Gamesradar | Red Dead Redemption Review

There’s no point having a sprawling landscape if you can't fill it with tons of s*** to do in between the regular missions. GTAIV has the occasional stranger to help out in Liberty City. Just Cause 2 has a stack of things to blow up around Panau. And Far Cry 2 has, erm? . Anyway, Red Dead Redemption and its miles of dusty land between different towns and villages could’ve wound up a joyless trek to wander across. But, holy crap, there’s so much stuff to do here that you need never be bored.

Hurry up and come out already.

El_Colombiano5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

That's what she said.

EDIT: @*&^$@^&%#^&!!!!!! !!!!! Beat me to the punch!!

tinybigman5117d ago

even though i've never played the first one.

btw i'm not trying to start anything but can someone please tell me what Gamerankings and Metacritic have to gain by not putting the Eurogamer score of 8 up for the 360, and only for the PS3 when the review clearly states it's for both.

please explain this to me because my friend and i find this really stupid.

Marceles5117d ago

"Is it better than...GTAIV?

No. But only just. It's highly subjective but personally we prefer pissing about in Banshees around Star Junction than riding a horse about. And the story of Niko is more involving and interesting than John Marston's."

Kinda surprised to hear that, but they did say highly subjective

bjornbear5117d ago

as a big GTA fan i didn't, and im hoping RDR completes me in the ways GTA IV didn't:

actually making me want to play it beyond the story.

Lumbo5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

QFT

The restrictive structure of GTA4 was a letdown after GTA3:SA and the repetitive missions did not help either.

iceman065117d ago

kept me into GTAIV was the story. The rest was kind of a gimping of the various activities that were present in previous GTA games...especially Vice City and San Andreas. That being said...this wild west twist could provide a great template for a storyline. Guess I'll be waiting until tomorrow to find out!!!

Morituri5117d ago (Edited 5117d ago )

These kinds of open world games are a double edged sword. There's so much to do which is a plus. But the general Long- windedness of most of these tales can develop into a real drag if the gameplay mechanics have not been streamlined to keep you from getting tired of playing the game. It doesn't bother me too much to not finish them, but I'm hoping that this time we have an exception.

But really looking forward to playing this in my spare time. I haven't played a really good western game as of yet.

iceman065117d ago

I usually complete these open world games on a pick up and play basis. Sometimes, I'll play just for the mechanics of shooting and causing chaos. Then, sometimes I actually try to advance the story. This leads to unfinished games at times (like GTA IV). But, no less fun in the process. I don't see myself finishing Just Cause 2 for quite a while because of this. RDR might be in the same boat. Especially with the fact that there is an online component!

Darkstorn5117d ago

I keep hearing that this game in insanely easy. I guess we'll have to find out...preordered on Amazon, but not shipping until May 24th :(

iceman065117d ago

It really depends on your play style. Much like the GTA franchise, you can make as much or as little trouble for yourself. The broadcaster spent 2 hours taking requests on what to do in the game. It was quite hilarious! He seemed to be pretty good, and about 25% completion, and he died multiple times. However, that could be because he had a bounty of almost $5000 and was hunted at almost every turn. Either way, I can't wait to find out!!!

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.
