Sure, the usual resource dumps are here chewing up frames as you’d expect (shadows and volumetrics come to mind), but other settings can eat upwards of fifteen-percent or more of your performance with a single slide to the right in quality. While the game may feature thirty-nine different graphical settings for players to tweak, and a preset slider with 21 options based around your specific GPU, it doesn’t exactly communicate the exact performance impact of each. It can also be a bit disingenuous, concerning what sort of performance you should expect at certain settings.
#Red dead redemption pc review Pc#
Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC is a resource hog, if you allow it to be. Red Dead was a technical showcase one year ago, and with its debut on the much more capable PC platform, Rockstar felt this was as fine a time as any to allow the game to punish whatever hardware you threw at it.Īnd trust me when I say punish is the right word. Of course, there were all sorts of tricks and technical wizardry employed by Rockstar to get this massive of a game looking so damn fine, like the intelligent use of depth of field to mask the game’s level of detail pop-in, or using reduced shadows and volumetrics that still managed to give each environment a distinctly realistic look while maintaining a mostly stable thirty frames-per-second across the breadth of the experience (though, the bustling city of Saint Denis often strained even the Xbox One X). Even on a base PS4, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 planted its feet firmly on the ground, and screamed far and loud it was the best damn looking world ever crafted in a video game. Stampeding across the open plains of the Heartlands into the foggy swamps and bayous of Lemoyne upon horseback often felt transcendent, as the wide landscape of wild grass and rolling hills gave way to muddy trails and dense fog in what felt natural in transition. Last year Rockstar reaffirmed its continued dominance as the best developer of open-worlds in the industry, with Red Dead Redemption 2 not only being one of the most graphically beautiful games on console, but featuring a world that was slavishly, if not a touch over-indulgently, detailed. Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC is the best way to play, if you have the hardware to run it. After spending the last week with Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC it has proven itself the premier way to experience the game, but there are a few caveats. But, the flames have been largely quieted via multiple updates, and it seems more people are able to get into the game and see for themselves if this port is worth their time and money. And, to be absolutely honest, the first week essentially was. From issues that kept people from opening the game, the new Rockstar launcher imploding and pulling folk out of the game, the game itself crashing, and general confusion and debate over the overall optimization of the game, you’d be forgiven for assuming Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PC has been a dumpster fire. Like the Van Der Linde gang fleeing east, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC has had a rocky, if not tumultuous, start.
