"When talking about Rockstar’s latest triumph, Red Dead Redemption, it seems inevitable that comparisons are drawn to another prominent Rockstar franchise, the Grand Theft Auto series. Skeptics say that “it’s basically GTA with horses, cowboys, and Mexicans,” and while the people that think that are partly right, at the same time they are completely wrong. The biggest similarities are the obvious ones, which are the open world style and mission based gameplay. However, the list of things that make the title a completely unique and engaging experience trump anything that makes it similar. Red Dead Redemption isn’t an evolutionary step but rather a revolutionary step in the sandbox style action adventure genre. With Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar has once again reaffirmed that if anyone out there is going to “out do” them in a genre that they have pretty much created, they better try really hard as the bar has been set so high that it may just be out of reach."
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Rockstar Games may be preparing to release its open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 1, on PC.
There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh man I want this game so bad!
Currently playing the game now, and can say that the review is probably the most detailed I've read on the internet as of yet. The game is that great, and should be played by sanbox fans, and anyone who's been a fan of previous Rockstar games. It is definitely a must buy, and it will definitely be a Game of the Year contender.
great review, very detailed and to the point. i love this game.
I can't pull myself away from this game, it's like Rockstar put subliminal messages in the game to keep me playing.
This game introduces sone great innovation to video games and will become a huge franhise.
