Everyone that I know that has a PS3 or a Xbox360 is getting this. It will be a must own for anyone who owns these consoles. Wow!....I really can't wait till tomorrow. I got my cowboy boots with spurs ready!

AAACE55131d ago

The only way I see this game not selling is if someone doesn't like westerns that much. Other than that, anyone who likes a good game will probably pick this up!

But you know the usual always happens... Someone who is used to playing single player games will love the game and feel like a god, then will go online and realize they are crap and then go around bashing the game every chance they get!

Anyway, i'll get it and love it and will have alot of fun with it!

sixaxis5131d ago

anyway, although it isnt hyped as much as GTA Iv, it does have pretty strong advertising, i think it will achieve 4 million with first 2 months. especially considering forexample AC2 did 6 million with a bit under 3 month (was it??), which doesnt have multiplayer.

krisq5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

Not everyone is a fond of westerns and it is new, not yet established IP. I'll be putting a nun on the tracks no doubt though. Can't wait for my dasterdly trophy! :D

Convas5131d ago

... but I'm just not ... interested in RDR. IS there something wrong with me? :'(

kingdavid5131d ago

Get it, play it, then tell me that :).

Cold 20005131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

Same for me, I'm not digging the whole "wild wild west" thing at all.Maybe because I'm European...I dont know.

Moreoevr Im not a sandbox lover. I prefer more linear, story driven games.

Hellsvacancy5131d ago

Oh like Call Of Duty and Halo *shakes Head*

Convas5131d ago

So ... Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 aren't linear, story driven games?

Your hypocrisy is showing. *shakes Head*

Cold 20005131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

First of all... why the fanboyish response ??? Its a mulltiplat game in case you forgot. Maybe all you have in May is RDR but that doesnt make it exclusive lmao.

I prefer jrpg's, adventure games, solo FPS's like Bioshock, Half Life etc. I'm a solo gamer, dont care too much about online and stuff. And sandbox games just arent my thing, too big, too much freedom, resulting in not very present stories.

Hellsvacancy5131d ago

CliZZ, when the hell did i (or anyone) mention KillZone 2 or Uncharted 2? (i dont even like the Uncharted series all that much) so your comment is void

And Cold, DONT u bloody well start acting all innocent all of a sudden, 90% of what you say has sum sort of fanboyish remark in it to some degree

My point is what more could you want from a game?, Red Dead looks like it has the lot imo

Half decent story (meaning i wont be skipping the cut-scenes like i did in GTAIV)

Interesting characters with believable voice-overs

Then theres the length of the game, multiplayer etc, it all equals WIN, even if you where to buy it second hand i dont think you should miss it

Convas5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

You're an idiot. Here let me break it down for you, using your own words.

"when the hell did i (or anyone) mention KillZone 2 or Uncharted 2?"

When the Hell did I (or anyone) mention Call of Duty or Halo? Cold said he agreed with me and stated that he preferred linear, story-driven games.

Then you, being the tool you are, come in trying to stir up the water talking about games that aren't even a part of the discussion. So please, cut the "I didn't do nothing" crap. You started this. And the only who's voided themselves is YOU.

you dont know how the west was won then. great history...

Indy-Pendent5131d ago

On top of that I am just sick of all the either futuristic or WW1 settings....It will be a refreshing change for me.

Inside_out5131d ago

Well, A LITTLE bit early to predict numbers don't you think...lol...

Pro's...Rockstar developer, open world...GTA clone...GTA sold well...

Con's...Western...Open world...Third person shooter...GTA clone...

Well I suspect it will sell well in North America...Not sure about anywhere else...Europe buys games that start with "Fi" and end in "Fa"...just saying...tho AW is at the top of the charts after 2 days...

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies1219d ago (Edited 19d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple10120d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa20d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming53d 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-Long53d 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_gaming53d ago

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

purple10152d 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

Skuletor53d 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.

CrimsonWing6953d 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_gaming53d 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.

Inverno53d 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_gaming52d ago

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