Red Dead Revolver PS4 Version Released

Without any warning, Rockstar Games has released PlayStation 2 game Red Dead Revolver PS4 in Australia. US and Europe launch should happen tomorrow.

[PhoenixUp]

Not a lot of people liked Red Dead Revolver, but just watch some people band wagon on this game because of its more famous sequel

[MasterCornholio]

It's very different than its sequel.

[darthv72]

Played this on xbox, it was okay but the sequel is great.

[SmielmaN]

Loved red dead revolver. Totally out of the blue release!

[ion666]

gun is better. imo.

[KiwiViper85]

@ion666

That's my opinion too, but never been brave enough to say it.

[P_Bomb]

Hey, I liked it enough to buy it twice! Wasn't amazing but it was good. Took a risk, bringing attention back to the dead western genre, laying it down for Gun, Juarez and Redemption.

[fenome]

Gun was great, I loved that game.

[BrianOBlivion]

Me too, and if there's any kind of decent graphical improvements on the PS4, it looks as though I'll be picking it up and playing a third time round.

[IceKoldKilla]

@BrianOBlivion

All PS2 games on PS4 run at 1080p (60fps too? I forget.) and include trophies.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Really I remember playing this on ps2 when it originally came out and than on ps3 and I loved it

[G20WLY]

Me too, I also really liked Gun, albeit for different reasons. Both were a far shorter experience than Redemption, but that's not always a bad thing...I struggled midway through RDR and considered hanging up my spurs, but I persevered and saw it through. I'm glad I did, of course, or I would have missed that ending!

[NukaCola]

I read this is Red Dead Redemption damn it LOL

[zombiewombie]

I loved it, especially that menu music. The story was very confusing though.

[Artemidorus]

Don't forget they will be angry if it's not a 100+ game with season passes.

How dare they.

[S2Killinit]

And you felt you needed to make sure to let everybody know that their bandwaggon isnt justified because your opinion is more important than theirs. Got it.

[vickers500]

Ignore the hipster.

[CaptainObvious878]

I hope that means Redemption will be coming soon to PS4.

Also, Australia finally gets a bloody game first. We always seem to get games couple days after everyone else in the world.

[XanderZane]

Well M$ making Red Dead Redemption B/C on XB1 caused sales to rise almost 6000%. Let's see what this will do for RDR on PS3.

I believe Red Dead Revolver is B/C on the XBox 360. I remember playing it about 2 yrs ago. Decent game, but Red Dead Redemption is much, much better.

[Angeljuice]

Like apple juice is better than a Thursday afternoon?

[XanderZane]

@Angeljuice
Much better. lol!!

[NecoTehSergal]

I loved the game, was the only reason why I knew about the games' existence before Rockstar picked it up xD I remember beating it on the PS2 if I recall, I had the most powerful gun too.

[Christopher]

Never played it or really heard anything good about it.

[Angeljuice]

It's a good, high quality, fun action shooter. I loved it.

(Now you have).

[Nathan_Hale53]

I enjoyed Revolver, although I don't really feel the need to buy and replay it. RDR is a sequel that is 100x better. Such a great game.

[Yetter]

I used to love the gun duels

[Brotard]

Remember playing through this on ps2 and loved every second of it. Was at first salty by how many people talked about the sequel because I was a purest little shit. But I learned to love redemption!

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Red Dead Redemption isn't a sequel to RDR, it's more of a reboot.

[BrianOBlivion]

@PhoenixUp
Unlike you seem to be able, I can't speak for a single other person, but i can say that Red Dead Revolver was one of my favourite games on the PS2. I'm pretty sure I came to that conclusion long before the PS3 came out.

[Angeljuice]

I loved revolver, the sense of humour was spot on. Redemption was a completely different game, they aren't really the same genre (both Western themed, but one is a level based comedy/action shooter and the other is a Cowboy sandbox ).

[SkippyPaccino]

Man that game was tough... Lol! Good times

[InTheLab]

I loved this game. Was so unique before they turned it into gta

[Deep-throat]

I want the Xbox version, the PS2 was inferior.

[2pacalypsenow]

You can still play it on Xbox as long as you still have one, problem solved

[XanderZane]

You can play it on the XBox 360 as well. It's B/C. Seems some people disagreed with me on this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

[TheCommentator]

If I remember right, the only difference between the Xbox and PS2 versions was a tiny bit of GFX. That means that the PS4 version, looking the best, would now be the best, right? Unless you're actually talking about having the Xbox version on the XB1 I'm not sure I follow.

[Gecksta]

Was shit then and is shit now.

[Perjoss]

worthwhile comment right there

[Fishy Fingers]

His opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong that's exactly what the comment section is for. Had he said:

'Great then, great now' would it of made any difference?

[TheUndertaker85]

@Fishy Fingers: Yes. People like ass kissers. Not kickers.

