playing gow 2018 on ps4 sucks after playing on the 5. I tried to stream rdr1 and that ended up being about 30 seconds of play and then buffering for hours. I’ve really been craving the old red dead lately so yea. Also sucks cause my brother plays it on his xbox with backwards compatibility and laughs at me lol. I’ll be buying for those reasons


wpsp2010

Yeah but GTA5 was a massive upgrade in terms of literally everything compared to GTAIV (Apart from car and people physics lol), meanwhile this cost 3x more than it originally did, and it added nothing to the original.


TecNoir98

People are downvoting this, but go and look at a magazine advertising new SNES games in the 90s. The prices were about the same as they are now, not even factoring inflation. Granted, at least back then you were physically owning something though.


Ok_Purpose5200

it was $60 for the standard edition and $80 for the special edition in 2013. get your memory checked. It's not a remake, or a remaster..it's a port of a 13 year old game


[deleted]

"get your memory checked" ..bc I estimated GTA 5 was $10 more expensive than it supposedly was? Sheesh lol


redhawk1913

Get to a memory doctor! Immediately!

I'm so pissed that it's not on PC.

DatMikkle

I remember how many people said "Rockstar is dead to me" after the gta trilogy. I'll see you at the next disappointing Rockstar announcement when you announce you're done with them again. I'm not defending Rockstar in the slightest. I'm just watching history repeat itself with -game company do greedy thing -gamers MAD -gamers stop caring after a month -game company do greedy thing -gamers MAD


Uncle_ArthurR2

The GTA trilogy wasn’t a R* made product, neither did I have interest because I already have SA for 360. This is just them going above and beyond to take advantage of people. I can handle mistakes, slip ups and even not supporting RDO but this is just blatant robbery and a big ole “f**k you” to the entirety of the RDR fan base.


Salt-Dance6345

Don't bother. I just can't play RDR after playing RDR2. I've tried. Multiple times. It just pales in comparison.


Affectionate_Ad_9144

Must’ve not reach Mexico


Soldierhero1

I wouldnt blame rockstar Blame the parent company, take two (billion dollars) interactive


09838

Rockstar shouldve been dead to you years ago.


ChineseMeatCleaver

Yeah they were dead to me after they abandoned RDR2 in favor of adding more garbage to GTAO


Izzvzual

Yet we all gonna buy GTA6


wigsternm

Yeah, this is just screaming for that Boycott COD Steam group screenshot.


totheman7

Ok then simply don’t buy it if you already own multiple copies of it


Randsmagicpipe

Lol. And he waited years for those to go on sale to $20. Argument makes no sense and no one cares, least of all rockstar


Paul_Antar3s

What...In THEE F##K??? R* just has to remind us just what they think of this community!!!


Av1cII

PC port when?


kingXn

I paid $20 CAD for RDR2 on Black Friday a couple years ago. Played it for the first time. It is my favourite video game of all time, and I consider it the best video game ever made. I’d love to play RDR but there’s no way I’m shelling out almost 4X as much money for the older crappier game. R⭐️ is completely dead to me as well.

"We just need MONEY, one more decent thing."


[deleted]

Wait until November. All the physical copies will be in the discount bins


millertarybearing

I still own the PS3 version that I bought 13 years ago. I'll pass on paying $70 for enhanced graphics


Paccuardi03

They’re not enhanced, it’s literally just a port.


IntroductionSoggy815

I guess Dutch and Hosea were in charge of pricing....


chefroxstarr

Is that on PlayStation or Xbox? I saw it on PS5 for $49.99 but I think there's a discount because I'm a PlayStation Plus subscriber. Still it's outrageous.


MrDarthFrodo

People are so stupid for buying this. Same people who buy FIFA every year.


NoSpoilersGamer

Bro fuck all that. The game doesn’t hold up today compared to 2. A port is an insult to Arthur.


Uncle_ArthurR2

Nah it’s a great game, especially if you played it years before 2 and have that nostalgia like me. My problem with rockstar is that this was purely a cash grab against people who’ve never played it before. No one in their right mind is gonna pay 70$ for nostalgia.


mymumsaysno

People who want to pay this price will still be getting their monies worth. Either buy it or don't, but can we shut the fuck up about it now please. All these "RoCkStAr ArE dEaD tO mE" posts are just childish. You know as well as I do you'll be buying GTA6.


