Making RDR A Better Adventure
It’s All About The Immersion
“Reality Redemption” is still in active development so many aspects of the mod are ready for users, but some of it still needs to be finished.Completed features include improved reflection quality, smarter AI behaviors, upgraded Euphoria physics, an overhauled camera that behaves morelike it does inRed Dead Redemption 2, and better textures for everything from roads and grass toJohn Marston himself. Users can look forward to overhauled NPC and building textures, enhanced sky lighting and clouds, and better rain effects.
“Reality Redemption” is impressive in terms of its sheer scaleand the fact that it exists at all is great news for players. Despite many fans waiting over a decade to playRed Dead Redemptionon PC, the actual game itself could have had a little more work done to it to justify its high price tag. It still looks fantastic but if Rockstar wants to charge a premium price for a remaster, it should have done a littlemore to improve the experience.
