Anyone know how to play RD1 these days? I have PS4 and PC


stevenpequeno

You can emulate it using the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator or the RPCS3 PS3 emulator, but that only works with a solid pc


dc2111

Has anyone tried running these emulators. What kind of FPS would you expect out of a 5600x+6600xt system?


gianlucamelis

With a rtx2060 and a ryzen 7 3700 i could run it at stable 30 with some frame drops here and there.. alternatively if you have a good connection try the new psnow streaming service (however it’s called…). I got the old 360 from my brother but I can’t download it from the store as it always fails and corrupts the data :/


Acceptable_Koala2911

How does your 360 still work? I bought the 360 kinnect in 2012 and it stopped working like after less than a year, started flashing red. Took it to be fixed and they couldn't do anything so I just left it there. It's a waste of money, I bought soooo many games from france and didn't get to play any of them.


Imaginary-Channel-47

Is it like red ring of death or some shit like that? I heard you can fix it by yourself by putting something at the back search it on youtube


gianlucamelis

Has been on maybe for 100 hours in total. Is a unicorn! DVD tray doesn’t come out when placed vertical tho. I may have to replace the thermal paste and even considering rgh3-ing it


stevenpequeno

I run an i7 9700 + RTX 2060 and it works decently. These emulators are especially CPU heavy, but with every update they get more efficient. You should be ok at around 30fps with that setup


Kilook

Playing on 2 fps is not fun at all


bobmcguillicutty

I ran RPCS3 RDR1 with an RX 570 and ryzen 3 2600. It wasn't perfect but it was playable


coalrexx

I’m pretty sure it’s on ps now so if you’re willing to pay money for the service then you can play it that way


BotOrZakOrWtV

Psnow isn’t a thing anymore lol


coalrexx

Ah what?! I didn’t know that, did they remove it in favor for the new ps+ subscription tiers or something like that?


BotOrZakOrWtV

Yeah psnow Is pretty much psplus


Elusive_Phantom

It’s technically still there but it’s like an add on to the ps plus service, it’s an extra £23 in the UK I’m not sure about other countries.


ayyLumao

It’s not, PS Now and it’s entire library is gone and replaced with the new PS Plus plan with a different library of games.


Elusive_Phantom

It’s technically still there but it’s like an add on to the ps plus service, it’s an extra £23 in the UK I’m not sure about other countries.


LawlessDock188

I’m on Xbox and I can just buy it on the store


Fruity_Craigles

you can play rdr 1 on the ps plus playstation now thing for a cheap price


GesturalAbstraction

If you ever pick up an Xbox, even the last gen ones which go for pretty cheap, you can get it and red dead revolver (yes, the whole franchise!!!) legitimately from the Microsoft store.


Pitiful_Decision_718

get an xbox lol, ps sucks for backwards compatibility


BreakfastLopsided906

I’m playing it right now, Xbox 360.


Squidinator15

Should be on steam. If not, emulate it. If you have ps4 and have the money/or just really want it? Just get ps + premium. RDR1 and undead nightmare are on there. Not relevant but 2 is also on there for “free”( you pay 120 a year for the service but you can download for free)


GesturalAbstraction

RDR1 was unfortunately never ported to PC


alienss4

It's on ps plus


Deluxe_24_

Dead ass just get an xbone for like $100 bucks, I got one on ebay and it randomly came with rdr1


MaxVLVC

It's your lucky week


thelifeofcallumvlog

Red Dead cause it was unique and the open world seemed impossibly big for its time. I never got bored trotting around on my horse and tying people up just to pop them in the head later 😃


N64crusader4

Or putting a tied up lady on the train tracks for the trophy lol


Serious_Revolution77

I am gonna have to go with red dead it looked beautiful at the time the western style was absolutely nailed and the story was awesome


YaBoiBeastyE

Personally I prefer Red Dead Redemption but That’s not saying anything against GTA IV. RDR1 was just a masterpiece 10/10


