In August 2019, we informed you about Red Dead Redemption Damned Enhancement; an overhaul mod for the X360 and PS3 versions of the first Red Dead Redemption game. This mod aimed to bring new graphical features to the game so that PC gamers could enjoy via both X360 and PS3 emulators. However, it appears that the project has been cancelled… again.
In September 2019, Take-Two attempted to shut down the project. Then, in November 2019, modder GamingDamned claimed that the development for this fan “remaster”of RDR has been resumed. However, Take-Two has now filled a lawsuit at a New York court against a Johnathan Wyckof.
As the lawsuit reads, Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project will dramatically change the RDR2 experience. Not only that, but it will also reduce interest in purchasing a future release of RDR1 or a RDR1 add-on map for RDR2. Do note that Take-Two and Rockstar have not announced anything yet about a possible PC release of the first Red Dead Redemption on the PC. Still, Take-Two claims that this mod will destroy the market for an official, updated version. Moreover, it will create competition for Take-Two’s PC-version of RDR2.
“Those unauthorized changes include importing the entire game map of 2010’s Red Dead Redemption into the 2018 game Red Dead Redemption II; enhancing graphics and visuals in Take-Two’s Red Dead Redemption game; allowing players to play an enhanced version of the game on personal computer. PC is a platform for which Take-Two itself has not yet released the Read Dead Redemption game.”
GamingDamned has edited his page on GTAForums, claiming that the project is no longer under development.

Yeah, glad i didnt waste money on this overrated rubbish.
“PC is a platform for which Take-Two itself has not yet released the Read Dead Redemption game”
Maybe, just maybe, that particular failing on Take-Two’s part is the root cause of the ‘problem’. Just saying…
Reason #37466489 why i dont buy any take 2 games anymore
hahaahahhah as expected. Also the first game was far better
brown sack of shet, your opinion is irrelevant.
if you’re a kind person, please tell someone to crack this video game so that i can play it for free, i don’t want to rob a store for a video game.
This ‘overhaul mod’ is simple preset for ReShade. Every idiot can do it, just patch exe file of Xenia/RPCS3 emulator, launch game and tweak texture sharpness, add bloom or whatever reshade effects you want. This ‘remaster’ will take you about 10 minutes.
Hey moron, this mod was going to change textures as well as improve the game’s LOD.
Cause insults are necessary. Nope… couldn’t have possibly delivered that information like a civil human being, had to act like a child to REALLY get that point across.
why do you cry about him insulting you? just insult him back.
That’s crying to you? You must be sensitive.
Why don’t I insult him back? I’m better than him. I’m also not an angry ***** who needs to take my frustrations out on randos online. My dad doesn’t beat me, I have a dad…take your pick.
you don’t need to be angry to insult others. you just seemed very upset over an internet comment, that’s all.
Not upset at all, just pointing out how ridiculous it is to immediately insult someone.
Generally speaking if you are having a “conversation” and 1 person just throws shade then that person has already lost the argument. It’s childish.
There is a time for an insult but this is an example of when not to.
My hope is if this is pointed out if even a single person gives it thought and changes how they talk to people and act a little more mature then I’d be happy.
what the hell are you on about? this isn’t 18th century english etiquette class.
people on the internet insult you not because they’re “losing” but because they can. all of our mothers have been shagged by thousands of people from different age groups on the internet and you’re worried about the manner of random people on the internet?
I know why people shitpost but there is a time and place for it. So when some asshat (like you) does it like the other jerk off did then it’s a sign of lacking maturity. This is a tech site not 4chan. Time to big puberty…bro
you’re absolutely pathetic, that or you’re 15.
Oh my… Yes absolutely pathetic because I prefer civil conversation and find randos who reply to a genuine post with nothing but bullshit to be pathetic dimwits.
Like I said, there is a time and place to shitpost. This was not one of those times and it simply shows incredible immaturity.
I’ll assume you’re genuinely smart enough to know what I’m talking about but you’re also just young enough to think shitposts everywhere are fun.
If anyone is pathetic..my man it’s actually you. The fact that you are defending him stamps you as such. His post and insult wasn’t even funny or creative. That would have been acceptable if it was funny and in good faith as a joke. Instead he just spewed childish bile… uncreative nonsense.
Pathetic… Indeed.
jesus, shut the fck up already you annoying pest, no one is going to read that.
Upvoting your own comments sure makes you look like a well adjusted adult, same goes for posting garbage comments with misinformation, because you didn’t even bother skimming the article.
Horrible I know… Way worse than randomly insulting people. Couldn’t have possibly been an accident or glitch either. Just not possible.
Well that’s stupid… I’d still play both. At least I can play rdr on Xbox one x at 4k. It’s a significant enhancement but I also wouldn’t mind a texture overhaul.
On a side note people need to stop announcing these projects until they are finished and released. If they need help they can recruit without the owner of the ip knowing.
Freaking Hell Take two sh*t
I was going to buy RDR2 when the non-gimped full version (as opposed to the Standard version) is available at a fair price but this action by Take-Two has now guaranteed I’ll be pirating it in due course.
I remember when they tried shafting the modding scene for GTA V before walking back on it due to the backlash. Not to be trusted!
As the lawsuit reads, Red Dead Redemption: Damned Enhancement Project will dramatically change the RDR2experience.