[Perjoss]

Earth, 2016. Where people rush to defend someone that craps all over other peoples hard work.

[2pacalypsenow]

kinda like your comment

[Kurt Russell]

Agreed, certainly won't hold up now. Redemption was so much a better game.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

Really? wow!

[sullynathan]

lol N4G, if this guy was saying this game was good you would be agreeing with him. It probably wasn't.

[IIFloodyII]

It's like people can agree or disagree with different opinions, crazy.

[sullynathan]

n4g users don't have opinions, they are part of a hivemind

[Angeljuice]

"It probably wasn't"

It was a high quality title, one of the best on the PS2.
It was in no way "shit", it isn't really a valid viewpoint without extrapolation. It smells of someone who never played it.

If someone said Uncharted 4 was "shit", you probably wouldn't take it seriously without more of an explaination. Same thing.

[JackBNimble]

Well I played it and I thought that it was total shit.
But does anyone care what I think ? Probably not because games are subject ...

[sullynathan]

@AngelJuice I doubt it was a high quality title. People here like to inflate the quality of unknown old games, as you can see by the amount of disagrees that OP got.

Of course I wouldn't take it seriously if someone said UC4 was shit.

[XanderZane]

You've never played it. Definitely wasn't shit. It wasn't anywhere as good as Red Dead Redemption either. It was still a fun game though. Hard as hell some times.

[ironcrow2386]

Never actually got to play revolver..can anyone tell me if its worth getting ☺

[MetalGearsofWar]

It's not like Redemption. But its a fun shooter.

[BiggCMan]

Hell yea it's worth playing. It's better than Redemption for me because it embraces the batshit insanity of that era and is basically a comedy game. Rockstar used to make games like that back then, now their games are all grown up which is fine, but it's just not them. So to me Revolver is way better because of it's silliness and arcadey gameplay. Also think GTA has not been very good since the PS2 days.

[InTheLab]

Revolver was unique. Redemption was gta with horses and better story. Buying this when it's out and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this opinion

[InTheLab]

It's basically like Call of Jaurez Bound in Blood but has a cool quick draw mechanic and bizarre characters. Great game if you love westerns.

[Majister-Ludi]

Not when redemption is readily available.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

The music was great but the game had some serious control issues especially when it came to fisticuffs.

[CorndogBurglar]

Lol "fisticuffs".

Such a good word.

[EazyC]

Dammit, I thought it was RD Redemption when I saw it first and got that tingly feeling, followed by the insta-disappointment, anyone else!?

[ApolloTheBoss]

Aw yeah. That's a good sign right there. Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead 3 are imminent.

[Scrivlar]

Loved this and Gun when I was younger for the western feel. They're too old now though, we need that RDR 2 now please

[TWB]

On the topic of PS2 classics...

I would kill for God Hand on PS4.

[yeahokwhatever]

I want GT3 and GT4.

[Fist4achin]

I couldn't finish it due to the controls. They could reboot this as well as redemption and have two different running stories. Could be cool.

[ocelot07]

Ill be buying this. I remember enjoying it but I can hardly remember anything of it. Only that I enjoyed it.

[SgtPepper1806]

Redemption on Xbox One and Revolver on PS4. We know Rockstar are working on something, SO JUST SHOW THE DAMN GAME!

[Circuitburnout]

Boom!

[brianunfried]

Not a bad action game, but I would much rather have Darkwatch.

[Judochopjames]

First RDR on xbox one and now this. Red Dead 3 announcement must be imminent.

[Judochopjames]

Also, it seems reasonable to assume they're planning on releasing it in time for the holiday season. The best reason to re-release Red Dead Revolver now is to capitalize on the hype that would be created from a RDR3 is coming soon announcement, so people will want to play the old ones in preparation.

[gbsrnctaln]

I enjoyed this game more than Redemption. Revolver feels looks and plays much more like a "video game" than the realism of Redemption.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Red dead revolver was great back in the day, i dont know why people are acting like it was a nbad game.

[Garyp]

Sounds interesting.

[Rebel_Scum]

I'm on the Australian site and do not see it.

[JamesBondage]

just read the revolver, thought it was redemption.. :(

[thejigisup]

amazing!!!!

[fanboysmackdown]

Ha....this is great, I loved that game, especially the boss battles.

[Dan_scruggs]

Finally the game everyone was asking for...

[Doja]

Didn't know socom was a western.

[TheColbertinator]

Can they release Gun too?

[NoPeace_Walker]

$15 for it? You got to be kidding me.

[EpicSandwich]

Revolver is a poor man's redemption

[Orionsangel]

Is Rockstar Trolling us at this point? lol

[Mega_Volnutt]

I stll have this game on the PS2. My dad bought it to me because it reminded him of Clint Eastwood golden times. Great memories. The first level when his Pops die was kinda sad tho.