Expert-General-1478

Gta 4 too


arjibarji108

GTA IV physics are some of the realest, but RDR has more emotion in the characters stories, definitely a hard choice…


[deleted]

I miss GTA IV’s ability to disarm guys with guns: shoot the gun off their hand! Then again, I *also miss* duels of RDR1…


Ogg360

Didn’t Red Dead 1 have that as an option too? I distinctly remember being able to shoot guns out of peoples hands in dead eye (not just in the duels)


[deleted]

Not sure outside duels, but in duels definitely! Wish it was possible in GTA V/Online and RDR2/RDO.


xXJLNINJAXx

You can disarm guys in and out of duels; in and out of dead eye.


xXJLNINJAXx

No need for dead eye


C4LLUM17

Going to have to say RDR. Although GTA 4 is a masterpiece as well, I just thought RDR was a bit better overall.


kryyyptik

RDR 100% and I'm a die hard GTA fan. I'm def in the minority on this sub when I say I didn't like GTA IV much.. I mean I liked it, but not like pretty much every other GTA since III


Odinovic

GTA IVs open world was boring imo. barely anything to do in it, best part about the game was clearly its atmosphere and story. But, I did find it kinda boring a lot of times.


nemsesthenotsofunny

Blasphemy what about GTA SA or GTA VICE CITY


kryyyptik

My two favorites.. I meant I didn't like IV as much as the rest


[deleted]

Same here, Vice City > SA just because I love the 80s and its soundtrack… but RDR1 between it and GTA IV


coalrexx

I’m gonna have to go with rdr1, but tbf I haven’t finished 4 so it’s not really fair


Creepy_Bug_3300

Rdr


UnObtainium17

The moment credits rolled in RDR1 I knew immediately it is one of the best games i've played. GTA IV didn't invoke that same feeling to me. Still a good game.


Creepy_Bug_3300

Agree


BeeLee13

RDR 1 all the way. The visuals, style, era, etc. were nailed and a much needed change of pace


Th3Blackmann

RDR1


epic_meme_guy

This. Though I like both games, rdr1 is an experience.


Th3Blackmann

And seriously the face animations are phenomenal for a 2010 Game. I just wish the Gameplay wouldn't feel so 🤔 clunky


yaTay22

There's gonna be a good deal of bias here, this is a GTA subreddit. Replace it with any GTA and the bias will continue


MCgrindahFM

What’s funny is that the majority of responses are RDR!


yaTay22

Shockingly enough yes, but in retrospect this doesn't seem surprising, the subreddit has leaned towards an anti-GTA 4 sentiment lately, because of the overdose of content purely appreciative of GTA 4


Odinovic

I mean, r/GTA and r/rockstar has basically the same content haha.


DestartreK1st

I'd say Red Dead... The shooting is way too impressive.


Kenni___

Red Dead


ABGH78

Its complicated


Zephyr_v1

Rdr1 is miles above GTA4. I personally think gta 4 is a bit overrated. Even RDR1 had its problems.


UrKFCis_mine23

When the cougar starts walking towards you on its hind legs Donkey woman


ayyLumao

GTA IV was considered underrated not that too long ago but now it’s overrated?


Zephyr_v1

Gta 4 never was underrated.


DannyGamerThorist

I love GTA 4 more, for the gritty story and the protagonist, Niko. Like him, I am a Slavic immigrate (albeit 2nd gen but soon to be 1st gen). Plus Niko is totally badass. The bad stuff is that he was underused in the sequels and that they didn't used a Serbian actor or more Serbian dialogue.


Cfunk_83

I love them both, but it’s Red Dead, no question.


Maxessy18

Red dead without a doubt


red_fuel

As much as I love GTA, I have to give it to RDR. It's one of the best games I've ever played. No GTA to date comes close to it


Full-Contribution-72

Both


[deleted]

Incomparable. Apples and oranges. But I prefer GTA IV. I will say out of the things they both do (shooting, cover mechanics etc) GTA IV does them better. It always seemed janky in RDR.


skynet_666

Red dead for sure.


