Weird, I was just wondering if I should buy RDR and came looking for reviews and previews. First thing I see is "Why you should buy RDR".

Wildlife was one thing missing from all the GTA games. They should have at least had dogs and police dogs, but in parks they should have varied it up. In Canada we have police on horses, I don't know about the states. Shooting a cop off a horse and riding it around in GTA would have been phat!

deadreckoning6665098d ago

Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't buy RDR if it got an 11/10 in a every review. The Wildwest theme isn't for me.

e3kehoe5098d ago

Why bother posting/ reading about it

poindat5098d ago

Unfortunate, but understandable. I think for me, it is the opposite: it's been such a long time since there has been a decent wild west themed game, let alone with this much freedom, exploration, and detail. Just the fact that it is based in the wild west makes me excited for it. I'm always looking for new worlds to explore (which is why I absolutely love open-world games), and this is certainly something new for me.

You should at least rent the game though. You never know, despite your dislike towards the general theme, the gameplay could end up grabbing you.

deadreckoning6665098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

@e3- I wanted to give my opinion. Mine wasn't positive or negative. It was adverse...hence, an adverse opinion, an opinion stating that I don't care. Look it up when u get a chance :)

@poindat- Well, I agree that the gameplay may grab me but I'd rather hold out till Rockstar makes a game that matches(or surpasses) the fun, versatility, and freedom of GTA: San Andreas, hopefully Agent will do this. Not saying RDR is bad, but a modern setting would give me more options(tanks, planes, modern weapons, boats, jets, cars)

Nolando5098d ago

the reason i will buy it is because it seems to be a western done right!... for people who like westerns ;)

i cant wait, alan wake and red dead for me this month WOOOT!

i think it'll be pretty good, just wish i could afford it .

Cevapi885098d ago

i remember the same articles that did the exact same thing for gta IV....remember one of them being realism, and now it seems to have become a con in the game...how about just letting gamers decide if they want it or not...everyone has their own personal taste and some will find RDR more fun and engaging than others...

MGRogue20175098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

I have already bought it.. It just isn't in the store for me to pick up & buy lol

Colonel-Killzone5098d ago

If I'm interested then I will buy it plain and simple and I believe that should be the reason gamers buy their games in general if its whether they like it or not. I like what I see so I'm gonna rent it then buy it. I believe thats the best way to do things.

Alcohog5098d ago

Wow. That was terribly written lol...

xtremexx5098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

i know lol but im 13 and im not great at english :(

by the way i own the website lol

poindat5098d ago

You know, normally I would say that you should mature before becoming involved in such matters... but damn, the best I could do at 13 was make a Xanga profile, haha. Props to you for the effort.

Rucury5098d ago

It's weird. I feel the need to say "You're 13? Get out." but what comes out is "I'm 15. Good job."

Keep doing what you are doing, I guess.

bjornbear5098d ago

at 13 i played with web design and failed...

then again, i was 13 almost a decade ago, the tools were worst, but still, good job =)

still, work on them writing skills!

divideby05098d ago

Replayability and Value are why you should buy this game IF you like these open types of games..

Doc Sony5098d ago

I'm gonna buy this to do my part and add to the amount it sold on the PS3, probably won't even play it.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5098d ago

What kind of ''player'' do that?

R_aVe_N5098d ago

lol I think I have done that in some way. I have bought games and still haven't gotten around to playing them, but that was not the reason i bought them. Still funny though 8)

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming18d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long18d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10118d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor18d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno18d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast32d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg32d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai48d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos48d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8948d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg32d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
