Red Dead Redemption remake hopefuls set themselves up for further heartbreak after Rockstar website update

Another Rockstar website update has hopes for a Red Dead Redemption remake or remaster running high once again, even though this is perhaps the thinnest 'hint' at the project we've seen yet.

While the notion of a new version of Red Dead Redemption with the "Rockstar Games Presents" branding was obviously enough to set hopes for a modern remake or remaster alight once more, there's just one problem: that logo isn't actually new at all. It's identical to the logo on the box of the original Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Red Dead Redemption, right down to the Rockstar Games Presents label over top.

Tez2 has historically been a pretty accurate source of Rockstar tips, and I don't doubt all this stuff is part of a recent website update, but I'm definitely not convinced it's a hint at a new version of Red Dead Redemption. Last year, Tez2 reported that
