Game Pro: Red Dead Redemption Review

Game Pro: In the fifteen hours it took me to clear Red Dead Redemption's expansive core campaign, the thing I found myself most surprised by was how consistently likable rough-and-tumble protagonist John Marston remained throughout. He's a stark contrast to Red Harlow, the star of 2004's Red Dead Revolver; that character was built in the mold of Clint Eastwood's "Man With No Name" and rarely spouted an unnecessary syllable. Marston, on the other hand, shares more in common with Unforgiven's tragic hero Bill Munney: he's a family man who is unceremoniously thrust back into a past life he can't leave behind. He's one of a dying breed of sunset riders who are facing extinction and are doomed to go out in a hail of gunfire.

Ahhh.. *faints* :)

UltraNova5117d ago

5/5 great score! Wait does gamepro give anything else than 5/5?

MGRogue20175117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

Hold up.. Hold up! O.o

Let's see here.. Right, They are reviewing the 360 version here.. Now check this out:

"CONS: Errand missions can get a bit tiring; occasional pop-in"

Notice that part..? "Occasional Pop-in"

I can remember a site who reviewed the PS3 version said that it had no pop-in at all.

Guys, PS3 version is the winner. :)

DelbertGrady5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

Jeez...

Better install it to the HDD then. Can't have "occasional pop-in on the errand missions" now can we? ;)

bjornbear5117d ago

you are motivating retarded 360 fans to troll all over the place in these articles

stop.

they are identical, one having extra content.

deal with it.

Gamer_Z5117d ago

I'm not going to say the PS3 version is better but i hope the rumors about it being sub hd are wrong.

SPARTANVI5117d ago

Or are you actually trying to convince people with Xbox360's to buy a PS3 just so they can play RDR without pop-ups (and perhaps in sub-720p)?

In due time you will realize how insignificant these moments of console-pride (not going to use the f-word) are to the rest of your life. Hint: Sony will not thank you...

But of course, if you do own Sony stock, or are employed by Sony, then carry on!

SPARTANVI5116d ago

With the facts? http://n4g.com/news/525730/...

Or with my commentary about how none of this will matter in life. Someone tell me how arguing about anything on an internet forum about console A vs. console B will have any significance in your life. Hell, I'm just wasting time..

JasonPC360PS3Wii5117d ago

I'll take once in a while pop in over no AA and super jaggies any day

nycredude5117d ago

15 hours? That's it!!! The core campaign is ONLY 15 hours! So side quests account for 50 hours!? I know the game will be great and I have it paid off but come on 15 hours!

Pennywise5117d ago

You know most of the time spent on this game will be online shooting faces off!

Aphe5117d ago

Whats wrong with 15 hours? Plus all the rest of the stuff you can do adds up to a hell of a lot of game for your money. Pfft, some people.....

bloodybutcher5117d ago

hey, remember gta4 and a trophy for getting through main story in less then 30 hrs?it took me 12 hrs.but no side missions,no screwing around.i'm sure that if you'll try and enjoy it with a slower pace...:)

nycredude5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

It's an open world Rockstar game at 15 hour core gameplay. That is short no matter what you say. However like pennywise said online will make up for it. I am not complaining as i have it paid off but even Darksiders was longer!!!

@bloodybutcher
Trust me I am going to enjoy the heck outa the game and i know it will take me way longer than 15 hours. i was just wondering if this is true or not. Haven't heard it from anywhere else yet. BTW how the heck you finish GTA 4 ub 12 hours!??

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

Snookies126d ago (Edited 6d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

purple1016d ago (Edited 6d 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!

DaReapa6d 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_gaming39d 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-Long39d 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_gaming39d ago

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

purple10139d 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

Skuletor39d 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.

CrimsonWing6939d 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_gaming39d 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.

Inverno39d 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_gaming39d ago

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