GameSpy: Red Dead Redemption Review

The fact of the matter is, this is a game that you really need to play (hell, just watching someone play might be enough) to appreciate. With Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar succeeds in creating one of the most impressive open worlds ever seen in a game.

But last time Gta 4 got these reviews and it was the worst in the series, ill wait for some actual user to start telling me some actual complains and not those "minor flaws" from reviews.

Since where i live there is no way of renting a game and Rockstar wont release a demo, i cant simply trow money and hope for the best (like gta4).

Trey_4_life5111d ago

I have already explained this to several people over the course of this week, GTA4 was not a 'bad' game as you quote, it received critically high scores from the gaming journalism because it was good, with it's individualistic car handling and realist physics and real time dynamic weather system etc.

My point being, i hate modern warfare and so do hundreds and thousands of sensible minded gamers but then their is that crazy several million who just love the game, yet i still acknowledge that it's a quality title in it's own right, if you like campers and noob tubes.

Each to his own.

darthdevidem015111d ago

So, it was still boring.

I'v played GTA:San Andreas for more hours than GTA4 since GTA4 came out.

cemelc5111d ago (Edited 5111d ago )

Dude i didnt said it was a bad game, i said it was the worst in the series and it is.

That game wasnt a 10 it was more like an 8 to 8.5, so that translate to good not great or brilliant

Socrates5111d ago

That's your opinion. You didn't like it, fine, but don't act like it is a fact.

Personally I disliked San Andreas the most out of all the GTA games. I didn't like the gang-banger setting. Common street thugs don't interest me. I much prefer the setting in Red Dead Redemption. Heck, even the characters and setting of GTAIV were a lot better to me than in San Andreas.

The point is, it is all down to personal taste. Just because you didn't like GTAIV doesn't mean that many people didn't love it.

Cemelc, I've played this game for God knows how long now. I'm currently number one on R*'s Social Club Solomon's Challenge with 1m37s.

You have several minor skills you can build up to become a Legend of the West - hunt wildlife, sharpshooting (shoot two hats off of people), look for flowers, etc.

Then you can lasso people and take them with you (bounty hunters, gang leaders) or bronco bust with the lasso with a little mini-game.

Speaking of mini-games: Dice, Blackjack, Poker, Horse Shoes.

Then there are the side missions, the stranger missions, the gang hideouts, the random missions on the sides of the road...

And I'm still on the first county!

Buy this game, man. I was one of the thousands that hated GTA4, and this is no GTA4.

Lykon5111d ago

that's encouraging....

vice city was my favorite GTA , san andreas was fun and large, but had the low life thug culture thing... GTA IV great detailed city but poor mini games and irritating mobile phone nagging friends factor.

so if you one of the guys that hated gtaIV yet love rdr then this is the kind of feedback i'm interested in, as reviews mean nothing after the gtaIV nonsense. so um thanks.

Robulos5111d ago

I couldn't get into GTA 4 or San Andreas. I didn't like either one at all. I loved Red Dead Revolver so I picked up Red Dead Redemption hoping that it would be different and man what a great suprise! I'm only about 3 hours into the game and I love it! They nailed the south west landscape and I should know I live in southern New Mexico right in Billy The Kids old stomping grounds. The story has already sucked me in which is some thing I could never say about any of the GTA games I've played. The horse controls are some of the best out of any game I've ever played with horses, better the SoTC. The voice acting is great etc...etc...I could go on but it would just be repeating what most of the reviews have already stated. So far it's like playing or being in a Western Movie. I did notice one NPC on a horse stuck in the ground but other than that it's an amazing ride so far! I hope this helps you to make up your mind. This really appears to be a game not to miss.

Kos-Mos5111d ago (Edited 5111d ago )

"You know, to date, I have thought that sure, sure critics make mistakes, but not I realized, they don't just make mistakes, they are all a bunch of idiots. I quote "As good as if not better than Grand Theft Auto IV" -Boomtown Okay, so wait, let me get this right, you are comparing RDR with a 3 year old game and saying it deserves a 10 because it is better than that game? It is like me saying Forza 3 is 10/10 because it is the same game as Forza 2 (an example, not true). Its just plain stupid. What happened to all you idiotic critics going on about originality? After giving me all that crap, then you come and tell me that a game deserves 10/10 because it is identical to its predecessor with a new skin? Didn't the same thing happen to MW2? How long are you critics going to give us this bullshit? I quote myself from another website: "I know how this will turn out, critics will give it 10/10s around the world (because they get carried away with hype, not what you expect from so called "professionals"), millions of people will buy it because of the bullshit they just bought, and 2 weeks in the bitching will start and it wont stop until 2015. Then later on critics will be too scared to hate on the game or not give it GOTY because they will be ruining their own reputation by denying what they themselves had previously said. Then we will have to wait for websites like VG charts to give it biggest disappointment because they don't do reviews. You can quote me on this." And everything seems to be going as planned so far. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about this game. And what it actually is. Just GTA IV, with a new skin. GTA IV had some of the biggest flaws in gaming, like lock on shooting (even though other developers stopped using that design a long long time ago.). That is not the only problem as GTA IV had some of the most repetitive missions. I could go on for hours about GTA IV but I wont, even I was stuck under the hype, first week or so I played it and I thought it was the most amazing game ever, then I realized what a piece of shit it was. Dont buy this game, don't support idiots like Activision and Rockstar, they are practically ruining the industry, they are sending out a bad message to other developers "make the same identical shitty game as the old one give a new number next to the name and every body will buy it LOLOLOLOL"."

Kos-Mos5111d ago

Above: I just copied a users opinion about the game. I think it`s marvelous.

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

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood2d ago (Edited 2d 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.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d 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!

DaReapa2d 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_gaming35d 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-Long35d 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_gaming35d ago

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

purple10135d 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

Skuletor35d 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.

CrimsonWing6935d 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_gaming35d 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.

Inverno35d 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_gaming35d 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

Exvalos49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

anast49d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg49d 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.

CobraKai48d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
