We are truly living in the era of remasters and remakes. More an observation than judgement. There are many games I never played that this will allow me to play for the first time.
I think for RDR1 we should take into account that a remake/remaster means the game being available on more platforms than just PS3/360, which is always a good thing.
The one area I will concede on remakes/remasters being a good thing is if A) no support for backwards compatibility for current gen platforms and can’t be easily emulated B) the game runs like ass on its original platform.
Red dead redemption fulfills these criteria at least on PlayStation
And the era where Rockstar absolutely tells Red Dead Redemption 2 to get fucked.
