I have to give credit to Rockstar. They managed to not even reach even my lowest expectations.

Rockstar is the prime example on why backwards compatibility is so useful, as it stops companies from rereleasing a 10+ year old game without major improvements and charge a premium to play it.

This is one of your best games ever made, and after a decade, you just made a port only for PS4 and Switch. Not even on PC. Never fails to disappoint Rockstar.

I loved it when Dutch said “I have a port, John.” and released a lazily made port of a thirteen year old game

[KingMoon]

$49.99 for a 13 year old game. Truly a Rockstar moment

[goattea]

Wow. I can’t believe I actually thought for once they’d treat this masterpiece with the respect it deserves. What happened to you Rockstar?

[The_Punisher_]

It's actually impressive that you guys went from the best and most respected game studios, that could never disappoint in any way, to the worst most disrespectful game studio that can never NOT disappoint.

PC port - No
Significant graphical changes - No
Price 50$ - Yes

[CornusXBL]

My expectations for Rockstar are so low and they still manage to disappoint its truly incredible

[TyCal_]

A lot of people seem to think this is low effort and I respectfully disagree. It takes a lot of effort to perfect the art of disappointing your fans the way Rockstar does.

Dan Houser WAS Rockstar. You're clearly nothing without him.

For those who still have faith in Rockstar -

the company that owns Rockstar aka Take2 also owns 2K, which stands behind Mafia. Mafia is a game from 2002. It was remade in 2020 for a whooping price of $40, with completely new gameplay, one of the best graphics I saw in a triple A game, and with dedication to the story and their fans. This was done under the watch of Take2.

In short, Take2 talks much less into the companies pricing and products than you think. This is purely Rockstar's laziness and greediness. I would honestly not be surprised if Rockstar went down Volition's path in the future.

"Remastering has always been a part of the strategy. We’ve done differently than the competition – we don’t just port titles over, we actually take the time to do the very best job we can making the title different for the new release, for the new technology that we’re launching it on."

Actual quote from the rockstar owner, made 2 years ago.

This is pretty impressive. You made Ubisoft and EA look like good companies.

[Splash]

man you guys did AMAZING, you had actual chances of NOT being seen as a joke but by god you make sure to take EVERY chance available to you in order to keep being one

Thank you for announcing the release of a 13 year old game onto a 10 year old console. Very nice of you, Rockstar!

[agents]

Now we need Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition and Max Payne 3 on PS4 and Switch. Also PLEASE give us PC port.

[GRXMES]

As a Rockstar fan and a Red Dead fan I’m utterly ashamed at what this company has become. This re-release is lacklustre and not what fans were hoping for. Rockstar… you never fail to disappoint.

[seanmcphail]

Rockstar used to be untouchable, now they never fail to disappoint
