Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare Coming to iOS on Dec 2

[Tig_one]

The game will be released on Android, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2 too so with your logic all that can be said about those platforms too.

All these platforms release AAA games on a regular basis, so your point is moot.

3d console games are nice. But some of us want more treadmill games that can be played with simple taps while listening to music walking on the treadmill. While they may exist already, I think apple should do a better job of promoting the idea and marketing it. Maybe make an app store collection of games specifically designed as treadmill games to be played while walking on the treadmill and listening to music.

Apple Arcade is full of those games you want.

They aren’t AAA titles so no thanks

I’d add that it is RDR2, not RDR1, that is considered one of the best, if not THE best, “open world games ever”.

By whom, you? Same company but a different game that is: GTA

No Mac or Apple TV support is a non-starter. An open world game this complex will be a pain to play on a 6-inch screen.

I’m sorry but that’s kinda funny, you can use a remote controller with your iPhone & AirPlay it to an Apple TV to watch on your biggest screen. We did this with Death Stranding & an iPhone 15 Pro. It was ****ing beautiful. Now we kept the iPhone plugged into power & sandwiched it between to ice packs to keep it cool. But I’d guess that ice would not be needed with the iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max. We bought a PS5 to play Death Stranding II, but quality wise I didn’t see much difference for most of the games. 😉

Hardly. I've played GTA: SA many times with zero issues.

There'll be a learning curve for sure however

You played using a controller or just screen prompts ??

Actually that game (or something like it) needs to exist on Vision Pro or another high def headset if it doesn’t already. That would be epic

Shadow and last guardian definitely..

Team ICO is where it’s at!

This screenshot looks like a PS3 game.

Because it is

I’d prefer a Mac port, to be honest. These are “big screen” games. Hopefully one is in the works.

Agreed. Even so, it is an excellent game, I remember playing it on the 360.

Nice. I do kinda wish they'd add all donut games, partner with get set games to bring back all of their whole suite of games, even the remakes like monsters Inc run etc. I know mega run finally came back. I actually wish they'd release it again on android as well but I digress. Also would like ninja town trees of doom, chop chop ninja and related. Super cat bros is cool.

Once available, will try it out on my 17 Pro Max and see how well it performs on my new iPhone.

Any love for visionOS?

If they're going to go through the trouble of making an iOS port, why not do a little bit more and release it for iPadOS and especially the Mac?

I suspect that it will work fine on iPads. From my experience, iOS-only releases like this are far and few between. I think part of the confusion comes from iOS for iPad being renamed to iPadOS. For some strange reason, loads of software still insists on using iOS as an umbrella term. I could be wrong, though.

Oh neat, that’s a fun coincidence. Yesterday I picked up the PS3 version of RDR on disc for $6 from the thrift store.

I hope the modern port is good!

I hope you are right, but they would have to adjust the controls for every iPad from the mini to the 13-inch-ones. Not sure if they did that. But if they did, then I'll get it, because then I can play it on my 32-inch-display via USB-C and a controller. Mac version would be even better of course …

Red Dead is not Dead! Please do something with Red Dead Online R*!

Just looked on the App Store. It says “Works on iPad”, iPadOS 18 is required. Seems like you’re in luck.

My point is still valid and your post still doesn’t make much sense. You complain when an older game is getting released on both iOS and Android and you only have problem with the iOS release and Apple’s ”sad state”? You talk like no new games ever get released on iPhone/iPad. It’s Rockstar Games that has decided to release their ”old recycled” game with great reviews from both users and critics on mobile, not Apple. So you could also say that Rockstar is in a sad state, not Apple. Which game did you want to see on iOS instead of RDR?

Almost all mobile games are released for both iPhone and Android, if not more for iPhone. Many times games come first to iOS and later to Android, like Final Fantasy VII, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, XCOM 2, Rome: Total War, Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion and Tropico 3. Android doesn’t get AAA games ”on a regular basis”. There are several such games that have only iOS/iPadOS port. Does Android have Death Stranding, RE games, AC Shadows, AC Mirage, Control, Sniper Elite 4 and Beyond a Steel Sky? Besides didn’t they say AAA games don’t sell well on iPhone/iPad, so why port? That’s also a reason for those AAA games not being on Android.

It’s all right to complain about some new games not coming to iOS (are there any?) but to complain about old games coming when there are already new and AAA games on iOS is just sad, especially when we’re talking about a very popular franchise like RDR.

So then if Apple creates a big hit game and makes tons of money then game developers could sue them for being anti-competitive. 🤣😜 APPLE the company thats has deep pockets to just give away money for lawsuit happy Lawyers.
Why would Apple get into this mess?
