RDR2 - the future

From time to time we've had some remastered games; I just had the brilliant idea while commenting on someone's Youtube video of RDR2, and someone else was talking about playing RDR because it's awesome, even though it'll feel "primitive" after playing RDR2—unless it was remastered as a DLC!

Now, that's probably more work than all that; the legendary animals, for instance, will have to be redone because they were already a part of RDR2, etc.  But what if the story missions of the original RDR, the Nuevo Paraiso area, and a bunch of new legendary animals, bounties, stranger missions, and whatnot were added as a major DLC?  They've already done a ton of the work by adding most of the original map back into the game, transitioning during the epilogue from Arthur to John, moving the timeline up several years so that it's quite close to the timeline of the original RDR game, etc.  It even looks like much of the Nuevo Parasiso modeling is in place; it just needs to be detailed.

How cool would that be?

Turns out that after I thought of that idea, a lot of people have already found that there are reasons (they think) to believe that it's coming.

Because Rockstar needs to make money, it's likely that it'll be a DLC you have to buy rather than get for free; but that's still worth doing.  I'd pay for it.
