Rockstar Games does not have a track record worth bragging about regarding remakes. This is mainly because of the sub-par remake of Grand Theft Auto titles.
The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy remaster, even though not handled by Rockstar Games but by Grove Street Games, was a disaster. Fans were disappointed at Rockstar Games allowing the remaster to be published.
Refunds were issued, and Rockstar Games was quick to comply and apologize. However, gamers have a long memory, especially when making a horrendous mess of their beloved Grand Theft Auto titles.
Fans of the Red Dead Redemption series are now citing the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy remaster mishap as a reason not to pre-order the Red Dead Redemption 1 Remaster, which is hotly anticipated and is expected to be announced and released soon.
The debate sparked off on Reddit after @TezFunz2 reported on Twitter that Rockstar Games had updated their site and added a new reference within the games list.
Under the post on Reddit, most fans were quick to express their enthusiasm that they would pre-order Red Dead Redemption 1 Remaster as soon as it goes live.
The fans who were around when Grove Street Games massacred the Grand Theft Trilogy Remaster were skeptical about pre-ordering the Red Dead Redemption 1 Remaster.
Another reason cited was that Rockstar had abandoned Red Dead Redemption 2 right after release and invested all resources and human resources into Grand Theft Auto VI and other new titles. This is why it would not be a surprise to see the remaster being outsourced.
Rockstar has also included Red Dead Redemption 1 Remaster in the rating list of the modern site modules. The original site did not use these modules. This indicates a site update with PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Switch have been added as platform buttons.
Most fans fear believing in anything until a Red Dead Remaster trailer drops. Regardless of how good the title turns out to be, the consensus is to be careful with the pre-orders for the remaster.
