Last month, we reported that a Red Dead Redemption PC Unofficial Remaster Project was in the works, aiming to improve the game's visuals on the RPCS3 and Xenia emulators. The project was a long way from releasing, and sadly this will not be happening at all now, as development has been halted for good.
Modder DamnedDev confirmed that development has been halted as Take-Two got in touch with him and demanded the whole project be shut down. As this was supposed to be a simple graphics pack, Take-Two stance on the project feels too severe.
Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project aimed to improve not only graphics but also the in-game HUD and much more.
Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project is a direct modification of a Xenia/RPCS3 (X360) (PS3) versions of the game, running on x64 Windows PC platforms with redefined graphical elements in high quality, including but not limited to;
textures, UI/UX menu elements, in-game HUD, draw optimizations, shader and model updates, Alpha/Beta Stuff and many more.The target of the project is set out to remaster and optimize RDR to run and look better, from within the Xenia/RPCS3 emulators (https://xenia.jp/) (https://rpcs3.net/) on x64 Windows PC platforms and console level hardware, software compatibility support (e.g. Sony PlayStation 3, Xbox 360).
Red Dead Redemption is available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game’s sequel has been released on PS4 and Xbox One last year.