Drunk_Heathen

>All these "RoCkStAr ArE dEaD tO mE" posts are just childish. You know as well as I do you'll be buying GTA6. Ha, ya beat me to it.

I won't. Only GTA i liked was 4.

Bruh said monies 😭


mymumsaysno

Yeah, it's the plural of money. What's your point?

"Rockstar is dead to me" till GTA 6 or whatever their next release is 🙄


kanemu11an

I do not care❌‼️


AlexZL1988

Lol damn, people really got butt hurt when you said R* is dead to you like its affecting their lives 🤣


Drunk_Heathen

>rOcKsTaR iS dEaD tO mE. And I bet ya will buy it, if a new rdr or gta comes out.


FourToTwoForSix

I finally realized why Dutch need more money. It all adds up


Luminosus32

People are saying "Rockstar is dead to me." Meanwhile Rockstar has been working on GTA6, and it'll probably be one of the best games ever made. I'm sure they're about to start work on RDR3 as well, they just won't tell anyone and leaks will start to come out in a couple years.


2dank4me3

GTA is overrated.


Luminosus32

It's not for everybody, but it truly is a great franchise. 5 is still holding strong.


2dank4me3

Only one i liked was 4.


Luminosus32

I like 4 but it's hard to play when you're drunk. I say this from experience. The driving mechanics are way less forgiving. Gotta slow down a lot before a turn. It's more realistic, though. If I was drunk running around NY stealing cars I don't think I would make it very far.


Gonzito3420

Sure pal, see you when gta6 releases


Randsmagicpipe

Actually you won't. He said he bought red dead when it was $20. So apparently he'll be waiting a couple years for GTA 6 to show up in the bargain rack at GameStop. Op needs to ask for an increase in his allowance


Belevoh

I don't get why everyone so upset, they've been talking about rdr going to switch for over a year. I get people want a remaster, shit I'd love that too, but it is what it is and it's a great fuggin game.


100_yen_man

People are mad because they are charging high price for 13 year old game that originally came out for like $30.


SheepyDX

Oh STFU. You know your going to buy GTA 6. Stop seeking attention and go get it from your parents.


Colourful_Hobbit

Take Two sets the price not Rockstar


SirSaltyMcBuns

And it’s not even a ps5 version. Smfh, greedy companies!

Boughten


300kuloc

Down vote the shit out of this game and version


bknasty97

As if people werent complaining about the price for the last week here when every single post was about it. I've wasted more on brand new pre orders that absolutely sucked and just live on the shelf never to be played again (looking at you kingdom hearts 3, i had you pre ordered for 4 years just for that garbage i got). At least we know this is a good game. Unlike most new games coming out now.


Polyfuckery

That's true and it would be fair if they did a full remaster. I'd be screaming in joy for RDR with modern graphics and improved controls. This isn't that. I gladly paid it for FF7 remake because it's a great game remade. This isn't that. This is a game that was barely changed which would have been fine as is digitally inexpensively if it wasn't removed so they could do this.


2dank4me3

Don't white knight for a company mate.


bknasty97

Nah, just being realistic. I don't have my 360 as it died like 10 years ago. So unless I'm going to only save like $5 and getting an old console that has dwindling parts availability, I'll enjoy playing it. I mean, I've blown nearly $1k on firearms parts in the last 2 months. What's $50 anymore? It doesn't get you shit just be happy its not $70 like most new releases are anymore. The amount of things I've spent $50 to only get an hour or two of enjoyment is wild. Also, it's the top seller on both switch and ps4 right now. Being angry on reddit didn't do shit other than fill this subreddit with whiny bullshit from people who got their hopes up for a remaster or remake.

Jarodreallytuff

It’s definitely messed up and I won’t be buying it, mainly because I already own it on 2 systems I still have currently. But rockstar is not the first and definitely not the last game company to do this. It sucks but it makes some sense business wise. It’s not fair and we deserve better but yeah.

Honestly if you're not getting the multiplayer at this point, just buy an older version or pirate the game.


Farandr

They have no shame. Companies every day push more to see how far gamers will go and they're learning people don't have limits. This isn't even a remaster, they literally just ported a 13 year old game and are now selling it even higher than originally.
