Red Dead Redemption has not been released officially on the PC, however it appears that an unofficial remake is already happening. This remaster, called Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project, will be based on the Xenia/RPCS3 versions. However, only PC gamers will be able to enjoy this remaster.
The target of the project is set out to remaster and optimize the game for the PC. As such, Red Dead Redemption will run and look better, from within the Xenia/RPCS3 emulators.
Basically, the team aims to improve the visuals of the console versions via the Xenia and RPCS3 emulators. This basically means that we’ll get higher quality textures, UI/UX menu elements, and in-game HUD. The team also plans to bring draw optimizations, shader and model updates, and other features.
It’s a pretty interesting concept and since the modders will be improving the game itself, Rockstar Games will not be able to shut it down. After all, this project will require the game itself to run.
In order to showcase the new visuals, the team released its first screenshots that you can find below. As we can clearly see, Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project looks absolutely gorgeous.
I’m really curious to see whether the modders will work with the RPCS3 and Xenia teams in order to improve the game’s performance. From what we’ve seen so far, neither Xenia nor RPCS3 can run Red Dead Redemption at full speed. As such, it will take a while until we play this fan-made remaster.However, I’m pretty sure that it will be worth the wait.
The team has also released a reveal trailer for Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project that you can find below. Do note, however, that its version is a bit old.
Enjoy!
