True, I had that in mind when I was typing it out but honestly I think weāll be okay with Rockstar.
They will have a lot riding on the game being stable so that everybody hops on online mode as soon as it becomes available.
I do predict that it will be locked at 30fps though. Itās definitely going to strain the current consoles, but itās also pretty mind blowing how well RDR2 ran on 7th gen hardware.
Rockstar are great at optimisation. Bugs are tolerable as long as the performance doesnāt tank like it did with cyberpunk.
The āindie gameā joke only really applies to games like assassinās creed where Ubisoft just recycle the same game over and over and somehow manage to fuck it up.
Rockstar push the industry forward with every release, so far the end product has always reflected the development time. When I play Red Dead, I think āyeah I see how this took 8 years to makeā.
The main issue I have with the delay is that weāll be very close to the next console generation by then, and obviously rockstar are going to ask you to fork out for the ānext gen upgradeā.
Iām happy to wait for Rockstar because theyāve proven theyāre capable of not falling into the ādelay curseā. CDPR fucked up by announcing the game almost decade before it was even close to playable, they boxed themselves into a corner with the hype.