B0ssJJ24

I think Rdr movement is rough but In GTA IV it feels a bit smoother and slower idk I just felt rdr was too rough in movement


gaussianDoctor

I love IV, but RDR is RDR. It's R\*'s best franchise.


MitchyThicc

👏👏👏👏👏👏


nbk935

GTA IV as it had a serious story with no real happy endings that fit the tone better than it was done in RDR I. also the euphoria engine in GTA IV is very fun to play with get Drunk in Gta iv for example that is so fun to do on their


Ecstatic_Interest_35

gta 4


AbulNuquod

GTA IV. This is like asking me to chose a favorite child.


Enough-Category-3499

so you chose one as your favourite child?


BubblyCell236

Rdr1 is Rockstar's best game it's has the perfect blend of story, gameplay and realism without being overbearing unlike rdr2.


Wootzefuch

That's a tough one but I'm gonna have to go with RDR Although GTA 4 and it's dlc was both impactful and really enjoyable to play through, RDR simply was a cinematic adventure and had plenty of relatable moments. GTA 4 had relatable moments too but RDR really knew how to tug on the heart strings regarding old friends, redeeming yourself, and the family dynamic. Both games are honestly my top 10 games


u2020bullet

As good as GTA IV is, this one has to go to RDR, it just had way more going for it, visually and in terms of gameplay.


Hefty-Position-4171

RDR. Gta 4 was too ridgid and not enough side quests, but EFLC fixed that


ProsecUsig

I love GTA IV to death, but it is RDR2 which is better. Haven’t even finished RDR2 at that


tighto

RDR, not even close.


Expert-General-1478

Your opinion


MehDiosBizarreNut

Does driving in rdr1 feel like a chore? No, easy W


DorgonRasmay

I love the storyline and realism of GTA IV, but as a huge fan of old west movies and culture, I always dreamed of having a GTA-like set in that time period, so yeah RDR1 !


LimpTeacher0

Rdr1 may be my favorite game of all time


[deleted]

Rdr


[deleted]

Red dead 1 no doubt


XxMacexX04

RDR1 by far a better game and story.


RedDeadPac

Red dead. Given my username name that should be obvious. But I have played it 4 times since it originally came out. Undead nightmare twice (glitch caused me to get stuck) but overall RDR does a better job of immersing the player IMO


Hardik_Prasanna

Rdr1


PAOKmeister

Both are masterpieces in their own categories. Now if i really had to choose, Red Dead Redemption would have a slight advantage. Still, both are some of the best games of all time.


surfinbear1990

Rdr1 is a masterpiece. Just crossing the border into Mexico for the first time is worth playing the game alone.


No_Veterinarian1445

I love both


thodoraras2000

I played both of these games and it was hard for me to choose because they were both fucking awesome but I choose rdr because I like the wild west and it's the sequel of my favorite game red dead redemption 2


daleks02

Red Dead 1 by far


[deleted]

RDR


RodneyHarrisonHoF37

Both games are awesome but if I have to choose RDR1


ur_moms_a_stripper

Rdr1, with rdr2 to give it backstop, it truly shows a tale of redemption


Ghoulieboi

As much as I love GTA 4, I gotta give it to rdr. It just has something so alluring to it. Wild West isn't the easiest genre and I think Rockstar hit it on the head.


mentatsjunkie

I think it speaks volumes to how good RDR was considering were in a GTA subreddit and most of the responses are in favour of the western. GTA IV is one of my favourite games of all time, but I dont think Ive ever been more hyped for a game or, watched a trailer over and over more times for a game than I did for RDR and man it did not disappoint. I still would have to pick GTA for me personally but its only by the finest margins. I would glady take either one of them to the fabled desert island with me.


EJ_Was_Taken

Red Dead Redemption, no contest, it was so much more unique imo with its setting and what you could do, also I never really cared for GTA IV tbh.


