It’s a great game and I’m so glad I finally got to play it.
I’m running a RTX 2070 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 32 gigs of RAM. Using Xenia-Canary I could run the game at 1080p with decent framerate, but that caused some really unpleasant brightness issues at night, so I stuck with 720p and honestly stopped noticing the low resolution after a while. The game ran at a stable 60 all the way to the end and I encountered absolutely no issues besides some flickering shadows once or twice.
If you have a decent gaming PC and have never played the original RDR I strongly recommend you try this. It can be a bit of a faff to find what emulator settings work for you, but once you get it working properly, it’s an absolute blast. RDR still holds up really well in my opinion.
Yep, the open world is all there. If you’ve done the post game in RDR 2 where you get the new areas to explore (Blackwater and everything west of it), that’s all from RDR 1. The first game also includes Mexico which is only accesible in RDR2 with glitches or mods