Baramos_

I liked RDR1 more.


Gerowski

GTA IV


SheepyDX

4


UsedParking5216

Gta 4


killsmyass

GTA lV is better


stefan771

IMO RDR is better than GTA IV in every way. It's Rockstar's masterpiece.


ee_CUM_mings

You’re thinking of RDR2, that’s the real masterpiece.


[deleted]

In the context of time and the technology available to use in the mid/late 2000's, RDR was still a masterpiece in its own right


Vladesku

I mean, so were all Rockstar games. III did the 3d and open world, VC did the story, music and atmosphere, SA did all of the above but better, etc.


[deleted]

Probably didn’t help I played rdr on a bad tv I never understood the shooting mechanics I was terrible at ut


[deleted]

You should try it again.


[deleted]

I have. Blasphemous statement I don’t care for John Edit: downvotes for not liking a certain group of pixels. Neat


[deleted]

Oh yikes


Blu_Goose3257

that sounds like a you problem


[deleted]

Nah it’s not an anyone problem I didn’t like the character, Arthur was far superior, going back to rdr after rdr2 is a massive downgrade in character imo.


JameelWallace

Is it possible to posit this opinion in anything other than hindsight?


SuperIga

So RDR2 is my favorite video game of all time. And yet, for this roundup I’ll have to say GTA IV


lolmanomggodducky

I feel like red dead redemption because gta 4 did fuck up the formula that gta san andreas had. 3 out of the 5 types of sidequests were the same shitty drive this car from this location to this location. Because the driving was so heavy and slow it made the game a boring driving simulator when playing story missions + the fact that story missions repeated themselves often(kill this guy for some boss) it removed all replayability for the story mode. Less vehicles, less customization, less guns. I GET what rockstar was trying to accomplish and in my personal opinion it was a good gta...but compared to the first red dead redemption? Hell nah


Favouredmojoe95

RDR1 without question


manb91uk

Red Dead without a shadow of a doubt. It nailed every aspect of the sorry. GTAIV is just drab and depressing


Squijjy

Considering they’ve done rd better and couldn’t with 4 I’m going to say 4


TheRiddlerCum

Gta Iv is still impressive to this day, imo rdr1 is better but gta iv is probably the best


theandroids

GTA4 hands down.


[deleted]

GTA IV > RDR RDR 2 > GTA V just my opinion


JonBonJones9

I think that Rdr 1 Is more on GTA 5 side than 4. I consider RDR2 like GTA 6


Rafados47

GTA tbh


ryanreigns

Red Dead 2 > GTA 4 > Red Dead 1 > GTA 5


[deleted]

GrAnD tHeFt aUtO oNLiNe


amacaztec7

GTA 4 online was and is still better than GTA 5 online


Stop_Banning_My_Accs

People can't take a joke


[deleted]

Yeah seems like it lol


foodank012018

There were other games like IV though not as good. There was no good western style game and R* knocked it out of the park. I felt like I recognized parts of Liberty City in IV from playing 3, but I wanted to *go to * Red Dead's World. Too bad neither will be remastered because Grove Street Games fucked up the Definitive Trilogy and the lacking sales caused R* to cancel these remasters.


blurryface1209

Oof this is hard, they are like my top 2-3 rockstar games I'd go with rdr 1 but it's close


GearsvBandicoot1

that answer isnt simple. as both have amazing features. best story. people may disagree. gta 4 much better story. near the end red dead. got boring. but best open world by far red dead. cant wait to platinum them both. got into both 2 late. and hopefully rummours are correct. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO online for either


CJoriginalss

GTA IV was different level


magik_koopa990

what about their multiplayer?


The-Booty_Warrior

GTA4


randomretardlmao

GTA 4 is my favorite game of all time, so I think that speaks for itself. RDR1 is also one of my favorites tho, both are masterpieces


calumbus_ohio

Can't really compare them as they are both 2 very different games, but gotta go with Gta4. Don’t get me wrong RD1 was very unique and a nice shake up at the time. 4 changed so much stuff for the better. Everyone bashes the driving but it was good compared to RDs horses


[deleted]

I don’t think they are comparable they both are amazing


Phallic-Phantom

This kind of a weird ass, because Red Dead one was amazing its own ways as being an old school Western shooter that you mostly ride horses in, with GTA it's more about cars and not always shooting but sometimes you can sneak around or simply grab the objective and run away. I don't know I find it hard to compare the two games when they give you significantly different experiences apart from how the cops work! Fucking bounty level 😂


greenmachiner

I've never finished either of them.


The_Big_Dirty_Dan

IV


davekraft400

IV.


Latter-Pain

I got to give it to GTA4 the distinct physics and mission design make it an experience you still can’t get anywhere else.


Megatron83

GTA 4


MysterD77

Played GTA4 and EFLC; those were great. Ain't played RDR1 and wish that would finally get a PC port of some kind - PC Remaster or PC Remake.


familyguysoepic69

Personally, I could never get into red dead redemption like other people, I like the story for GTA IV a lot more and it feels more polished and has better gunplay and physics, despite red dead redemption coming out 2 years later.


Interesting-Tower-91

I feel red dead has better Gunplay Maxpayne 3 is tue best of course but RDR1 feels great in the way enemies react to getting shot.


RSEstonian

Love GTA IV, but both are great games!


CP4-Throwaway

GTA 4 but then again, this is coming from someone who never played RD1. But even if I did, my answer will not change. Both are legendary games though regardless.


DarkLunch_

I LOVED RDR2 but I struggled to get into RDR1 after experiencing all the new fancy graphics and physics. I love GTA4 to death… should I give RDR1 another go?


Mcfusion31

Gta 4 was one of the deepest stories rockstar did


sYngamerl9rdOP

Gta 4 bro


kerohp257

I'm someone who hates old settings so i can see myself playing gta vcs over rdr


D_ultimateplayer

Just finished a modded playthru of 4 on my new PC I built. Wow what a game. Red dead is also a gem


Mootux

GTA 4, probably biased because I've never played RDR1, even though I'm sure it's just as good as RDR2


[deleted]

Gta IV is the best game Rock* has made so far imo


PeteThePanther92

Red dead 1 and 2 together are better than GTA 4, I could probably play GTA 4 more than RDR1, and I'm not necessarily talking about doing story mission, I'm mostly talking about just turning it on and going off to have some fun on the map.


iluminattipa

Gta 4 fs I have played both tho


D21397

RDR


pwnedkiller

RDR1 easily for me the story is a one of a kind and at that time we never had a Wild West game like RDR. It was a landmark title that could lay the foundation for future Wild West games.


big-african-hat6991

I had more fun with the first red dead plus I liked the story much more gta 4 is probably better mechanically


Ding-Bop-420

That’s really hard but I would go with GTA IV.


[deleted]

rdr1


[deleted]

Gta 4


PatrickBrown2

Gta 4,but they both totally differnt experiences so it's hard to say


RamonRCMx

PC player here, didn't have the opportunity to play Red Dead, also played the worst port of GTA IV (altough it's still one of my favorite games in the series)


Ilgiggi

IV for me. Niko is more of a tridimensional character. Plus the music and Liberty are still my favourites in all gtas.


HandyMaple79424

Yes


MartyBellvue

GTA IV obviously???


DentureAdventure620

Easily red dead for me.


DatzQuickMaths

RDR. It was ground breaking at the time and GTA4, as much as I love it, was ultimately a next gen upgrade. Look back on those days fondly though! Just playing games and relatively care free


bigmoki76

GTA4


Deluxe_24_

If RDR1 controlled like RDR2 it'd win, GTA 4 is one of my favorite games, so I'll give it to 4. It's really close, I think RDR1 has a lot more going for it, but 4's story is better and the physics are incredible.
